If you choose one of the "other" options please let me know what it is, I would love to hear all about your local beasties

Websites referring to letters on alphabets and languages other than English (ç, ì, ü, etc.) as "special characters" and stopping us from using it on our names is cultural colonialism I think

I doubt anyone seeing my posts is southern brazilian but it's worth a shot:

1) Stay inside. Even if your city is okay, there's more rain coming, and you could end up stuck somewhere with nowhere else to go. Only leave for necessary things or if you need to evacuate.

2) If you need to evacuate and have pets, get dogs and cats on a leash or a travel box. You can also carry cats on large boxes or pillow cases to be safe. Small pets, try to carry with you, preferably in a proper box so you don't risk them escaping somehow. If you have farm animals, don't lock them in anywhere, open all doors and let them loose, they have a better chance of surviving this way.

3) Again, if you need to evacuate, worry only about getting your documents and medicine. If your area might be asked to evacuate next, already get those things in a bag close to your door for if you need to leave in a hurry. But only worry about the essentials.

4) Get a radio. Yes, the small ones that are battery powered. Yes, those. No matter where you are, there are huge risks of power blackouts and you might not have access to the TV or your phone. The radio is how you'll have access to the news if shit happens.

And most importantly: stay safe and keep watching the news!

whenever something good happens in this godforsaken country, or any other country in latam, there is always some dipshit saying something about how shamefull it is that the US is losing at progressiveness. I swear to god, people in the global north are so fucking condescendent. You people have not let go of the enlightenment's ideas of progress, as if everyone else is a buch of backwater people taht cannot possibly have complex thoughts about their lives and society.

Argentina has some of the best trans policies in the world, transfeminicide is typified in its law. Transfeminicide is also now typified in Mexico city's law, after the hard efforts of trans women who fought to get this done. The US and many countries in Europe don't even have feminicide typified, which Mexico and many otehr coutnries in Latam ahve had for years. People here organize and figth for their rights despite having to go against the goverment, the police, organized crime and the influence of the global north that actively works to stop progress in the global south for its own interests, often getting killed for it. Did you know Mexico is considered the most dangerous place to be a journalist? And yet people don't stop.

I have sat at meetings with different feminist organizations across Latin America and they are have very profound things to say about these topics in the context of living in wars, under imperialism, with a fragmented identity due to colonization, etc. There is very rich literature on all kinds of social problems that you guys don't know about because it's written in a language you don't speak and your academies have long looked down on. We don't have to learn from you or follow your example, we don't need you.

franco almost missed out on the rest of the weekend cause he accidentally cut his ear while training his neck, they wanted to stitch his ear 5 minutes before fp1 and he was like “are you crazy?” so he ran fp1 and then bc of his crash he had to go the medical center and when he took out his balaclava he had so much blood the doctors were like “noo! unsafe to drive” and then he had to explain to them what happened so they’d let him drive after that 😭

Every once in a while I stumble across someone going "This character does not look latino!" And I just

Describe a latin american person, OP. What do we all look like, OP? Say it, OP. Say what you want to say, OP. What is it you want to say, OP? What do all latin americans look like, OP?

if you're not latine/from latam just reblog silently :]

here's a second poll if you cant find your nationality here

[manualamadrugada]

Ok, saying this because it seems some of you desperately need to hear it.

Neither Latino nor Hispanic are races or ethnicities. Someone from Spain and someone from Peru won't have the same ethnic background. Hell, two people from Peru may not even have the same ethnic background! Being Hispanic means you speak Spanish, nothing else. And latinoamerica is a region (and an incredibly diverse one too), not a race.

Some of you just label anything that isn't Usamerican an ethnicity because you see the US as the default.
