Oh you totally have a point there! You’re right there is a big difference and using that experience as like a “dude bro one time I was homeless in like Hawaii” story is really wrong!

Ah but Latin culture is very racist! In my family, if your skin is darker than a toasty brown, you are made fun of and called negrito (old racist Mexican families whatcanyado) and if your skin is light its EVEN WORSE cause everyone calls you huera or white and it’s not a good thing at all lol. And not just my family…

Yea I guess. While he was doing that though he was an “actual homeless” person. You can be homeless by choice and you can talk about it without it being the worst point of your life too. I think it’s one of those things that if you’ve been there... no one can really tell you what the right way is to react.

Totally. If I grew up 100% more disadvantaged than every other spoiled-from-money person that moves to LA, I wouldn’t let the last 5 years or so of success redefine my background. If I hit the lottery tomorrow, I’m still me with all my years of low level work and struggle and newfound millions.

Debatable. I had a cousin who did the whole “i’m moving to Hawaii and living out of a car on the beach” thing for about a year. No privilege. Also something that’s not a right a passage for anyone, unless you grew up in Hawaii .. or on the west coast :)

Bobby, please clarify if camels were edited from the original motion picture masterpiece!

2 seasons: summer and almost summer

I purchased NARS velvet matte lip crayon in DragonGirl after being told it was a universally flattering red and I was convinced I’d leave this world without finding a hue that didn’t make me look like I just came off my extra shift from the moulin rouge. I have to say it’s my new favorite thing!! Highly recommend…

Very partial to Anne Klein Sports flat which I wore when I worked retail and had to be on my feet ALL day. Supremely comfortable and long lasting.

Cash cab *squeal*! I’m truly very sad that Girls is ending, I relate to Hannah in many ways and it was awesome to see a nasty girl like me out on tv :) Shameless, US or UK?

Pretty much. If someone I knew less than 24 hours commented on my simple grammar mistake you’d get HELLLA EYE ROLL. Priorities, my dude.

I may totally share that idea with a friend couple of mine!! They’re not librarians, but they do have these crazy detailed bullet journals that run their lives. The only shows I watch that occur on a weekly basis (no cable for me) are from my HBO/Showtime subscriptions and are almost about to end! Homeland Season Six…

Really! I grew up in a house with guns (Army folk) and my ass would was exposed everytime I even so much as TOUCHED the keys that opened the case!

Starred* for da kitty.

I am so sorry you had to go through that and alone. Losing a furry best friend is a very singular kind of pain and my heart goes out to you tonight <3

I love that you have a TV board!! Do you keep track of the episode you’re on with each show or is it more a planner for daily/weekly watching?? Also, how do you like Archer? It’s on my list, but besides Anime I don’t really watch that many cartoon shows!

TV thread!!
Unemployment has struck, ya’ll, and yours truly has not felt that awkwardness of having an empty account and no biweekly DD to refill it like...ever. Luckily this gave me a great chance to catch up (cough) on some TV!

Yup! As a brown woman traveling with an arabic boyfriend, we like to err on the side of “lets not get killed tonight in a random city”.

Not uncommon at all. Speaking as a LA native here born to LA natives that are both not white and racist-y. My dad even voted for Trump. To build a wall against Mexico. He’s Mexican. You should have seen my family’s reaction when I brought home my boyfriend. Racism is really not uncommon in this area especially for…
