Dear friends, comrades, and loves,
pinning this photo here as an introductory note—como una forma de comenzar a conocernos.

In the alt-text I wrote some glimpses of who I am (today, a year ago), siempre tomando en cuenta que the ways in which one writes about oneself cambian de un momento a otro.

Estos días he estado pensando en ese #ElPressentiment que tantas veces he posteado, el de "no le deseo una identidad a nadie," y pensaba ¿qué es para mi la identidad, si no una amalgama de muchas identidades?

Por ejemplo, si me tuviese que autodefinir en este momento, podría decir que soy una persona no- binaria, blanca, latina (para algunos, sudaca); soy arquitecta pero más editora; hace unos meses me definía como bisexual y ahora reniego un poco de ese 'bi' que se me hace como una vuelta a lo binario, es decir solo soy una persona que ama a personas. Soy madre y muchas veces también soy padre; soy una persona que detesta las guerras, las banderas, el hambre y un poquito al ser humano; pero amo las nubes, los libros, la música; y un poquito al ser humano. Soy el producto de todas mis contradicciones; soy un ser que detesta lo inmutable y abraza la incerteza. Soy una persona que se define para entenderse, contarse y volver a indefinirse.

Soy todas mis identidades, las de ayer, hoy y mañana. Por eso, al igual que el pressentiment, no le deseo una identidad a nadie; les deseo muchas, todas las que sean necesarias para conocerse y crecer y les deseo la capacidad de cambiar y fluir constantemente. Eso es un poco la vida, supongo.

Exacto!!

La pregunta importante no es si el personaje naranja puede o no ganar un nobel de la paz. La pregunta importante es por qué se sigue dando credibilidad y legitimidad a unos premios que permiten que este tipo de gentuza sean nominados.

That’s the point, imho.

Hoy es el primer día de mis clases en este máster al que me han invitado y ando muy nerviose. Send good vibes 😎

My endless gratitude to @shannonmattern.bsky.social whose generous way of teaching and sharing knowledge has been an inspiration all way long.

Me gustaría que ganara el Nobel César Aira porque ps César Aira, pero no me gustaría porque sus libros se pondrían caros y se volvería una romería de lectores entusiastas del asterik y me gustaría conseguir algunas novelas más antes que pase todo eso

Sharing this, just because.

Just a reminder.

Si la Greta no quería que arrestaran y la maltrataran en la cárcel, lo hubiera pensado antes de hacer cosas perfectamente legales en arreglo al derecho internacional.

Con todo lo encomiable que sea la labor realizada por la flotilla sigue siendo el pueblo palestino en donde hay que poner el acento.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you

We all feel hopeless. Sometimes it feels like it’s not possible to do anything more. But we must remember that humanity still exists. There are tens of thousands of us protesting, and together, we will not stop until Palestine is free.

Will use this illustration for the kick off of my seminar «Care is what ‘becomes’ us» at the Master of Critical Design.

This is an illustration recoloured by Attilio Mussino from Carlo Collodi’s but ok ‘The adventures of Pinocchio’ (1911); as seen in the magnificent book Support Structures.

Illustration in black and white with a bit of greens, withe the wolf, the cat and a person looking at them. The text says:

“He had gone barely half a mile when he met a lame Fox and a blind Cat, walking together like two good friends. The lame Fox leaned on the Cat, and the blind Cat let the Fox lead him along, so that no one knew who was helping whom.”

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+
