Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

Imagine living in a place where the wild cat population hasn't been drastically reduced and pushed further from population centres to the point where seeing a single one gets in the local news.

outdoor-cat but what if he wants to become a native species tho

That's it, I'm taking up my friend's offer to come live in Brazil just so I can ethically own an outdoor cat.

(This is only partly joking it's something I am legit considering for plenty other reasons but crashing at their apartment on the beach in Sao Paulo is pretty damn enticing)

If you're talking about the city, São Paulo dosen't have beaches, but Santos have and is pretty close

I may have misspoke a bit I believe they live in Sao Paulo but also someone in their family has an apartment on the coast I could move into

My native wild cats are endangered tho. I've seen them in a wildlife reserve tho, very perched very floofy
