I can’t right now :(

I’ve been sick for over a week and am at the sinus-y, asthma-ridden end of it.

Let me come back to this thread next week when I have my health back.

This looks like Sabrina’s house

I don’t have a preference, but the rest of my family has very strong preferences. My mom was convinced for the longest time that I was eating with the “wrong” one (I can’t remember what the “right” one is for her), so she’d always get me the “wrong” one, which is also what my sister likes. I just went along because I genuinely don’t care. Then my mom got very upset one day when I was using the “right” one, cause she was insistent that I always liked the other one. Nah, I just like cake.

Still a tuxedo cat I think, but more specifically maybe a Sylvester cat. She escaped the SPCA pickup of her litter and my partner’s parents nabbed her a little while later. She is a sweet traumatized little angel.

Had to do a double take cause they look so much like mine. (Also a chair thief)

So I’m not American but I do identify as Mexican-Canadian. I am an immigrant so for me that is a very important distinction.

In my perspective though, I wouldn’t ever want to make fun of someone for identifying as whatever. However, there is something about the cultural aspect of it that bothers me. If you are many generations in and have, for all intents and purposes, lost your connection with the hyphenated part of your culture, and don’t have any intent to learn with or contect with that culture other than by name, it does feel a bit preformative. If someone is actively reconnecting with their culture and trying to learn/understand more about their heritage, then it’s fine IMO, otherwise it seems disrespectful/appropriative. You can just as easily say “my ancestry is _____”, without claiming it as your culture.

Girl ginger, she is special and deserves everything and more
