When people talk to me in Spanish because I’m Mexican and totally should be able to speak Spanish because my whole family does but I can’t….Ughhh so ashamed. Oh and I took 5 years of Spanish classes too, what’s wrong with me!
This :(!!!
I hate the looks too, and the embarrassing questions people ask. Might as well keep handouts to pass to...

“All across the nation, there are mainstream Republicans lamenting how the party...”
– David Brooks (via azspot)
Or, more cynically, they were using it to gain popularity, as a lion-tamer uses the lion, and hopes that in the end, he is stronger enough to get out of the cage.

MY FEELINGS
THEY ARE
LEAKING
Sigh. I’m apparently going to have to go see this movie for Jeremy Renner’s arms. I DON’T WANT TO, but it seems I have no choice.

I hate the portrayal of the U.S. immigration...
I’m watching last week’s House and there are SO many inaccuracies. There’s no point in detailing them, but in my experience:
DHS does not do house visits
The interview only comes at the green card stage: there’s a legal permanent resident stage before that
The process before you get to the interview part is about 4 years, if you’re lucky,
They do more...
So, I have a question
I have three Tumblr blogs under this same account. I follow people through needtherapy, but I want the other two to be able to follow people too. Is there a way to do that that I just can’t figure out?
Wait...did I understand the Moment of Zen right?
Are college girls sticking alcohol-soaked tampons in their hoo-hahs to get drunk faster?
What the hell?
“HEY, EVERYBODY: You know how Mormons “baptize” dead people who...”
– Savage Love by Dan Savage - The Stranger, Seattle’s Only Newspaper
This is one of my least favorite things about Mormonism. I mostly believe live-and-let-live, but since they don’t seem to, feel free to visit www.AllDeadMormonsAreNowGay.com and convert a dead Mormon to gayness.
Dear Arkansas,
I don’t know how to tell you this, but you smell bad. Like rotten cabbage. Is there something we can do about that?
Sincerely,

Today I’m Dreaming Of… Jordan
While Shaw Mom and Kiki are galavanting in Texas, I’ve been applying for work permits and filling out security forms so that I can excavate again this summer. Here are a few things about Jordan I’ve been missing.
Staring out over Amman at night.
Digging in the blistering heat…

Along the way, I believe we were on Highway 30 in Arkansas, I spotted something significant in the road ahead. At 80 miles per hour (a smidge over the speed limit) I had to make a split second decision. Moving into the right hand lane was out of the question, moving left was also out of the question, so I had to deal with it in my lane. I slammed on the brakes as hard as...

This is seriously fucked up. It’s bad enough that the United States won’t join any international treaties combating violence against women, now the Republicans are going to try to scuttle VAWA? Assholes.
Facebook won't let me switch to Timeline
Or, at least, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to make the switch. It hates me. Luckily, the feeling is mutual.
ARGH! TELL ME HOW TO SWITCH!
Other grownups like Phinneas and Ferb too? My life...
Thank you, FLOTUS, for this illumination.

Things to add to the already extensive hate list
Valentine’s Day cards.
They are expensive and cliche. And is it TOO much to ask that occasionally, the cartoon people making the not-so-hilarious cliched jokes be brown? I know it seems stupid, but it irritates me that I can’t give my brown husband a nice card that has a brown person on it instead of some blonde guy.
I don't understand the "don't reblog " requests...
I kind of thought half the point of Tumblr was to reblog stuff that you liked on your dashboard. If you don’t want something reblogged, don’t you keep it to yourself? Is there an inside joke I’m missing?
