Found this heretofore-unknown-to-me portrait of Manuel Mier y Terán this summer in an archeology thesis about the fortress of Cerro Colorado:

Just look at that face. Rosains can eat a Tide pod. The Congress at Tehuacán had it coming. Manuel My Belle did nothing wrong.

—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico? Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico. —To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery. —Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento. —Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

Plant of the Day

Thursday 30 January 2025

Creating movement in the slightest breeze and bringing soft lines to a dry border is Stipa tenuissima (Mexican feather grass, Texas needle grass, Nassella). The repeat planting or editing of self-sown plants adds to the effect. The old fine leaves are best cut back in early spring.

tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if Florida straight up refuses to speak Spanish with the Southwest. Unlike Puerto Rico he is NOT willing to learn, they speak Spanish WRONG and he will not change that opinion. Texas and California having a conversation in Spanish before a meeting and Florida is sitting two feet away looking like he’s in physical pain.

in fairness. The southwest probably act the same way when they hear Florida & Puerto Rico have conversations in Spanish. Mouthing “what the fuck” to each other while Flo and PR are minding their business.

I just watched red white and royal blue and I find it highly unrealistic that they never had Alex's brown mexican ass ragging on british cuisine like not even ONCE

Astyanax mexicanus (Mexican tetra), one of my model species :]

Because I already did the eyeless variety, I'll do the normal form here!

it is so very telling that a certain group of people on here think lfjr is somehow the best thing that happened to the show in terms of queer rep. so let me make this clear one more time: since season ONE we've had a canon married lesbian couple that consists of two black women one of which is a firefighter the other a fucking rocket scientist. we've had a black gay man who was married to athena come out as gay and working through that WITH athena, we've had a gay man at dispatch for years who is actually important to the plot outside of him being gay and we've had a man in his 30s discover he's been bisexual all this time (here you can also add that the entire audience has been seeing it for YEARS). so tell me again how the man who, from the moment he was back on screen wasn't anything more than a plot device, is somehow revolutionary queer rep. that man is a fucking joke and lfjr actively contributed to fooling you guys into believing he was anything more than that. he knew they wouldn't last and he still charged you 200$ to lie to your face about it.

so no. that man isn't revolutionary queer rep, he didn't put any thought worth mentioning into this ship and also while we're at it: lfjr is a terrible person who voted for trump and recently starred in weird qanon christian conservative movie. so do NOT even get me started on that.
