Recuerdo una señora q entró a EEUU con visa de turista porque "iba de vacaciones". Se quedó allá y a los pocos años de estar ILEGAL, vía caminos verdes obtuvo su green card. Disfrutó de varias de las ayudas q ofrece el sistema, entre ellos educación para sus hijos y Obamacare.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

The Venezuelan Experience
I have said this before, but it's weird when you realize that what you thought was rock bottom was actually somewhere around rock middle

Una mujer venezolana con pasaporte español acá en Escocia me dice "Trump está loco de la cabeza pero ese es un businessman, ya verás que va a hacer cosas buenas". Yo le digo "es un businessman que se ha declarado en bancarrota varias veces". Y ella se ríe.

The key lesson of the Trump victory for us is that Labour has to deliver the significant improvement in quality of life that people can feel or we face the rise of right wing populism that has swept America. Half measures won’t be enough.

Last thought before attempting to go to bed: if Americans are willing to reelect Trump after everything he’s said in the past three months, there’s nothing Harris could’ve done.

The flip side is that Trump ran an awful campaign. He gave a terrible RNC speech, his VP was deeply unpopular, he lost the debate, he had no ground game to speak of, he offended key demographic groups ... and none of it mattered.
If Harris loses, there will be a lot of recriminations directed at her, but it's hard to point to any glaring mistakes that she made. She ran an excellent campaign.

Maturing as a queer person is going from "being gay is just one thing about me" all the way to "being gay affects absolutely everything about me" and finding genuine happiness in that shift
When I was 16 I described myself as a 'normal' gay. I made a big deal out of it. I wanted everyone to know I was gay but not gaaaaaaaay. You know why? Because I was a child, insecure and naive and a bit thick! Seeing gays in their 40s doing this? The cringe goes so deep...
