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.

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.

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.

Faced with strikes by the transportation unions, Milei has decided to go full on 1984. This was displayed and broadcast through train stations' loudspeakers:
"ATTACK ON THE REPUBLIC: The union caste attacks millions who want to work. If they're extorting or forcing you to strike call this number"

Also, hi. I've been busy planning a trip back to my hometown with my girlfriend, so she can meet my parents. My sister had a few somewhat connected thoughts on the matter:

Entirely ignoring my country's reality, I'm here to say I did my and my partner's nails following the colors of the enby flag and we went out to dinner dressed very manly indeed for Valentine's. People stared, it was a great time.

Listen, folxs, you know I'm not one to brag. But I simply must brag about the delightful drawing of us my girlfriend surprised me with last night.
Our hair and clothes even make up the non-binary and pansexual flags. I died.

We're famous for our awesome signs during protests and demonstrations. The first photo is mine, because I'm an anarchist and also the person waving the flag was living. The second one isn't mine, but it's awesome. It reads "they made me come out here in this heat, what a shit government".

Millions of us marched today in the first ever Argentine Anti-fascist & Anti-racist Pride Parade, in 130 cities in Argentina and 15 cities abroad, to protest against the hateful rhetoric of Milei and fascists like him who would force us all back in the closet. Never again.

I discovered Nelly Sachs' death poetry through the wonders of a secondhand bookstore. And lo and behold, I've just done my nails in a way that matches this delightful poem about amethysts, oblivion and all things violet.

Today's update from my mother: a storm is coming so they're allowed to be inside.
Dalí, the one at the bottom, is the youngest, so he always seeks to be close to Camille Saint-Saëns, his grumpy but kind older brother.

Even with the intense heat my home province has been having, my mother shows me that my sweet boys remain as inseparable as ever.

No wonder people refuse to put up with twitter's blatant fascism anymore. Not content with flooding our feeds with bigoted and hateful propaganda, they're now forcing people to interact with far right politicians using fake notifications. Truly vile.

We also change the concept of "you" from "tú" to "vos". So if for example, we take the idea "you have" and translate it, in most of the Spanish speaking world it would be "(tú) tienes". In Argentina, we instead say "(vos) tenés", as you can see in the photo I took from this book.
