Melancholic Moth

a sad, pathetic terrorist state, after being allowed to hold its sad, pathetic "victory day" parade, launches 1567 drones and 56 missiles during 30-hour attack to kill children and innocent people in their sleep, in their homes.

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

But Mexican-american food is "regional cuisine that often began developing in what used to be part of Mexico/Mexican territory and continued to develop after the borders changed."

Some of it isn't "striving to recreate the flavors of home." Sure, maybe like, Mexican food in Chicago is about that. But I'm from Arizona. My family is from Tucson by way of (Tucson being annexed) and then Sonora & Chihuahua. We're not trying to recreate anything — because Tucson is still in the Sonoran desert.

This is a map of the Sonoran desert region:

I've helpfully marked Tucson.

Just to be clear, it takes an hour and 20 minutes nowadays to drive to the Mexican side of Nogales. You could walk the journey in a little over 27 hours. So obviously less than a week on horseback.

What I'm saying here is that the "diaspora" is maybe implying that Mexican-american cuisine largely developed with huge geographical distances or lack of access to Mexican cultivars or something but like.

Here's a map of New Spain in 1819:

Here's a map of the War:

I'm just saying that a lot of Mexican-American food is literally just food and culinary traditions that Mexicans were eating in northern parts of Mexico/New Spain.

It might shock people to learn, but there were Mexicans living in Mexico. And parts of Mexico are now the United States. And those Mexicans, if they stayed, are now Mexican Americans, and our culinary traditions have undergone normal growth and innovations over time. Mexico-mexicans also had normal innovations and growth in their regional cuisines as well! That's just how time and increased access with faster transport works. I have met a lot of people from Mexico who seem to think the second they're in San Diego instead of Tijuana, that the food is no longer authentic Mexican food and...it is baffling to me. It's an invisible line in the sand.

The border is not actually an impenetrable wall. The food doesn't become inauthentic at border patrol checkpoints. Those didn't even exist not that long ago.

how dare you.

you will constantly talk about how race affects you. how america is cruel to poc and the less fortunate. then you turn around, and scream at a survivor of fucking genocide begging you for help. not even asking for any of the hundreds of dollars, you can easily get from your fan base in less than a day. money we know you have because you spent it, on stupid non necessities.

A GENOCIDE SURVIVOR BEGGED YOU FOR HELP AND YOU COULDNT BEAR TO HOLD YOUR ATTITUDE FOR 1 SECONDS. you just had to be a fucking asshole. because you are the number one victim arent you.

all this person wanted, was for you to share their donation post. your lazy ass cant even do that? because it is "clogging your blog" ? you can re blog your own stupid horny furry art, LITERALLY eleven times in a row, but you cant repost one single palestine donation post, because that is clogging your blog. selfish. absolutely disgustingly selfish.

you are so transparently selfabsorbed. i had bile in my throat seeing these messages. a fucking genocide survivor, had to comfort a whining first world furry on the internet , only to be screamed at for asking for help to escape literally being bombed. sorry. dont you know a crying queer furry on the internet, is more important than your life and your familys life.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

"This includes prisoners! They are not suddenly property of the state when they're convicted!" - *a little less cheering*

"And that includes children who are not their parents' property!" - *almost no cheering*

like this is actually such an incredible insight into the terf belief that every interaction has to be morally delineated based on definitions and classes and not actions. the reason cutting down your neighbour's tree is a crime isn't because it's a tree you fucking grenade brain. it's because you destroyed someone else's shit. that's the bad part. who the fuck cares if it's a tree.

they’re attempting to remove access to hormones, to bathrooms, to safety for transfemme prisoners, to any number of other things… and they couch it in terms of categories and classifications and semantic designations. likewise the concern trolling “i think nonbinary identity is regressive” pseudoterfery that’s popped up on tiktok lately.

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.
