This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Somewhat tangential, but my sister-in-law insists that people use "latinx" whenever she hears someone say latino or latina. This despite the fact that latinos overwhelmingly prefer the terms "latino" or "hispanic" to describe themselves; in fact most have never even heard the term latinx and most of those who have are offended by that, not by latino or hispanic. I like pointing out to my (very white) sister-in-law that there is nothing more white than telling other ethnicities what they should or should not be called.
okay but what do genderqueer people whose first language is spanish say?
Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.
to be fair I don't know how to pronounce the x in english either.
but that is the one I've heard most often. edit: e not x, most often
