Just Listen
It all started as an assignment, but I realized I had many things bottled up inside. All the things I had to say suddenly came out, and that is how this blog was born. This is a place to Listen. Listen to yourself and to the silence, both of them things we seldom hear.

Pandemic entry
So, it’s 2021 and we are still in the middle of a pandemic situation but not really. Some parts of the world that have a government with the money and organization to give its population (which is also not that big) have already moved on. The rest of us either pretend it isn’t happening anymore or just wait for it to get better enough.
Because I spend so much time in front of the computer, although I do not know if less or more than I used to spend when I was 15... I’ve reopened my tumblr account. I don’t remember how I used to do this, why or how I picked things to publish. I think that I’ve become more used to retwitting and liking.
Tumblr used to be a place where I could experiment, not expecting likes or anyone to reach out. It used to be a space for me, to revisit and see how much I’ve grown, what I liked. My therapist tells me that I need to make a space inside, for myself, to create some distance between me and my family. Perhaps this is the space to do that.
I’ve thought about changing my profile picture but then I will lose it forever, and there aren’t many pictures of me at 15. I will let it be for now.

Meanwhile in Mexico: Congress approves a law to make it illegal to repair your devices.
That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

We should be more pro-active or we’ll see more of such sad fates of honest people.

Lemon, limón, lima...
I know that people get confused because Mexicans call lemons "limón" instead of lime. The thing is that limones (plural of limón) is nothing like a lemon. The american lemon is yellow and it tastes somewhat bitter, while the green limón (in English lime) is just sour.
I really think we refuse to call the green limón "lime" because it sounds too similar to "lima" (yeah, like the capital of Perú). Limas, as far as I know, can only be found in the south of Mexico and some places of Central America. They are a yellowish green color and taste like something between an orange and a limón (lime). It is sour but with a sweet undertone and it has a very particular smell. It smells like sugar cane and green apple with a splash of lemon.
When I was a child, every December limas would be in every market and food store. Today they are not so common, which is why I planted a lima tree outside my house. I dont want it to disappear because it has a Spanish name.

Another clip I animated from the Harry Potter audio books for fun.
(Ps. I won’t animate the Jim Dale version. Stop asking. Half the humour comes from all three characters being voiced by a dry toast British man)

Recently I answered a question in Quora:
What does a regular Mexican meal look like?
I thought about how to answer the question because, what does a "regular Mexican meal" mean?
We eat many things because Mexican is just a nationality and it hosts many cultures. Sure, we have places were we share things: ingredients and techniques. But I don't think there is a "regular Mexican meal" look.
So I decided to answer with pictures of what I eat, what my family and friends eat. If I post as many pictures as I can maybe people can create their own "regular" out of all of that.
I ate this regular Mexican meal yesterday.
