its been insane witnessing the full force of propaganda and american imperialism with my own two eyes as an adult these past few years. obviously ive known abt it plenty and seen it before, but witnessing it at this age with this much force is... dystopian and crazy
#i rly think its accurate to say were living through a second post nine eleven#.........#whats been terrifying too is seeing how.... the things done have only done so much#protests All Over the world including the imperial core So Many cracked down on so hard or seemingly without doing fuck all at#a systemic level. like i couldn't tell u if me or anyone else spending hours calling representatives and writing emails did a single thint#if all the protests in america did anything systemically. the government is doing the same exact shit its been doing despite it#all the un resolutions and calls and anything seem to also have been useless. no matter how many countries voted for a ceasefire in#whichever meeting?? just bc america and israel voted against and bc the un is clearly the lapdog on a leash of the american empire#... i know bolivia and colombia (?) cut diplomatic ties with israel and yamen threathened to declare war and several countries have#threathened several things... and yet.#god sake america has send fucking navy and soldiers to help in the genocide its fucking vile 🤢#and israel (+ us) have fucking bombed and killed civilians in other Fucking Countries Than Palestine and this shit is still going on#.... . i guess were seeing some of the effects of boycotting which is good for sure but that dont stop the actual thing#its just so fucked. our generation has caught a lot of wild shit but i dont know if ive ever seen such great international outcry globally#from populations as i have seen for palestine#AND YET. and yet it continues. and yet it goes on#its fucking horrifying#..... i was thinking too like. in a theoretical scenario lets say everyone in america could get on board with refusing to pay taxes. like#just fuck it. no more funding of this.#but the american government has so much money and power that it wouldnt rly stop them for at least a good while. also. i doubt they wouldn't#commit atrocities on a population that would refuse that hard. and what then? revolution in the streets? in the country made up of 51#countries? where sure the civilians have guns but the government has shit we cant even dream of?#.#all of this is so deeply dystopian and pained#and im not saying this in some sort of nothing matters so dont do anything way dont speak abt it dont call dont protest dont boycott etc#even when there is 0 hope we have to try#............ but its deeply horrifying

who decided Colombia was Venezuela's older sibling?
Venezuela was born in 1500 and Colombia in 1509/1550 both under Spanish rule.
And if it's because of Gran Colombia Venezuela still gained independence before (and immediately lost it xd which is why we joined Gran Colombia) so?-

They should have Spanish classes in college that are for people who just need to complete their degree requirements and for people who want to actually learn the damn language without taking a minor in it. At the End of Spanish 4 in college, my professor was like "congrats! You've learned all the verb tenses (even though we sort of rushed through the last four because they're moods). By the way, there's this verb called 'haber' that you've used when you say 'hay' (there is/there are) and it has more of a use in spoken Spanish, but you don't need to know it for the test so we're not going over it."
Smash cut to talking to literally anyone and finding out that it's an INTEGRAL part of the spoken language, because all the things we were wondering how to say using clunky language (things like "I would've gone but it was raining" or "nothing you could have done would have helped" or "she will have graduated by then") USE HABER. I did exceptionally well in every Spanish class and I cannot consider myself bilingual because I talk like a book and book Spanish is very different from spoken Spanish so I'm all but useless unless someone is willing to talk to me like I'm in kindergarten. It's frustrating as fuck. I took Spanish for 7 years because I really wanted to know it and all I can do is read academic papers. I don't actually know how anyone talks. Thanks.

I’ve read two stories of people being found after the Maui fire deceased, holding their pets. I have to avoid the news. I know that as an adult I should keep up with it and know what’s going on but my psyche is taking hit after hit and I just can’t take the heartache anymore. It’s pushing me further down the hole I’m trying to dig myself out of because I’m such an empathetic person. Strangers pain affects me in ways that are detrimental to my mind and heart.
Does that make me irresponsible? Does it make me apathetic? I feel guilty for not reading or watching the news. But the things I see and hear are gut punch after gun punch and I find myself crying and feeling more and more helpless. I want to know what’s going on, I want to know what’s being done. But when I find the actual truth it just breaks something in me.

mulder & scully go to mexico except it’s not aliens or el chupacabra & it doesn’t have that terrible orange hue vibes & it’s not racist. and that thing happens where mulder solves the case but no real solution comes of it and it’s a critique about america’s involvement in the drug war and the ways america itself is ruining mexico

Hi to whoever reads this!
I am in need of help. I desperatily need help.
I’ve been working nonstop for the past three years, I started during covid, from home at a call center. I have student debt that needs to be paid, that’s what I’ve been working for, however, this does not seem to end and I am begging for help. I am from Colombia, a country that does not pay at all and my salary goes from $500 to $600, which is kind of enough to eat but not to have a decent life and pay my student debt. I am kindly asking for anyones help, this is the first time I do this, I don’t really know how this works but if you could donate anything I’d really appreciate it. I cannot use go foundme as it is not available in my country, but I do have a PayPal account. My debt is around 10-15k. If i share my account, could you help or at least share the information? I can procide proof of my debt. Please.

you know. i wouldnt get so privately frustrated everytime i talk with my mum abt me and my brother paying ‘rent’/helping out w food or bills once we both have full time jobs if she at least had the decency to admit she just wants to use the money to pay off her and my dads debts quicker
#x#like. it’s not like i wasn’t planning to help out once i finished uni/got a proper job#i’m not. shameless. regardless of whatever they might think of me. i am in fact aware of the concept of giving back.#but it’s just like the first time it was ever brought up i offhandedly mentioned like. an average of what i thought was a considerate amount#to give. and she was like so obviously appalled? n was like well you know if you were living on ur own you’d be paying 3/4x that right#n suggested double the amount#and i was just like. idk. like no shit it would cost a lot more to live alone#but i’m not doing that am i? i’m staying with YOU. my FAMILY#am i not paying enough with the constant assault on my mental health and well-being by being around my dad here lmao…#did i not spend all my teen years hoping desperately to leave as soon as i could bc i was so miserable#to then find some sort of stability and decide that in this climate itd be better off to stay at home#like. it upsets me bc i’m just trying to think about saving up enough for the smallest hope of a pipe dream of my brother and i buying a#house together in the future. just SOMETHING just for ourselves for a sense of security#and i’ve told this to her like don’t you think me and harry should be saving as much as we can now while we live home…#bc they’re planning to abandon us in a couple years and go back to colombia anyways lmao. so it’s not like we won’t be paying rent ourselves#by the time we’re 25#which will make saving most of our money harder lmao#anyways she was like you’ll still be able to save a lot of ur money now! it’s not like i’m taking all ur money!#and i just feel like she’s missing the point idk. like. AUGH i’ve lost steam of my argument#but like. it’s not like they’re in a dire situation. like up until now when harry paid his first months worth of ‘rent’ they’d been managing#fine … like obviously everything is more expensive and we’re being more careful but like. it’s not some sort of emergency#she just wants us to ‘help out’ to teach us or whatever. and bc it’s right. bc they’re our parents#which. FINE like again i was never opposed to it ever i’m not an idiot or selfish i get it#but once i start working between me and harry we’ll be paying for half the rent. and we ALREADY buy groceries/food in general when we notice#there isn’t any at home#i hate feeling like i’m an awful entitled child for feeling upset abt it but i just feel like she setting us up to struggle just that Little#bit more when she leaves us alone in this country. and i’ve been stressing abt that since i knew that was their plan when i was like 12!#i don’t want her gentle little suggestions of helping out money wise to be couched in fucking. duty or responsibility to them as my parents#just ADMIT IT to me the money is going to go to paying your debts. just say it to me. it doesn’t sting as much that way. my god

In order to remove the mistake, the mother woke Remedios up and carried her into the living room, still drowsy from sleep. They asked her if it was true, that she had decided to get married, and she answered, whimpering, that she only wanted them to let her sleep.

                             Was doing some reading and found an article on “cheapest beach cities to live in” and Tubbs totally spat her drink when Cartagena, Colombia is mentioned as #2. She’s like DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY IT’S DIRT CHEAP? Let’s review the crime rate, shall we?

i’m writing this here because i don’t have anywhere else to project these feelings - i met this colombian guy in church last week and i think i fancy him a bit. do i have any colombian/south american followers? can anyone help dissect these interactions i had with him:
> gave him my name, says it’s such a “unique name”, and that he’ll remember it
> told him i went to [my uni’s] law school and he said “ah, the best uni in the country”
> shook hands with other men, but bowed farewell to me when he left
i feel so fucking woozy right now because i told him i’ll meet him this weekend for church but turns out i’m going away on a family holiday and i feel like i’m about to experience the slowest of burns ever. ah. will i see him next week? will fate allow us to be together? tell me what to do everyone..
