There are worse places to enjoy a cigar than Texas. In fact, there are few better.

me vs the constant urge to make an extremely long list of band codes for states with bird forms in the exesverse

#wttsh #welcome to the table #wttt #thought of grackle-texas having a leg band that reads ST1 (for 'lone star' because it was the easiest joke to make)#i think alaska's leg band would probably read LF50? (Last Frontier & statehood admission date of 1950)#can't decide whether to make california's ED50 (el dorado 1850) or GS50 (golden state 1850) or either of these & 31 #could also just be CA-31 but that feels boring #(i will expound upon this subject if it is requested of me)

this is just the peak of every post i’ve made about why the “buddie > tarlos” discourse (?) can end up being so reductive. obviously, if Eddie’s story resonates with you and you find value in reading his character as gay that’s great. i think there’s a lot of conversation to be had about why his journey works so well in a queer reading and how the creators are engaging that in way that i (and many many others) consider baiting.

however, taking a storyline of a gay character played by an out gay actor and saying it’s a worse version of a popular headcanon is insulting to all the work Rafa has done and how Carlos might resonate with people. even when reading Eddie as indisputably gay, these two characters have very different journeys. saying that Carlos’ struggle with seeing himself as “broken” is just knockoff Eddie reinforces the false impression that multiple gay characters can’t exist in the same space and have similar stories and feelings. it’s needlessly antagonistic and tarlos isn’t the reason buddie isn’t canon. the show runners and producers who insist that the romantic reading is baseless “fan speculation” are. attacking canonically queer characters won’t magically make anything else canon. it’s just makes you look ridiculous.

Texas has such a large Mexican population, I'm really surprised Red Bull doesn't act like it's a secondary home race for Checo like they do for Danny

#Danny is white Austin #American Texas #but Checo is hispanic Texas #Mexico Texas #neither of them embody the Lone Star State though #maybe Lewis #checo perez #daniel ricciardo #red bull racing #us gp 2023 #2023cota

BLACK COWBOYS, 1911. Articles about Black cowhands in the Old West typically include at least one of the eight photos Erwin E. Smith took at the “Negro State Fair,” as it was titled at the time. Held at Bonham in North Texas during August 23 – 27, the 1911 event had four days of races, rodeo events, parades, and a talent show.

just slightly tipsy on christmas eve and thinking about the nature of love and how my extended family who have never been to america all have texas-themed items of clothing because my cousin married an american and his mother insists on sending us all presents even though she has never even met half of us

#christmas makes me sentimental alright #thinking about how loving people makes your love extend to the people that they love 😭😭#mine is a t-shirt that just says 'TEXAS lone star state' on it #and she sent her son a dallas cowboys jersey #and he got emotional bc he has been living overseas for ages and is so disconnected from american football #people with good moms man it always gets me #mothers who just seem to have this unending well of love to give #completely selflessly #anyway #happy holidays folks!#hope you're staying safe out there #i got sunburnt :/#boo #anje is an idiot

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

Ms. Fleshman, now 60, is among the thousands of Americans diagnosed with alpha-gal syndrome, an allergic reaction to mammal meats like pork, beef and lamb, which growing evidence shows can be triggered by a tick bite.

“It feels like you’re on fire, and then it feels like you slept with a cactus,” she said. “The itching is unbearable.”

Researchers have traced the syndrome to the lone star tick, named for the signature white splotch, or “lone star,” on females’ backs. They’re historically found in the southern United States, but increasingly, these arachnids are being spotted in parts of the Midwest and the Northeast.

The tick’s territory is expanding, thanks in part to global warming, say scientists. With more hot days each year, the ticks, which thrive in warm and humid conditions, have more time to feed on their hosts and reproduce. At the same time, alpha-gal diagnoses appear to be rising.

“What we’re now seeing is a wide open door for ticks to continue expanding their range further northward; bringing more people into the fold of the arthropod-borne diseases,” said Michael Raupp, a professor emeritus in entomology at the University of Maryland.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that between 2004 and 2019, the total number of tick-borne diseases in the United States more than doubled. In the meantime, other devastating pests that were previously constrained by cooler temperatures — like the dengue virus-carrying tiger mosquito, or the cabbage-munching harlequin bug — have also marched forth beyond their historic ranges.

Please contact your governors or representatives if you live in one of these states and demand they stop this racist anti-immigrant bullshit!

Greg Abbot needs to know that this is a humanitarian issue and not a military invasion like he is treating it!

I should honestly make something related to like. Texan nature. Like maybe I'll do a personal art study challenge or something. Do an art study of one texan thing every so often.
