reflecting on various topics
I had a realization when I woke up this morning. It probably will sound very naive. My realization is that I’ve idealized a certain version of integrity in which all layers of a person match. It’s not a bad thing. My realization is that it isn’t the only way that is genuine or that is …
(it’s me. I’m writing this for me) step one– figure out who they are: step two– pick a reasonable number. step three– cut and paste their websites into a place on your PC or phone where it’s easy to find them. Could be the Notes app on an iPhone. I use a draft in my …
Yesterday, Julie Turkewitz, Tibisay Romero, Sheyla Urdaneta and Isayen Herrera published‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison in the NYTimes (link). It is very important and excellent reporting. What has happened is absolutely revolting, not only with the people who were deported and imprisoned unjustly in El Salvador, but also what is …
I want to talk a little bit about the music from Tango Feroz, which is a movie I am embarrassed to have never watched, but want to! I’ve been heavily influenced by the soundtrack. I first encountered it when I was 18 because my Spanish teacher asked me to bring it back with me when …
Atticus’ Anthem was a little bit vulnerable for me to post on the internet. anyway hi and I hope you’re having a good Sunday! I’m enjoying some bread with cream cheese, which is a treat. For a while I couldn’t eat cream cheese. Now I can again. How wonderful! I don’t know, I might run …

you really shouldn’t listen to this. I’m just figuring out how to use Audacity still. I just sit on my bed because otherwise I’ll stress out and I just need to have fun. Computer built-in mic. There are plenty of mistakes. Would be better if I used a keyboard or a metronome or something but …
I read the news and it’s all so bad! 🙁 Everything is bad. 🙁 What to do? For me it’s calling/emailing my reps. It feels pathetic. I know that when many do this, it isn’t meaningless, though. (If it might help, here is a post with a possible strategy). I’m asking for removal of Trump …
Hi. I hope you’re doing ok. The weekend is here! I thought I’d share part of this morning’s gratitude journal. It’s kind of surprising to me how much it lifts me to write. Today was basically job-search related things, housing-search related things, laundry. Tonight I made a small fleet of rabbits. Here are the instructions …
I made a mistake. I talked about religion. Talking about religion is always a bad decision for me. THE THING IS the thing is the thing is that it’s why I’m in in pain. and I have to name it. it’s what has hurt the men. it’s what hurt the one I partnered with. it’s …
