I'm familiar with those words thru poetry. They felt like really intense forms of sadness but I don't have a grasp on the nuance

More context: this lesson was about differentiating between the /e/ and /i/ vowels in Spanish through minimal pairs since the two vowels were considered the same in Tagalog then (as it is now in native words). It contrasted the Spanish words quiso "wanted" and queso "cheese".

No, that’s not the coincidence.
The coincidence is both intersections have a Walgreens! Look closely at the pics: the 1st is from last night in Seattle. the 2nd is from January in SF
So weird!
I should look into whether other rainbow crosswalks in gay neighborhoods lead to a Walgreens 😆
