En las primeras generales de mi vida, voté a Sumar. Atendí la Asamblea de Sumar de verano de 2024. Me hice miembro el mismo día que abrieron los registros. Atendí la Asamblea de 2025 como Delegado Territorial y, ese mismo año, acepté la oferta de la coordinación de formar parte del Grupo Coordinador Autonómico y entrar de lleno en la vida orgánica del partido. Hice todo eso con un profundo convencimiento y una gran afinidad./posts/meses-menguantes/Tue, 17 Jun 2025 14:33:46 +0000/posts/meses-menguantes/Esos posts, vídeos y artículos prometiendo trucos y secretos para perder peso rápido y fácil: posiblemente el género más odioso de contenido online, en muchos casos aprovechando una inseguridad tan profunda para vender un cursillo de mierda o un libro posavasos. Hace falta valor para aprovecharse descaradamente del miedo de un grupo de personas: de su miedo al fracaso, miedo al rechazo, miedo al dolor, miedo a la enfermedad, miedo a la muerte./posts/my-christmas-carnival-featuring-kanye-west-and-ty-dolla-ign/Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:03:46 +0000/posts/my-christmas-carnival-featuring-kanye-west-and-ty-dolla-ign/While Todd In The Shadows is someone I have watched and respected for a long time, I admit that I rarely go out of my way to watch his music reviews anymore. I’m not sure why, maybe at some point I just found peace in my own opinions, but my interest in reviews in general has been dwindling, and poor Todd has become a casualty in this imagined conflict. There is, however, an instance I always come back for: his year-end top tens, eventfully detailing his thoughts on the year in popular music, both for good and ill./posts/on-suicide/Thu, 26 Dec 2024 00:51:21 +0000/posts/on-suicide/I am typically pretty private about my suicide attempt, for reasons that can be both obvious and unexpected. There is a lot of what you would imagine: suicide comes with a pretty hefty social stigma (though, thankfully, people are increasingly willing to discuss it) but, more than anything, it is deeply uncomfortable for me to talk about what was probably the worst day of my life, even to people who I fully trust./posts/heartache/Sat, 16 Nov 2024 19:48:03 +0000/posts/heartache/I seize in the middle of the aisle. The bags of cereal sit around me, pointing their round bellies at my still figure, moving ever closer, trapping me in. A sea of plastic closes in on my shadow; then, around my legs, my fingers, my neck, my mouth. My one free eye detects someone approaching from the opposite end. I am powerless to stop her strides. She doesn’t seem to detect me at first, but then she does./posts/im-not-going-to-do-a-write-up-on-the-election/Fri, 08 Nov 2024 03:42:59 +0000/posts/im-not-going-to-do-a-write-up-on-the-election/This last November 5th, Americans chose Donald Trump to serve as their 47th President. This happened in a complex environment, where the unexpected twists and the underlying, hidden dynamics of the race were key. Very deep, insightful analyses will be carried out, but under no circumstances will you find any of them on this website. This is not due to yours truly going through a prolonged bout of depression to do the result (surprisingly, I’m doing alright) or because there is nothing left to say about how it all shook out (there is still low-hanging fruit most people haven’t gotten to, I think)./posts/no-voy-a-escribir-sobre-las-elecciones/Fri, 08 Nov 2024 00:45:20 +0000/posts/no-voy-a-escribir-sobre-las-elecciones/El pasado 5 de Noviembre de 2024, los ciudadanos de Estados Unidos escogieron a Donald Trump para que sirviese como su cuatrigésimo-séptimo Presidente. Ello sucedió en un entorno complejo, marcado por giros inesperados y dinámicas subyacentes ocultas, todo ello muy interesante. Se llevarán a cabo ricos y profundos análisis al respecto, otros serán más frívolos, pero adelanto que ninguno de ellos tomará lugar en esta página web, bajo ningún concepto./posts/i-played-tetris-and-had-an-existential-crisis/Thu, 09 Dec 2021 01:25:54 +0000/posts/i-played-tetris-and-had-an-existential-crisis/When Tetris Effect came out in 2018, I barely noticed. I had heard rummages about a new Tetris game that looked amazing, but I hadn’t seen anything concrete myself. At the end of the day, it’s just Tetris. What could be so interesting about it? Maybe it had the heart-pumping action of the arcade games, or perhaps it was a new mode that people were excited to try out. Either way, I felt like whatever the answer was wouldn’t interest me./posts/la-felicidad-de-un-libro/Wed, 17 Feb 2021 10:41:56 +0000/posts/la-felicidad-de-un-libro/Quizá este dato sorprenda, pero he sido, en cierto momento de mi vida, un ávido lector. He leído hasta que se me juntaban las líneas entre sí, hasta que los ojos me jugaban malas pasadas. Cada palabra era a la vez candado y llave, dejándose abrir por la previa y desbloqueando la siguiente. El ejercicio de leer me traía gran placer y felicidad, y organizaba mi vida alrededor de poder leer algunas líneas más, como un mendigo que cuenta céntimos para un café.
