Atth: patriarchy, homophobes
There is a chilean saying for when your brain is tired, but you are also having a good time: la hora poto (the ass hour). Where you start histerically laughing about any stupid shit that anyone says.
I was talking to a friend, asking if they've ever experienced something I've been calling "night stupid", where, late in the evening, you're in the middle of working and suddenly (or, sometimes, gradually) you're unable to do things well--and stuff that usually makes sense stops making sense. Yanno...just a noticeable and frustrating down curve in your overall ability to preform the tasks you're working on. and my friend responds, "Tired. Bees, you're feeling tired."

I keep thinking abt this comment and giggling
Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.

Deje a mi polola durmiendo en la casa. Me dijo que no quería dormir conmigo porque no tenía ropa, y se quedó igual. Me siento culpable porque no le deje opciones para ponerse. No creo que sea tan grave, pero me gustaría ser más preocupada con algo que a ella le preocupa.
