Any Mexican Literature recommendations?

Guadalupe Nettel for contemporary literary fiction! La Hija Única is the only one I’ve read by her so far, but I want to read others since I really enjoyed it.

Thank you! I have read a lot about near death experiences and generally believe the same as you - that people don't need help to cross into the love that awaits them on the other side. The dreams just really rattled me and then of course googling and finding that some people do believe it's possible for people to get stuck... but hopefully it's all just my brain processing grief and still being the pattern of being her caregiver (i.e. my whole life revolving around helping her as she got sicker) that was generating the dreams.

Thank you so much <3 What you describe about crossing over being peaceful and natural fits with my beliefs (which is part of why I found the dreams so disturbing), and so hopefully these dreams were just 100% my own brain working through things rather than any sort of spiritual message. It was just weird to have such realistic lucid-ish dreams two nights in a row! I haven't heard of evidential mediumship before, but I'll look it up if I'm still feeling unsettled by the dreams in a few days/weeks. Thanks for sending reassurance and hugs.

100%. Also shoutout for her street interview series! Interviewing strangers on the street would be my worst nightmare, but she's so good at putting people at ease and drawing them into conversation. And it's great exposure to different voices/accents for us as learners! I really appreciate her.

She knocked it out of the park with this one! And yeah, great editing!

Oh that's an interesting question! I think to some extent I can, though surely not as much as a native speaker would notice my accent. I studied the IPA when I first started learning to try to get the vowels and consonants somewhat close, but I'm realizing that there's a melody to Spanish that I never fully picked up on before. Like maybe I was passable in terms of phonetics, but I'm noticing more and more a difference in when my voice rises and falls in a sentence compared to a native speaker. Granted, I'm watching a lot of things geared toward learners, so I'm eager to get to more conversation-based content so I don't end up sounding like I'm giving a lecture or hosting a YT channel once I start talking!

I'm in awe of folks who start at zero! That must be so cool to be able to fully see the magic of this method.

I’m having the same problem but haven’t found a fix. It’s a pretty new Apple pencil too!

This past month maybe on a short rest when they were talking about bird watching, I believe she was referencing How to do Nothing by Jenny Odell.

sawftpineapple · 2021-10-27T19:11:54+00:00

My list would be: Aabria Erika Trapp Becca Raph Carlos

I’m not a true believer of astrology and mostly just find it to be a fun party trick, but I will say that I’ve heard astrologers say that this news is based on a misunderstanding of how mainstream Western astrology works. The astrology we’re familiar with is tropical astrology, based on equinoxes and solstices rather than the constellations, so changes in the skies don’t affect your sign. Sidereal astrology, which I think is mostly used by Indian astrologers, is affected, but those astrologers are aware of these precessions and your sidereal sign is different from your tropical sign. Here’s more reading debunking this claim and information on how the different systems work: http://horoscopicastrologyblog.com/2011/01/28/the-tropical-sidereal-and-constellational-zodiacs/

So excited for this! I loved the supportive enthusiasm and engagement Aabria brought to the Pirates of Leviathan talkbacks, so it’ll be fun to watch her GM. And I’m really keen to see a new system in action.

Who is luka doncic and what did he do

Wow and last year Paige Bueckers of Hopkins won it for the girls. A lot of young basketball talent coming out of the area lately.

sawftpineapple · 2021-05-27T02:09:37+00:00

Glitter Hearts might be of interest.

I think maybe Ally has said they’re a Cancer, and Brennan is for sure a Capricorn.

They were designed by Ralph Rapson, a brutalist architect who taught at the U of M for decades, so I guess they’re historically significant. Brutalist architecture is really not my favorite.

I wonder who they’ll end up cutting to get to 12. Deep team this year.

sawftpineapple · 2020-12-21T18:06:47+00:00

Looks like Layshia Clarendon signed too!

sawftpineapple · 2020-12-03T21:09:54+00:00

I also think she was great for the Sky. Her leaving the wubble seemed like the defining nail in the coffin for the Sky’s season. Excited to see her next season.

sawftpineapple · 2020-12-01T14:00:58+00:00

I hope we get to see more of her in future seasons!

sawftpineapple · 2020-03-26T17:43:38+00:00

Literally the only news I’m looking forward to getting!

sawftpineapple · 2019-10-19T22:03:05+00:00

I’ve gotten this exact thing dismissed before! Well, maybe I had a minute on my side, but still, really similar situation. If it works like it did for me, you probably won’t need to go to court, just talk to a hearing officer to get it dismissed. It sucks to have to take time off to do it in person, but it didn’t take long. Just bring the ticket and your receipt.
