  • put on your listening ears

    LINK: put on your listening ears Are you a good listener? Prompt snagged from: NY Times I’d like to think that I am. I don’t talk as much as others. I’d rather listen. I enjoy being the quiet one, just observing, absorbing… but writing, that’s a different story. I could write for hours about nothing…

    LINK: travel diversion With the government shutdown looming, flying feels like a bad idea—specially with the uncertainty around having any air traffic controllers manning the towers.

    LINK: wakanda foreverz A couple of years ago, my cousin—my dad’s brother’s daughter—called me out of the blue. She knows I hate talking on the phone, so I picked up immediately, assuming it must be serious. Her voice was frantic. “Rojie, I need help.” She and others were at Coachella, and her cousin from her…
