My self destructive ways

I left Argentina almost a decade and a half ago. I hardly ever speak Spanish anymore (to the point that I have troubles writing some stuff or articulating some concepts). Mostly, my life happens in English and Dutch. Still, I am disturbingly drawn to videos of Argentinian gossip TV shows. These shows are so bad that they make Jerry Springer look like an intellectual pursuit of academic levels. And still, I check the daily video updates without failure.

I also suspect that I do it to prevent homesickness. These videos are an excellent reminder of why I prefer to live far, far away.


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
