I'm not completely free because I'm tied to everything. In fact, a person is everything. It's not a heavy burden to carry by yourself because it isn't simply carried: one is everything.

So, in (maybe NSFW-ish) news baffling even for Brazilian politics standards, yup, that was a thing.

A video has leaked of a mother-in-law of the mayor of Campina Grande, Paraíba, in the country's Northeast, snorting cocaine from a half-naked woman's backside, as well as kissing her on the lips.

It's been reported that Soraya Britto (the mayor's mother-in-law) might even be in an actual relationship with the woman in the video. Well, power to them, I hope they have a wholesome and happy relationship (but they really, really should ditch the cocaine, hope they get help for that).

But the ironic and comedic factor in this?

The mayor, Bruno Cunha Lima, is conservative and close with – and shares views with – the far-right, LGBT+phobic, war-on-drugs president Jair Bolsonaro and his family. Bruno claims his mother-in-law hasn't been in touch with his wife for over 10 years. Nonetheless, Soraya defines herself, in her own words, as "extremely Bolsonarist, evangelical, and conservative".

That Tom Phillips guy from the tweet? He's the journalist covering Brazil for The Guardian.

Yea, Brazil is definitely not for beginners.

Enzo Gabriel my beloved

I've always noticed that Americans don't know how to impersonate my accent which I thought was super strange. My native language is Brazilian Portuguese and I always thought the Brazilian accent was so distinct and easy to hear in English, yet I've never heard a gringo who could accurately impersonate it. I brought it up to my gringo friend yesterday and then they were like "it's because you use vowels we don't have in English" which made me think... OMG. That's TRUE!! BR Portuguese has vowel sounds that simply don't exist in English and that subsequently bleed into my accent when I speak English. And that's why gringos don't know how to impersonate me o_o

The only funny moment of being brazilian is to know why people are calling the collector “Enzo Gabriel” and watch everyone else and Dana included being so confused abt the name XD

One Portuguese word I really miss when speaking English is preguiça, the substantive form of preguiçoso/a (lazy).

Cause in Brazil, there's a big difference between saying "Eu sou preguiçoso" (I am lazy) and "Eu estou com preguiça" (I "have lazy"). The first always indicates a fixed personality trait and is usually taken to be a criticism on one's character, while the second would mean something like "I'm feeling lazy right now," indicating a temporary condition of a lack of motivation, usually implying an underlying cause for it. Also, the second phrase is so common, in fact, that you can answer someone just saying "Preguiça." and they'll assume that's what you mean.

So whenever I say "I'm lazy," I always feel the urge to add "right now" at the end, or change it to "I'm feeling lazy," because in my language "ser" is a judgement and a promise and "estar" is for the temporary, yet all English has to offer me is "be".

seems like they're going to take the term "sprint race" very literally seeing as there are... no cars.

Does what I don't see not exist? What moves me most is that what I don't see exists nonetheless. Because then I have at my feet a whole unknown world that fully exists [...] The truth is somewhere: but it's useless to think about it.

"I'm just a pretty face that chose the wrong path."

"I'm throwing a baby shower for myself since there are people thinking I was born yesterday."

"But hadn't you quit the beer for good?!?"

"I quit the beer yes, I just don't know where I left the bottle."

"Why should I hire you?"

"Because I'm unemployed 😂"

"We are deserving of enjoying some vacation 🥃❤️🤑"

teens in american tv shows will be like “i hate my family they’re so weird ugh why couldn’t my family be NORMAL like everybody else’s??? i hate it here i am running away” 

then have a nuclear white family with loving parents who have been married for 20 years and are trying their best to support their 2.5 children and a dog living in a big house in the suburbs, but don’t want their children to be crazy people doing dangerous things and are therefore Awful
