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

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.

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..
