Let's get you home

stephsellsseattle Sometimes it’s exhausting being an “aware” person, am I right? The fact that there’s barely a snowpack across the globe has me ready to stock up on air filters, and rain barrels. I absolutely love the sunshine we’ve been having, while acknowledging that it’s still quite concerning. The good news is that precipitation is on the way, and hopefully we’ll get some Winter. I’m also considering new landscaping/hardscaping with climate change and fire seasons in mind. From the Department of Natural Resources for Washington State: “Studies show that as many as 80 percent of homes lost to wildland fire may have been saved if brush around the homes were cleared and defensible space created around structures.” It’s also important to consider drought-resistant landscaping, hardscaping/Xeri scaping, and reconsidering having Arborvitae on your property. I’ve only recently learned how flammable arborvitae is! #FireSeason #FirePreventionSeattle #PNWLiving #LoveYourPNWLife

stephsellsseattle How your email will find me during the Super Bowl 😂 I’m a “no sabo kid” because my Grandparents wanted to assimilate and didn’t teach my mom & her siblings to speak Spanish. But that doesn’t make me any less Hispanic, and it doesn’t make me appreciate my heritage and culture any less. I may not know what @badbunnypr is saying, but I know how it makes me feel, and I’m gonna be dancing my ass off during the game and cheering for our team. Go @seahawks! ——————- “No Sabo Kid” / a young Latino person, often in the U.S., who isn’t fluent in Spanish, based on the common mistake of saying “no sabo” (incorrect conjugation) instead of “no sé” (I don’t know). It’s a cultural label, sometimes used playfully, sometimes critically, for those of Hispanic descent who struggle with Spanish, highlighting generational language loss but also serving as a way for many to reclaim and explore their cultural identity on their own terms. Key aspects of the “No Sabo” identity: Cultural identity: It describes people of Hispanic heritage who may not speak Spanish due to parents prioritizing English, historical suppression of Spanish, or assimilation into American culture. Social phenomenon: On platforms like TikTok, the hashtag #NoSaboKid has millions of views, with users sharing experiences, joking about mistakes, and discussing language barriers within their own communities. Reclamation: Many “No Sabo Kids” are embracing the term to connect with their heritage, learn Spanish as adults, and challenge the idea that language fluency is the sole measure of being Latino.
