Vive la France! & let's do the same.

Why is the pundit class so desperate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

Llega el finde y me pega alta depresión de no tener amigos acá. Creo que al final, es el único motivo por el que me quiero mudar a NY. El resto son excusas. Bueno, mi marido está ahí, es la mejor excusa.

Trump is old AND crazy. And could barely past a test 5 years ago. Go and demand h to prove himself a valuable candidate.

Hello psyops, we see you www.bbc.com/news/article...

This. The media -pro or against right wing- love to support the Cheeto for the clicks. Let’s start to own that.

1) they are private companies that are kept alive by ad sales, which require views and clicks. There's no conspiracy needed, Trump is controversy, and while he was in office, media viewership soared. After Biden came into office, it plummeted. Simple as.

A smart move would be Hillary as vicepresident. This way Biden is still there, but people that wouldn’t vote for him, would feel safe to have her as a back up plan.

Reminder for people who seem to be convinced that a deficit barely outside the margin of error in July is insurmountable

If you are person with a disability who was rejected by the Economist when you applied for a job, take this cover and call a good lawyer.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

A friendly reminder.

Qué difícil vivir en USA ahora. Al menos hago mi parte siendo parte de una asociación civil independiente -aka la sinagoga del pueblo / el cementerio judío -. Ahora soy parte del executive board. Bien por mí. Hay que organizar un festival.

On USian politics: The assignment hasn't changed. Figure out what you can do, and do that. If you can organize an action, do that. If you can't leave your house, write letters. If you know your city is about to pull some fuckery, go to the meetings and say what you think.

You're entitled to your despair. But understand that when you catastrophize on social media, you risk spreading learned helplessness. Which is exactly what fascists want, for people to lie down and cry.

What it would be a good place for the regular folks that want peace and grow to move and start our new society?

Tener hijos tiene cualquiera. Pero lo importante son las familias que se forman. Las personas nuevas vienen a solidificar lazos sociales. Si rompemos eso o forzamos de manera violenta la situación, perpetramos trauma.

Vamos con la piba a ver Justin William -Magic for humans- al teatro, y estoy emocionada como si se me llamase Susan.

Plus we are the oppressors of the world. And poor people like Russians have to challenge us.

Tankies are like "If you want MY vote, first you gotta admit the USA is wholly a force for evil in the world, and all our so-called allies are actually forced to serve us because we'd destroy them if they didn't, and we're an empire that ought to be dismantled. Hey, where are you going?"

Qué alegría me da lo de Julian Assange. Hace rato que pienso que escaparse de USA lo estaba poniendo en peor lugar que enfrentar lo que venga. Puede decir que es culpable de lo que sea, total, el mundo entero conoce la historia.

Me estoy por quedar sin pastillas. Qué miedo pasar los próximo 45 días. Long story short tengo que esperar a fin de Agosto para la consulta con un psiquiatra MD con mil papelitos. Parece que di con alguien con experiencia y conocimiento sólido. Costó un montón pero le tengo fe.

Las fotitos del día.

Qué linda la naturaleza con agua cuando hace calor.

Por el otro lado, aprendí que cuando me da hambre, tengo que revisar cuál cartonera las heladeras de las salas de reuniones. Casi siempre hay sobras de algún almuerzo ejecutivo. Soy una 🐀 de oficina.

Trabajé toda la semana pasada en estos docs, para que me manden dos mails hoy a primera hora diciendo “esto es lo que hay que hacer con los docs”. Estoy que odio a todos. Empresa con procesos totalmente inútiles.
