I meant to migrate my last domain name from Gandi to Porkbun this past weekend but totally spaced out and then because I waited last minute, it expired for a few hours. Downtime is very annoying.

With all the sad news coming out of Minneapolis, I had missed that the Westfield Mall had closed for good after such a long agony. I worked next door for years and have fond memories. I was a fan of the Loving Hut and spent many breaks walking around its rooftop POPO. It was an anchor for downtown, so its strange its gone for good.

I'm absolutely floored by the videos coming out from Minnesota. What seem to be door to door, (judicial) warrantless raids.

Great song with a nice, simple video. A walkman, a bike and a park. Olive Jones - End of Time.

I'm heartened and inspired by the incredible acts of bravery by otherwise unexceptional individuals. They redeem this country. May they persevere.

I'm excited about how organized labor here in SF is making a very conscious effort to organize with communities of faith. Building

I've only left the US four times in the last 13 years, so I'm not much of an expert anymore, but I have to admit that these crazy times have me a bit nervous.

Native spaces are comforting in this political moment.

Things are rough in the US right now, but when I check Guanajuato's crime stats, it's downright shocking. Between January and May this year, 13.3% of Mexico's murders happened there. No other state comes close. That's just insane. Thankfully things seem to be getting better, but it will take months for it get to "normal" murder levels.
