Despite living in Mexico, I made the mistake of watching this in English and I wanted to die inside each time whatever rep tie-wearing retired mayonnaise sandwich was doing the announcing said “Chicharito.” God bless the USMNT, you scored a fantastic golazo in an incredibly hostile stadium (and may la virgencita bless

Ummm likeimnottryingtobeabitchorwhatever buuut I feel like I specifically requested cage free vegan gerbil milk? I’m gonna need to speak to your manager.

Yeah, that’s A Thing. It’s called “genital echo theory.” Some researchers think it’s the same reason full lips —especially with red lipstick— are considered sexually attractive.

Yes, it’s suuuuper normal which means your new #1 job as a couple is figuring out how to communicate about it in a productive way and DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES get married until you figure that shit out. Just like when you were a kid and no one could push your buttons like your siblings, no one can get to you as

Take your star for Outstanding Achievement in Descriptive Slathering.

Personal experience supports this. We have gone out of our way to minimize the time and money we spend in the US. We usually do a big road trip, stopping in small towns and places that predominantly supported Trump and frankly between the administration and the trigger happy cops, driving cross country in a

My completely uninformed but somewhat hopeful take is that she’s probably not too much of an adherent but since her family is in it, it’s in her interest not to risk becoming a Suppressive Person or whatever it is which would force the rest of her fam to cut her off or suffer troubles.

You probably mean spatial but I’m 100% stealing the word Spacial to help describe the problem I have when I get wobbly in front of something special like a particularly powerful piece of art. Gracias!

it’s an ASOS dress reminiscent of a motif from Prada’s 2008 spring RTW. Somehow I know that but can’t reliably remember my own phone number. Good prioritizing, me.

Thank you for being a conscientious dog owner! I have ridiculous hearing so shrill dogs will bother me more than the average person. If I were your neighbor I’d probably be vaguely annoyed because shrilly barking dogs are annoying, but as long as you had them inside and didn’t just leave them to

I was really pulling for him because I was interested in seeing what new form his material would take, but ended up cringing through the entire special (I can’t remember the name. It was the one set up around meeting OJ Simpson a mess of times). The whole thing felt like he was trying to do a Paul Mooney set, which is

If I want to cry at a TV show I will watch the “18th and Potomac” episode of The West Wing, the way Jesus intended.

You’re totally right, of course. That’s what I meant by erasure. You’ve got tons and tons of people —mostly POC— fighting the good fight in some of the most racist parts of the country, day in and day out with little to no recognition, but a handful of Stay-Puft Marshmallow Bigots gets together to wave tiki torches

There are plenty of POC who came up in the South, love the South, do good works in the South, are proud of being Southerners, and wouldn’t dream of moving even if that means having to deal with more overt racism, erasure of their works, appropriation of their culture, AND the whole southerners-are-stupid thing.

Oh man, do I feel you on this one. It’s been almost two years since I went no contact with my best friend of 20 years. I think about her every day and wish things had been different, but I don’t regret doing it. Some days I mourn the loss, some days I’m still furious, some days I get down on my knees and thank little

I’ve always said no one does gender as performance like Mexican@s. I mean, girls here get that drag race beat just to go to the tianguis on the weekend. That being said, I do have some kinda complicated and not quite thoroughly thought-out feels about misogyny being so rampant here that Latinx drag queens get positive

And the Side Eye of Justice!

My favorite part is that they’re dressing up as Catrinas without realizing the original illustration of the Catrina was basically a hundred year-old subtweet trolling the fuck out of people who want to pretend they’re a culture/ethnicity they’re not by dressing up and painting their skin.

plus, we don’t even celebrate Cinco de Mayo here in Mexico. I mean I guess they do in Puebla, but celebrating it anywhere else in Mexico would be like Utah celebrating the Siege of the Alamo. Honestly I’d totally forgotten all about it until the day of and then I was like my “oh shit, all the white Americans are going

Debt? Meh. It happens. But this dude has been lying to you and then lying about lying. Not ideal. Protect yourself until you can get out, then GTFO. Good luck!
