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.

Latinos have many skin tones. Colorism means they’re treated differently.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.
