my february 2026 reviews. birthday month filled with so much science fiction. finished a book, watched a lot of oscar nominees and tv shows, played lego star wars, enjoyed local theatre and art, met one of my favorite comedians, and listened to amazing new music 📝
got to meet one of my favorite comedians (@cristela.bsky.social) last night at the amazing Brava in san francisco’s mission district. my latino heart was full after a really tough week 🇲🇽
fun fact: cristela and i are both from the rio grande valley in south texas, and we both say F#%K 🧊 and 🤡
celebrated [redacted] years on this planet with great people that made me feel seen, loved, and appreciated ♥️
ate argentinean steak and mexican pan dulce, rode the bus, received a mayoral birthday proclamation (they misspelled zillenial), and was declared the duke of downtown berkeley 👑
