Latinos have many skin tones. Colorism means they’re treated differently. Differences in appearance can affect how Hispanics are treated in the United States, even by other Latinos.

While Latinos in the U.S. are often described simply as “brown,” that term does not capture the spectrum of skin tones.

These differences in appearance can affect how Hispanics are treated, even by other Latinos.

Finally got around to reading The Bright Sword by @levgrossman.com. I will be thinking about this book for a long time! 🐑💙

Thanks @jowrotethis.bsky.social and @ringerverse.bsky.social for the recommendation!

The tennis coverage by @tntsportsus.bsky.social has been a breath of fresh air! Please take over all the majors!

Andor Season 2 Episode 8… just absolutely gut wrenching. Tony Gilroy is a genius.

#Andor #StarWars

Love the coverage of @espn.com for the NCAA beach volleyball national championship! Kinda wish they covered this sport more during the regular season as well. #Espn2 #NCAABeachVB

Currently watching The West Wing for the first time. I was in 8th grade when it first came out so I can see where I wasn’t too interested at the time. 3 episodes in and I’m hooked.

My favorite day on social media!

If you’ve never read anything written by @sheaserrano.bsky.social you are missing out. This will easily be my favorite thing to read on a Friday!

I love the phrase, “Have the day you voted for.” It’s almost like the thinly veiled southern insult “Bless your heart.”

Tuesdays are slowly becoming my favorite day of the week. No particular reason.

The @sheaserrano.bsky.social email today hit at the right time! 🥹 Always willing to support his projects since he goes out and helps others!

Turned 40 today. Not sure what I’m suppose to feel, but as my grandma told me a long time ago, “It is a blessing to age, not everyone gets that opportunity.” (Both her parents and her brother passed away before they were 36).

Back on the grind tomorrow

What’s everyone watching tomorrow? I’m thinking it will be a good day to watch @tcmtv.bsky.social

I love The Good Place. They also had a weekly podcast that would go behind the scenes of each episode. Michael Schur is amazing!

Feeling that existential dread of turning 40 next week.

Thursday Thoughts: Youth sports are a luxury now rather than a priority. Part of this is because of the push to “earn” scholarships for college. How do we get back to playing sports for fun?

Starting up Squid Games Season 2. Honestly I have pretty low expectations. Season 1 was practically perfect so not sure it can get better.

I’m still deciding… any suggestions?

New Year’s Day is the best! I think it’s the hope 🥳

One of the best reasons to see a film at the theater is there is an unspoken rule that everyone stays engaged in that world for the duration of the film. Also one of the most infuriating things is when people break that unspoken rule.

The plot of Hot Frosty is the definition of pretty privilege. People will definitely overlook some stuff if you’re hot 😂⛄️

Gotta wait until tomorrow 💚🩷

A hill I will die on: All mugs should be 14 ounces or more.

Still not quite sure how to navigate BlueSky. One day I’ll figure it out. As for today I hope y’all have a day worth writing about in a good way.

Summer is over in Florida when it becomes hurricane prep season.

First post on BlueSky thought I should include my pup and plants like any good millennial 🩵
