  • i had this cuban moreno friend who was overly proud of his spanish heritage and would make fun of my chicano spanish sometimes. each time he did it in public, i would shut him up by asking someone in the group which one of us was latino which one was american; my garden variety mexican looks always got picked as latino and his afrocubano ass got picked as american. it was especially delicious if the person i asked knew that he could speak spanish.

    i thoroughly enjoyed using american racism to put him in his place and it’s probably the only time in my life where that racism worked to my advantage. lol










  • … every trans person, every immigrant … anyone who isn’t a white, cishet, Christian man is at risk of violence or death.

    this rings so hollow because i lived as a target of biden’s votes & support of laws against lgbt people for decades and biden opportunistically switched sides LONG after public opinion changed and he is still literally imprisoning immigrants fleeing persecution like the person who i built a life with before he got deported also because of biden’s votes.

    it sucked trying to make a life during that time and it’ll suck again under trump, but i’ll still be alive to try; which is much better than the people in gaza will get either way.
