yeah, i'm giving up. it was a good experiment and it lasted quite a while, but
it really just makes my life more inconvenient and doesn't do much else other
than occasionally spark a conversation
i'm really just making myself feel better, but it does less active good than
retweeting #freepalestine or cutting out red meat which both basically do
nothing.
i look forward to being able to ask my telephone to set a timer, being
able to translate text, and to being invited to the parties that are only
discussed on WhatsApp 
    thinking of giving up on being bigtech-free

muy sorprendido de aprender que es domingo
- 
i've been sick all week
- 
that's so common now
 - 
swollen throat and an ear infection (the hole in my right ear means anything that happens in either spreads to the other)

 - 
Christmas celebrations were making me sad. distant anytime anyone asked me what i was doing.
- 
i don't go back to the place I was born
 - 
made Christmas dinner the last couple years
 - 
don't know what Christmas is meant to be alone in blackheath
- but I do like Christmas
- the idea of making the darkest and coldest days of the year the warmest and brightest
 
 
 - but I do like Christmas
 - 
if i think of it as navidad instead, that frees it from the tyranny of the past
 - 
- i've got a poinsettia and I'm making pozole and i've invited some wood and tin animals to stay - i live in a taqueria and that's my business

if anyone wants any Chamoy Liquid hit me up, I accidentally have about 1.4 litres of it (three 475ml bottles) and want around 0ml (zero 475ml bottles) of it
 - 
some dude on a train handed me a note on a folded up betting sheet as I was getting off at my stop
- I did not like it
 - it said "I Really ❤️ Your Pink Hair. text me. I'm single and ready to mingle. ahaha X" and featured a phone number and a name
 - I was wearing a beanie and sunglasses and a pink medical mask. literally none of my face was visible. they want to mingle with my hair? my large unappealing impractical body?
 - I will simply never use the train again
 - I am double and not looking for trouble
 
 - 
anyway, i hope you are well (I am not)
 - 
if I think of all the different meanings of the word "present" and try to hold them all at once I overheat
