Hi! Welcome to my blog.

I can also be found on bluesky, pixelfed, and wafrn!

Mutuals can dm for my signal or snap

Below are some tags I use!

And also a good amount of what people call "fake" Mexican food is really just Norteño food

"Nobody eats flour tortillas in Mexico!"

Maybe nobody in Jalisco, Michoacan, Oaxaca, Veracruz etc. eats flour tortillas, but my Chihuahuense grandparents ate nothing but flour tortillas and legit never even touched a corn tortilla until my dad married my Jalisciense mom

"Burritos are not authentic Mexican food! In Mexico they're considered gringo food!"

The burrito as we know it today is believed to have most likely originated in either Chihuahua or Sonora, both of which are Northern Mexican states

[skaianbruja]

Quesabirria is from Tijuana. Chimichangas are believed to have originated either in the Southwestern US state of Arizona or the Northern Mexican state of Sonora. Nachos are from Coahuila, and while yes, they were apparently created for gringos, that doesn't erase the fact that they still originated in Northern Mexico

[skaianbruja]

Even many of the dishes that did without a doubt originate in what are now California, the Southwest, or Texas aren't "fake" either

And no, I'm not talking about any of the shit from Taco Bell, Chipotle, or Aqui. Those I do consider to be fake Mexican, not because of where they were founded, but because the founders of those restaurants were fucking gringos who whitewashed my culture's cuisine for profit

I'm talking about dishes like chicken and olive enchiladas. No olives aren't used in Jalisco or Oaxaca or Veracruz etc., but something I've learned while trying to learn about the history of Mexican cuisine in the so-called Western United States is that the use of olives is traditional to Chicano cuisine. We were already using olives (and flour tortillas) in our cuisine before the gringos ever stepped foot here

There's also something to be said about how a lot of times when people talk about "real"/"authentic"/"traditional" Mexican cuisine they're really mostly just referring to the cuisine of the Western, Central, and Southern regions of Mexico (something I myself have been guilty of as someone who grew up on Jalisciense cuisine). Norteño and Chicano cuisine often get excluded

[stupidbeecandle]

So to the folks who know and love real Mexican foods, is it true that olives arent "a Mexican ingredient"?

It seems like it shows up in Mexican foods all along the west and southwest regions of the USA but Ive heard some folks say that olives are some white nonsense

[skaianbruja]

Hi, as someone who grew up on "real Mexican food" (Never mind that my entire post is literally about challenging the idea that Chicano cuisine is "fake" Mexican cuisine), I think I'm at least somewhat qualified to answer your question: No, olives are not used commonly used in Mexican cuisine from Mexico. However, that doesn't mean that olives are gringo bullshit. Again, they are a traditional part of Chicano cuisine

I don't know if you can read Spanish or not, but if you can, I recommend checking out this book (El Cocinero Español):

ECE-1-001

Now while this book was published decades after California became a US state, the recipes in it are ones that Californios would've made and eaten for generations prior to the gringos invading Alta California. There are about 70 recipes in this book that include olives as an ingredient; the very first recipe is one for stuffed olives:

Wow thanks! This is really informative. I teach food classes in therapy and this would be a fun topic at our next group meeting :)

Went outside and saw a bat flying around. Then i saw a toad in the yard. Straight up like a witch’s brew out there . Stay safe

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

Does anyone know what to do when you have no ambition or hustle or grind but also need to make money to live when every career in the world is now a miserable rat race.

[despazito]

Sometimes I'll be looking at bullshit online that I know will just rile me up and I have to think of this image to get myself to stop

[andmaybegayer]

> looking at a new popular collectible

> ask the people if it's objects or gambling

> they don't understand

> pull out illustrated diagram explaining what is objects and what is gambling

> they laugh and say "it's a good collectible sir"

> look up how to buy a collectible

> its gambling

> #wait are labubu's blind bags?!

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.

There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!

You can read more about what dark patterns are and how to spot them here.

Deceptive Patterns (aka Dark Patterns) - spreading awareness since 2010

The original website about deceptive patterns (also known as “dark patterns”) - tricks used in websites and apps that make you do things tha

[ralfmaximus]

That is a fucking awesome site everyone should visit. Don't skip the Hall of Shame.

[dailymanners]

I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I'd cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn't yet.

Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.

“be gay do crime! but sex is yucky and crime is wrong!” ass website

[cheaphalloweencostume]

okay, we managed to get through the “you can be gay and not have sex” part, and im feeling charitable and i wanna talk about the “do crime” part

so many responses of “its nice that you’re privileged enough to be able to steal from Target willy nilly!” and that’s not at all what this is about. like, yeah, shoplifting and loitering and graffiti and breaking the rules is, obviously, part of “do crime”. but they’re not parts you have to do.

would you help someone get an abortion where it was illegal?

would you help a trans friend get healthcare that had been criminalized?

would you shelter someone fleeing persecution, even if the law said not to?

would you help a gay couple stay together when the state decided their relationship was unlawful?

instead, would you report someone else for breaking the law? will you snitch on your hungry neighbors for stealing food? on your homeless neighbors for sleeping where they’re able?

would you break laws to protect someone you love? a community you love? yourself?

Arguing gen AI is useful is like arguing that shitting in your hand is useful because you can sort of make a sculpture out of it. But that sculpture stinks and could be made out of something real and not stink.
