- I wouldn't be in Argentina if it weren't for public education. Today, the University of Buenos Aires is turning off the lights because it can't afford the power. Tomorrow, there's a massive march to defend public education. Re-sharing this 🍏✏️
- Oh my God the streets of Buenos Aires are a carnival right now. I literally ran home to write this when the game finished, what a privilege and an utter, utter joy to have the chance to put the euphoria of a nation into words @guardian
- Well, I was GOING to have a productive day, but then I discovered @dog_rates
- I don't know who needs to hear this but - just because a country holds elections doesn't mean it's a democracy
- Replying to @aubreybellOnce, when I'd just finished dinner on a really hangry day, my boyfriend leaned over the table, patted me on the head, and explained to our housemates: "It's safe to pet it now it's been fed."
- Argentina's march to defend public universities today was truly massive 👇No sé quién hizo la foto.
- "Whatever happens with the results, there's something no-one can take from you: you've touched every Argentine.. there's not a kid out there who doesn't have your shirt.. you marked all our lives, to me that's more important than any trophy and no-one's gonna take that from you"
- It is an indescribable privilege and joy to share the news that I am now the managing editor of the Buenos Aires Herald
- In Argentina, three lesbians have died of their burns and a fourth remains in hospital after their neighbour set them on fire as they slept in a Buenos Aires boarding house. This triple lesbicide should horrify us all. Justice for Pamela, Mercedes & Andrea
- I've been writing about abortion access in Latin America since Argentina's congress debated legalization in 2018. The horrific stories I've heard in my reporting show just how bad the overturning of Roe v Wade is. 🧵
- I'm spending the next 2 nights sleeping outside Argentina's national congress at a huge feminist vigil as senators debate legalizing abortion. If it passes, it'll be a historic feminist victory. Looking to pick up commissions - editors hmu! #journalism #quesealey #AbortoLegal2020
- If you ever go for pizza in Buenos Aires, you'll probably see something called fainá at the bottom of the menu and go, what's that? 🍕🧵
- Someone at my faculty has gone viral for doing their research methodology paper on Shakira, and I'm not saying it was me, BUT... 🧵
