i don’t trust people who are super into “proper grammar” and “correct punctuation” because what lies just beyond that smug superiority is some sinister classism that gets acutely racist in a red hot minute, so for similar reasons I’m instantly wary of anyone who takes great pride in their love of “logic” and “intellect”

David Alan Harvey: Oaxaca, Mexico (1992)
At one time a mesoamerican center whose cultures rivaled those of the better known Maya and Aztec, Oaxaca is now among Mexico’s poorest states. The Zapotec, one of the largest and most powerful groups in pre-Hispanic times, once dominated the Oaxaca Valley. The Zapotec people possessed a calendar system and written language and raised the hilltop city of Monte Alban, which reached its apex about A.D. 650, only to be mysteriously abandoned shortly thereafter. In a land the size of Indiana, 14 indigenous languages and 90 different dialects are spoken. The Zapotec, Mixtec, Chatino, Trique, Mixe and several other groups make Oaxaca the most ethnically complex state in Mexico.

Goo Dragon- This creature is not one being- but a large colony of sentient mold, possessing a single consciousness. If part of the animal is cut off, it will find its way back and re-join. This colony scavenges bones to use as a makeshift structure- making moving around and hunting other animals easier. The colony can change the arrangement of this skeletal structure as they see fit. The more this creature eats, the more the green slime mold will grow. When the colony becomes too large and heavy to move, they will split into two creatures

When we started discussing what we were going to wear for my graduation, my ma quietly and hesitantly asked, “Mai sari pehen sakti hoon?”
Can I wear a sari?
And I was suddenly hit with shame and revulsion for myself. I have in the past asked her not to wear overly desi clothes to celebrations because I was embarrassed. But now, I am deeply ashamed that I had internalized so much hatred for myself, for my colorful culture and traditions, for our beautiful and historical clothes, that I would ever do such a terrible thing. That I would make my own ma think twice before asking to wear a sari.
It was with tears in my eyes that I begged her to please wear the sari.
I love my ma’s saris, and I love my ma’s bindi, and I love my ma.
My greatest accomplishment on graduation was not my diploma, but her pride. Everything for you, ma. Thank you.
THIS MADE ME CRY SO HARD

When I start to get emotional I immediately think “I’m so gay” and this is because straight people actually don’t have emotions
this is false and heterophobic. straight people have a panorama of emotions including:
- outrage
- jealousy
- Situational Benevolence (aka “don’t fight hate w/ hate”)
- sports
- umami, the “Fifth Emotion”
- TGIF
