fucking hate when someone calls out other ppl for appropriating latino culture or making fun of some aspect of it. and then in comes some random ass latino, "we dont care abt this, we're laughing with them, we're not sensitive 馃檮"
bitch First of all, stand the fuck up for yourself. they made a fucking joke at ur expense and they continuously do it and u wanna laugh with them 馃ズ
and its not just at ur expense. its at the expense of ur parents. siblings. friends?? if as a latino you've never experienced aggressions or had ppl already decided ur not trustworthy or speak to you like a child bc they assume u dont speak english or call you names or have police target ur dad and push him around when he's just walking or claiming that ur mom had drugs on her on a random ass stop bc for what fucking reason, idk, but it fucking happens or getting referred to as "you people" constantly paired with just an awful assumption abt "you ppl" or bullied for an accent ir not speaking english.
thats great for you. im really glad you didnt have to deal with that, specifically if u grew up in the US, but honestly, anywhere else where these might present as problems.
but this whole "latinos aren't sensitive 馃ズ not like other ppl" shut up shut up shut up
BC the Second thing im talking abt is the fucking rude ass implications always attached to that fucking statement. these people always bring up "being sensitive" and "other people". underhandedly undermining the progress and valid statements and concerns and violence brought up by other racial and ethnic minorities. theyre speaking out abt their experiences and the unfairness of it and in comes this fucking guy, claiming its ppl being sensitive and they can't take a joke, but he can so he's better and he's different. YOU HEAR THAT, WHITE PPL??? HE'S DIFFERENT!! YOU GOT THAT?? UR SURE??
literally fuck you dude, you'd rather laugh next to an oppressor than the black, brown, or indigenous person who's speaking abt the endless struggles that the oppressor ur standing next to causes that makes their lives difficult and, many times, dangerous. good job, ur just like them now, im pretty sure thats what u want? like genuinely, thats what u want?? did they choose u??
and yeah, Third, bc despite the fact that its not obviously there sometimes, the fucking anti-blackness/racism in these statements and occurrences and within the community as a whole. your experiences as a white latino or even as "mestizo" (i dont particularly like using that word to describe myself or others bc of its roots in the spanish caste system, but I don't have a better word, if anyone can help out there, I'd appreciate it very much <3) dont encompass all latino experience within the US OR within the country your family might have immigrated from. talk to your fellow afro latinos and indigenous members of the community. even if you're dont experience any struggles to speak abt, if ur families doesnt, listen to other people in ur community and be a fucking ally. fucking idiot
my Fourth and probably final point is documentation status within the US. if u came into the US with documents, if u were born in the US, etc etc. thats privilege baby. i guarantee you ur experiences as a documented latino is going to be different than the experiences as an undocumented latino.
there are resources you can reach when ur a citizen that are unavailable to undocumented ppl. and not just latinos in this case, i mean from all over the world, but especially if ur a racial/ethnic minority in the US.
my mom came to the US undocumented. she was getting that shit ready when my family had a fallout and we became homeless. the fucking. obstacle's she had to go through to access resources were fucking crazy. many many times they didn't want to offer these resources to her or us simply based on her undocumented status. many many assumptions were made abt her and our family. she was taken advantage of in jobs and programs.
the problems didnt exactly stop when she finally became a resident, but that weight was so so so much lighter on her after that. we finally had access to resources they refused her before and things became much easier.
I know that as someone who was born in the US, im already less likely to face such events that my mom did. that's privilege already.
if u go to or went to a majority latino school, there might be a chance that there are students who recently came from latin america, maybe within the last year or few months or weeks (my hs school had new students come in every couple of months). pay attention to how they're treated. not just by students, but by the staff. there is discrimination going on there. teachers might make little comments, call them lazy, stupid. its not funny. speak up for them. these teachers are making nasty comments in english when the students usually dont grasp the language so well yet, they JUST moved there. if you dont need to speak up for yourself, fine, speak up for others.
making jokes out of latino struggles reinforces stereotypes and its not you on the bad end of them bc ur laughing with the white man on the otherside. but there are still members from ur own community that might fit some of the stereotypes (bc ur reinforcing these stereotypes by making fun of the CULTURE, our actual way of life) and thats enough for some racist or xenophobic asshole to grasp onto and make a persons day or life a little shittier.
ur not the only person in ur community. there are actually communities out there, latino ppl who speak up on the issues ur laughing abt. in laughing with the oppressor, ur undermining ur community. fuck off dude, fr.

im kiiinda of a bad person hahaha
okay i spent the last 4 days sleeping over at my friends place. just me and her since our other friend went to san diego to see her fiance for the weekend.
and ???
4 days was TOO long bc now i like her oops
it was just us for 4 days. watching movies. smoking. cuddling. sleeping. it was great. and like?? kinda intimate sometimes, i was like "damn this is kinda gay" a lot.
heres the thing tho. she JUST got out of a long term relationship. like 5 years? and there's no bad blood between them, he's moving to another state and shes staying in here.
it would literally be way too soon i think. i dont think she needs another relationship rn, just a friend.
but Jesus, that was the quickest i ever got a crush fr. on a friend especially. i rarely have crushes on friends. especially people ive been friends with for a while.
this will resolve itself with sleep, i think

lol yall ever cry bc ur building has no hot water and you need to take a shower and u just want to feel clean and being a child was feeling the looming doom of being an adult in a world that does care abt your parents or you and being an adult is just living the life in the world you feared growing up and everything is about money no matter how much you dont want it to be and itll just be the sane thing day after day after day after day after day after day

i feel like i put a lot of effort into ppl who used to be really good friends. and not a lot into the new friends in my life. i dont know if that fault is loyalty. stubbornness. but ive also realized the same ppl i put sm effort into, dont do the same for me. im not one for new years resolutions. but this upcoming year im going to put more effort into new friendships. and hope they can blossom into something as beautiful as what i used to have with my older friends.

saw a tik tok abt some girl saying "not everyone is a DP girlie" (referring to dr. pepper) and then stitched it saying "omg i didnt realize"
so obviously DP stands for smth else. and ppl in the comments are asking like "whats a dp girlie?" and the replies are "hahah ur so innocent" and not answering the question
THATS SO ANNOYING TO ME !!
I KNOW WHAT DOUBLE PENETRATION IS, I JUST DIDNT GET RIGHT AWAY THATS WHAT PPL WERE CONFUSING DO WITH BC THE VIDEO IS ABT DR PEPPER SO IM STILL ON THE DR PEPPER ROUTE OF THINKING !! so now i gotta make the fucking connection bc ppl cant answer a simple ass question always gotta be "omg so innocent 馃ズ" stfu im going to grab you by your hair

life is so lonely and i feel it with my siblings
i see ppl talk abt how they fight with their siblings. and i understand that part. but then 5 min later theyre best friends. or theres still a solidarity with each other
and that just doesnt exist between my siblings and I
it makes me sad
ppl talk abt how "we fight BAD" and then i see then be besties and talk abt how happy they are to have their siblings.
it sometimes feels like my siblings and i are the only ones who lack that bond. which isnt true, im sure lots of people dont have it.
but i think ive come to realize thats where i feel the most lonely. when i see other siblings have solidarity. and enjoy each other's company even after a bad fight.
i hate that our mom made our house feel like some sort of war zone where everyone was against everyone.
or maybe thats just how I felt

i havent fixated on something so deeply in so long.... i miss it. i feel like my attention span is not what it used to be. and I work and go out a lot. i just saw a tik tok that reminded me of that feeling.
it wasnt ALL great either, sometimes it was too much. it hurt my brain and kept me from eating and sleeping lol.
sometimes i think i should've gone out more as a teen, but other times i appreciate that i spent so much time loving the things I did.
and i go out plenty as an adult, with money now so i get to have a little more fun haha

when i first start consuming a media. i like to take a little peak at ao3. just to see whats going on there. a little peak. and sometimes im so confused by some popular ships. then i reach a certain section in the media where im like "oooooooh, now i get it. I see. I understand."
