Have y'all seen tacos al pastor? In some places in México they come not only with hot sauce, but also with lemon, onion, and pineapple. All of which evolved to be disgusting/"poisonous" for humans

But nope... us Mexicans need strong flavors to make us feel something

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Same happens in my country. Hundreds of people disappear every month and the government isn't doing enough and never has.

Many of the most famous stories of solved disappearances are the ones that got the most media attention. And when any case is mediatic, suddenly the case has big advances.

It's still so sad that for anything to get done, you have to spend a lot of money or get attention from the news.

And even sadder it is that being a journalist in México is one of the most dangerous careers there are because of the prosecution and assassinations of journalists.

Y hay muchos artículos en español

Recomiendo leer este que habla de lxs activistas y un poco de contexto de las constantes amenazas contra Ociel Baena

Today, Aguascalientes Magistrate, Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo, and their partner, Dorian Daniel Nieves Herrera, were found dead. Ociel was the first non-binary Magistrate in México and Latin America

We know it wasn't just a typical crime against politicians. They were also continually targeted and harassed for their identity and advocacy for lgbtqia+ rights

Ociel Baena was murdered

We already know this won't get enough attention in our media and that the killer(s) won't be prosecuted. There will be no justice

But, please, get to know their story

There is almost only spanish content, but there is a really good article about Baena in english in Mexico News Daily

i love when words fit right. seize was always supposed to be that word, and so was jester. tuesday isn't quite right but thursday should be thursday, that's a good word for it. daisy has the perfect shape to it, almost like you're laughing when you say it; and tulip is correct most of the time. while keynote is fun to say, it's super wrong - i think they have to change the label for that one. but fox is spot-on.

most words are just, like, good enough, even if what they are describing is lovely. the night sky is a fine term for it but it isn't perfect the way november is the correct term for that month.

it's not just in english because in spanish the phrase eso si que es is correct, it should be that. sometimes other languages are also better than the english words, like how blue is sloped too far downwards but azul is perfect and hangs in the air like glitter. while butterfly is sweet, i think probably papillion is more correct, although for some butterflies féileacán is much better. year is fine but bliain is better. sometimes multiple languages got it right though, like how jueves and Πέμπτη are also the right names for thursday. maybe we as a species are just really good at naming thursdays.

and if we were really bored and had a moment and a picnic to split we could all sit down for a moment and sort out all the words that exist and find all the perfect words in every language. i would show you that while i like the word tree (it makes you smile to say it), i think arbor is correct. you could teach me from your language what words fit the right way, and that would be very exciting (exciting is not correct, it's just fine).

i think probably this is what was happening at the tower of babel, before the languages all got shifted across the world and smudged by the hand of god. by the way, hand isn't quite right, but i do like that the word god is only 3 letters, and that it is shaped like it is reflecting into itself, and that it kind of makes your mouth move into an echoing chapel when you cluck it. but the word god could also fit really well with a coathanger, and i can't explain that. i think donut has (weirdly) the same shape as a toothbrush, but we really got bagel right and i am really grateful for that.

grateful is close, but not like thunder. hopefully one day i am going to figure out how to shape the way i love my friends into a little ceramic (ceramic is very good, almost perfect) pot and when they hold it they can feel the weight of my care for them. they can put a plant in there. maybe a daisy.

Dude es como el wey en México

Depende de dónde seas es qué tan masculinizado es el "wey". Hay gente que no le gusta que le digan así y gente q ama ser "wey"...

Pero, a veces, puede ser sinónimo de estúpido si dices "estás bien wey". Y puede ser con una connotación afectuosa o grosera, dependiendo el contexto

Reblog if you have used dude as a non gender specific term.

What are you talking about? El queso Oaxaca (Quesillo) es el mejor de todos

Happy National String Cheese Day

What does string cheese have to do with tumblr? Would it surprise you to hear that over 93.8% of users use their tumblr accounts to talk about cheese? Don't fact check me, I made that up.

But seriously, I need to know what is your favorite type of string cheese. The winner of this poll will be turned into a piece of tumblr merch that will exist forever (or until the robot uprising) so vote wisely.
