One Day At A Time - Tumblr Posts

You wanna know what’s homophobic? The fact that while watching dancing with the stars, right before my favourite performer Justina Muchado from One day at a time, the show cuts to a trump video. By the time it’s back to the show the whole dance is done. I google her dance so I can catch up, and she danced to the song Take me to church by Hozier.

Come on this seems too coincidental lol

Okay I am fucking TIRED of the trope where the estranged father comes back to see his family and gets the son some piece of tech that’s super current and amazing but then gets the daughter like a Barbie and is like “there ya go squirt” like it’s old and boring. Why wouldn’t he get two tech things? It just feels off to me

The Scary Jokes

Worriers 

One Day At A Time Did THAT™

deals with how the impact of colorism as it intersects with racial prejudice via the contrast of alex’s experiences with racism and xenophobia vs. elena’s (because she is white passing). BONUS: when elena is annoyed that she ‘passes’ her family reminds her oppression isn’t aspirational or virtuous 

acknowledges that latinx people are not one shade/one race, that latinx can be white passing, black and brown and are still latinx

deals with racism within and between latinx ethnicities, generations, and races 

introduces, explains and utilizes preferred pronouns in a respectful way (elena’s gf is non-binary and consistently refered to as they/them)

elena alvarez, awkward lesbian latina queen embodies the Gay Struggle in finding a gf

but also we see her confront her father’s homophobic negligence and no he does not get redeemed, but elena gets closure 

DEALS WITH THE HARMFUL HYPOCRITICAL CULTURE OF GUN VIOLENCE

represents the nuanced and traumatic impact of mental health stigma in ethnic communities when penelope goes off her meds so she doesn’t scare away her new partner. we see penelope break down without it being romanticized. we also see her mother, lydia, come to accept her daughter’s struggle with mental illness and support her and there’s a beautiful scene between pen and schneider too

showcased the flaws, bias and hypocrisies in the immigration office of the usa through lydia’s and schneider’s parallel journies to gaining american citizenship

donald trump is gonna get vitamin d deficiency from all the shade thrown at him this season tbh

represents the struggles in romantic relationships at different ages and stages in life through elena with syd, penelope and max and lydia with leslie

there’s a whole episode where this show takes a dump on the elitism of movie theatres when penelope teaches alex how to go to the movies without spending a fortune by smuggling food

elena and schneider learning spanish!

alex and elena’s super sweet sibling bond that grows and is so strong that alex was meeting up with their dad in secret to drag his cis-genered homophobic ass

deals with post 9/11 military movements

RITA MORENO IS EVERYTHING

justina machado gives the most incredibly genuine, nuanced, amazing performance i have EVER seen in a sitcom. the episodes where she’s struggling with ptsd and the finale are STAGGERING and she’s also fkn hilarious

positive rep for latinx family on an internationally broadcast platform??? THATS A BIG YES 

Hey, ok? You're probably not ok if you got bad news but are you getting by? Do you want to vent or want us to ask about it? Sometimes that helps I think

One step at a time, one day at a time, ok?

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

This is so sweet, thank you.

I am indeed getting by.

I usually try not to share too many personal details online, but since I’m struggling a bit with this, I figure yelling into the void (tumblr lol) might help.

Below is some discussion of medical issues (absolutely no obligation for anyone to continue reading, especially if the topic makes you uncomfortable. Please don’t forget to take care of yourselves too <3)

Yesterday, I visited a new specialist who did some testing due to a recent autoimmune diagnosis of mine. I have been dismissed a lot in the past, so I usually go in expecting test results to be normal. This time, I was wrong.

Apparently, I have moderate pulmonary obstruction, that I’ve just…never noticed?? I guess between disabling POTS and the tendency to convince myself symptoms are all in my head, shortness of breath must not have concerned me.

(Yeah, that’s about as concerning as it sounds)

So, yay, more testing.

Best case scenario, I have asthma (never thought I’d be hoping to have asthma lol). Worst case scenario, there is disease activity in my lungs, courtesy of my wonderful immune system. There is also a possibility of vocal cord dysfunction, but I don’t know much about that.

I already live with a plethora of health issues, but this one just caught me off guard. It hits harder when you’re not expecting it, and quite frankly it’s a little scary.

Whatever I find out, though, I will continue to get by. Not my first rodeo, and definitely not my last.

Either way, at least I always have Hero and Villain to project onto if I get overwhelmed LMAO.

I think this helped, thank you anon for checking in on me.

I rewatched all (meaning seasons 1-3) of One Day At A Time, because I finished The Horror Of Dolores Roach and needed more Justina Machado. Penelope and Victor's fight at the end of Hurricane Victor has such KCFH vibes in retrospect. Earlier in the episode (and in flashbacks in season 2) it shows how well they used to work by dialing up the corny sitcom antics. Like, the stalling for Alex's recital is corny even for ODAAT. Then when they get into a fight because Victor lied about being sober, Victor makes a corny little aside joke that would normally get a studio audience laugh. There's a serious moment in every episode but the little jokes still get a studio audience laugh. Even Schneider gets laughs when joking about his old failed attempts at sobriety. But while Schneider jokes in a more reflective way, Victor makes a joke to deflect, and both the studio audience and Penelope shut it down. There's no laughs in the entire scene, and the episode ends in silence.

THANK YOU ONE DAY AT A TIME FOR 3 YEARS FULL OF LIFE AND LOVE [x]

“There’s got to be another way to feel happy.”

“So it’s Fourth of July 2011, I’ve been sober for a while, so I thought I’d celebrate. With a beer. I woke up three days later in an alley. […] That was the day I truly accepted that I can’t have alcohol or drugs, ever. Not a beer, not a glass of wine, […] so I kind of get where you’re coming from. There’s something I want that I can’t have for the rest of my life. And there’s something you don’t want that you have to have for the rest of yours.”

warrior nun cancelled. first kill cancelled. paper girls cancelled. one day at a time cancelled. the owl house cancelled. im not okay with this cancelled. legacies cancelled. everything sucks cancelled. the babysitters club cancelled. dare me cancelled. i know what you did last summer cancelled. teenage bounty hunters cancelled. the wilds cancelled.

the attitude held towards sapphic media is clear and honestly just appalling. im so sick of this treatment we deserve better than this.

See, this is why we do tests and trial runs. Because there’s ALWAYS something that I get wrong. One thing at a time I suppose.

I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF FOR DRAWING THIS

Treat yourself with kindness.

You’re a work in progress. Your best is yet to come. All we have is now.

One moment at a time. Don’t sell yourself short. Motivation and action are the key. Which looks different for everyone.

Action and recovery have to come first. Take care of yourself.

Praying for simplicity, motivation, and success for you. Whoever needs it. Fuck the annoying toxicity be you reguardless of what so and so had to say. 😤🙄
