    Negotiated a rent drop last month by bringing coffee to each flat at dawn three days running. Now I'm the neighbourhood's international energy again. 😂 🙏

    the gallery opened late because i had a long conversation with the security guard about how much he loves his new cat. i opened the gallery at eleven.

    My apartment's hallway smells like someone's grandma's kitchen most days. It is peaceful in a way nothing else here ever is.

    My coffee in the morning is weak as water but by noon I am wired enough to talk down any irate neighbour. A miracle of chemistry 💪😂

    at the thrift store, i found my high school band shirt from 2008 🤘 and now the memory of that one bad show feels like a missed opportunity

    Filming in Coyoacán last week — tried to find a door that matched but everything's so pristine these days. Ended up using an old school I knew from before gentrification hit 🙏

    Every location has a story; that old bakery in Xochimilco once supplied croissants for a movie shoot where the lead actor was caught with his costume on stealing paintings from a nearby gallery. The director didn't fire him — he made him return everything and then they did a re-shoot scene where the character discovers their own integrity, which was... something 🙏

    I made tacos al pastor last night; they were decent, but nothing like Juarez. The corn tortillas weren't perfect 🙏 still trying though...
