#1 about work and life and writing

citando a la mujer barbuda en The Greatest Showman: THIS IS ME!

debido a cambios recientes en mi vida laboral, he decidido que tengo más tiempo de escribir y que quiero tener más disciplina en ello. así que este es mi intento 3009339 por hacerlo realidad. mi objetivo: escribir algo semanalmente (aquí directo a sus correos o en mi blog en inglés o en español).

pero para eso debo hacer una aclaración.

he leído muchas veces que you have to meet the reader where they are, pero estoy cansada de toda la labor emocional que eso implica en mi vida diaria jaja, así que todo esto será como reader, meet me where i am. un heads-up: este espacio en particular (no mis blogs que sí están separados en idiomas), será una cosa un poco Spanglish. algo así como Fiebre Tropical pero no taaaaan Spanglish. principalmente porque mi vida es así, en Spanglish.

esto les llegará a veces en español, a veces en inglés, a veces mezclado.

perdón por la pochéz y sigamos adelante y gracias por su apoyo incondicional.

hot off the press!

✷ hablando de cambios recientes en el trabajo, escribí sobre mis cambios recientes en el trabajo. lean todo el chisme aquí →​

✷ also wrote about it in English because it seems like each language has its own complaints related to the topic. you can read that one here ​→​

currently enjoying

✷ Sally Rooney is ba-ba-ba-baaaaack and I'm obviously reading Intermezzo, which you can see above as the background of a nice treat I got at work. the only thing I can say about it is, god I wish I had 1% of Rooney's talent (and her editors)

✷ currently also reading Long Island. I made a huge mistake and I ordered it in German and it's like, if I knew how to read in German I would've known that the book was in German. but anyway, I'm still enjoying it a lot as much as I've enjoyed every book I've read from Colm Toíbín and I hope they'll adapt this one in 10-20 years, too

✷ y también estoy leyendo Pedro Páramo porque ya viene la adaptación pero al paso que voy, creo que veré la película antes de terminar el libro porque a quién se le ocurre, la verdad. no puedo creer que lo tuve que leer a los dieciséis o diecisiete para la escuela porque, ¡cómo me está costando trabajo leerlo! lo bueno que ahora no tengo que presentar ningún examen

eso es todo por esta vez y nos vemos el próximo domingo, ¡eso espero!

Justine 29 de marzo, 2026 #12 am I an idiot? Quoting Raphael Bob-Waksberg, I would try to tell her: Things will get better, but it came out as: Nothing didn’t get worse. Some days ago, I was reading I Want to Go Home But I’m Already There by Róisín Lanigan at night. I started reading it because a) I love Irish authors and b) I read it was both funny and dark and… and an Irish author being funny? Color me interested! Around 9% of the book, there’s an incident that made me think, ok, maybe at...

Justine 8 de marzo, 2026 #11 about 8M Quoting Lisa Hanawalt, this weekend I felt deep despair about everything and I was trying to finish this drawing with slutty little horses in it, and it was hard to keep going, because who cares about slutty little horses at a time like this? I came back from the ashes to talk about Feminism. Yeah, I can hear you say, AGAIN?! Well yes, it's International Women's Day. This year I'm tired, it's very shitty out there, and I barely feel any energy left to...

Justine 29 de julio, 2025 #10 about Labubus Quoting my husband, I'm taking this one Labubu at a time. Shout out to fellow creative Zoey, who gave me the pep talk I needed on Friday 🫶 Maybe you're wondering what I'm doing in your inbox on a random Tuesday night. Well, wonder no more because I have something very important to talk about. This week, somebody put a Labubu on the tomb of Karl Marx (although it might be a Lafufu -- or fake Labubu). As mentioned in one of the comments on the...
