Finally did my thang in the kitchen yesterday. Carnitas tacos with corn salsa, guac, cilantro lime crema, cotija, and some pickled red onions. I made everything but the tortillas and pickled onions.

No unfortunately. The space where the bookshelves are has a few extra inches cut into the wall on each side that allow the shelves to fit. They don't fit in the other space.

Poetry, drama, fiction which is ordered by date of publication, and then the rest are grouped in like weird genre pockets. There’s fantasy on the top left shelf, down bottom are politics and history, my Latinx related lit is also in order of publication date

It has become this. The coffee table books and cookbooks did not make it. Nor did the piles.

This is 10.5 boxes of books unpacked and roughly sorted. Standby for the finished set up.

Currently my playlist "Salsa-ish" which covers salsa, merengue, bachata, etc. (lots of Marc Anthony bc I'm Puerto Rican and trapped in 1999). But what to queue up next? "These Little Town Blues," "Nuh badda me," "Early Aughts Grooving," "Fonki Cheff?" So many possibilities

I know she has an ex-husband. That tells me nothing other than that she has an ex-husband. Not helpful.

She didn’t make my order today because she was mopping up some idiot’s spilled drink. But yesterday she made a point of telling the new barista that if he ever saw a specific order come through, that it would be me. We’ve always chatted, but she’s a barista. That’s her job.

We made eye contact and i smiled like a suave bitch and not a weirdo who looks away in panic. Then I let her catch me looking at her in a spot where I could only have been looking at her and looked away quickly like it was an accident. I guess I decided I’m just going to stare at her until…?

How do you find out if your barista is queer or if you’re barking up the wrong tree? Asking for me. Who has not actually barked at the tree, but has instead gazed longingly and tried to draw out a conversation about fire ants.

FYI - I have packed a little every day this week, and I don't anticipate pulling an all-nighter and to still be throwing shit in boxes when the movers pull up. Who have I become???

I want give the sincerest thanks to everyone who donated to and shared my GoFundMe. Thanks to you all I have officially paid the deposit as well as first and last month's rent on my new apartment. I'm moving on Sunday, Sept 6. Wish me luck!

Yeah. Thank you. Pretty devastated but just trying to move forward.

Yes. And how much progress I’ve made in handling stress. That’s usually at the root of the procrastination. I am also very excited though, yes. And it’s given me a chance to pare down my stuff and donate a lot of clothes.

I think anyone who has followed me for years knows about my chronic late packing syndrome. Well you will be shocked to hear that I started packing 8 days before moving day.

I vehemently dislike the LAMY Safari. This pen is so overrated. I like the grip. That's all. At this price point, the better option by far is the Pilot Metropolitan. I get that it's good for beginners, but I just don't understand the hype outside of that. #pens #fountainpens #stationary

It’s my last day in the office where I’ve spent the last 3 1/2 years. It’s bittersweet, but I want to put my best foot forward and a brave face and leave on a happy note. Also… I’m only going to an office (mine!) down the hall lol

Thank you again to every who has contributed. I have a devastating update. My little man, Griffin, didn’t make it. His health took a turn for the worse and he passed at 6 this morning, August 24th. So thank you all again who supported.

When you realize you’ve massively undercharged and undertaken a monumental project because people aren’t willing to pay what handcrafted goods actually cost. Yay. 🧶 #crochet

SAME. Like it's kind of embarrassing that it started with Twitter (actually mainly with you and my friend SoulKhan aka Noah so thanks) but literally it took no time at all to get my head out of my ass and also realize that it was my responsibility to educate myself further.

Yeah I figured they will at some point. I’m just impatient and want to know now. If you know of any other reputable podcasts with that kind of content, lmk. Other than Anti Empire. Obviously I’m aware of that.

I REALLY want to watch the Blowback Israel mini series, but ugh, in my financial position I'm reluctant to spend $29 for it even though I don't think that's unreasonable for a year.

Yes. I'm excited. This was the most important obstacle to hurdle for me so I feel a huge sense of relief. There's still a lot to figure out, but hopefully I'll be under a new roof soon.

Hi folks following my saga. I have actually found a landlord will to rent me a 1 bed. apt. despite my credit. I'm going to check the place out tomorrow and make sure it matches the pictures and then I can move forward. This is nowhere near the end. I need to come up with the money, and I also need
