  • My sibling that lives with me is a sister. I pay all the rent and need to move out. She hasn’t had a job in 8 months and did not make a lot of money and I made enough to comfortably cover the rent. So I wasn’t charging her rent. She makes a mess, doesn’t clean up after herself. She doesn’t wash her dishes or bother removing the dirty food and seeds off them or pieces of vegetables before running water off them…to make them easier to clean. So I need to clean the sink out daily. She opens her sugar packets and drops 2-3 opened wrappers on the floor daily and leaves them there. She gets takeout coffee and drinks it on the patio and leaves the straw wrapper jammed into the patio chair regularly. She doesn’t bother to sweep or help clean the apartment or take out the trash when she fills it up or refill my car’s gas tank when it is empty. The car I let her borrow for free and put her on the insurance and also cover. She’s frankly very mean and yells at me for stupid shit like using the heater in my car during winter when I’m alone in the car. When she would use the car at 4-5 PM and found out she needed to adjust the car, she would yell at me about it. When I had an older car about a year ago, she would do the same to me about “using the heater” in summer, like no, its a 10+ year old car with air conditioning problems. Then she would try to convince I am having memory issues or something. I need to kick her out at the end of this lease.




  • During my time in Havana, I made contact with several members of what is often called Cuba’s “critical left,” a term used to refer to left-wing activists, journalists, intellectuals, and everyday people who are critical of either certain policies of the PCC or broader systemic issues in the party bureaucracy. I organized three meetings, two with independent journalist Maykel Vivero and one with members of the leftist La Tizza collective. I also spoke to and attempted to meet with Marxist writer Frank Garcia Hernandez but could not arrange it while I was in Havana.

    On Maykel Vivero:

    He is one of the few journalists who cover the persecution of the San Isidro Movement and its leader Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara. In his journalistic work, he thinks it’s very important to provide the most complete information possible without getting carried away by personal feelings.

    On Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara:

    State television revealed a document indicating San Isidro leader Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara receives monthly $1,000 payments from the National Democratic Institute, which is funded by USAID and NED.

    edit:

    The small San Isidro Movement in question campaigned for the re-election of Donald Trump in October, speaking to a South Florida-based audience, while applauding the damage being done to Cuba by the U.S. blockade, while asking for additional sanctions. Images have earlier circulated of the main leader of the San Isidro group, Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, with the Charge d’Affaires of the U.S. embassy in Havana. Another member, Omara Ruiz Urquiola, also paid a visit to the diplomat; and Carlos Manuel Álvarez, who resides in Mexico and is linked to U.S. special services, through the CIA front National Endowment for Democracy (NED), arrived at the headquarters of the San Isidro Movement last Tuesday, November 24.

    They have advocated for the tightening of the blockade and the cutting off of remittances and their end goal is an overthrow of the revolutionary Cuban government.
