Bad girls do it well.

I am a proud and sarcastic Latina (Dominican and Guatemalan) who watches too many cartoons and makes men cry. I love awesome ladies, Latin food and music, teaching myself and others about social issues and neuroscience. Fullmetal Alchemist is the love of my life and I will occasionally gush about it.

19 Reasons Latin Americans Come To The U.S. That Have Nothing To Do With The American Dream

The conventional wisdom says that most Latin American migrants who come to the United States are looking for a better life, inspired by the “American Dream.” And it’s hard to deny that there’s a lot of truth in that. But there’s another…

1. Took over almost half of Mexico

2. Colonized Puerto Rico in 1898

3. Took over Cuba, put a naval base there, and only left when the new government allowed them the right to intervene at will

4. Invaded and occupied Cuba two more times

5. Invaded Nicaragua and occupied the country for two decades

6. Invaded Haiti and occupied the country for nearly 20 years

7. Invaded the Dominican Republic in 1916

8. Overthrew Guatemala’s elected government in 1954

Usagi: Damn, you’re handsome!

Mamoru: You think so :D?

Usagi: You’re so well proportioned you look good in anything!

[ladyloveandjustice]

I can’t even begin to describe how hilarious and adorable I find this.

I mean the fact Usagi just runs up to her boyfriend and is like “DAMN YER HANDSOME!” She doesn’t play around, GET IT GIRL.

And that Mamoru’s reaction is to giggle and blush and be like “omg you think so for reals that makes me happy”

and then she starts going on about his proportions okay  we know where your eyes have been wandering now Mamoru just giggles some more and  is like “cut out Usako aawww” gosh they are a couple of dorks.

Also the “you look good in anything” has that hidden subtext of “which is good because your fashion taste is shit”.

There are no Jack Kerouacs or Holden Caulfields for girls. Literary girls don’t take road-trips to find themselves; they take trips to find men. "Great" books, as defined by the Western canon, didn’t contain female protagonists I could admire. In fact, they barely contained female protagonists at all.
