Speaker 1: emotional and just like real that what we do resonates
5:20
Speaker 1: with so many people. Because you've been listening to us
5:22
Speaker 1: from the beginning. You know that this has been completely
5:25
Speaker 1: d I Y. You know that we've been learning as
5:27
Speaker 1: we go. We learn with you all. We learn like
5:29
Speaker 1: what works and what doesn't, and like what resonates more
5:32
Speaker 1: with y'all, and like how we can keep pushing it
5:34
Speaker 1: and keep growing. So it's so nice to see like
5:37
Speaker 1: our labor of love being recognized. You know, our seeds
5:41
Speaker 1: are blooming, the seeds that we've planted are definitely blooming. Yes, um,
5:46
Speaker 1: And I mean we're still and we're still d I
5:48
Speaker 1: Y absolutely like we still. Like just just as a
5:51
Speaker 1: reminder or like for our new listeners, because I know
5:54
Speaker 1: that we have new listeners all the time, and new followers.
5:57
Speaker 1: So we record this out of a community radio station.
6:03
Speaker 1: They allow like community to come and record for free
6:06
Speaker 1: and have radio shows here. So we're so grateful for that. Um,
6:10
Speaker 1: we've never paid like to take a class, you know
6:13
Speaker 1: in podcasting or in soundboard operating right right and like
6:17
Speaker 1: very behind the scenes. But when we first got here,
6:20
Speaker 1: like I'm like a kid, you'll not it would take
6:22
Speaker 1: us like an hour to set up because we could
6:24
Speaker 1: never we could not figure out the board. Now malas
6:27
Speaker 1: our soundboard operator, and you know, we've like we figured
6:31
Speaker 1: it out and we we've learned, and it took a
6:33
Speaker 1: lot of trial and error. Like if you live you've
6:35
Speaker 1: been listening since the beginning, you remember that with Creatico achievement,
6:40
Speaker 1: we had to record it three times because there were
6:44
Speaker 1: all these issues with the sound because we didn't know
6:46
Speaker 1: what we were doing. But you know, anyway, so like
6:49
Speaker 1: now here we are and like it's still very d
6:51
Speaker 1: I y, but we have like a better understanding of
6:53
Speaker 1: how to do things, how to work the board, how
6:55
Speaker 1: to do sound editing and all of that, and you know,
6:58
Speaker 1: again for our new followers and listeners, like anybody had
7:00
Speaker 1: ever wondered, like why do we do keynotes, or why
7:03
Speaker 1: do we do workshops or why do we have our venmo?
7:05
Speaker 1: Why do we have merged? Well, because we fund everything
7:08
Speaker 1: ourselves as well. We don't have any sponsors. We don't
7:11
Speaker 1: have any like financial backers, we don't have any investors.
7:14
Speaker 1: So when we do workshops or keynotes, if we're offered
7:17
Speaker 1: an honorarium, all of that goes directly back into the
7:19
Speaker 1: podcast and keeping things going and paying for travel, and
7:24
Speaker 1: our eyelashes were also like when we do keynotes or
7:27
Speaker 1: we do any travel that we have to do, we
7:29
Speaker 1: have to take time off of work and we don't
7:31
Speaker 1: always have paid time off, so we have you know,
7:34
Speaker 1: we have to make up for that. And there's been
7:36
Speaker 1: very very few times that we've ever like paid ourselves
7:38
Speaker 1: like as individuals. It always goes back to the podcast.
7:42
Speaker 1: So just some background, which is why is it it's
7:45
Speaker 1: exciting for us to see like a major publication like
7:48
Speaker 1: four because we're super indie. We're little, you know. So anyways,
7:53
Speaker 1: thank you everybody. We have some upcoming events, yes we do, yes,
7:58

Speaker 1: night for Spanish Presents, so we got to see Justina.
10:38
Speaker 1: Gina Machado was the lead actress alongside Rita moreno Um
10:44
Speaker 1: for One Day at a Time on Netflix. She was
10:47
Speaker 1: a special guest at the show. We saw stand up

10:55

11:12
Speaker 1: stand up improv and it was really fun. It was
11:16
Speaker 1: really fun. I haven't seen live theater in a long
11:18
Speaker 1: time and it was nice, you know, to go to
11:20
Speaker 1: and see like all these young Latino creators just like
11:23
Speaker 1: doing it and putting on shows. We might have something
11:26
Speaker 1: secret brewing in the future in this area, maybe possibly,
11:31
Speaker 1: so stay tuned for that because you know, we're getting
11:34
Speaker 1: into the live shows and everything. So yeah, super fun. Yes,
11:37

11:42
Speaker 1: like she said, like, we'll see what the future holds
11:44
Speaker 1: for us UM and then okay, So this past week,
11:50
Speaker 1: um I, we were doing some polls via Instagram and
11:53
Speaker 1: like we wanted to find out like, how y'all, how
11:56
Speaker 1: y'all listen to us? What are y'all doing while you're
11:58
Speaker 1: listening and standing got sis don Monday hando, what are
12:01
Speaker 1: y'all doing? So that led us to think about, like
12:06
Speaker 1: we'll ask y'all, like what if we were to host
12:08
Speaker 1: like a meet up in l A for our listeners
12:10
Speaker 1: that live here, and y'all were super receptive and super
12:13
Speaker 1: open and down. So we did another poll and we
12:17
Speaker 1: voted on a date. So we're gonna be having an
12:20
Speaker 1: meet up for our l A locomotives Saturday, August eleventh.
12:24
Speaker 1: Location is to be determined. We're trying to figure out
12:27
Speaker 1: the best venue, UM and it's going to be in
12:30
Speaker 1: the afternoon, so anticipate like two three o'clock something like that,
12:34
Speaker 1: and we'll keep you all posted, but for now, save
12:36
Speaker 1: the date, Save the date, be prepared with your poppy hats,
12:40
Speaker 1: hans um, bring friends, bring family, bring loved ones. We
12:46
Speaker 1: just want to get together and just hang out with everybody. Yeah,
12:49
Speaker 1: it'll be super low key and promptu and like if
12:52
Speaker 1: you've been to our shows or you've you've been to
12:55
Speaker 1: any of our events or our parties, like you know
12:56
Speaker 1: that we can't really talk very much to everyone, Like
13:00
Speaker 1: we can say hello and like chat briefly, but it's
13:02
Speaker 1: just so busy all the time. So this will be
13:04
Speaker 1: a way to get to know us and like talk
13:06
Speaker 1: to us more on like a personal level where there's
13:09
Speaker 1: not like speakers blaring and you know all that really
13:12
Speaker 1: fun to go the party, but not like the best
13:13
Speaker 1: place to like chat, you know. Yeah, and as pointed out,
13:17
Speaker 1: you know, like we have when we've done parties and events,
13:21
Speaker 1: they've been like at clubs or bars. Yes, even our
13:23
Speaker 1: own live show right was twenty one plus, so we
13:26
Speaker 1: have listeners who are younger than one um and so
13:30
Speaker 1: trying to figure out a way to connect with everybody
13:33
Speaker 1: outside of the bar space. So just like if you
13:38
Speaker 1: are a listener that is under twenty one and you
13:41
Speaker 1: want to come, like this will be the event for you.
13:43
Speaker 1: We're like really trying to plan it so that it's
13:45
Speaker 1: accessible to everybody. Um and also like folks that are
13:48
Speaker 1: sober and don't want to be like a bar space,
13:50
Speaker 1: you know exactly, So we have options for getting together.
13:53
Speaker 1: We're trying to find like the right place. So we'll
13:55
Speaker 1: tell y'all. We'll let y'all now, yeah, all right, are
13:58
Speaker 1: we ready? We're ready, Yes, it's time for listener questions. Okay,
14:03
Speaker 1: So the first one is being the mommies of myth
14:07
Speaker 1: and bullshit and allusion to one of Sandra sis Nettle's poems.
14:11
Speaker 1: Now it is Zdinding correct, So the very first capito
14:18
Speaker 1: no local epistemologies we actually discussed like the poem Loose
14:23
Speaker 1: Woman by Sandra STOs, which is where the mommies of
14:27
Speaker 1: myth and Bullshit comes from. She says, I am a
14:29
Speaker 1: woman of myth and bullshit, and she also in the
14:34
Speaker 1: poem goes on to talk about how like I'm a
14:36
Speaker 1: woman of myth and bullshit and yes I authored some
14:40
Speaker 1: of it, right, So our whole idea and We've talked
14:43
Speaker 1: about this before in the podcast. The idea in creating
14:46
Speaker 1: an audio archive and creating a radio phonic novella in
14:49
Speaker 1: which we and our friends and our folks are at
14:52
Speaker 1: the center, right, is like we are writing our own mythology.
14:56
Speaker 1: We're creating our own narrative and like our own archive
14:59
Speaker 1: of our lives, and we're documenting our bullshit ourselves, you know,
15:03
Speaker 1: like you can't rewrite our history because we're writing it ourselves.
15:06
Speaker 1: We're documenting it as we go. Absolutely from the podcast
15:10
Speaker 1: to the Instagram and the selfies and the stories and
15:13
Speaker 1: the posts and the tweets, like it's all documentation, you know,
15:17
Speaker 1: like we have written what's happened right, right, And if
15:22
Speaker 1: you think about like ancestry and like communities, right, a
15:25
Speaker 1: lot of stuff gets lost and a lot of stuff
15:27
Speaker 1: isn't documented or archives. So it's really important now. Like
15:31
Speaker 1: now I think about, like, um, like what does that
15:34
Speaker 1: queer ancestry look like? Like a lot of our elders,
15:37
Speaker 1: Like we don't have a lot of elders. Like if
15:39
Speaker 1: you think about like the queer community or even like
15:41
Speaker 1: fem fem elders, so like thinking about that and honoring
15:44
Speaker 1: like what what legacy are we leaving for, like the
15:47
Speaker 1: queer fem women of color folks that are to follow us,
15:51
Speaker 1: you know, like what are we leaving behind to keep
15:54
Speaker 1: building off of? So I think that that's something that
15:57
Speaker 1: we're doing, and like that is where where mommy submit
15:59
Speaker 1: and bullshit from and like mommies because we're mummies, because
16:02
Speaker 1: our mommies, because why not because mommy and for me too.
16:06
Speaker 1: I think there's a part of what we've done with
16:09
Speaker 1: the podcasts and with just our social media is like
16:11
Speaker 1: creating your own hype. You know, you gotta create your
16:14
Speaker 1: own hype. You gotta you gotta name yourself and tell
16:17
Speaker 1: people that your bomb right right right, you know. So
16:20
Speaker 1: we named we named ourselves the mommy's ad myth and bullshit.
16:23
Speaker 1: Nobody like bestowed that upon us. It's not like we
16:26
Speaker 1: earned it and somebody recognized us with that. No, we
16:28
Speaker 1: created that for ourselves. We made that, you know, we
16:31
Speaker 1: became it. And so just for anybody who's interested in,
16:35
Speaker 1: you know, pursuing some type of a creative project or
16:39
Speaker 1: if you yourself are the creative project, not being afraid
16:42
Speaker 1: to hype yourself up in those ways. Yeah, And I
16:45
Speaker 1: mean I think everything that we do is like not
16:48
Speaker 1: for the mail gates, right, And that's what like being
16:51
Speaker 1: like fem is right. You're doing it for yourself and
16:53
Speaker 1: you're doing it to be empowered and you're like owning
16:56
Speaker 1: this femininity and it's not because you are doing it
17:00
Speaker 1: for the mail gays, you know what I mean. So
17:02
Speaker 1: there's so much power in doing it for yourself and
17:04
Speaker 1: like doing it in community, which is what we do.
17:06
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, and we do. I think the
17:10
Speaker 1: myth part is important for us because we talk about
17:13
Speaker 1: going back to look at pistemologies. We will look at
17:16
Speaker 1: historical traditional cultural myths and mythologies and unpack it and
17:21
Speaker 1: look for the survivor narrative. A lot of what we
17:23
Speaker 1: do is counter narrative, Like our podcast is a giant
17:26
Speaker 1: counter narrative. So I think that for us that tagline
17:31
Speaker 1: ties into it too. We don't need to be like,
17:34
Speaker 1: we don't need to be useful in a utilitarian way
17:38
Speaker 1: or academic in a useful way. We can we can
17:40
Speaker 1: bullshit and still do it and it still counts and
17:43
Speaker 1: you still want to listen to it and it's fine. Yeah, absolutely,
17:47
Speaker 1: so yeah, yeah, good question, great question. Thank you to
17:50
Speaker 1: whomever submitted that one. Thank you. Okay, So next question
17:54
Speaker 1: and we're gonna like build off of this question for
17:56
Speaker 1: the rest of But this question is um, is it
18:00
Speaker 1: too late as a twenty four year old woman to
18:02
Speaker 1: make lifelong friends? Any suggestions and or advice on where
18:06
Speaker 1: to find some bomb friends and put myself out there?
18:08
Speaker 1: I need friends? Like? Yah? Good? Good question. What do
18:14
Speaker 1: you think? No? I don't think that it's too late
18:16
Speaker 1: as a woman, Absolutely not. Um. I feel like, um,
18:22
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know, but I'm gonna make this guess
18:25
Speaker 1: that maybe this woman, this twenty four year old is
18:28
Speaker 1: um has kind of like outgrown her older friends or
18:32
Speaker 1: her friends that she's had for for an x amount
18:34
Speaker 1: of time a significant yeah, yeah, so she that she
18:37
Speaker 1: may feel like she doesn't have any friends, you know
18:41
Speaker 1: what I mean? UM? And that's okay. I think we've
18:43
Speaker 1: talked about that in another cap where you will it's
18:46
Speaker 1: natural to outgrow people and having someone be in your
18:50
Speaker 1: life just because you have histories and necessarily the right
18:53
Speaker 1: reason to have them in your life. If there's you're
18:55
Speaker 1: not um really like if there's no like neutral, like exchange,
19:00
Speaker 1: like effort, and like all these things that go into
19:03
Speaker 1: being a good friend. Um, then I mean there there's
19:05
Speaker 1: really no point in them serving I mean, being in
19:07
Speaker 1: your life that they're not serving anything beneficial for you,
19:10
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Um, yeah, that is what
19:14
Speaker 1: I think about that. It's definitely twenty four is very young,
19:19
Speaker 1: like you're little, You're little somebody. I'm twenty six and
19:22
Speaker 1: someone told me that I was little the other day.
19:24
Speaker 1: I feel like an older woman was like you're little. Um,
19:27
Speaker 1: but yeah, you're really young. If you're twenty four, you're
19:29
Speaker 1: really young. And um, you know my mom being an
19:32
Speaker 1: older woman, my mom still makes new friends and then
19:36
Speaker 1: like like solid friends, like good friends, not just acquaintances,
19:40
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that for me, where I've
19:43
Speaker 1: made friends as an adult has been people who share
19:47
Speaker 1: my same interests, you know. Like we talked about our
19:50
Speaker 1: origin story, Yosa and I, and we became friends because
19:53
Speaker 1: we had this shared interest of using the Internet and
19:56
Speaker 1: being online and then hanging out with other Latinas and
20:00
Speaker 1: became like that's what brought us together, um, saying with
20:04
Speaker 1: with Yessica and I'm going to get the apple bum
20:06
Speaker 1: and marizza, Like we were all just i G users
20:09
Speaker 1: who just came together because we happen to all follow
20:12
Speaker 1: the same accounts, you know, so I have like my
20:15
Speaker 1: sister is My sister is highly involved U in this
20:19
Speaker 1: like Women's Harry this Women's Harry Potter like club like
20:23
Speaker 1: on Facebook. She's like heavily involved and she's made so
20:27
Speaker 1: many friends that way because she has this heavy interest
20:29
Speaker 1: in Harry Potter and they like have monthly meet ups
20:32
Speaker 1: and the like get packages and like they have like shirts,
20:35
Speaker 1: like the whole thing, you know. So all that to say, like,
20:39
Speaker 1: if you have an interest, even if it's like niche
20:42
Speaker 1: or weird, like, I promise you that there's like an
20:45
Speaker 1: online community which translates into an in real life community,
20:50
Speaker 1: So don't be afraid to join those groups and just
20:52
Speaker 1: get started and show up to things. We've had listeners
20:55
Speaker 1: we've had Okay, speaking of making friends, I know we
20:58
Speaker 1: know for a fact that the pot cast has brought
21:02
Speaker 1: moheadas together and mohadas have become friends. Like we have
21:06
Speaker 1: listeners that will come to our events like alone like Sola,
21:09
Speaker 1: you know, but to like and have met people and
21:11
Speaker 1: have become friends with us and with others and like
21:15
Speaker 1: our events. I love that our events feel safe enough
21:17
Speaker 1: for people to come alone and they know they're going
21:21
Speaker 1: to find fun and community even if they show up
21:23
Speaker 1: by themselves. Yes, I agree. So I mean if you
21:26
Speaker 1: this mohead or just anyone in general like come to
21:29
Speaker 1: the events like I come ter meet up, I think
21:33
Speaker 1: that that would be a great place. And I like
21:35
Speaker 1: totally agree with Momala said, like finding people that you
21:39
Speaker 1: share interest with, you know, I think that is where,
21:43
Speaker 1: um the commonality will lie and like where you can
21:45
Speaker 1: build a friendship. And also it's okay I think to
21:48
Speaker 1: have like your friends for certain things, you know what
21:50
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you have like your gym friends maybe
21:53
Speaker 1: or like your hiking friends or whatever, like you do
21:56
Speaker 1: activities with. And then you have your drinking friends, your
21:59
Speaker 1: brunch friends, and then you have like your home girls
22:01
Speaker 1: that you're gonna like go to like for everything, and
22:04
Speaker 1: they're kind of they kind of encompass all of those groups,
22:06
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Um, So I think that
22:08
Speaker 1: that's okay. Um. And yeah, I mean I don't think
22:11
Speaker 1: it's too late at all, Like, yeah, put yourself out yourself.
22:16
Speaker 1: Like dating, it's like dating face, it's like dating. It's
22:21
Speaker 1: easier than dating, easier than dating. It's easier, but it's
22:23
Speaker 1: like dating in that you gotta put yourself out there. Yes,
22:26
Speaker 1: you because you know friends as an adult, friends don't
22:30
Speaker 1: necessarily come looking for you. Yeah, you have to put
22:34
Speaker 1: in the effort, like both of you do, to run
22:37
Speaker 1: into each other in collide somewhere. My friend Monica has
22:41
Speaker 1: like an entire community of people she's become friends with
22:44
Speaker 1: and they go to events because they all like Black
22:47
Speaker 1: Milk Clothing Company, you know what I mean, Like, and
22:50
Speaker 1: they all follow the clothing company's Facebook. And when the
22:52
Speaker 1: clothing company has problems, they all go and they all
22:55
Speaker 1: wear the clothes. It could be anything I've seen that,
22:58
Speaker 1: like when like makeup artists have um they're like meat ingreds.
23:01
Speaker 1: And then like the makeup community has it's like its
23:03
Speaker 1: own community, like of all the like beauty gurus and
23:06
Speaker 1: like all that stuff, you know, and so like there's
23:08
Speaker 1: so many communities. I feel like the Internet has really
23:11
Speaker 1: made that available to us, all these like sub communities
23:14
Speaker 1: within one community, which I think is really interesting. Like
23:17
Speaker 1: I just joined like a like a poc skincare group
23:21
Speaker 1: on Facebook, and I was like, I thought I knew
23:23
Speaker 1: a lot about skincare, and it turns out I don't
23:25
Speaker 1: like like these heads are these women? These folks talk
23:30
Speaker 1: about like the ingredients in the skincare and like literally
23:34
Speaker 1: like the scientific ship like, well, if you're using this
23:37
Speaker 1: product and it has this ingredient, well you can't use
23:39
Speaker 1: this one because it has that ingredient and it's not
23:41
Speaker 1: going to mix. Well they know that kind of ship.
23:44
Speaker 1: And I was like, wow, I just know the vitamin
23:45
Speaker 1: C is good for my skins. All that I know.
23:48
Speaker 1: I thought I was on top of it because I
23:49
Speaker 1: was wearing serums, but no. So anyway, the point is
23:53
Speaker 1: that there's like a there's a lot out there, and
23:55
Speaker 1: like I hope like you find your group and like
23:57
Speaker 1: come to our events. And yeah, the head that actually
24:01
Speaker 1: wrote this wrote this question. She also like DMed us
24:05
Speaker 1: the other day. Um, I forget about what but she
24:07
Speaker 1: demmed us. So come to one of our events, come
24:10
Speaker 1: to the meet up, like we want to meet we
24:13
Speaker 1: want to meet you. Let's be friends. Yes, I think
24:15
Speaker 1: it's time for us to go into our song break Yes,
24:21
Speaker 1: vodka belly Rosa and and and and and and and
24:31
Speaker 1: and and and and and and and and um um
24:53
Speaker 1: um um um um and we're back. Who remembered that song?
25:09
Speaker 1: That's a classic, right, that is a classic joint. So
25:13
Speaker 1: like Agian but I don't look so yeah, and obviously
25:15
Speaker 1: she is, but like, oh my god, they were baby, right,
25:18
Speaker 1: they were like thirteen or fourteen. I can't even so
25:22
Speaker 1: many of our favorite favorite pop stars got started when
25:27
Speaker 1: they were so young, saying all the Destiny's Child girls, Brittany, Christina,
25:35
Speaker 1: all of them. I can't even imagine. I feel young
25:39
Speaker 1: in like our twenties, like trying to do stuff like
25:42
Speaker 1: I can't, like I know, oh my god. Alright anyway, yeah,
25:48
Speaker 1: so anyway, So the topic of today it's cap is
25:51
Speaker 1: actually umando as politic um a survival, a survival like
26:00
Speaker 1: what is from defense is look like? What is what
26:03
Speaker 1: does like camaraderie co mariando look like? First, I think
26:09
Speaker 1: it's so fascinating because I don't know that there's like
26:12
Speaker 1: an English language equivalent to the concept. I don't know
26:15
Speaker 1: who there is. Like literally, you're a core, you are
26:18
Speaker 1: co mothering, Yes, you're a co mother and like in
26:23
Speaker 1: Latino communities, as we all know, to be a mare
26:26
Speaker 1: can take a lot of different forms. There can be
26:28
Speaker 1: the formal, like you're literally the baptismal like godmother to
26:32
Speaker 1: someone's child, like I have my have that um and
26:37
Speaker 1: I baptized her, So I'm like formally, like you know,
26:41
Speaker 1: like my uncle is my mi compadre, you know what
26:43
Speaker 1: I mean. And then like the baby's godfather is Michempare
26:47
Speaker 1: and then her mom is Michael Madre. So there's like
26:49
Speaker 1: that literal way of doing things, and then there's the
26:51
Speaker 1: less formal way of being a Yeah. Yeah, and like
26:55
Speaker 1: I like, so my Mina is like my mother. So
27:00
Speaker 1: like when you're talking about like co mothering, it's like
27:02
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, Like I think being a Nina is like
27:05
Speaker 1: a very very big responsibility. It's a very big role
27:09
Speaker 1: because she like she mothers me and like all the
27:12
Speaker 1: fun ways, you know, like she doesn't have to like
27:15
Speaker 1: deal with my bullshit, you know, like the way my
27:17
Speaker 1: mom had to, right right, but like my Nina like
27:21
Speaker 1: she gets to spoil me and like we get to
27:26
Speaker 1: have all the fun you know, and and then that's it,
27:29
Speaker 1: you know. I mean she does mother me in other ways,
27:31
Speaker 1: but like the point is like she gets to be
27:33
Speaker 1: like the mom that goes home, you know what I mean,
27:36
Speaker 1: the mom that takes a break, right. Yeah. Anyway, Um,
27:39
Speaker 1: so yeah, I think Nina's are like when I because
27:41
Speaker 1: I have such a good relationship with mine, and now
27:43
Speaker 1: I'm like when I think of Nina's, I just think
27:44
Speaker 1: of like warmth and like a lot of and like
27:47
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, like with my um, with Chloe's, with my
27:53
Speaker 1: god baby with that, Like I love her so much
27:56
Speaker 1: because she's hilarious and I see so much of myself her.
28:00
Speaker 1: The other day, like I hung out with her, right
28:02
Speaker 1: and I don't. Like, here's the thing, like I have,
28:04
Speaker 1: I have never really taken care of like a child
28:08
Speaker 1: for like a long period of time by myself because
28:11
Speaker 1: there's just so many other people, like in the family,
28:13
Speaker 1: in the house. It's never been like just me. There's
28:17
Speaker 1: never been a necessity for me to like take care
28:20
Speaker 1: of the baby for a week or for three days,
28:22
Speaker 1: you know, like I'll babysit for four or five hours
28:24
Speaker 1: here and there, and then we're relinquishing. So like I
28:28
Speaker 1: had Chloes the other day and like we went and
28:30
Speaker 1: we got tacos and we blew bubbles and we hung
28:33
Speaker 1: out and it was just me and her, and I'm
28:36
Speaker 1: like so annoyed because at the end of it, I
28:38
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, I'm like, I'm like, could be such
28:40
Speaker 1: a cute single mom right now. He's so good at
28:42
Speaker 1: this baby six once right, prepared for prepared for motherhood.
28:48
Speaker 1: You're ridiculous, but it was. But it was so cute.
28:51
Speaker 1: It was a cute thing to do. But like the
28:53
Speaker 1: like non formal or like informal like school that it
28:57
Speaker 1: weighs that, like our sisterhood are like friendships that they
29:01
Speaker 1: kind of like they turned into like this very like
29:04
Speaker 1: like family type of relationships. Right, Like I like joked
29:08
Speaker 1: with Mala like the very first time that she gave
29:09
Speaker 1: me plant clippings, I was like, oh my god, Madres
29:13
Speaker 1: level unlocked, like mother status unlocked. I was like, this
29:18
Speaker 1: is it status unlocked truly in real ways And it
29:23
Speaker 1: was the perfect clipping because it's it was the standard
29:26
Speaker 1: like potos, Like every Senora has this house plant. Every
29:31
Speaker 1: Senora has this house plants somewhere in the house. Yeah,
29:33
Speaker 1: And I told MoMA was like, oh, I want to
29:35
Speaker 1: buy this plant. She was no, I have clippings. She
29:37
Speaker 1: was like, I'll give you clippings, Like, don't buy it.
29:38
Speaker 1: And how are they doing? How are the clippings? They
29:40
Speaker 1: are thriving? They have like they appropriated them and like
29:46
Speaker 1: the little these little like pink faces and they look
29:49
Speaker 1: really pretty. I have like one next to my succulents
29:52
Speaker 1: one of my dad. Like, they're very they're doing well.
29:54
Speaker 1: I love it because we're both dog moms, but we're
29:57
Speaker 1: also plant moms. Yes, yes, we like for now, that's
30:01
Speaker 1: the only mothering that we only have the capacity for
30:04
Speaker 1: those types of mother right right. And our dogs, our
30:08
Speaker 1: dogs are friends. Pappas is a little aggressive. Pop Us
30:11
Speaker 1: is very aggressive. He's just like a super hyper terrier.
30:14
Speaker 1: He's like a year old. He is like he cannot
30:18
Speaker 1: be around like other small dogs. He needs to be
30:20
Speaker 1: around like the big boys. Honestly, yeah, but that's neither
30:24
Speaker 1: here nor there. Ye. Anyways, the other thing that we
30:27
Speaker 1: do like levels is when we got our joint bank account.
30:31
Speaker 1: Yes we had we got our joint bank account. We
30:33
Speaker 1: went to the bank obviously went to the bank and
30:35
Speaker 1: we opened up our bank account. And it's so funny
30:37
Speaker 1: because mil and I do like very partnery things, you know,
30:41
Speaker 1: because we are partners, are partners in podcasting. We're like,
30:44
Speaker 1: you know, we have a very like romantic platonic relationship,
30:47
Speaker 1: like we send each other good morning text messages, you know.
30:50
Speaker 1: But obviously we're home girls were gods. But we get
30:53
Speaker 1: asked constantly if like we're partners, like if we're in
30:57
Speaker 1: a romantic relationship and we're always like no, but like
31:02
Speaker 1: it looks like it definitely yeah, and maybe like, um,
31:06
Speaker 1: you know, maybe more functional, yeah, many a romantic maybe
31:12
Speaker 1: maybe No, it's super cute. I mean we'll shop for
31:16
Speaker 1: clothes together, like if we have an event, because we
31:18
Speaker 1: like to coordinate, you we like matching out. We accidentally
31:20
Speaker 1: coordinate all the time. Yes, it does happen accidentally. Um,
31:24
Speaker 1: I think we just aret in rhythm right now, an
31:27
Speaker 1: aesthetic rhythm. We're also like very in sync. Yeah, I
31:30
Speaker 1: feel it. Like sometimes we we'll like text each other
31:33
Speaker 1: like things that the other was in a text, Like,
31:37
Speaker 1: we'll text each other something that the other was going
31:39
Speaker 1: to text. You know what I mean. I'm like, stop it.
31:41
Speaker 1: I was just going to tell you this. The thoughts
31:43
Speaker 1: are like here on the forefront, right yeah, yeah, yeah
31:46
Speaker 1: what else? Yeah no, no, no, we joke. I'm like,
31:49
Speaker 1: is the only person who sends me my good morning
31:51
Speaker 1: beautiful text? It's true, It's true. I sent her a
31:54
Speaker 1: good morning text every day, good morning text every day.
31:58
Speaker 1: I'm partnership, and we don't talk, like and if we
32:02
Speaker 1: don't talk for like twelve hours, to twenty four hours,
32:04
Speaker 1: like freak out. It's like weird. She's like just checking
32:07
Speaker 1: in because it feels weird that we haven't spoken, Like
32:09
Speaker 1: what have we not been talking all day like we
32:11
Speaker 1: normally do, because usually we're texting and we're on I
32:14
Speaker 1: G D M and Twitter DM and sometimes also Facebook
32:19
Speaker 1: at the same time talking about different things. And then
32:22
Speaker 1: sometimes we will both switch between our personal and the
32:25
Speaker 1: look at the account on all the platforms. So from
32:31
Speaker 1: two profiles on every platform, Oh my god, yeah, exactly exactly,
32:38
Speaker 1: so you know what I mean? You know what I mean?
32:39
Speaker 1: Like our sister, like, why don't we even talk about everything? Everything?
32:45
Speaker 1: We're plotting. We're plots. We're literally always talking about something
32:50
Speaker 1: at all times. When I tell you, like we're like podcast,
32:54
Speaker 1: Like sometimes it's first thing in the morning, it's like,
32:56
Speaker 1: good morning, this is what we have going on to right. Well,
32:59
Speaker 1: then the other day I was out here in boil
33:01
Speaker 1: Hights for work and when I was driving back to
33:03
Speaker 1: the office, I called Mala and we had like a
33:05
Speaker 1: twenty five minute work call as I was driving to
33:08
Speaker 1: my other job, and I was like, Okay, this is
33:10
Speaker 1: the kind of ship you gotta do. And we had
33:13
Speaker 1: like a full ass meeting in the twenty five minute drive.
33:17
Speaker 1: Like no, we hustle, like we really do. We We eat, breathe,
33:21
Speaker 1: and sleep this ship. To be honest, we literally do.
33:24
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, So anyway, anyway, anyway, going back to
33:31
Speaker 1: like it's interesting like the way I feel like once
33:38
Speaker 1: you get to liked, like it's a very different type
33:43
Speaker 1: of relationship or like it's almost like like you're it's
33:47
Speaker 1: like like I said earlier, like you it's like a
33:49
Speaker 1: status unlocked, right, So it's like you're above the home girl,
33:52
Speaker 1: You're closer than the friend. You're like kind of like
33:54
Speaker 1: a sister, but not necessarily so. And I feel like
34:00
Speaker 1: the way Mama said in the beginning, it's like is
34:02
Speaker 1: like we'll take care of each other. Literally they take
34:04
Speaker 1: care of each other's kids. There's like so much support
34:07
Speaker 1: in that once you have children. I mean obviously we
34:10
Speaker 1: joke it like we don't have children, but like seeing
34:12
Speaker 1: the way our mothers have like have had their friends
34:15
Speaker 1: like be in our lives and help us and the
34:17
Speaker 1: thea and is like literally having like this community of
34:21
Speaker 1: this network of women, it's really important for like like
34:24
Speaker 1: financial support like go mas have like thandas like they'll have, um,
34:29
Speaker 1: what's the word in English? Exactly Like they'll have like
34:32
Speaker 1: a like a cooperative type thing, and like they'll put
34:36
Speaker 1: like a hundred bucks each month and then one time
34:39
Speaker 1: this girl gets it, this movehead gets it, and so
34:41
Speaker 1: on and so forth, right, And that that kind of
34:43
Speaker 1: like informal economy is like really really important. And also
34:49
Speaker 1: if like women need to have money separate from their partners, yes,
34:55
Speaker 1: like if you're if you if a woman is married
34:58
Speaker 1: to a man, right, like do you want to on
35:00
Speaker 1: bank account? Like because you want him to know everything
35:02
Speaker 1: that you're spending, you know what I mean. He needs
35:04
Speaker 1: to know about all of your assets and prop whatever
35:07
Speaker 1: you have, whatever that you have. So having that kind
35:10
Speaker 1: of like informal support, well informal in the sense it's
35:13
Speaker 1: not like at a bank, right, That's what I mean.
35:16
Speaker 1: Like I think that that is also a really important
35:18
Speaker 1: part of survival that we don't always talk about. Um.
35:22
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about this the other day. Is
35:24
Speaker 1: like in the community at large, like the amount of
35:28
Speaker 1: currency that we have between us to survive, there's more
35:33
Speaker 1: of us than there is currency, right, what we end
35:36
Speaker 1: up doing. And I was just because within my own
35:39
Speaker 1: family and like looking at my mother and her mares
35:42
Speaker 1: and just like all of our lives. There's especially one
35:45
Speaker 1: woman that her daughter I went to Lilia. You know
35:49
Speaker 1: that I've known this girl since I wasn't like pre
35:52
Speaker 1: k um and till now to like lifelong friends and
35:56
Speaker 1: like other co mares right and their moms and my
36:00
Speaker 1: mom and like her co mothers would lend each other
36:03
Speaker 1: money all the time. Like there was a time where,
36:05
Speaker 1: like my parents did not have money for my sisters
36:08
Speaker 1: one semester one semester of her tuition. And you know
36:11
Speaker 1: how universities are, they don't give a funk. They'll lock
36:13
Speaker 1: you out of your door, out of your classes, like
36:15
Speaker 1: they'll drop you from classes and then you're dropped from
36:17
Speaker 1: the university. They'll lock you out of your dorm so
36:19
Speaker 1: your key card doesn't work. And my sister was going
36:21
Speaker 1: to school in New York at the time, and it
36:23
Speaker 1: was winter and so she like they had locked her
36:26
Speaker 1: out of her door, and they had locked out of
36:27
Speaker 1: the cafeteria. All this bullshit because of the tuition. One
36:30
Speaker 1: of my mom's called mothers like lent us money and
36:34
Speaker 1: like went without electricity in her house for like twenty
36:37
Speaker 1: four hours so that my parents could put money for
36:39
Speaker 1: my sister's tuition, and that's what it's been, back and forth,
36:43
Speaker 1: back and forth like that for years. And then now
36:47
Speaker 1: growing up, now that me and my sister are young adults,
36:50
Speaker 1: we see sort of the same trends happening between us
36:53
Speaker 1: and our friends. We help each other out because there's
36:57
Speaker 1: more of us than there are resource this, so we
37:00
Speaker 1: end up It's like when you have your bank accounts
37:02
Speaker 1: and you're constantly moving around money. I feel like in
37:05
Speaker 1: our communities, we're just always moving around right right right,
37:08
Speaker 1: just to cover this for today and then you'll get
37:10
Speaker 1: me back next week and now we're going to cover
37:12
Speaker 1: this absolutely. Yeah yeah, no, I mean and building off
37:16
Speaker 1: of that, like having that support, that social support, like
37:19
Speaker 1: to even like have like your kids be like babysat
37:23
Speaker 1: or like having your kids like they go to your
37:27
Speaker 1: house like or like the other person's house after school,
37:29
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So that there's like kind
37:31
Speaker 1: of like safety net. There's that support that's really important
37:34
Speaker 1: in our communities, and like we see that like that
37:36
Speaker 1: whole Like that's saying of like it takes a village,
37:38
Speaker 1: right like literally, it takes likes, it takes sisterhood, It
37:42
Speaker 1: takes the pimas like everybody like being involved and a
37:46
Speaker 1: lot of I feel like a lot of us are
37:47
Speaker 1: raised by like multiple people in our families because it
37:52
Speaker 1: is it is that kind of like, well, I cannot
37:54
Speaker 1: stay at home because I have to work, right, so
37:56
Speaker 1: I'm going to leave you with like your Nina, I'm
37:59
Speaker 1: gonna leave you with your with and so on and
38:01
Speaker 1: so forth. Absolutely, and childcare is expensive, yes, you know,
38:04
Speaker 1: so that's another sort of it's still in economic support. Absolutely.
38:08
Speaker 1: And I also love how mare and comrade are so
38:12
Speaker 1: similar in spelling, and I think that like when you
38:16
Speaker 1: take all these things into account, it's basically the same thing.
38:19
Speaker 1: It is you're surviving repression, right. And also like, okay,
38:25
Speaker 1: so if we want to move beyond like being in
38:28
Speaker 1: survival mode, right, and like we want to actually be
38:30
Speaker 1: thriving individuals, thriving women, thriving beings, Like you don't thrive
38:35
Speaker 1: by yourself, like you need your like comas, you need
38:39
Speaker 1: your home girls with you. I's not like are you
38:41
Speaker 1: really thriving? Are you really thriving? And you should want
38:44
Speaker 1: them with you too? Yeah. Absolutely, I think part of
38:46
Speaker 1: what I love, like we talked about, you know, like
38:50

38:52
Speaker 1: that it's become a place, whether in the comments section

39:01
Speaker 1: are becoming lovers or whatever it is. Yes, and yeah,
39:06
