Ah ok 😅

My cat gets like this all the time and we live in a Caribbean country. She’s probably cold-sensitive, I guess.

It’s hardly related, but I once had a nightmare that I was back to high school and had to take an exam on integrals, but since I didn’t know anything I just repeated to the teacher (who strangely was my college teacher) that I was an arts student.

When I woke up, I asked my friends who were studying engineering what integrals were, none of them gave me a satisfactory answer, so to this day I still have no idea what they are.

Cats can’t read Hegel nor Nietzsche, so I say no, they can’t experience existential dread.

Use Mastodon be like

I mean, the x-ray thing was just a random example, but okey 🤷

My family has a history of blood pressure problems, so my mother, in order to keep control, has had to buy a couple of devices to measure her blood pressure, which she also uses with my father and grandmother.

I just think it’s fantastic that such devices already exist and are so affordable. It makes me wonder if maybe in a handful of years we will have the ability to do x-rays at home and things like that, it would be great.

Funnily enough, this still holds up in Spanish.

Hablo español de forma nativa. I can read, write and understand by ear English, but I refuse to speak it because the pronunciation rules of English are shit.

I can easily picture so many funny accident with that confusion 😂

At the very least, at the very least…! But no 😕

Don’t know why the contrast between Portugal and Spain is so funny to me.

When making rice at home and if there is still some left over after eating, what I do is compact it as best I can and put it in the Air Fryer. It turns out very crispy and pretty cool.

They grew up in a different era, and as people get older it’s harder for them to let go of backward ideas. Even my mother, a fervent feminist, from time to time makes transphobic comments that are born more out of ignorance than anything else. Sometimes she seems to understand and other times she doesn’t seem to want to understand. My father, on the other hand, is also generally a good person, but his machismo and homophobia are very strong. One day he had said that he would rather shoot himself if he found out that any of his children were Gay, that phrase still haunts me and prevents me from being more open with my bisexuality. I love him dearly, but he is far from perfect. I don’t know what my grandmother’s political views are, but she has always come across as loving and receptive. She taught me to Crochet even though I was a man, she insisted that I pay no attention to anyone who told me it was a woman’s thing. Despite this, she is a simple woman and very disconnected from the outside world, and from what my mother has told me, there was a time when she was terrible. Old people are… Complicated.

Believe me, even with more parties, politicians would manage to monopolize the attention of voters by assimilating smaller parties into “coalitions”. Take for example my country Venezuela, there are supposed to be about 30 parties, but half of them were consumed by the PSUV (the ruling party) and the other half are barely creating an opposition coalition, bringing us closer to bipartisanship.

A good hobby does wonders to keep you distracted enough to have the time to heal and move forward. If it’s something creative (Painting, writing, dancing, singing, playing an instrument, creating a map for Doom) is better. Work on yourself, Eat what you like, listen to what you like, dress as you like, keep yourself clean, and keep in mind that is not your fault, there’s nothing wrong with you and things just happens, that’s all.

To be engaging and genuine. I think there’s a lot of ways to achieve it, but it depends on the story and the public, because some may see too idyllic relationships as unrealistic and others may see more down-to-earth relationships as toxic.

There’s way too much idealistic romance in pop culture to the point that I believe it skews how many people expect relationships to work.

I can’t agree more to this.

I think we need more popular depictions of realistic romance […] ESPECIALLY close, tight-knit non-sexual friendships between men and women.

Totally on board with that. I’ll keep it in mind more seriously.

Holy crap! That’s an excellent idea! And it fits wonderfully with how I plan the personalities of the protagonists would be! Thank you so much!

When you try to read some Warhammer 40k lore and those things get in the way, it’s hard not to want to send an Exterminatus to those who created them.
