  • We deserve the world’s anger as a nation, for much more than just this.

    Many of us are fighting, but this is a capitalist hellhole where billionaires have had the higher ground for decades and our parents only have made them stronger by deregulating the systems put in place to combat billionaires.

    Most Americans are fighting just to survive one more day.

    Tax the billionaires. Reject corporate behemoths.

    Protect your education and voting systems. Protect journalism.

    Put empathy and compassion before money, or watch your country follow the same path to capitalist hell.






  • De que vergas estás hablando, wey?

    No tienes que inventar que hacer que alguien se sienta incluído significa que tenemos que aceptar estupideces o ignorancia.

    Es más, la gente que es diferente de lo que es normalmente aceptado por la sociedad se esconden entre los intelectuales, no los imbéciles-- son ingenieros, artistas, escritores, diseñadores, profesores, filósofos, doctores.

    No solo son los que se dejan ver abiertamente.

    No seas ignorante.


  • I think it’s done to avoid saying “vecinos” because non-Spanish speakers don’t always understand or accept that the masculine conjugation of the word is not reflective of how the word is interpreted by Spanish speakers (includes all genders).

    One compromise that is widely adopted in the USA and Mexico is to use the “@” to indicate both the masculine and feminine conjugation of a given word applies.

    Example:

    Defiende a tus vecin@s.

    And for those who think the whole thing is stupid, please get off your high horse. It clearly really matters to some people, especially queer young adults and teens.

    Mexico does not have the greatest track record with queer people, so whatever makes them more comfortable, represented, and accepted as part of our community should be respected and encouraged, especially when the cost of doing so is just writing one single fucking letter differently.

    Cheers.






  • We can adapt to climate change as a species better if each of us personally take the steps to mitigate its impact and learn to live with far less consumption than we currently do.

    For example, making consumption changes and politically boycotting major corporations has been life-changing for me. I’m far less stressed about money because now that my tiny home is clutter free, I go out of my way to avoid buying stuff I don’t really have a need for.

    Every little effort in the right direction counts. It doesn’t have to be everyone and everything.


  • Emotionally immature people are more often highly insecure and will blame others instead of introspecting and examining their own attitudes and actions.

    They are very unhappy because they expect others to make them happy and they get angry when they fail to receive validation, since they do not how to do that for themselves.



  • I’m in my 30s, and in my opinion, it is rare to reach this age without having experienced something traumatic best discussed with a therapist.

    My ex rejected therapy and it was a huge pain in the ass to be used as his personal therapist, so I made sure I wouldn’t go through that again by only dating those who appreciated the value of therapy.

    Therapy is expensive, but it’s also sometimes freely available in college or through Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).


  • When I made a Hinge profile, I stated I was not interested in any men that were not progressives, nor would I be wasting my time on any men that had never gone to therapy.

    I got SO many messages from the ugliest, fattest, and most misogynistic motherfuckers just shitting on my completely reasonable request. Many of them also would mention how much money they had, completely ignorant of the fact my base salary was significantly larger than their own.

    It really saved me a lot of leg work narrowing down on quality men to talk to, and today I’m happily together with a man that goes to therapy, cries at sad movies, and whom I spoil with my paycheck.
