@katelinthicum @LaListaPodcast Lot of people in the comments are missing the facts that USC’s are moving to places that are cheaper than the US, therefor gentrifying and raising prices for the locals. When this happens in mass, locals can’t keep up and are pushed out. Silicon Valley is a prime example.

Since I haven’t worked most of the year (strike) I’m in the worst financial debt of my life. It’s daunting, overwhelming. I’m trapped. I’ve interviewed for jobs, no dice. Applied for aid, but those wells have dried up. I am asking the universe for a win. A life changing win. 🙏🏽

Jamie Lee Curtis assumed Ana de Armas was “unsophisticated” because she’s a young latina immigrant. It’s this type of attitude/thinking that leads to Hispanic women being the most underpaid demographic in the US.

Just got out of union meeting and the general takeaway is look for jobs outside of the union (JUST IN CASE) because we’re in an unstable time. Possible WGA strike, streamer wars, studios cutting corners. SO I’m gonna shuffle some tarot cards & ask the ancestors wtf do I pivot to.

Y’all hate Mexicans so much for no good reason. Aside from the fact that it looks FUN, we are also allowed to have stories just for pure entertainment. Holding our stories to higher standards is *checks notes*…. a form of oppression.

@leahfrombklyn This is a debate in our communities and let me tell you - it’s tiring. The debate is the “x” is pronounced in English which doesn’t make sense for the Spanish language. I personally think this is just a lame excuse to build inclusivity into our lexicon. An alternative is Latines.

Latinx is not a slur. If you don’t like how it doesn’t blend into the Spanish language, then use Latine. The point is to have a word that is gender inclusive. Gender inclusion≠slur. Can we move on and discuss something productive?
