Can someone help me make a twitter bot: respond "Did you know it's actually winter in Rio?" to every "Summer Olympics" tweet? Please DM me.

So... there's a lot of justification for why people want to call it the "Summer Olympics" even though it's winter in Rio.

Those of us who are actually from South America are almost used to the ways people from the US can only ever center the US.

When I say it's winter in Brazil, it's not a theoretical idea: it's based on a convo with my aunt who told me it was cold there on Saturday.

And yes, I also know cold is relative. 65 in New York is not the same as 65 in LA. It's also not the same as 65 in São Paulo.

But the fact of the matter is that it's winter in Brazil. It's a fact, and it's based on science. It's winter in Brazil. Full stop.

What y'all are doing in my mentions with "Well actually HERE'S why it's the Summer Olympics" is really a kind of cultural hegemony.

You're bending over backward to try to justify why, despite science and reality, it's ok to say it's summer in Rio -- even tho it's winter.

We can just call it the plain old Olympic Games. It's ok to do that. Not ok: tell me why we should call it summer. When it's winter.

Least fav response: YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT THIS OTHER THING IN BRAZIL. Bruh. I'm paying off the yellow fever care for my nephew.

SHOCKING: when it comes to Brazil, I can worry about clean water for my family and how ridiculous "summer" olympics sounds at the same time.
