A Tattoo in someone's legs. It's 1312.

Someone in the middle of the protest. Her scarf says Alegre Rebeldía. So Happy Rebellion.

Today is women's day. We had a protest in Guayaquil. These are some of the photos I took.

I should charge gringos who even dare to speak to me honestly.

A random middle age gringo just called me bonita and I'm like man your wife is in the other room receiving chemo. Like wtf.

Lo odio

i'm gonna switch to english because i'm not sure how to convey this is my broken swedish lmao but i think the secret is community. like, amongst all the chaos that we're living in my side of the world, i am still trying to see some friends every monday and embroider together.

hmm, nej, det är dangerous (lol) för dig

Jag vet att det är dumt, men somehow (?) jag är arg på Sverige för att de inte lät mig stanna det.

No, honey, you can't have any Ecuador... You haven't finished your Iran yet

i'm so tired

time's cover today with 8 red flags with the phrase "make ____ great again". the countries listed are iran, venezuela, nigeria, ecuador, syria, iraq, somalia and yemen.

i'm in this picture and i don't like it

Tragic: woman wants spinach and sesame oil for breakfast and there's no spinach at home.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 3290126:
Vary the lengths of your sentences. Short sentences create impact. Longer ones are for when you want to introduce a lyrical note. Don't make them too long, though; it can be confusing, and your audiobook reader needs to breathe...

A collection of all the embroideries on the table

Pronto llegará

My cat embroidered.

So, I forced some friends to embroider with me

would you hire me for your evil capitalist corporation?

Olivia Laing, El jardín contra el tiempo.

He estado leyendo esta colección de ensayos de una señora arreglando su jardín y no sabía que me podía conmover tanto con plantitas.

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Why do you even have a competition authority at this point. Can we call the federal trade commission??

Today at the gym not only did the trainer tell me that I'm stronger than before, she also high-fived me.

Am I better than everyone else????

The last couple of days two separate people have pointed out that my accent in English is changing a bit and after thinking about it, I realized I might be a victim of colonization again thanks to @thehistocrat.bsky.social.

My calico cat, sleeping

The same really cute calico cat

I'm trying to convince her she should pay rent. It has been four years.

Succesfully brainwashed @thehistocrat.bsky.social to watch the Before Trilogy with me (I have to watch the Rocky trilogy in exchange)

I have now tricked @intelectualoide.bsky.social into watching Rocky I and II with me but the real question is can I manage to get her to watch Rocky III?

It's the first day of my period, it's raining like hell and I still woke up at 5am to go to the gym. Someone please gimme the Nobel prize or something.

Ate a cassava tortilla for breakfast, so nothing can go wrong today.

what does it mean if this applies word for word to my life but instead of archeology is neocolonial supply chain and instead of bsky is LinkedIn?

It feels bittersweet to hear the whole "hate is combated by love" thing. Part of me wants to ignore it and just burned everything, but living in a country where the social fabric is constantly being threatened by fear, creating community with our neighbors has shown me this is somewhat true.

The world and the future seem extremely bleak today. I have no choice but comfort myself in the idea I still can love and some will love me back.

me to the gym's trainer: I have been gaining a lot of weight lately and I don't know what's wrong

her without even blinking: have you considered that's the result of living with someone going through chemo, someone with Alzheimer's and living in one of the most dangerous cities of the region?
