Por eso digo...

It has been the hardest day in a while and I'm not being an asshole with myself for not being enormously enough. I prefer to congratulate my neurons and accept my anxiety. Tonight, it's all about a vigorous gym session to get those endorphins flowing.

What stands out about the celebrations in Mexico City isn't the party itself, but the confidence you see in everyone involved. Most people think this happens only because of the World Cup, but this is the essence of Mexican complaisance.

No para de llover y la Ciudad podría volver a estallar por la noche.

I feel like I'm caught in the paradox of psychological duality. On the one hand, I like to see my people happy, and on the other hand, I am frustrated to see some, who are also my people, desperate. I think we are all a bit between fear and celebration.

¡Cuánto peso se quita uno de encima cuando le dicen a uno que su artículo fue aprobado para publicación! Más que celebrar, descansas.

I see everyone in an intense mood for any single daily subject, even resting. You're not robots dudes! Calm down and be spontaneous. #AsHumanAsYouAre

Nada como sacar los traumas de la infancia con cardio y un coach medio sádico.

I love when you are writing an essay and suddenly realize that the core of your research is somewhere else than you thought at first. At that moment, I called it a 'just in time' realization.

Finally, I am recovering from my intense mental crisis. Indeed, now that my first bad fall is fading, I realize that each stumble became a powerful enhancement to my own growth.

"I shouldn't say this, but I'm going to say it because I truly believe it. If somebody vetoes me because I believe in democracy, because I believe in multilateralism, because I believe in women's rights, because I believe in human rights, I will be honored." — Michelle Bachelet

Todo está tenso en la Ciudad de México, entregados sus servicios y lugares públicos a merced. Ojalá se alcance a entender que el turismo tiene que convivir para no coptar. Disfruten su día, mañana se van.

Ya que se acabe el Mundial.

In the last couple of weeks, I've been thinking I might be at the end of my rope, to be honest, with colleagues who rather throw tantrums instead of stepping up in their own jobs.

Find your own kind of satisfaction, otherwise you will be seeking for someone else's dream without noticing it. This is not advice, it's a clue for life.

I'm not that into 'leaving the office after several continuous hours' unless heavy rain forces me.

Now I have to schedule specific morning gaps to finish my research. Wish me luck!

Don't jump into conclusions during an empowerment conversation. Hear everything and make your points at the end. Take my advice.

Mexico City holds a special place in my heart, and one cannot truly defend any cause without loving it. To all tourists: Note that despite the city's chaos, it is dearly loved by everyone. Please be kind and let's share it together, if you don't mind.

It's great to know that golden-agers are eager to use social media. They've found a way to reach new generations and to transmit their passions.

Without citizen participation, social advocacy on public policies raises suspicion and straddles the line between lobbying and established legal frameworks. To prevent corruption, fostering dialogue among authorities, communities and stakeholders is crucial for a legitimate effect.

Conmocionado y triste por la partida de Raúl Pacheco-Vega, una profunda pérdida para la comunidad académica de la FLACSO México. Mis condolencias a su familia y amigos. Descansa en paz Dr.

Little by little I'm becoming a sincere and crazy zany, going to the world to make peaceful and humorous reminders of reality. I dream about that day.

Friendship between men has to be built from coincidence, empathy and common interests, not from rivalry, violence and derision. Decency in masculinity is underrated.

No confío en las personas que en español se refieren a Estados Unidos como 'USA'.

I don't hate football, I just can't bear the multiple forms that this market-based 'passion' is shaping the city's services and liberties.

How crucial it is to create counter-narratives that offer alternatives to violence, discrimination, and disinformation, especially when dehumanization is on the rise!

Nothing can be more damaging than deep disappointment, which stems from unrealistic expectations, not anyone's fault. I intend to lower mine, it's merely prevention.

Que no se pierda la bonita costumbre de esperar con ansia el viernes y de anhelar con frenesí desenmascarar nuestro anonimato.

I'd rather not critique qualities that aren't mine. In Mexico we say: "Lo que te choca te checa" and it implies that you will possess in yourself the traits you most dislike.

I think the gap between climate justice and comprehensive climate actions is narrowing. Adaptations that consider people's needs will totally replace greenhouse gas mitigation as the central focus of future policies.

"Nuestro diálogo construye paz". Ojalá trascendiera, es lógico pero muy necesario repetir. A veces no nos damos cuenta de lo obvio y toleramos lo diferente en lugar de celebrarlo. Hasta que la humanidad se haga costumbre.

I'm really tired of cronyism in the office. Never professional, always childish.

Indeed, craziness is escalating in Mexico City for the FIFA World Cup; however, this is due to unfinished infrastructure adaptations that strain city services.

Delighted to see Hannah Arendt quoted by Leo XIV in his first encyclical letter!

Hoy tiene un brillo particular. Foto sin filtros.

Holy demonstrations Batman!

Ha sido un día lo suficientemente estable para el estudio y lo debidamente productivo para el trabajo.

I really like this quote by Otto von Bismarck: "Beware of the man who only sees disorder in the noise and peace in the silence." I imagine he referred to the heap of junk that some of his contemporaries had in mind. It also applies today, but globally.

Es complicado construir narrativa política enajenada del llamado 'storytelling'. La conexión con las emociones personales es un gancho efectivo, que se arraiga a la memoria y útil para recalcar mensajes.

Hacer esperar también es una forma de poder, aunque demuestra que el autoritarismo por preferencia es efectivo ante una sociedad desordenada.

Desperate, unrecognizable and non-violent... that's my mood today. Enough for a Wednesday and enough for an April. I've been here before and I'm not accepting crumbs.

Great twist in this endless climate story. Please read:

I'm still getting emotional when I've gotten new followers. Thank you. I promise I will be posting more.

Happy Mardi Gras!

I'm delighted to notice that the common named as "spoiler alerts" are now necessary to attract anyone's interest in a topic. Honestly it's easier and less tense to know what's going to happen. We need to normalize it.

Más de 120 mil toneladas de basura diaria en México y todavía se preguntan si es necesario cambiar el modo lineal de producción y consumo.

Is the easy-going-sloppy self-image still cool?

Great view of the City monsters from the sky...
