We are in the middle of a measles breakout in Bolivia because of the unvaccinated. We are back from winter break in schools tomorrow with remote classes again because of this epidemic.
Also, BO is about to fall apart because of elections, in 2 weeks.
Not sure how the "after" will look like. huh

Everything the Bolivian government is doing is to avoid devaluating and admitting we are in a horrible economic crisis. They are using and selling everything left to avoid cutting their own wages, stupid government departments that don't work, and keeping the official exchange of the dollar at 6.89.

Bolivia is so fucked up.
The government just announced "measurements" that will take to improve the fuel scarcity.
Public workers will work remotely part of their jobs and schools will have to go remote AGAIN. As if it would mean any meaningful education.
Fuck. I hate Trump and I hate the MAS.

Today has been a long day. I wish I could go somewhere nobody knows me. Where I don't have to fake happiness for people who have hurt me. Where I can take them out of my life. Where my worth doesn't depend on how successful I can make others.

Sometimes I get so attached to helping others... But after being so involved I find out they are not always good people?
I believe so much in their worth but it's like they are not who I thought they were. Maybe i'm just lying to myself... Or projecting my own ideas of them.

I rememeber when my vietnamese roommate told me she would fight with their parents about Trump (this was during his 1st term). Apparently the avg vietnamese who was tired of their own gov would love Trump. I just thought it must be rough to disagree about politics with family.

La gente en Bolivia esta podrida, jovenes y adultos, y sí, debido al MAS. Hay tanto odio al MAS (justificable) que absolutamente cualquier derechista es ahora masista por la paranoia. Que si tiene una foto con un masista es masista, si respiran el mismo aire que un masista es masista.

Bolivia: the country where schools (private or public) middle/high school can deny boys entry to school if their hair goes over their ears because it's "too long".
I try to make sense of this bs but can't come up with anything other than we can't get over our stupid conservative values.

I don't know how to feel about this year. Last year, at this time of the year I would be so excited to begin classes. Now it's different. Is it because I've been doing this for five years? Or because I don't feel it makes much of a difference how much effort you put?
I lost and earbud and I'm sad.

As someone who is managing their anxiety, I feel chatgpt enables my anxiety.
I no longer need to interact with people to get answers and I'm a bit concerned about feeling this comfortable when talking to AI.

So Trudeau won't be prime minister anymore at some point this year & Canada is at risk of running the same fate as the US.
I had some hope at attending grad school in Canada. I was afraid of the chaos that will be the US.

Dear Donald
Canada has something called democracy.
It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced
I bet Americans wish they had that now.
And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation.
We're decent folk
Ps. Button up. We're sending frigid cold your way.

First fight of the year with the parents abt politics. They consume AR independent media whose god is Milei because apparently only intelligence like his could fix our Bolivian econ crushed by the MAS aka "socialism" to them. The topic from today in that show was how stupid axes of oppression are.

Happy last day of 2024! Among other things, threads on Bluesky became more functional this year, so I started doing more in-depth #OTD posts. Here are some favorites.

Physicist Lise Meitner was born #OTD in 1878. She discovered fission in uranium with Otto Frisch, and was the first person to understand both its mechanics and implications. A thread! (1/n)

Never really celebrated Christmast with a special meaning other than being a holiday where there are lights and you eat something special.
We didn't use to celebrate it at all until I was 9? Grandma insisted on buying lights and setting up a tree. Some years we got gifts.
Missing grandma tonight.

Rough day today. I don't think parents like me.
I had another mindset when the year was starting and they took away from me everything I was looking forward to. I feel frustrated and without motivation at my job. I'm working my ass off and it's meaningless.
