Just Be(LIE)ve

That’s pride alright lmfao

“When I was growing up, my parents spoke to each other in Spanish, but they didn’t speak to us in Spanish because they were told not to. In school we weren’t allowed to speak it.”

and also???

“… But America is the only country that promotes monolingualism. Here it’s English, English, English. Every other country makes their children learn a second language very early on. So as my political and social activism grew, I was like, ‘I really need to learn Spanish.’ So I did.“ 

idk how many people i’ve known growing up in texas whose parents speak fluent spanish but they don’t speak a lick solely because their parents were afraid or told not to teach their children. it’s unspeakably common and doesn’t in any way shape or form diminish someone’s claim to or pride in their heritage. 

wait for it…

LOOK WHAT WE FOUND AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW 🌈🌈🌈

Since starting with our collapsible straws, we have had numerous requests for metal straws, bigger straws and different colours. We took all 3 requests into account and created our very own Rainbow Stainless Steel Straw Set. 

Stainless steel rainbow plated drinking straws are the perfect alternative to plastic straws! These eco-friendly reusable straws not only reduce your plastic footprint, but you get to drink from a shiny rainbow. You can use these stainless steel beauties time and time again.

Our set comes with 1 Standard Straw, 1 Large Straw for Bubble Tea & Smoothies, 1 Bent Straw, a cleaning brush and super cute carrying case! (Also available in Black, Rose Gold & Silver).

Steve just got told by himself that Bucky is still alive, then got his ass kicked, again, by himself.

A large group of startled Hydra agents now think that Steve is one of them.

I didn’t know the kid that well and I didn’t have any classes with him so I never really talked to him that much. I knew his name. His name was Kevin. Sometimes I’d see him at parties on the weekends. He still had his baby bottle. He would fill it with beer and rum.

He dated my sister’s friend, Emily, for a little while. I had known Emily for a long time. She had been a friend of my sister’s since they were five or six. They were really good friends. She spent a lot of time at our house for sleepovers and stuff. Sometimes she would pee the bed, but I never made fun of her for it. I think most older brothers would have loved the opportunity to make fun of their sister’s friend for peeing the bed and I think she really appreciated that I never mentioned it even though I definitely knew about it because after the sixth or seventh time, my parents started paying me to clean everything up instead of having to do it themselves.

I asked Emily why Kevin only ever drank out of a baby bottle and she said that she didn’t know. They had only been dating for a very short time at that point and she didn’t want to bring it up and offend him or anything. I asked her to tell me if she ever found out. They broke up right after that and I kind of forgot about it because Kevin stopped going to school. I don’t know if he transferred or dropped out, but I never saw him at lunch or any parties after that.

I hadn’t thought about him in a long time, but Emily happened to mention him while she was over at our house recently and I immediately remembered the baby bottle thing.

“Did you ever find out why he drank out of that bottle?” I asked.

Your writing seems boring and predictable because
