death to televangelism/evangelical megachurches. genuinely. i hate them with every fiber of my being.

maybe i'll effortpost on this sometime

edit: added more points

A coworker came up to me and told me how great Michelle Obamas speech was at the DNC and I should watch. I can't believe they just publicly called me a lib.

My autistic cousin living in the US tells me that people will see his socially awkward behavior and immediately assume that he just doesn’t speak English. He says he prefers them assuming that over them making fun of him for being autistic.

That was one thing I hated about living in the US. I’m a big introvert and that was apparently enough for people to condescendingly say, “Hablo Ingles? Un poquito?”

Evolving past my desire to lose weight to find a partner and focusing on my true desire of looking like a Z fighter I feel I can pull off yamcha if I keep losing since I already got long hair and live in the desert

Watching travel videos about China, again. The yearning within me physically hurts.

I'm going on vacation tomorrow to a place I've never been before. I'm pretty sure the food and hotel will be on point, so I'm looking forward to that. I just hope its chill. Picked up some history books I want to read during the evenings. (All about the Byzantine Empire)

anyone know any reading lists for leftism in Grenada? (PRG, NJM, etc.)
the country's geopolitical history is so interesting to me (the music from Radio Free Grenada was how i learned about it) but the Wikipedia page gives off Western bias vibes and the main documentaries on Grenada at the time are extremely Western-biased and anti-communist, or are about (and in the perspective of) the US invasion of Grenada

On PTO and kinda sad my travel plans collapsed. But I'll make the most of it. Been wanting to check out some places around the city for food and new chilling spots to decompress.

I'm getting a masters in education and I'm feeling anxious about becoming a teacher. It's a spanish education degree as well. My dream is just to teach in a Latin American country and live there instead of the white suburb I live in now.

I'm looking into applying for a Fulbright scholarship (ew I know), I really don't want to live in this country any more than I have to, but also I also feel weird about leaving my comfort zone. I'm also still in undergrad because it's a double degree.

I wish I had a boyfriend who could be my life partner so I don't have to make these large life choices myself.

My sibling is telling me to get a minor in Computer Science and I feel like I just should if I ever want to switch careers.

Re-listening to the Hadestown soundtrack on repeat... I want to be discovering new music but it's stuck in my head.

Been fasting as a means to lose weight, been helping though it leaves me somewhere between hangry and sad.

Ever since someone called you "Anhel" I can't stop pronouncing your name the Spanish way in my head even though you said you're not latine. I'm sorry. I'm trying.

Telemarketers are learning, just heard one say my name how some of my relatives sound inflection and all

Managed to wake up set some beans to cook and now gonna head to the gym. Should be ready to eat when I get back

Sister has been telling my mom that apparently one of our aunts wants to pay her back for basically raising her and getting her through schooling back in mexico now that she's some sort of big shot manager in her field. My mom's conflicted because she didn't do it with the intent of getting anything since that's what family is for and like I get it. My mom always raised us by example so I can empathize with how she's feeling, the I'm gonna do this thing because someone needs help even if it sucks for me mentality. Don't know how much is codependancy at play since we all have trouble advocating for our needs tho.

I'm getting back into punk music after a long stint of listening to mostly goth/post-punk (in my alt/subculture side of listening, when I'm not repetitively listening to the music I liked as a teenager). Discovered some great tracks and remembered that I actually like this shit.

Couple of weeks back went to a used bookstore main draw at the time was it had a cat. Previously had gone to Boarders and while it was pretty lgbtq inclusive and I had no real issue with the staff some of the clientele sucked. Old white woman would be clutching her bag when I'm sitting down just trying to read wasn't even being slick about it. I was a couple of towns over and it wasn't far from an indoor farmers market so guess it should have been expected.

One more day of PTO and then its back to the mines. Time flew by and it really doesn't feel like I was able to get the mental rest I was hoping to. Hate this fucking grind.

Got a set of dominoes to play with family on the weekend, parents a huge fan of these kind of sit downs. Might get big sized loteria too though I swear we had some somewhere

Always feel weird whenever my parents be taking all these vitamin and supplements from mexico. I've no clue how effective they are since I don't take them and doctors here only really offer asprin etc
