Chapter 22.1: The Log Dolores has worked the same hospital basement for twenty-two years. This morning a pump refuses a firmware update it would have accepted yesterday. "I want my normal one. I'm used to it." "That one is being difficult."

❤️ Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother Dolores: “Being the mother of a story that marks generations is the greatest gift life has given me”. “There were difficult decisions, but fundamental ones. My lack of information was never greater than my instinct”. “We came from the bottom and we keep moving forward, bigger than ever…”. “Until the very end.

A special message from @Cristiano's mother Maria Dolores: Pride at her son's record-breaking @fifaworldcup achievements, and a thank you to fans for supporting Cristiano and for uniting around the FIFA World Cup. 🙌🇵🇹

Happy 94th birthday, Dolores! When I was a young organizer, reading about @DoloresHuerta’s life and work showed me what was possible. As one of America's great labor and civil rights icons, Dolores has devoted her entire life to advocating for marginalized communities. She knows the power of community organizing, and through the Dolores Huerta Foundation, she continues to train and mentor new activists and organizers. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede.” Yes, we can.

If you want to spend time in SF this fall, sublet my place September and/or October! We're in a 1br + living room + large office, or a 2br if you convert the office. Near Dolores Park area, and can share more specific details over DM if you are interested 💬

You can be very, very specific with your prompts. Here's an example to show just how detailed you can be: - a photo of a man and woman at a cafe in San Francisco, they are sat by the window - the view behind them is like the view from Dolores park, it is sunny, in the morning, blue sky, with warm remnants of fog - the cafe is a bit cramped and it's a busy morning - the man is wearing a pink polo t-shirt and white shorts, the shorts have an NBP motto - the woman is in a green and yellow summer dress with a banana motif, she has yellow-rimmed sunglasses, her shoes are blue - beneath their table is a curled up sleeping dog, it's a black and white french bulldog with a blue collar - the table is round and metallic - on the table lies an old 80s book with the title "How to prompt AI", a pink post-it note acts like a bookmark - on the window of the cafe a beautiful design says "Nano's Cafe" in gold etched lettering in a circle (it's mirrored), - on the table is an iced latte and a capuccino, the capuccino has swan latte art - there's also a Nano's Cafe menu on the table - they are both pulling awkward poses for the photo
