She was singing and dancing a cumbia! That’s what she says, at least. (I read an article about it. 
)
To set the record straight: No, Sanchez wasn’t shouting into a void. She was actually singing a cumbia song, one of the most popular music genres in Argentina. That explains her arm gesturing off into the horizon.
“We dance cumbias that way,” Sanchez said. Unfortunately, she doesn’t quite remember which song was being played because “it just happened so long ago.”
As it too often happens, Sanchez was unsuspectingly caught in the background of someone else’s photo. About two months later, the photo’s actual subject uploaded it to Twitter and “captioned it something like, ‘When strangers mess up your photos,’ ” Sanchez recalled. Another person zoomed into the funny sight of Sanchez seemingly talking loudly to a guy with an utterly blank expression. And boom, a meme was born.
I think it’s behind a paywall, but it’s from this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/08/22/girl-explaining-meme-twitter-viral/

Thank you, I’ve taken great joy in sending that to my spouse who has a background in geography and is into D&D/fantasy and has complained to me in the past about shitty maps.
lol and now I got a lecture. “The first one is because river deltas deposit sediment, it builds up, the river pushes through it and deposits more sediment, and so on until it’s built out a sort of tunnel for itself. That one’s just people being people, that’s Army Corps of Engineers, that’s people being people naming stuff badly, I don’t know why they did that …yeah. It’s still not as bad as some fantasy maps though. ‘Let’s build a jungle right next to a desert!’ No.”

I often complain to husband about what effin ecosystem the neighborhood of make believe is supposed to be. Daniel, how do you have a stone fruit orchard, a beach, a sledding hill, etc all in your yard? And of course husband is like “it’s in the name love it’s make believe”

Hey we have one of these sunflowers right now! Our CSA farmer gave it to Latte to take home and plant. It’s now easily 12’ tall. He failed to mention it’s a “mammoth” variety that’s okay though, my garden plans this year were minimal and sad. Something other than weeds growing is a win.

What would your bank robber name be? I’m sure mine would be the Ope Bandit or something midwestern AF.

Mine would probably be The Smiler because I have a hard time not smiling at people even when I’m trying to be tough. Grammy taught me to be polite and friendly, always! It’s a hard habit to break.

The Shedder. Because I’d leave gobs of hair at the scene of every crime, accidentally, and then immediately get caught.

I feel like I’d be the “Awkward Bandit.” Clumsy, never know what to do in any situation, and have no street survival skills

OMG. Hahaha, I can’t imagine coming home to that. Cats aren’t usually super destructive but one time we accidentally shut him in our pantry and left the house for a couple of hours. Beans. Everywhere. He was so pissed and we felt awful, lol, but his tiny paws could not cause that level of destruction.

omg this is giving me flashbacks to my dog. She could not handle alone time in the house with no supervision. She ate and destroyed things I didn’t even know could be destroyed haha. Once I left her in a completely empty room, like with nothing but a bed and dresser, and she found a book that I didn’t know was under the bed and ate it. Like… in it’s entirety, she left the spine behind and that was it!
