I like to imagine how incredibly tall I would be if all the growing pain aches in my legs were actual growing pains. This week must be a good two feet extra, at least.

Lunsford could say “I prefer dogs over cats” and I shit you not there would be a handful of messages in his inbox within two seconds like “YOU ARE JUST WRONG WRONG HERE WE LIKE CATS BLAH BLAH BLAH”

Except that liking a dog vs a cat doesn’t have the historical background of an entire race of creatures oppressing the other and causing violence to them or thinking they’re less-than the other.

I don’t CARE if the actress was okay with it

women being objectified is misogynistic and leads to verbal, physical and sexual violence, while men being objectified just makes them uncomfortable

thinkmexican: 11 Year-Old Carries On Family’s Aztec Dance Tradition San Francisco Mission District resident Connie Xochiquetzalli “Xochi” Peña has been an Aztec dancer all her life. As a 2 year-old, she danced an entire parade route. Now 11, Xochi sometimes steps in for her mother and teaches dance class at the Mission Cultural Center. She comes from a long line of Aztec dancers. Her great-grandfather on her mother’s side was also a dancer in her family’s native Toluca, Estado de Mexico. Xochi has big plans for herself, ones that include practicing either law or medicine. If dancing parade routes as a toddler and teacher classes while still in the sixth grade is any indication, we’re sure she can do anything she sets her mind to. via SF Gate Photo: Rod Yip/The Chronicle

11 Year-Old Carries On Family’s Aztec Dance Tradition

San Francisco Mission District resident Connie Xochiquetzalli “Xochi” Peña has been an Aztec dancer all her life.

As a 2 year-old, she danced an entire parade route. Now 11, Xochi sometimes steps in for her mother and teaches dance class at the Mission Cultural Center.

She comes from a long line of Aztec dancers. Her great-grandfather on her mother’s side was also a dancer in her family’s native Toluca, Estado de Mexico.

Xochi has big plans for herself, ones that include practicing either law or medicine. If dancing parade routes as a toddler and teacher classes while still in the sixth grade is any indication, we’re sure she can do anything she sets her mind to.
