sometimes I think about how rattlesnakes are starting to adapt to bite immediately instead of using their rattle as a warning, because this defense mechanism that says "im here! im frightened! don't come close or ill bite you" has instead ilicited a reaction of "oh fuck a rattlesnake, i should kill it"

so of course every snake that has the instinct to warn humans of its presence gets killed, and only the snakes that bite first and dont make themselves known get to survive. a human who's been bitten is too worried about his swelling ankle to decapitate a snake with a shovel.

it's a good example of how humans make the world more dangerous for ourselves by believing that we have mastery and ownership of it. we think we have the power and importance to control the life around us down to the snakes and insects, but every animal fights for life. and no animal thinks that any human is more important than it's own life.

And some men do not understand the point and the message and leave comments like that the condoms and contraceptives are not the same, therefore no sexism.

C- Does it have Creatures?

O- Does it Offend the church?

C-Is it Completely unhinged?

Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you

Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.

CHAOTIC ACADEMIA

...im telling kids this was Les Misérables

[language-sanctuary]

Whenever I feel tired and don’t want to read academic texts or do research anymore I just remind myself that because I’m a POC and a woman I would have been burned at the stake three centuries ago for being literate and suddenly I want nothing but to spite white religious dead men with my knowledge.

Holy shit, I’ve never resonated with a post so much.

What does it mean to be “latino” or “hispanic”?

I’ve seen a misuse of these terms (especially by people from the US and on platforms that are US-centric) so I wrote an explanation on how to use them (aka me telling people what these terms they’re probably using to be racist actually mean. Please get this post to Trump, he really really needs it). 

Hispanic refers to a Spanish person (as in, from Spain) or someone who speaks Spanish. Before Spain (España) was called Spain, it was called Hispania since the Romans. Therefore, everyone whose native language is Spanish could be considered Hispanic. Usually, if you’re talking about people who speak Spanish (natively or not), you’d say they’re hispanohablantes or Spanish-speakers.

Latino means everyone who is from a country or speaks a language that originated from Latin. A French or Italian person could be referred as a Latino by definition, but I understand that languages and words evolve away from their original meaning. For example, when you’re talking about the latin poets, you’d usually find Virgil and Dante there, not Ruben Darío, you know?

Now, what can we do with these two words? Talking about America, it is usually divided in three major zones. North America (US and up), Central America (México) and South America (Guatemala, El Salvador, and down). I’ve seen people making México part of North America, so the division that I am presenting here might not be objective.

People who were born in an American country whose official language comes from Latin (Portuguese and Spanish) are called Latino American. (Brazilian people are Latino American but aren’t Hispano American).

For example, I live in Mexico and speak Spanish as first language, which makes me Latina and Hispanic, and I just happen to be a mix of white Spaniards and native Mesoamerican people, which doesn’t necessarily means I’m Latina or Hispanic.

Note: if you’re white or from the US you can reblog this but for the love of God refrain from telling me how I should refer to myself. I am so tired of explaining basic geography to people and wondering why they say they are “from America” when they mean the US. Why the hell are you claiming a whole ass continent for yourself??
