[howstrangethemusicsoundstome]

All those socially regressive Latino dudes in Internet comments on any article related to issues specific to Latinas, queer Latinx, etc. seem bent on proving the the world that it's not just white guys who are shitty and reactionary *sad LOL*

sometimes I forget about how unique the Chicana experience is. We really are in between two countries and two identities, especially for someone who’s a multi-generational Chicana growing up in a border city. Either way, I cherish being Latina and I have such a rich culture that I am continuing to learn about every day even if it wasn’t part of my life from the beginning. I love being able to play in mariachi and connect myself to my roots and origins ♥

A little piece of my mind.

Unapologetic-

(hiding)

My curves may be too much, my skin isn’t baby soft, nor am I acne free. I have stretch marks, my hips may be a bit too wide, I have surgical scars, I have a disfigurement, my teeth aren’t pearly white, I’m not toned, I don’t have a flat stomach, but who fucking cares. I am more than what I appear to be and I can guarantee you that I have so much more to offer than just my body. I am human. I have flaws, but I also have so many qualities that make up for my flaws. I have character, thoughts, opinions, talents, passions, and many other qualities that surpass my imperfect image. So stop defining me by my appearance. I don’t care if I don’t appeal to your standards. Enough of all this body shaming, let a woman live and embrace herself for all that she is; with flaws and all.

Happy Cinco De Mayo

I hate you all who are wearing sombreros and ponchos. Especially if you're white.
