@wmQues @GlibGirl @SLewisEnglish @hagan_laura @tressiemcphd I’m a Cali Chicana & I have always known this. Also, no hats on the bed.

@lindaholmes It’s wonderful. And it’s making me happy!

@_kickaha @jessliotta @chick_in_kiev I’m almost sure there were maple bars at Hunt’s Quality Donuts, open 25 hours a day, at Mission & 20th in SF in the late ‘80’s & ‘90s.

@PennyRed @chick_in_kiev The game musta been halted because of trying to play that deuce-six in whatever version of bones is going in here...

@ghweldon My pitty - sea water, both ends!

@JanetMaslin @MrJoshCharles Of course I thought I was the only one who had a certain relationship w/ this album. Because the time it harkens I felt so alone. The Late Show can still make me weep even though my life is so beautiful now.

@mcleantessa In the Mission. Loved it! Would now have one of the tank sinks added. We kept baby wipes & main bathroom w/ sink was just across the hall.

@captanne @TheWuziMu @CadenToMyHazel @texaninnyc Thank you.

[Belma Gonzalez @BelmaGonzalez4]

@TheWuziMu @captanne @CadenToMyHazel @texaninnyc Stating that these two women are “easily the two most beautiful women the world of film has ever known” is not an opinion, it’s a declaration - and I say no to the declaration and respect if it’s only an opinion.

[Belma Gonzalez @BelmaGonzalez4]

@TheWuziMu @captanne @CadenToMyHazel @texaninnyc Just no

[Belma Gonzalez @BelmaGonzalez4]

@captanne @CadenToMyHazel @texaninnyc No.

[Belma Gonzalez @BelmaGonzalez4]

@texaninnyc These two - dang!

[Belma Gonzalez @BelmaGonzalez4]

@girlgeeks @melissaburtonRD @texaninnyc Want to hit the “Like” several dozen times!

@jordonaut Born & raised Cali girl who of course believes she’s kind & nice (well, try to be). Here’s the thing-LOTS of folks in CA are NOT from here. Most are East Coast transplants. Just sayin’

@JaehJee @EECraig @QuinceMountain At my husband’s funeral, a musician friend was about to play. He looked out at everyone in the chapel & said, in his best rock concert voice,”How’s everyone doin’ out there?” It would of cracked up my husband as much as it did me (still does).

@xGrump @LesLeigh_J @cvlmd @BreeNewsome This is a lot. Kids shouldn’t be valued for how they look. (No one should.) And telling biracial girls they’re beautiful is exoticizing (is that a word)? I’d encourage you to seek out readings to learn more about all this. Good that you want to learn & I can’t be your teacher

@xGrump @clumpedlashes @LesLeigh_J @cvlmd @BreeNewsome ... I deserved it, they weren’t racist, etc. We were all taught white supremacy norms & getting “ahead” was taught to me by parents trying to get out of poverty. Who’s allowed to get ahead is 1 of the issues. I was, more than others who were darker. 2/

@xGrump @clumpedlashes @LesLeigh_J @cvlmd @BreeNewsome I don’t have a definitive reply. But I’ll share as light skinned Latina (w/ darker skinned cousins, coworkers, friends) I’ve been accepted more easily into classrooms, work projects, promotions. Sometimes I caught it, sometimes I was caught up in it by wanting to believe 1/
