Will I ever be over Swan Queen? Probably not.

finger guns

thumbs up

peace signs

salutes

some reasons why:

main character is a single veteran cuban mother who deals with ptsd, depression and anxiety

it has mental health awareness!! in this new season we can see penelope (main character) being more open about her mental ilnesses

lgbt+ representation !! and it’s positive !!!

it deals with alcohol addiction too

it talks about feminism, politics and the importance of voting, racism, religion, white-passing, deportation and a bunch of other really important stuff

RITA MORENO

it’s a show about a cuban family, and all the actors and actresses who portray latinx characters ARE actually latinx, meaning no white washing !!!!

the four horsemen of the glass apocalypse

Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.

This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.

Bonus: 

Living in Storybrooke, I’ve got my son, and my parents, and I love them but they can’t always understand me. They don’t know what it feels like to be rejected and misunderstood. Not the way I do. Not the way you do. And somehow that makes us… I don’t know, unique. Or maybe even special. I wasn’t looking for you to assuage my guilt. I was just looking for you to be my friend.
