But I don’t WANT to eat a bowl of sugar free yogurt

“Maybe we shouldn’t go considering the price of gas,” he said last night as we were filling the tank “Maybe we should definitely go because it could’ve the last roadtrip for a while,” I replied 4:29 am: heading out on a short roadtrip to see the rally races

So… do y’all in the USA still have unchanged gas prices? Because our gas prices here in peru went up today by about 4 soles a gallon or more than $1.25, to around 16.50 soles for regular or about $5 US. We get diesel from Venezuela but gasoline from Iraq via Ecuador, in addition to Peruvian

I know it’s fashionable to disrespect the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Ottoman Empire. But these things worked out ok until they didn’t. For a longer period of time than, say, the United States of America

Anyway that theoretical laptop upgrade cash is just gonna go to medical bills and I’m totally salty about it because also waiting for lab results is like one of my biggest anxiety triggers

“But you don’t look diabetic” Lady I have thinning hair and dry skin with flaky patches I don’t know what other things look diabetic

One time I accidentally bit into a banana in the USA and I thought I was going to barf, but I forced myself to chew and swallow that bite. Here in Peru all our fruit is pretty good which is why we export it.

Me: Im just gonna buy a cheap second laptop so I can stop lugging mine around Also me: don’t you have one with a decent nvidia gpu and that isn’t an AMD chip? Listen life isn’t easy when you’re a nerd

The most responsible and ethical way to use AI is to not use AI.

The last sentence. People who fall for scams can’t be mad at themselves while their self-image is wrapped up in the scam, *even as the scam is falling apart*, because that means admitting a mistake and fallibility. So they HAVE to be mad at those who successfully avoided getting scammed.

30+ years ago bright eyed idealists like me thought the internet was not gonna be ruled by literal villains who are also dumbfucks, and i honestly miss those times.

This is one of my favorite indie stories because he catalogs life events, money made, prototypes, struggles, etc. It's represented of the majority of indie game developers www.gamedeveloper.com/business/my-...

My dad would have turned 81 today but alas instead he’s been dead for almost 22 years. In only 5 years I’ll be older than he lived to be. He was a scholar, athlete, teacher, builder, leader and so much more. He was the best dad ever and I miss him every single day.

I copped out on dinner and just ate 2 boiled eggs, some yogurt, and 2 strawberries lol

It’s a whole week of planned meals I swear Tonight I’m gonna make a burger patty with a beet and a sweet potato with an illicit slice of mango for dessert, and a whole 2.5L of cucumber mint lime infusion Breakfast another slice of mango, berries, yogurt, coffee Alt text for full

Okay I did it and even earned my cardio points for getting it all to the 5th floor But now my executive function can only fail me by refusing to put berries and yogurt in a bowl or saying tuna salad is too much to make See alt text for the thrill of 105 soles or about $31 US in fancy groceries

I need someone to make me get off my ass and go to the market so I can make healthy food choices instead of drinking another diabetic shake thing omfg

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

10 years apart The first one is from a day when I was in the hospital after my open cancer surgery. The second is last Tuesday, an ordinary day these days. I just keep putting one in front of the other, because I don’t have a better idea

So in November I decided to break up with everybody and not have people in my life Then in Dec and Jan I reconsidered because really total solitude is not what I crave And yet, despite the presence of people, fundamentally, I am in fact alone

I wish to report I have made it to mandatory mass on time but I did have to leave my car in a no parking zone but I hope since it’s Thursday in chinchero it’ll still be there when k get out. Otherwise… welp

Today in ridiculous arguments it’s the cast of the Eddie Murphy movie Norbit, in which I say Eddie Murphy plays multiple roles, and Eddie Griffin is not Wesley Snipes and Thandie Newton is not Zoe Saldana. I don’t argue unless I’m sure I’m right, btw.

I think one of my least favorite things about diabetes, not that I have any things that are actually favorite, is the way it can take weeks for cuts and scrapes to heal and I have to be hyperconscious of small ones, and put antibiotics and special creams and Band-Aids on everything

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

Just finished having an argument about whether or not vegan food has to be only raw and steamed All 3 people arguing with me insist it does so I’m losing the argument even though I’m right This is actually how my life usually works.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

TFW you were once a gamer girl and then you were a gamer mom and now you’re the gamer madrina who might as well be an abuela and you’re explaining to the 4 year old ahijado what’s a side scroller and a platformer and a first person shooter

Well the head of the hermandad of the virgen de Natividad de Chinchero called this morning to remind me that as the mayordoma of the comparsa Majeño I have to be at mass next Thursday So I have to get new traditional clothes made ASAP and I had forgotten

I am at the market and only had a large bill and the lady had to go get change so she gave me a choclo to eat while I wait lol

Godson: repeats something I said Me to his mom: you know what though that’s really good he can repeat that because I said it in English His mom: uh yeah you said it in Spanish Younger godson: si Abby estabas hablando español

Absolutely epic extreme thunderhail with cold cold rain and I just had to rescue the cat from under the table in the garden and wash the mud off him. He was clearly on patrol when it hit.

The Rodney King video is one of the most important moments in American history because it showed people, particularly comfortable white people, irrefutable evidence that marginalized people’s stories of how police behaved - which were never believed - were in fact true.

🎶 People in the United States have been getting treated this way the whole time 🎶 It’s not a boomerang, it‘s an expansion

It’s street food for dinner. Soup and lomo saltado to go.

Hemos ingresado con toda la familia turnando y solo nos falta un hipertenso para completar todos los restringidos para visitar a la paciente

Much to their grandfather’s chagrin I have just instructed my young godsons in the English art of asking who farted and saying it’s pee-yew stinky gross I maintain they need to know this to talk with kids their age in English

Coincidentally ran into Wheeljack at the mechanic today #transformers #cusco

Monday morning: they can’t find the key to the padlock for the parking area and the spare is apparently not working so tennis lessons will start late

Also like… doing the thing is often its own reward because we do things we enjoy. And then when you do them well you have a sense of achievement and pride and it feels good.

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home

Watching news about the USA as a US citizen who has emigrated to another country is just getting weirder and harder to take every single day.

We don't exist in the same reality in this country. Never really have. Here's something I wrote in 2013 about what police in Chicago do to young Black and Brown people REGULARLY: www.usprisonculture.com/2013/02/19/o...

There is this woman in a Facebook group who insists driving in peru is exactly the same as driving in the USA And for her that’s probably true because she’s one of those drivers who shouldn’t be on the road anywhere and are a danger to others

Me: I wanna rock and roll all night 4 year old godson who is learning English: and party every day madrina Seriously he’s a big Kiss fan

Precisely. It shouldn’t surprise me that the same people who’ve spent a lifetime unsure if their caps lock key is on actually seem to believe LLMs are engaging in reason.

One of my fixations is history. And one thing we see in all history is when Bad Times Come, having good shoes and a good jacket saves people's lives. A lot of lives. What Bad Times? Varies. Always does. Those two things, not so much.

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.

Yeah I totally remember saying Love Actually sucked and so did the new form of La Migra
