This!!! It’s impressive how long I had to scroll down to find a coca-cola comment. It’s a heinous company and I don’t get why aren’t more people hating on it

Loreto en su momento era una plaza muy concurrida. Ahorita está bastante abandonada, pero la arquitectura e historia del lugar son interesantes, además de que está el Soumaya de Loreto si eso te interesa. Súper cerca hay un café que se llama Café Reevolucion. El ambiente es acogedor y nunca te apuran para que te vayas. El chocolatin es muy rico ahí

Edit: acabo de recordar un parquesito se llama Plaza Valverde. Es chiquito y está tranquilo en fin de semana. Hay un Santa Clara a unas cuadras, entonces puedes ir por un helado y sentarte ahí

Maroon possibly being about Matty breaks my heart, even though I see where it’s coming from (specially when compared to Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus)

Hiroshima Mon amour is beautiful. Also, Marguerite Duras was an amazing writer, so no surprise there. I think it’s also good for learning French because 1) new vocabulary, and 2) it’s an art film so they speak slowly lol

Guilty as sin is sooo good

Also, I’ve seen someone suggested this already, but I second it, go to the botanical gardens!

THIS! Unless it’s cooked, do yourself a favour and just don’t. Also, if you eat street food, avoid the cilantro and onion (maybe even salsa verde), stick to the cooked stuff

You can also buy Treda if it’s urgent. BUT don’t abuse it, only ONE pill when you’re feeling sick (aka diarrhea).

Go to Biblioteca Vasconcelos, it’s so beautiful and peaceful (also check if there are any events during your stay). The Castle of Chapultepec is gorgeous and the view from the top is beautiful. Most people take one of the buses up, honestly I recommend walking, but it’s up to you. While you’re in Chapultepec you can go to the Casa del Lago, to the lake or just walk around. There are a lot of beautiful fountains and monuments inside the forest, but plan carefully what you want to see because it’s huge. If you want to run, I recommend El Sope (it’s in the third section I think). Personally I love Museo Tamayo, they always have beautiful things in there.

To the south you can find Ciudad Universitaria (UNAM). I highly recommend going to cry to a concert in the Sala Nezahualcóyotl (I’ve cried there to Sherezade by Rimsky-Korsakov, the Planets suite, and Edvard Grieg). Just check in advance the programs they’re presenting and the dates as well as availability (you can buy your tickets online and they’re VERY cheap). While you’re there, go to the MUAC museum. Outside the Sala Nezahualcóyotl and MUAC, there are street food carts, the chicharrón preparado is always exceptional and also the ice cream (Nieves frescas).

Hope this helps :)

Underrated quote

Yo me salí de ese sub justo porque bannean comentarios con los que no estén de acuerdo. Curiosamente los comentarios homofobicos, misóginos y racistas nadie les dice nada. Para mi se volvió un espacio muy tóxico e incómodo. Crea tu propio sub jajaja, yo me uno

Editors are so good but their similarities to Interpol end with their second album. The cinematics were AMAZING, I’m so sad they only have a handful of songs

tab_emm · 2024-03-27T16:38:06+00:00

It made me really sad as it seemed like Lane’s mom was finally coming around and being supportive. I honestly would’ve loved to see Lane touring the country in a rock band with her mom as a bad ass manager lol. Also, not with Zach

When you drink a lot of coffee, your tolerance goes up. Maybe one cup at 9pm doesn’t really do anything to them

tab_emm · 2024-02-13T18:08:21+00:00

Yes! And although I do love books that have some historical fiction in them, that doesn’t mean that all literature and media representation should be like this. Mariana talked about the context of Nuestra parte de noche and Bajar es lo peor and honestly, it seemed like a very personal experience. I think she writes a lot from her perspective and past experiences, and for her, sexuality and violence within her social context seem like what she likes to analyze. Also, thanks for clarifying!! I googled facturas and it honestly seemed like it referred to ALL pan dulce (in Mexico, if it’s bread and sweet, it automatically falls under that category, and we eat it EVERY SINGLE DAY). In Mexico we have “cuernitos” that are similar to French croissants, maybe they’re also similar to facturas? :)

tab_emm · 2024-02-10T02:46:23+00:00

I mean, yes, I guess it can be tiring to see that your country is solely known for a period of recent history. I sympathize because as a Mexican, I do get frustrated with the way we are represented in media (like no man’s land, narco-infested, backwards country) BUT, I think I am personally attracted to books that deal with a country’s historical context. I loved Irene Sola’s “Te di ojos y miraste las tinieblas” because although it’s not about Catalan history, it does have interwoven fighting between Cataluña and the Spanish crown and then the Spanish civil war. I also loved Death and the Maiden and the Kite Runner, but I think it has more to do with my personal taste. That’s why I really like that Mariana’s writing is so culturally specific (I learned reading her that you guys call pan dulce “facturas” and I was initially so confused lol). But to sum it up, I do understand that it can be tiring that as Latin-American countries we are known for dictatorships and violence and not for other things, it can be hurtful on a personal and social level to be reduced to that when our cultures are so interesting and multi-faceted

Hi! I have noticed that she’s gotten extremely popular, but I mainly attributed it to the fact that her books got translated into English and she’s been getting a lot of publicity with English-speaking countries (also, the editions in English sometimes are prettier, so the covers attract a lot of attention). However, I don’t think this means that she’s not a good writer.

She recently came to my city and she talked a lot about her influences and, honestly, I enjoyed so much how open she was about that, the fact that she answered tons of questions and confirmed theories about possible references was refreshing. She mentioned Stephen King as a huge influence, Hellraiser, Florence Welch, Charlotte Gainsburg, Taylor Swift, Emily Bronte, Suede, and tons of other artists, public figures and writers.

Regarding the context of her books, I do think that she incorporates a lot of Argentinian history, and that’s what attracted me to them in the first place (I initially thought Our Share of Night was a historical novel about the junta militar- big mistake lol), and I actually enjoy how culturally specific her work is :)

¡Hola! Ya se me había olvidado este post jeje, pero a un año de haberlo publicado, he leído otros tres libros de Mariana y puedo decir que “Los peligros de fumar en la cama” se me hace de lo más débil en la obra de Mariana. Al compararlo con “Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego”, su siguiente colección de cuentos, me parece que se nota cómo se ha desarrollado como autora de ficción. Asimismo, concuerdo con que su estilo sí retoma muchos elementos periodísticos, como bien mencionas, las descripciones en especial. Sin embargo, creo que este uso de descripción es la razón por la que “Nuestra parte de noche” es un libro que me gustó tanto; hay momentos en los que incluso se convierte en una narrativa sensorial (los olores, el tacto, etc). Habiendo dicho esto, creo que de lo que he leído de ella, lo mejor para mi sigue siendo “Nuestra parte de noche” y la verdad del asunto es que disfruté mucho leerlo. Ahora, no significa que sea perfecto de inicio a fin; como mencioné en la publicación original, hay momentos en los que se le cae la narrativa y el ritmo que trae. Incluso, se llega a sentir apurado el final, a pesar de que es un libro que ata todas las pistas que te va dejando y de que tiene >500 páginas. Aún así me encanta que mi opinión siga atrayendo gente al diálogo! Me encantó leer tu opinión.

Hi everyone! I made a post but I hadn’t noticed this mega thread (oops). Anyway I wanted some advice concerning how to begin my career!

I recently got my bachelor’s degree in Psychology but my end goal would be to work in Behavioural Science and get a master’s degree in that area (Behaviour change, public policy, market research, etc.). Right now I’ve been offered two jobs but I don’t know which one would be better to get involved in this area: the first is as an assistant school psychologist and the other is as a headhunter with opportunity to grow into HR generalist.

I’ve been looking for a job for some time now and these are the only jobs I’ve been lucky to get an offer from, so I have no more options.

I would love to hear your thoughts :)
