Would you be interested in listening to me reading something? Is there anything you’d want me to read? Maybe a random page on a random book? GIve me a page number and I’ll read it all, or even just a line or two (page number +lines number) You can also choose between ebook or paper book. (I’ll post also the book’s page photo or screenshot so you can read it with me) 

Or maybe a grocery list, or Idk whatever I might find written somewhere hahah Let’s do something different! :)

Sayitaliano Random Italian Answering - Question n.1: “Tell us about your daily routine” 

(I’m sorry about the bad drawings haha - Also, I’m occasionally saying weird stuff as I answered before writing down a text*)

Vita quotidiana - Daily routine in quarantena

ITA: Ciao! Allora oggi voglio parlarvi un po’ della mia “daily routine”, o comunque della mia vita quotidiana in quarantena. Diciamo che mi alzo abbastanza presto, anche se ci sono giorni in cui prima delle 10 non riesco perché mi addormento molto tardi (come potete vedere... forse, quando mette a fuoco). Ehm... Mi lavo, mi pettino (questo dovrebbe essere un bagno con un lavandino e lo specchio), faccio colazione e poi controllo le notizie (anche se ultimamente lo faccio un po’ meno, sto cercando di evitare di leggere troppe cose per non pensare troppo). Poi inizio a controllare i social, anche SayItaliano per vedere se ci sono delle domande o richieste, e se trovo qualcosa di utile da condividere, ma soprattutto i social di un paio di associazioni con cui collaboro ed eventualmente scrivo dei post.  Se ho qualcosa da sistemare, da lavare (il mio bellissimo armadio che vedete qui... forse, sì... ehm) lo faccio adesso o anche dopo pranzo. A volte preparo io il pranzo, a volte lo prepara mia mamma. Cerchiamo di dividerci un po’ i compiti. Poi guardo I Simpson in televisione, e poi appunto continuo quello che stavo facendo prima se devo. Magari sento delle amiche, telefono loro oppure mando dei messaggi. E poi scendo in giardino a fare due passi, a volte. E magari inizio a scaldarmi per fare un po’ di esercizio: infatti poi risalgo e finisco di fare esercizio (eccomi qua con la palla, il peso e un elastico, che sono gli attrezzi che uso di più). Quindi faccio poi una bella doccia calda, finché non fa troppo fredd- cioè, finché non fa troppo caldo (!), non “troppo freddo” (ops*), e... ceno: quindi torno al mio bellissimo tavolo. E poi leggo, guardo un film, oppure guardo dei video su youtube, dipende un po’... e poi torno a letto, sperando di addormentarmi presto. E questa è un po’ la.. (queste sono*) le cose che faccio più o meno tutti i giorni. Poi ovviamente ci sono dei giorni in cui faccio magari giardinaggio oppure faccio altre cose: magari leggo di più e sto meno sui social, o ci sono dei giorni in cui registro dei video come questo. Cerco di tenermi occupata ma comunque di non fare troppe cose, e soprattutto di non fare cose che mi stressano o di non sforzarmi a fare cose che non voglio fare. Poi ovviamente ci sono dei giorni in cui faccio questi brutti disegni e decido di condividerli con voi! Ci sentiamo su SayItaliano, ciao!

ENG: Ciao! So today I wanna talk a bit with you about my “daily routine”, or generally my everyday life in quarantine. Lets say I wake up early enough, even if there are days in which I cannot get up before 10 A.M. because I tend to fall asleep pretty late (as you can see... maybe, when the camera focus works). Ehm... I wash myself, I comb my hair (this is supposed to be a bathroom, with a sink and a glass), I have breakfast and then I check the news (even if lately I’ve been doing this a little less, I’m trying to avoid reading too many things to not think too much). Then I start checking social medias accounts, also Sayitaliano, to see if there are questions or requests, and if I find something useful to share. But most of all I check the social media accounts of a couple of Associations I collaborate with, and eventually I post something.  If I have something to arrange, to wash (my beautiful wardrobe you can see it here... maybe, yes...) I do those things now or also after lunch.   Sometimes I prepare lunch, others it’s mym mum, we try to share duties a bit. I watch The Simpsons on TV, and then I go on with what I was doing before, if I have to. Maybe I call some friends, or message with them. Then I go in my yard to walk a little, and try to start exercising: I then go back inside and go on exercising (here I am with a ball, a weight and an elastic band: these are the tools I use the most). I then take a hot shower, until it’s not too cold - oh no, until it’s not too hot (outside), and not too cold, and then I have dinner: so I go back to my beautiful table. After that I read or watch a movie, or some videos on youtube, it depends a bit (on what I feel like doing)... and then I go backto bed, hoping I can fall asleep asap.  This is basically (these are) the things I happen to do almost everyday. There are days ofc in which  I do something else like gardening or other things: maybe I read a bit more and I’m a little less on social networks, or there are days in which I record videos as this one. I try to keep myself occupied, but I also try to not overdo things, or do stressful stuff, or I try not to do things I don’t wanna do. There also also days in which I make these awful drawings and I share them with you! See you on SayItaliano, ciao!

Listen: Crashing the Tech Industry on the Two Paychecks Podcast

A few months ago I was a guest on the Two Paychecks Podcast, an anarchist podcast out of the Pacific Northwest.

We talk about my gonzo adventures documenting the Uber/Lyft experience before going pro as a bonafide taxi driver. From recording the vapid attitudes of the new urbanites to going full-on Jerry Springer on a panel at a tech conference, this rambling exchange covers a lot of ground.
