We Puerto Ricans have ancestry that is Spaniard, Taino, and African (some French, Portuguese, and Arabic) and the one least spoken of is the African one.
Let's start screaming that shit loud and proud, yo!
Our music, food, religions, and even our sense of style comes very strongly from the Africans who came to Puerto Rico, some as slaves, some as free people looking for a good life.
We owe the peoples of Africa who made their way there a deep debt of gratitude.
To my fellow Liberals and to those of you who call yourselves Progressives.
Why is it okay to protect thieves and other criminals from legal action? Why do Progressives, in particular, seem to feel it is okay to put in place laws that allow shoplifting, purse snatching, etc.?
Am I the only one who thinks this is very misguided?
Shouldn't the law-abiding citizens of any state feel safe and that their government will catch and prosecute those who would prey on them?
I never thought I’d be old
I never thought I’d feel the weight of years like this
I never imagined the looks I get
I never dreamed my body would betray me
Or that the dreams I had as a youth would become a mourner’s dirge
I never knew time was so precious
Or that its march was unstoppable
I only dreamed of good times and secrets pleasures
Of explorations of flesh and mind
But instead I’ve been met by this thing called age
And the constant reminders of what I could have been
I didn’t think my time would run out, or that I could feel it doing so
And that regret would be my companion in this late phase of life
I think on it now when I am middle aged
And cannot imagine what I will think in 20 years’ time
We don't all mature at the same rate psychologically. If the person you're with seems immature to you, leave and find someone who is at the same maturity level as you. You will be doing neither one of you any favors by trying to force them to mature to your level. In fact, you may be damaging them psychologically just to meet your standards, and wouldn't that be the ultimate in selfish?

If you're kind of worn out on the evangelical Christian thing, consider #Paganism.
Yes, you could still pray to Jesus as a Pagan, that's actually part of the point, that you, not some Pope or Pastor decides your faith.
Also, a lot of you seem to already believe in a lot of things that man Pagans believe, you just discount it because your Pastor would not approve.
Today I heard two closet gays talking about how bad Harris/Walz are for America.
I was so tempted to out them both in front of everyone.
Pay attention to what your Emperor is saying, but also to what all of his Congressional sycophants are saying. They will jail people like you. Like me. Like so many others whose only crime is not being the same as they are.
I’m a little gay, a little pagan, a little Puerto Rican, a little multi-lingual, and all human! Verified by my Mom.
