Minorities…

Driving through the middle of the Rockies. This was back when you would have to get a physical internet card to get Internet anywhere outside your home, and it wasn’t getting any signal.

Seems like a horribly xenophobic policy. Honestly a red flag.

I personally speak Spanish and French at work, in addition to obviously English. Work is the only place I really get to practice speaking French, and I take any chance I can to speak Spanish since I don’t want to lose it

You can get better food for cheaper at a local restaurant nowadays. Maybe not a fancy place but your local taco joint or diner.

Because X is a chromosome

Literally anything MAGA says

English, Spanish/Spanglish, and a bit of French. Parfois, I like to cambiar idiomas dans le middle of une phrase to mess with mes amigos. But yes I always mix up things. The most common is when I accidentally inject Spanish into French

My dad brought me to the US when I was 5, and I spent almost all of my life there. I made a home for myself, made connections that I miss dearly, and got some fantastic opportunities as a circus performer.

But as a latina trans woman, I’m not sticking around for the genocide. It’s been building my whole life and I’ve spent my whole adult life screaming from the rooftops about my right to exist but it’s mostly gone unheard. Now we’re here.

For context, I permanently left the US because of Trump.

Moving is really difficult. Moving internationally moreso. Immigration aside, assuming you don’t have any visa problems or anything, there’s so much logistical and bureaucratic headache involved that the stress alone caused me to gain significant weight.

That said, I have no regrets. I’m glad to be out of that mess. Even if my new country isn’t perfect, it’s already such an improvement over even pre-Trump USA. While I didn’t have to learn its second language, it’s one I’ve been wanting to learn so I decided to jump right in. I’m enjoying the process and have been picking it up rather quickly.

I still have my original Pikachu gameboy color, and it works. Somehow the battery on my Pokemon Red hasn’t died but there’s nothing useful on it.

Not electronic, but I have a pre-WW2 era windup clock that still works. It’s loud af and built like a tank

It’s what you make of it. Some people don’t make anything with theirs.

Personally, for me it’s to form community and to leave a positive lasting influence on others. Except fascists, they can rot in hell. For others, it might be to learn as much as they can or to impart their wisdom onto their children.

I’m currently in the middle of learning a new language as an adult. I’m using Duolingo for the formal grammar lessons, but most of my learning is honestly coming from music, audiobooks, and reading comics. Recently made a few friends who speak it so that helps too.

Do… Do you even know anything about NYC? Without googling, how much is subway fare?

Or better yet, answer me this: you see an empty subway car pulling in. It’s 6pm on a Wednesday, the other cars have people in them. Do you get on?

You start a GoFundMe then die

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

Any amount of support for official Harry Potter content, other than buying the books secondhand, directly funds and abets trans people dying.

Fuck off

Spanish was my first language, but I started English in elementary school. Currently learning French lol.

My Spanish is maybe B2, my English is solidly C2, French is A2

Bruh as someone who grew up in the US then left, US food is trash. It’s loaded full of artificial dyes and corn syrup. You know how Mexican Coke tastes better than American Coke? That same principle applies to everything, eg: compare Canadian Heinz (ironically made in the US) to US Heinz. The US is slowly poisoning its whole population in the name of profits

Anecdotally, I also don’t know exactly why, but produce seems fresher where I live now. Produce bought in the US always goes bad in like 2-3 days. Also our eggs only cost a few bucks.

I will absolutely slander food in the US

It’s risky if you’re any of the following:

• Black/brown, or from a non-white country
• Queer (ESPECIALLY if you’re trans/NB, I left because it got that bad)
• A woman
• Disabled
• Have made left-leaning posts on social media

Even if you’re none of those, there’s always the chance that your next trip to the mall or store will become the next major event in your life. There’s also the slim chance that you might get an all-expenses paid trip to El Salvador. Don’t do it, it’s not worth it.

Futurama - Meanwhile

The “new” episodes they released afterwards don’t count. I acknowledge that they exist but I do not grant them the title of canon.
