âbits to use in everyday conversationsâ
you have to love trans women more than you hate transmisogyny, you have to love jews more than you hate antisemitism, you have to love Black people more than you hate white supremacy, you have to love Indigenous people more than you hate colonialism, you have to love the disabled and mentally ill more than you hate ableism, you have to love. you have to love.
When people argue that food from Chinese and Mexican restaurants in the US are not 'real' representations of that culture's cuisine ignore the historical reality that these dishes were developed by diasporic communities striving to recreate the flavors of home with available resources. Such criticism frames adaptation as a loss of authenticity, rather than recognizing it as a sincere and evolving expression of culture by people separated from their homeland.
Also it just overlooks the fact that large parts of the United States literally used to be Mexico. Like yeah, chinese-american food is a diaspora cuisine and it's awesome.
But Mexican-american food is "regional cuisine that often began developing in what used to be part of Mexico/Mexican territory and continued to develop after the borders changed."
Some of it isn't "striving to recreate the flavors of home." Sure, maybe like, Mexican food in Chicago is about that. But I'm from Arizona. My family is from Tucson by way of (Tucson being annexed) and then Sonora & Chihuahua. We're not trying to recreate anything â because Tucson is still in the Sonoran desert.
This is a map of the Sonoran desert region:
I've helpfully marked Tucson.
Just to be clear, it takes an hour and 20 minutes nowadays to drive to the Mexican side of Nogales. You could walk the journey in a little over 27 hours. So obviously less than a week on horseback.
What I'm saying here is that the "diaspora" is maybe implying that Mexican-american cuisine largely developed with huge geographical distances or lack of access to Mexican cultivars or something but like.
Here's a map of New Spain in 1819:
Here's a map of the War:
I'm just saying that a lot of Mexican-American food is literally just food and culinary traditions that Mexicans were eating in northern parts of Mexico/New Spain.
It might shock people to learn, but there were Mexicans living in Mexico. And parts of Mexico are now the United States. And those Mexicans, if they stayed, are now Mexican Americans, and our culinary traditions have undergone normal growth and innovations over time. Mexico-mexicans also had normal innovations and growth in their regional cuisines as well! That's just how time and increased access with faster transport works. I have met a lot of people from Mexico who seem to think the second they're in San Diego instead of Tijuana, that the food is no longer authentic Mexican food and...it is baffling to me. It's an invisible line in the sand.
The border is not actually an impenetrable wall. The food doesn't become inauthentic at border patrol checkpoints. Those didn't even exist not that long ago.
It's authentic to something that isn't strictly about citizenship and documented nationality.
Of course! This is a great addition. It's crucial to remember that not all 'ethnic' food in a country comes from diaspora. Some of it is simply the native cuisine of land that was annexed.

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.
AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. Theyâve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropicâs AI training now threatens to âfinancially ruinâ the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

Even better, the comments to this Twitter post were an absolute FIRESTORM of mostly dudes explaining to her that dials canât only have 2 positions (not true) and that it wasnât a very good piece (not true) that she was being disrespectful to her teacher (donât care) and that it was a sign of her stupidity/rabid feminism/intellectual laziness/misandry/etc. that she couldnât see any âmiddle ground.â It became, in its way, a performance piece. I was absolutely mesmerised, even as I wished I could cock-punch people through the internet.
Personally I hope that knob goes to 11 and stays there.
âDials canât have only 2 positionsâ is also missing the point. Even if it doesnât have only 2 positions, the point stands that getting less of/farther away from âraging feministâ requires getting more of/closer to âcomplicit in my own dehumanization.â You should always be at 0% having to be complicit in your own dehumanization.

Are lace-makers ever struck by the realisation that all the holes were already there before they started?
Fanciest lace I've ever made, just need to fill in the edges.
Due to the craftsmanship shown in this picture, the emperor has requested that you make all of his clothes out of that exact lace.
before i go to bed because im ill again i just briefly want to say that white people's adoration and frankly over the top love of (certain) animals taking precedence over their care about people of color is disturbing and needs to be dealt with. saw an insta reel today of a girl who adopted a cat whose owners were abducted by ICE and the comments were just filled with "omg the poor cat!" "i feel so bad for the cat!" "omg it probably thinks it was abandoned!!!" "omg the cat!!" okay and what about the owners. what about the people who owned that cat and loved it and will probably never see it again. the owners that like no one knows the names of? the owners? like the people that owned the cat that got kidnapped so suddenly their cat was just left? what about the people. the owners. like remember them? people who are living their worst nightmare?
or the way yt people will prioritize animals in gaza over the humans that live there. or the way yt people will prioritize animals over like real human laborers farming in unsafe and deadly conditions for their agave or whatever vegan trend of the month. or the way yt ppl will tout ecofascist talking points in favor of animals and against human beings. or the way yt people try and push universal veganism instead of food sovereignty and dismiss the culinary traditions of indigenous groups. and and and
i just woke up from a dream where i was being interrogated by a bunch of people asking me if âfurbies are kosherâ firstlyâŚ. im not jewish. secondlyâŚâŚ..what the fuck
please stop sending me asks pertaining to the kosher status of furbies. i really do not know. this was just a manifestation of my subconscious. im assuming that they are not kosher because furbies arenât even food. but who knows! ask a rabbi, if you must.Â
Jew here! Furbies are actually worse than unkosherâthey are not permissible as food, even for gentiles. This is because the Torah teaches that it is forbidden for any human to eat the meat of an animal that is still alive, and the Furby cannot die.
hi this is the most ominous description of a furby i have ever heard
PHRASES ADDED!
âAre Furbies kosher?â
âThe Torah teaches that it is forbidden for any human to eat the meat of an animal that is still alive, and the Furby cannot die.â
The Furby cannot die in a way that matters.

Lost another mutual to the hockey show. So few of us remain, and I fear we cannot hold out for much longer. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and the second hall. The end comes soon. We cannot get out. We hear drums, drums in the deep. They are coming...
had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header âthe forcefeminization of victor frankensteinâ
what the people want, the people get
you see
my professorâs take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.
evidence as explained:
victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world
his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both âhysteriaâ and postpartum depression
he pretty much swoons, letâs be honest
henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalescesÂ
afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?
Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrationalÂ
the book does not otherwise have central female charactersÂ
Also, Shelleyâs mother died in childbirth. Itâs interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.
in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary  Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literatureÂ
