today's mood

I was speaking to my Mom in Spanish at a grocery store. Some guy behind us said, “Learn to speak English. We’re in America.”

I turned around and said, “Fuck You! Is that enough English for you dick?”

He didn’t reply.

A person I know said something earlier this week about the need to "do something about immigrants." I reminded him that a few generations ago, his family were European boat people who faced hostility when they arrived. That shut him off.

Spanish were here way before us and before that, many many tribes of non English speaking Native Americans, multiple languages. Before we came and stole the land. Fuck his MurKKKan lingo, I am certain he doesn’t even speak English properly. Speak Jesus back at the dumb asses.

Less aggressive....

They are ignorant and unknown tempers, I don't want to poke the wrong idiot on the wrong day.

Meanwhile I plan to visit the frying pans, if I ever do go out, first.
Use imagination.....

was what my husband told a guy who moved up too close to us while we were standing in a line. He had no mask of course. Hubby meant, you keep a six foot distance or you can catch the virus.. the guy took it another way I think.. He had the fear of God in his eyes as he backed up.. So I understand this completely.. you just get tired of their crap

I live among the Trumpers, zombies are smarter.

I had one laugh at me for wearing a mask in a small market that doesn't enforce masks. I told him that he was the same people who dug holes in the ground stocked with a barrel of beans and a barrel of water to avoid Armageddon. You take an assault rifle to the grocery store and keep loaded guns in your house because you aren't afraid. All you are doing my friend is whistling past the graveyard, it's ok to be afraid. Things aren't going back to normal for many years, give me a call when you decide you want to wear a mask I have extra.

wondering why I'm suddenly exploding in laughter.
(as an immigrant, and English my second language but unaccented, this sounds like something I can one day ladylike emulate)

that irks me. And usually it's bad or broken or very limited English.

A white guy speaking Spanish, that should do it. This is a great site to learn for free.
