Too economist to be a historian. Too historian to be an economist.
My expressed ideas here are usually the slaves of some defunct economist, and my employer is alive and not an economist.
Missing home, wherever that is.

![Friends say Saldaya often took her ideological cues from her business partner. After Norris-Clark decided she did not believe in gravity, Saldaya announced she was no longer "round [Earth] committed". When Norris-Clark said she no longer believed in germ theory, Saldaya told friends she did not wash her hands. When Norris-Clark said she no longer identified as a feminist and wished to submit to her husband, Saldaya quietly stopped marketing the podcast as "radical feminist".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:spakmz3fuwmtmrkfkc33bwti/bafkreieujc453onkiey7jkgboggkv2kgd4eua4pmqo2ka7ohhxqgpm5o4y@jpeg)

En México las diferencias enormes entre clases sociales se convierten en deshumanización. No compartes prácticamente nada con tu jefe o un subalterno. Ni el transporte, ni el ocio, ni comes o tomas el café en el mismo sitio. Estáis aislados el 90% del tiempo.

Cuando se glorifica y mitifica el pasado (¡ay, la nostalgia de los 90!), conviene recordar que era una época en la que no sólo se ignoraba el maltrato machista, sino que se glorificaba al maltratador y se hundía (aún más) a la víctima.
Y vaya papelón, Ana Rosa. Otro más.

El despido de Lecquio, aunque aún no lo sabíamos, fue el día que Antonia Dell'Atte levantó el teléfono. Después, la entrevista. Y luego reuniones, documentos y la resistencia de Ana Rosa Quintana. Pero aún así. Aquí, cómo se gestó esa salida histórica, e inédita.

As suspected, it’s Utah
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
