I've gotten tacos from there multiple times and they have normal sized portions, but I think it's something about burritos that makes them so easy to supersize πŸ˜‚

I am in the land of spam musubi and I'm thankful for the culinary innovation that produced it!

I got a $15 burrito a few days ago that was bigger than many adult cats I've petted 😭 It took me four sittings to finish

It's a little annoying to admit that a Patagonia jacket on sale is actually really worth the price

Yeah I need big city life, lots of options for things to see/do, and lots of people out on the streets. Even Seattle feels too small TBH.

Oh I lived in the Midwest in the 90s but haven't been back since. But except for Chicago the cities are too small for me haha

Seattle has its charms and it's home base till I finish my Masters but it wouldn't be in my top 3 choices of US cities to live in TBH. Also too many dudes here.

Haha I'm not a fan of rainy weather or dark skies, but I do like the thick forests here. I don't like how cold and unfriendly the local culture is either... Summer is great tho! I'm back to my India wardrobe which is something I was waiting to do :)

Tomorrow's going to be my first day with 30 degree weather since moving to the US. Wild!

Something I like about life in the US is that it's pretty easy to be the best dressed dude in any given room 98% of the time (ok maybe not in NYC)

I don't think it does, I think it just disperses and is lost forever. We saw this with Mastodon too.

I agree in principle but like how much advocacy can one do? And I can only suggest it to friends. Twitter has years of networks built in that can't be replicated so easily.

I wish I could break my habit of turning to Twitter when I want to engage with a larger audience outside just my friends. But no other platform matches its reach, or crucially, its diversity really. Bluesky is too American!!

I still remember my experience dining at O Pedro, BKC (Bombay) very fondly.

I wish North America were smaller so I could visit my friends more often :( Plus most people I know are on the East coast or closer to it. I

Slowly, steadily, I'm making friends I can hang out with in the gloomy city of Seattle. "Community" however, remains elusive.

I have a class on XML based tools in the digital humanities in the coming quarter. I'm excited for it! This is going to be my first forays into formal training for digital tools.

Take a shot every time you hear a white person say "am I saying that right"

If you enjoy a writer, artist, or any creative, please tell them you liked their work while they are still here. It will inspire them to keep creating & following their passion while they can.
