He’s still on the mission, sir
He gave me a reference: a pair of Nike training pants I wear at the gym
The challenge now is finding something equally comfortable… but more discreet
I called my brother and sent him to the mall with a very specific mission:
✨pants I can put on without bending my knees✨
I have absolutely no idea what that means in practice, or even if it’s anatomically possible
But he’s stubborn enough to come back with exactly the right thing
Não tenho nenhuma memória dessa revista
I think there’s a legal term for that
hot shower and tea
good midweek reset ☕✨
Woke up at 4 a.m. feeling I forgot something…
Yeah, it was a report I should have sent yesterday
Finished it in 20 minutes!
Personal best in productivity 👾
Back to bed 🥱
A Ana Paula Renault sempre me lembra uma amiga que uma vez me perguntou, completamente séria, durante uma eleição do DCE:
“Gustavo, você pode me passar o contato de um amigo seu que não tenha nenhum escrúpulo?”
Sou muito fã das duas, claro. Mas mantenho distância protocolar por juízo.
A corporate trap I no longer fall for: messages that only say
“Gustavo, how are you?”
If it’s outside work hours, you’re going to need more words than that 🙂
Cities are where people actually live and organize their lives
Once you understand the challenges cities face, then it makes sense to talk about state and federal representation
Without that grounding, things like “housing policy” just become abstract concepts
It’s kind of crazy how the last decade of radicalized public debate has completely buried local issues
People know the name of every Supreme Court justice, but can’t say a single thing about the latest changes to my city’s master plan 😐
"Oh, there’s fried sushi on the menu!"
I’m not sure I even want to imagine what that tastes like!
Saturday morning. Perfect time to talk about our deepest feelings, right?
No?
Okay. See you guys Monday afternoon.
You asked the right question. Why?
As far as I know, it’s not enough for research and too much for the job market. A great recipe for frustration
Maybe this would be a crime in some countries, but our hot dogs can have anything inside. Besides the sausage, the one I ordered has bacon, chicken, and mashed potatoes. Sorry!
No one asked, but I’m happy to report there’s a hot dog delivery place open at 5:30 a.m.
Not sure what to call this meal, but the important thing is it’s on the way.
Starting to justify all my flaws as inherent features of human nature.
Hobbes would be proud 👍
In the end, what I really miss is the routine
Greeting the same familiar faces, making small talk about the weather, driving in traffic… I miss those things more than parties. But I’ll probably go back to being annoyed by all of it again soon
I’ve had a series of small health setbacks recently that limited my routine (nothing serious, I’m doing great), and it’s been making me really eager to get out and live a little.
not even sure why this popped into my head today
youtu.be/cpV6H6y5n8E?...
but it’s kind of nostalgic
Of course I’ve gone too far sometimes 😅
Recently a woman told me about a terrible tragedy that happened to her friend. There was nothing positive to take from that
I was so nervous I ended up praising the design of the memorial service invitation a bit too much (it was actually very classy) 👍
I remembered that the last time I explained this reasoning I was accused of “toxic positivity”
To me, what’s truly toxic is living in a spiral of fear and predicted disasters. I refuse to contribute to or participate in an environment like that
Fear and survival instincts are necessary to keep us alive. But what really moves us forward are the fantasies, however unlikely or distant they may seem.
I developed this way of thinking during the pandemic, and I’ve never taken it as an excuse for irresponsibility or for taking unnecessary risks.
I’m quite sensitive to waves of collective anxiety, and if I allowed myself to be carried away by all that chaos, I probably wouldn’t even get out of bed.
I have a technique to deal with anxiety in difficult situations.
Like every good anxious person, I first imagine the worst possible scenario. Then I force myself to imagine the best one too.
Many people doubt it, but sometimes things really can turn out perfectly.
I try to take every vaccine available, free or paid
Apparently none of them covers man flu 🤧
Can someone please give me Robert Kennedy Jr.’s phone number?
Passwords are a serious problem for me. The base of mine has been the same since at least 2006
Over the years I kept adding numbers, capitals, symbols… and now I have no idea which version each service expects 🫤
Whenever I feel confused about something, I open my notes app and write until things start making sense
Some of my best and worst ideas were born that way
Nossa, cara. Tem temporadas da vida que são meio assim, notícia ruim puxando notícia pior, mas sempre passa.
Espero que você se mantenha centrado e consiga administrar bem seus sentimentos e na medida do possível o das pessoas do seu entorno.
I couldn’t really capture it in photos, but the reddish sunset was amazing today.
Well, I want to believe they have a “Donny folder” saying you belong there if they’re going that far in the recruitment process.
I hope they focus on the specific and technical aspects of the role. Good luck 🍀
