La tos y la paranoia





Image titled Make a Spider Man Mask Step 1Al parecer, por lo de la alergia, yo siempre toso. Estoy tan acostumbrada, me viene tan de serie, que sólo ahora me doy cuenta de que puede convertirse en una lacra social.

Me he hecho una máscara tipo spiderman con el dibujo (a mano) de un ácaro y salgo al súper con esto y un delantal que decía “soy alemana, pero no genocida”, que me regaló una amiga aria de gran humor judío, y que he tuneado a: “soy alérgica, pero no genocida”.

Como coindice que el rato que salgo a comprar (los miércoles, porque es el día que me ponen las videconferencias por la tarde, en vez de por la mañana), no toso ni una vez, la gente no entiende nada y me mira bastante mal. No sé si más mal que si tosiera.

Mañana es miércoles y la mascarilla que me está haciendo mi hermana no llegará hasta la próxima semana.

Me da miedo de que, si me quito el disfraz, toseré y la gente me denunciará, me encerrarán y no podré volver a casa con mi niña.

¡La de sueños raros que estoy teniendo estos días!

On times of extremisms



I'll take the hits accordingly, but please be respectful in your comments to my post (Jake)

Me -

Thank you such an inspiring question (and I apologize for the long dissertation coming up):

The big problem is "isms", as we know them. It is obvious that none of the systems have brought us to paradise. If "paradise" is what we are looking for?

Can paradise exist when people is dying terribly by the border next to us? Can we chose the news so THAT (how they kill them) does not reach our consciousness? (Today is a specially sadistic day for the Europeans to "regard" -as nothing- how they shoot on Greece borders to the Syrian refugees in cold water, with babies and all (once again!), so they drown in their plastic boats.

Mediterranean! Nice, ah!

I don't think I can eat my dinner tonite (But, hey! That's me! The puking tv It's been happening to me since journalists reached to my senses at about 4 years old!

Are we ready to give up such commodities as electricity at all times so we can rid of nuclear power and its cemeteries? (the big threat, as far as I know).

Or maybe it is not paradise what we are looking for... Then, what? Get the most of it as far as we live? Cool! I try to be an epicurean myself! But what if I get seriously sick? And how about if no mater how much I try, or if I get into the "special needs" bag, even then my work is not worth? I am contributing to the GDP anyway, right? How comes that I pay more for something that I would never get than rich people, in comparison?

Call it what you want.

I call it an unfair society.

None should be left behind. I believe in that case there would be no crime, no drugs, no mafia, no black money, no stupid politicians easy to buy. Politics should be professional. Vocational. Like a doctor. Like a teacher. Like a journalist.. . I am learning from young feminism nowadays in Spain- With new government. Fair pay, fair rent, fair education, no abuse. NO to any kind of abuse. There are so many important tasks in the world (beside army) to be done! We don't need to go the aggressive way! We don't need to kill, exterminate, let people die of hunger or epidemics (which vaccine is old and cheap) such as measles.

I think we've grown up. Science is. Intellectuals are. Techs are! And people is too! I believe people around the world would be willing to take the adventure, the leap, to go beyond all that. We can take the good things of capitalism (such as individual lead and ways to get the money to get it done!), communism (why not? To have a net of things we have universally guaranteed, so we can progress...), socialism (as soon as they step down the "party rules" they are very charming, literate, practical and industrious!)

To get HUMAN!

What else? What else can save humanity? All the art, all the History, all the songs and novels and knowledge! All the love! The love we can write and paint and sing and play and save and yet, deny? See, we are not animals anymore! Everything has already happened? Are we just PLAYING IT AGAIN, SAM?

Many people is suffering, refugees from wars that make no sense at all. They never made sense! But now WE KNOW that they make no sense! (Except for the industries that make money out of it and get into our governments to decide our present and future).

"Isms" is just a talk to entertain us. Like, say, Netflix or satisfyer. They don't really exist. We need RATIONALISM! And poetry! And listen to our scientists. They are the best prepared ever in history! There is no time to drink and talk, now.
