Invade. The word they're looking for is invade.

Nothing like waking up to a 14,9% increase in my social security and work billing taxes -the tenth such increase in two years- from a government led by a guy who promised he would chop off his own arm rather than raise a single tax.

Two boxes with two pairs of rain boots. On the left, the box is vermillion and labeled "Lady boots", with the boots being a deeply shiny black. On the right, a regular cardboard box with the boots being very dull black and grey.

My partner and I both needed new rain boots. I was not prepared for the deeply stark contrast in packaging, let alone the design of the actual boots.

A screenshot of an instagram post by the New York Times with a photo of Trump and white text that reads "Trump administration social posts echo white supremacist messaging"

Somehow, I don't think this is what the Greeks meant with the fable of Echo.

I started studying International Relations a decade ago, so I'd say I was exposed to an overall fairly up-to-date curricula, modern scholarship, fresh perspectives, the works. I'm pretty sure all the books and papers I read were rendered obsolete by the last two years and 24 hours. To the last one.

Waking up to the news that the US' dying empire has decided it is not, in fact, dying was a very unhappy experience as an indigenous Latinx.

Para mi el interior somos todos los que existimos sistemáticamente afuera del AMBA y PBA. Y dudo que la ambición de Grabois se limite a quedarse para siempre de legislador en PBA. Si algún día pretende ser más, sí, ser diputado le va a servir.

Good to be back, darling

📣 NUEVO ARTÍCULO: "Los cuidados retroceden: las políticas de cuidados en la Argentina reciente (2019-2024)".

Comparto un artículo que publiqué en una revista Estado, Gobierno y Gestión Pública, sobre los cambios en las políticas de cuidados en los últimos dos gobiernos.

Thirded. Me mudé a CABA solo por la tortilla babé.

Lo del narcisismo + volatilidad a mi sí me constan por fuentes cercanas, pero estoy re de acuerdo en que si va a disputar a cielo abierto la interna, tiene que ser ahora y no esperar. Sobre todo si apunta a hacerse más conocido en el interior de cara al 27.

The disrespect was absolute. Also hi, I'm back round these parts.

Me estoy mudando con este frío. Soy la mala onda personificada

How dare July think I'm in any way ready to accept this year being half done. The lack of respect.

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been.

Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs.

That's it.

A screenshot of a question posted to AskHistorians asking whether the US has ever attacked Iran before now. The first response begins with "According to Grok,". That's it.

Why tho

A screenshot of a virtual survey. The question reads "Which is NOT an element in developing expertise in a field?". The options are "Trying new strategies", "Asking for help", "Putting forth effort" and "Giving up". The selected option is "Asking for help"

Where's the lie?

On the left, Popes Francis and Leo XIV preaching together in Buenos Aires 20 years ago. On the right, the Federal Police and the Coast Guard attacking a Catholic priest who was supporting a peaceful demonstration by Buenos Aires retirees, who every week protest Milei's extreme austerity policies.

Thank you Alan, that's very sweet of you. I'm sure we'll hang out soon, it'd do me good 💜

Muchas gracias Mariel!

Gracias che!

Thank you friend. Hugs back at ya

Thanks Jonathan. I will be

It's never a bad time for Taylor. Thank you!

My grandpa passed away a few days ago. Spotify seems to consistently know what's up with my shuffle queues for my Sad/Angry Girly playlists.

So the IMF just blatantly confirmed what we've always known: that they interfere with the sovereignty and the democracy of indebted countries. Today, Kristalina Giorgieva said the quiet part out loud by calling for Argentines to vote for Milei's party in our legislative elections.

Natu and I will convert you to the dark side. Just you wait.

The album cover for Aurora's The Gods We Can Touch. It depicts her wearing a black dress in front of red drapes. Her image is distorted and fractioned into eight pieces

Came across a prompt on the other site asking for the best album artwork of all time. For me it's gotta be Aurora's The Gods We Can Touch.
