The heading to this [link] made me smile today.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It's not making me smile.

Anyway, I'm still up in arms about the fact that these forms still use "Hispanic/Latino" as a racial designation. NOT A RACE, PEOPLE!!
We have it as an ethnicity which causes a whole nother problem because the government says Hispanic is white, and some of our Mexican-American clients disagree.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got into an argument (with one of the stealth Chinese instructors) about whether or not her friend could have been from Chile (what she'd said was that he was from Chili's-I just heard wrong). She said no, he was too white.
Sometimes I just shrug and say "you're ALL white to me." But it irritates me when people can't file the same people as Hispanic and white, or Hispanic and black.

shrift, did you already have that photo before I sent it to you?
Hee. Yes, but I always appreciate when you send things, because sometimes I haven't seen them yet. Although it's getting to the point where fandom firecalls me to let me know when something awesome has occurred.
This week has been like CHRISTMAS.

NO! Not thick! They didn't meet in the middle of her (TINY!) forehead. They had a serious arch on 'em.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry, msbelle.

The government is stupid. Race is one thing, ethnicity another.

Man, I need your fandom contacts. I'm usually the top of the phone tree, which means I'm probably missing out on things.
