Please Sir, can I have some human rights?

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

People of tumblr, I believe in you. I trust you to make the right choice. I truly believe we can make this a reality. We have the power. We can achieve anything we put our minds to.

"Nobody eats flour tortillas in Mexico!"

Maybe nobody in Jalisco, Michoacan, Oaxaca, Veracruz etc. eats flour tortillas, but my Chihuahuense grandparents ate nothing but flour tortillas and legit never even touched a corn tortilla until my dad married my Jalisciense mom

"Burritos are not authentic Mexican food! In Mexico they're considered gringo food!"

And no, I'm not talking about any of the shit from Taco Bell, Chipotle, or Aqui. Those I do consider to be fake Mexican, not because of where they were founded, but because the founders of those restaurants were fucking gringos who whitewashed my culture's cuisine for profit

I'm talking about dishes like chicken and olive enchiladas. No olives aren't used in Jalisco or Oaxaca or Veracruz etc., but something I've learned while trying to learn about the history of Mexican cuisine in the so-called Western United States is that the use of olives is traditional to Chicano cuisine. We were already using olives (and flour tortillas) in our cuisine before the gringos ever stepped foot here
