The tlacoyo is part of the Mexican gastronomy originating in the center of the country and dates back to before the arrival of the Spaniards to the American territory.
A closer look at three tlacoyos in a plate Together with sopes, huaraches and gorditas, tlacoyos are similar traditional Mexican snacks, made with corn, beans and chili, which are not only healthy but also delicious!
In particular, the tlacoyo consists of a kind of oval pie made of nixtamalized blue corn that can be filled with different foods of vegetable or animal origin, such as beans, lima beans, green peas, chicharrón or cottage cheese.
At the moment of serving, cream, cheese, salsa, nopales, onion and cilantro are usually added.
It is believed that tlacoyo was used by the indigenous people of Mesoamerica as "itacate" when they made long trips.
Its name comes from the Nahuatl tlaoyo which means "shelled corn patty".
In tlaolli it means "dried corn kernels" and in tlacualli it means "food".
Tlacoyos are a dish of pre-Hispanic origin that originally had no dairy ingredients, such as cream or cheese, which were incorporated after the arrival of the Spaniards. However, it is believed that the rest of the ingredients are preserved as they were originally prepared, handmade and cooked on a comal.

My company tried to transition us to Teams and there was such a massive backlash that they let us stay on Slack
My favorite part is that no matter what settings I select, it refuses to give me notifications if the window isn't open. Very convenient and innovative.
I have officially entered my joker era :marx-joker:
My company just shared how much money the department I belong to is generating for the company: 7 million
Guess how much of that we're getting? Not even 1% :agony-limitless:
lmao It's just baffling to see it laid out in front of you
Of course, it would only really make an impression if you had some semblance of class consciousness
I guess I phrased that wrong.
7 million is brought in by my department alone
So all 50 of us should be getting at least 80K each (if not more)
Company is a firm believer in the Dan Price strategy of "paying workers what they're worth", but that doesn't seem to keep them from stealing more than would ever be possible by taxes :soviet-hmm:
My mom, bless her soul, when I explained to her how much she generates for the company and how little of it she gets in return.
Indeed! I use this line of logic a lot when talking to people about unionizing. Certain types of workers (mostly PMC) workers think of themselves as being paid "well enough", but they still make a small fraction of what their labor product is sold for.
People really really really don't understand that they're being ripped off by the sheer fact they work for a wage and no matter how much a wage goes up, it isn't actually 'enough '
knowing when to disengage for your own sake is also a form of praxis. one of the ways the status quo puts down radicals is through emotional exhaustion and information overload. stay informed, and stay passionate, but know when the time to turn off the politics part of the brain is needed so it can cool off
Just FYI, Grover Furr conciders the first kotkin book to be quite accurate with not much needing correction. It's just the other two books dealing with Stalin's time as leader that veers off historical fact and into anti-communist fiction
If you want annoying and hilarious, during the Civil War section, kotkin constantly rags on the Reds for having commissars, being forced to expropriate food to feed the red army, and generally being a messy bitch during its fight to survive then mentions quickly that literally all the factions are also doing the exact same thing (and worse before moving on with little elabotation). He even calls Alexander Kolchak "a man of Valor and patriotism" (also heaps praise on other counter-revolutionary figures of the civil war in contrast to how he always smears the communists) while quietly slipping in that Kolchak's favorite book was "reputed to be" the protocols of the elders of zion.

:meow-tankie: my kitty so fucking smart. When I toss her a toy she doesn't attack, she runs to a strategic hiding spot and finds her moment
RIP to me I guess.
I've got COVID.
Fucking idiot family wouldn't listen to a single piece of advice I gave about minimising the spread.
Now I've got COVID the same week I have a bunch of assignments due.
You can't even begin to comprehend how pissed off I am right now
oof. I got alpha covid way back in the day. I don't wanna know what these new strains are like. swift recovery, inshallah
I donated $10 to bernie in 2018 and my email still hasn't fucking recovered. Fuck you Bernie I didn't want to get emails from every lib running for office.
Imagine thinking women rule the world because they were allowed to join the boy's club of politics and business and continue upholding patriarchy. Imagine being such a baby brain that you can't recognize symbolic power versus real power. Imagine not understanding how the world works and that men are very much still running the show.
I close my eyes, I imagine. I open my eyes, I see. I am become bazinga brain
i fucking hate america. i was having back issues and i had to call out, so they gave me a verbal warning, about a month ago. now i have a sinus infection, and i'm getting a warning letter because i have to call out. and i got the sinus infection at work, because someone was forced to come to work sick because they didn't want to get a warning letter.
absences aren't excused due to medical conditions or with a doctors note, unless you are eligible for FMLA, which has a year long employment requirement. so now that i've gotten employee health insurance, if i need to actually use any of it, i'll be disciplined at my job for not being there that day.
fuck america.
i feel like a really unspoken thing about the bottom rungs of the working class is that are you basically held hostage at work unless you have lost a limb or are visibly in extremely poor health
when I worked fast food my manager had morning sickness and she would puke in the garbage can next to the drive thru cash register in between orders
this same manager basically held me hostage once when I had (developed) pneumonia because we were so short staffed that me leaving early would have fucked her shift
i had a huge oil burn on my chest once and just worked through it because I was the only cook working that day loool
love america
honestly the USA when you get out of the manicured suburbs and tech enclaves of the city is a complete fucking zoo. Just pure unbridled chaos. Lol...
Start looking for a new job, whether they fire you or not. People shouldnt need to deal with this shit.
it's a union job where i get paid decent and have decent medical benefits though. i'm just going to force myself to get to a year on the job so i can get fmla and be able to take off when i have to.
it's just fucked up the hoops you have to jump through to actually get to that point. in a lot of other countries if you're sick you just don't have to go to work, and you don't have to pay a bunch of loot to go to the doctor.
