This week Diosa and Mala dig into Chicano history and American history: Luis Valdez's groundbreaking play and film Zoot Suit, the 1943 Zoot Suit Riots, and the question at the center: who gets to call themselves American?

Together, they trace the Zoot Suit from a cross-cultural fashion statement into a symbol that made Mexican American youth targets of state and mob violence during World War II, and why that's so resonant today.

In the last few years a suffix took over the internet: "-maxxing"! First it was "looksmaxxing", then as all trends do, it multiplied! From fiber-maxxing, protein-maxxing, to beauty-maxxing, there's always room for self-improvement according to your algorithm. In this episode, Diosa and Mala dig into the internet origins of "-maxxing", how it jumped from niche forums into the mainstream, and why a simple suffix became apart of the cultural zeitgeist. Las Locatoras ask what this trend says about the current societal moment, self-improvement, and performance in late stage capitalism. Diosa and Mala also share how they're -maxxing their own lives.
