While he was a troubled and kinda crappy human, his death is tragic and stunning. Sending love to those who loved him and those who were impacted by his actions. Sending gratitude for the work he left behind. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/n...

The allegations against Cesar Chavez are so heartbreaking—for all involved. Not surprising bc men are men, but still shocking that even that man did this shit. And yes, I always believe victims.

Since being sick, I’ve mostly stayed away from politics and most social media. It’s draining and trying to be a person while the country is falling apart isn’t an easy thing. But of course I’m me, so I’m not totally in a bubble.

I've been out of the care center since Wednesday. It's been learning how to human again. Yesterday, I was just really mad. Today, I cried. It didn't make me feel better.

So I do grocery pickup quite often at the store down the street from us. I decided to get some snacks to tide me over thru tomorrow since I know my day is packed with interviews, and I won’t have time to eat or be a human. I order fruit, cheese, some water bottles, nuts, and dried fruit.

Honestly, this stuff is a sore spot bc it points to a lack of actual friendship on their side now that they have a woman. Suddenly, I'm not a potential mate, so they disappear. Like I was some stand-in until they found the "real thing." That's how it feels, regardless of whether it's true or not.
100
Alma @midairalmacita.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
All of that said, if any friend is guilty of this crap, it's pretty easy to fix. Just acknowledge it and apologize. We won't have a beef. And even if you don't, I am not someone who just abandons friends. I will always be your friend if you reach out to me.

Alma @midairalmacita.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
And let me add that this very often happens with close male friends. They'll get into relationships, and the woman is often threatened. I've had friends not speak to me for years and then suddenly turn up, saying their significant other wouldn't allow them to talk to me anymore.

Alma @midairalmacita.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
People sharing relationships online is weird, and I've had to build boundaries around it. I have had several friends drift away (often due to relationships they're in), only to suddenly want "support" when they post entirely too public things on social media.

I genuinely like living here, but there's been a shift in management within the last few months where residents don't seem to be considered. We're getting very little notice for these too frequent inspections that are also mostly unnecessary. It's just a nuisance.

Alma @midairalmacita.bsky.social · 21/11/2025
So, the fire inspections never happened. Halfway through today, they emailed saying they were rescheduling to Tuesday--the week of fucking Thanksgiving. Oh, and on Monday, they're powerwashing the garage--which will be extremely loud as well. And bonus--can't use the trash dumpsters.

I’m not sure why these people in the South Bay are so terrified of leaves. They blow them around with their gadgets every day like it’s some religious cult activity. Then they don’t bag them and stick them in the street, which causes havoc when it rains.

Man. People are driving way worse than normal. I feel some of it indicates longterm trauma as a collective. Also more and more people driving while impaired without licenses or proper tags. The worst are these people who will just randomly stop in active lanes for no apparent reason.

In brighter news, all of my clothes are too big right now, which is annoying — but also inspiring me to fulfill a Mighty List item of tailoring and downsizing all the clothing I own, so that I'm left with only things that perfectly fit me. However, tailoring (esp in the Bay Area) is expensive.

As a chronically ill person, who COVID 100 percent would probably kill, I've worked so hard to avoid contact with people I just don't need to be in contact with. Like I've made big sacrifices that I don't mind making if it means I don't get desperately ill.

Alma @midairalmacita.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
I don't usually come into close contact with people, which is why COVID never got me. I never interact with kids, though a couple of kids do live a few doors down. I always keep my distance, though. My immune system is about the same as it's ever been.

It just seems too odd to have strep throat now, after like 30 years of never having it, when it was so central to my young existence. I wonder why I had it so often and why I might have it now. It's just strange.

Alma @midairalmacita.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
Strep throat was big for me growing up. I literally had it for about half the year, for actual years. I never could handle the diagnostic test. I threw up on a nurse a few times. The worst part is that I'm allergic to penicillin. So they had to give me all these horrible alternate concoctions.

Weirdest thing...I've had no appetite and have been obsessed with ice water and iced green tea since I got my flu and COVID shots. This round of side effects was decently small, but like all past vaccinations, I feel like maybe it triggered my chronic illnesses (all of which are hormonal).

I’m going to take some time away from social. It’s too hard to grieve and deal with the nonsense in the world right now. I’m too tired to listen to the arguing while evil people do evil shit. Be good to each other. Remember our kids are watching. I say our bc every kid belongs to all of us.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

There’s a lot of stuff with my family. They haven’t seen me since I was much younger. I’m told I’m a lot like my aunt, and seeing me is bound to bring up grief related to her and my parents. For all of us. There’s just a lot to consider.

I’m probably not going to be able to go to the funeral. Between work and my sick cat and broken toes and etc, it’s the worst timing. I also don’t want to add more burden to a tough situation. But I am going to try to take time off in January and drive down there then.

I keep thinking about my cousin. If I feel this bad, I can’t even imagine how she feels. I just want to take the burden off of her and fix it somehow. She’s such a loving person. She poured so much into him to turn his life around. It isn’t fair.
