Dos hogares; un espejo.
Pittsburgh está congela'o ahora mismo. Todavía estamos bregando con la nieve que nos tiró la tormenta Fern. Pero el reflejo... eso es Playa Puerto Hermina. 🇵🇷
Mi esposa (@happyhealthybabeofficial@instagram.com) y yo creamos esto, no pa' enseñar una fantasía, sino para mostrar la realidad completa. Hielo en el marco, salitre en el aire.

Two homes. One mirror.
Pittsburgh is frozen solid right now. We’re still digging out from the heavy snow of Winter Storm Fern. But the reflection? That’s Playa Puerto Hermina.
My wife (@happyhealthybabeofficial@instagram.com) and I built this image not to show "reality vs. fantasy," but to show the whole picture. Ice on the frame, salt in the air.

What humans see with their eyes matter, and while you might not know any specialised lighting software, we at SALUS lab have created #SALUSLux a python package that could help designers avoid something like this crash.

See our paper in my Google Scholar.

Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle is very walkable and many attractions are within walking distance from each other. This self-guided walking tour covers the highlights in architecture, history and culture.

We are halfway to the goal! After years of vigilance, this struggle finally gave me COVID—and trying to maintain the "perfectly OK" mask for job applications while being unsheltered and sick has been the performance of a lifetime.

But your support has changed the math.

The Timeline

Tonight: Securing a spot in a winter shelter or AirBnB in Pittsburgh. Hopefully I can get the $105 loan I need to get the place tonight.
Tomorrow: GoFundMe initiates disbursement. Then I go find a place to live for a month!

I have one more day of active fundraising because things have gotten worse with my current "host." Thank you for believing in me when it was hardest to believe in myself. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

It's a fun game of pretend. I have a COVID, I'm disabled, I have asthma, I am homeless.

But I get to keep applying for jobs while I pretend I'm perfectly OK. And the second work starts, I'll be working full-time with COVID, as if I'm perfectly OK.

If I want to survive, the only way to do so is to act like I'm perfectly OK.

I deserve an Oscar.

P.S. Pittsburgh sucks. I wish I'd never come here. I wish I'd never believed in myself.
