Today was such a good day! I went to college to have class and FINALLY had a meeting with my new advisor and I’m going to do my conclusion work about brazilian tornadoes! I’m so happy!
After I went back to my city (my college is in another town near mine) and studied a little at a coffee shop drinking this delicious chai latte in the pic! Then I decided to walk around downtown a little cuz I saw a bookstore close to the coffee and wanted to try to find some books for my study. Unfortunately, the Geography section in all of them was soooo small and didn’t have any climatology books. But I found two hidden jewels: a lovely leftist bookstore called Leonardo da Vinci, founded in 1954; and this secondhand bookstore called Berinjela (Eggplant in portuguese. Don’t ask me, dunno why LOL). Inside the secondhand one, I found a section of books in english and I found this edition of Picture of Dorian Grey! I almost cried when the bookseller said the price: only 10 reais (usually a portuguese book in brazil is up to 50 reais and imported books can be up to 100 reais). It’s my first physical book in english and I can’t wait to read it!
| Tasks of the day

Meeting with advisor

Bienvenidos al torneo de literatura clásica latinoamericana
This bracket was mainly inspired by @classiclitbracket and people in @latinotiktok talking about the potential of a Latin American lit bracket.
Feel free to make your submissions/talk to me in English, Spanish or French. I unfortunately cannot speak Portuguese but I understand a fair amount of written Portuguese (as is usual with people who know Spanish), so, while not preferred, that is also an option.
I have not decided when I will close submissions yet but the pinned post will be there until I do. Have fun!

Along the way we have even lost the right to call ourselves Americans, although the Haitians and the Cubans appeared in history as new people a century before the Mayflower pilgrims settled on the Plymouth coast. For the world today, America is just the United States; the region we inhabit is a sub-America, a second-class America of nebulous identity.
— Eduardo Galeano, Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.

Latino Dabi is too powerful to even imagine.
The level of insults. The chaotic music taste. He would dance reguetón al day and all night to make Enji mad. Baby slut dancing to make his dad mad but no one can touch them or he'd burn them. No it is not an invitation to dance with him, now you get insulted until you can feel your ears and can't feel your hand from the burn.
The clothes, the cynic reference to the state of Latam when it comes to politics, the afternoons of watching telenovelas and crying when the son of the main family dies or gets kidnapped or lost of whatever.
The crazy food, the superstition.
Latino Dabi supremacy.

Because I, a mestiza, continually walk out of one culture and into another, because I am in all cultures at the same time, alma entre dos mundos, tres, cuatro, me zumba la cabeza con lo contradictorio, Estoy norteada por todas las voces que me hablan simultaneamente
— Gloria Anzaldúa, "La conciencia de la mestiza: Towards a new consciousness."

I upclycled the jacket myself and I love how it came out.
I had been planning this outfits for weeks and it felt amazing finally wearing it, got a couple of compliments too, I really love when pink girls say I look cool while I'm in this sort of alternative style, I think it's so sweet (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
