Check out my new post after this long break! Starting from the last speech of the Union I give you my midly annoying opinion about the EU and our future. 🇪🇺

The EU is cooked.
The European Union is dying, and Ursula Von Der Leyen is hammering nails into its coffin.

New post on my blog 😏

How to survive to unaffordable cities: cooperative housing
Living in cities such as Barcelona is a nightmare: crazy prices, ugly and unsustainable flats, schizoid and greedy landlords, expensive groceries. It's time to build the alternative.

Living off the grid might be too much for many of us — and that’s okay. Not everyone can or wants to disappear into the woods, grow their own food. But what if there were an alternative? A way that doesn’t harm the climate or the communities around us.

New post on my blog!

Go Off-The-Grid or Die! 💀

The only way to survive to Technofeudalism and dispossession is living outside the Grid. We no longer own almost anything and we will own less and less. 🔋

Vroom vroom, I’ve written my first post on Substack!

It’s about electric cars and why they won’t save us (spoiler: just changing the engine isn’t enough to fix everything). 🔋🚗💨

Electric cars won't save us, public transportation will.
Mobility as a right, the premiumization and externalization of consequences.
