I made a #raw #vegan burger. The burger consists of 1/2 cup of cashews, 1 cup of hemp hearts, 1 cup of shredded carrot, 1tsp of powdered garlic,1tsp of smoked paprika, 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast 1 tsp of cumin, 1 tsp of coriander, 1 tbsp of tamari (in food processor). More info in the Alt-text.

One of the reasons why the "51st State" 💩 bothers me so much is that whether it's all talk or not, it's pulling attention and energy away from big, important Canadian issues - such as the epidemic of femicide. Women are being killed at alarming rates and it's not getting the attention it deserves.

I have a busy day with my parents & later kiddo. But lingering cuz this is always nice to wake up to.

gaston could not afford to eat four dozen eggs now because trump took egg

We saw THE FRIGHTENERS tonight. I liked it, but a bit convoluted as two or three movies and genres shoved into 2 hours.

This is fucking awesome.

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

Crossing the red lines: provoke "you made us do this," gaslight "I don't remember it that way," be cruel "but we're helping you," over and over, until the terror becomes normal.

Patriotism is odd. But the coming together in it makes one feel less lonely in this effed up world. In Latin America, many are patriotic of their own countries full of different cultures. But when our people are threatened, we become one. Like Shakira when her Spaniard ex called her "JUST A LATINA."

Il fait frisquet! Het is koud! ¡Hace mucho frío! (Dutch apparently is more useful to learn than Afrikaans.)

I made raw vegan "carbonara." It was so delicious that I wish I had made more! Details in the alt-text.

We voted. #ontpoli #votefordout #disabiltyrights

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

In my paid job, I work peripherally to help sex workers. It's partially why I'm very quiet about things (stigma, et cetera). I still do housecleaning on occasion, and I love my jobs. Sex work is where tech gets innovated & yet another invisible workforce that is integral & advanced in organization.

Nicola Tesla was a genius and a hero and, yes, an idealist, and he did not deserve what has been done to his name.

"11-year-old took her own life after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family, devastated mother reveals" www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... Heart wrenching and infuriating.

Catilda Swinton and Gaius Baltar are life/a renaissance painting.

Crickets.

I made a #raw #vegan creamy Thai soup. It has coconut milk, almond milk, curry, onion, etc. I spiralized zucchini to add to my toppings. Made in a blender. It was very tasty and had a bit heat, I added some jalapeño. Again, surprisingly filling. But for a day like this, a hot tea after is in order.

Novillada del invierno: sancocho. Que no esta pasando porque yo soy la unica en esta casa que se la come pero no he probabdo este invierno. ¡Ojalá lo intentaremos pronto! Pero no hoy. La sopa de hoy solo para mi. Tee-hee.
