Talleres en Alcalá de Henares

Hemos puesto fin al curso 2023-2024 de los talleres de la Concejalía de Igualdad de Alcalá de Henares gracias a IdeoIgualdad.

Me complace compartir una gran verdad: he aprendido más de lo que me esperaba. Más que todas las personas que han pasado por mis clases. Lo siento, pero es una realidad. Hemos pasado mucho. Para lo bueno y para lo malo, hemos estado al pie del cañón. Y he de decir que estoy muy orgullosa de lo que he hecho.

Gracias por contar conmigo para los talleres de risoterapia, expresión corporal, teatro y redes sociales y gestiones online. Me sentí la estrella del momento, con tantas carpetas y tantos diplomas, aunque siempre seré la misma niña buscando la mirada cómplice de su profe de teatro.

Una de las mayores lecciones que me llevo es que el mundo esta terriblemente falto de cariño... y que el cariño es la solución a todos los problemas. Problemas que vi en las aulas de secundaria se reflejaban en las aulas de mis talleres, que aparecían en todas las casas, en las calles, en las tiendas, en las redes. Nos acusamos de todo, juzgamos, nos cerramos en banda, no queremos compartir la realidad.

Es increíble cómo pararse a respirar y prometer tan sólo unos segundos de escucha o una pizca de confianza pueden cambiar las cosas. Lo único que hay que hacer es mostrar ese cariño.

Gracias al cariño infinito de mi madre y mi padre, de los/las docentes que me han acompañado, de mis amigos y amigas y de mis compañeras de trabajo. Porque, gracias a ese apoyo, yo he avanzado mucho y sigo avanzando.

Ese es el apoyo que quiero mostrar en las aulas. Una pizca de cariño con la que se construye una montaña.

El mundo cambia desde el buen trato.

Sigamos cambiando, divirtiéndonos aprendiendo, sin separarnos por colores, ideas, querellas. Que nos una ese cariño.

I haven't seen anyone mention this but I think having Fifteen cry so much is incredibly important. Boys and men are socialized into not crying or hiding when they are crying, so it's actually pretty rare to see a male character cry on tv. And to have him cry in almost every episode is even rarer.

I think it's really good to have a character like The Doctor, who is a kind of superhero, and who kids look up to, acknowledge that scary and sad situations can make a person cry, instead of retreating into the toxic masculinity of pretending he doesn't care.

La aventura termina...

#Beyou fue una oportunidad para que la juventud cambiara, no el mundo, pero sí su mundo. Desde España, un grupo de jóvenes promesas nos sorprendió conectando generaciones, facilitando el aprendizaje de las lenguas, visibilizando tabúes sociales e integrando a la población inmigrante. Presentaron sus proyectos en Atenas, gracias al acompañamiento de la #UAH , trabajando en conjunto con #OrganizationEarth (que nos ofreció sus instalaciones y su sabiduría), #FondazioneComunitariaDiAgrigentoETrapani (que también organizó la formación de mentores en Sicilia a la que tuve el placer de asistir), #HubNicosia y #ANDCTR.

Hemos echado una mano en #ΜΑΡΓΑΡΙΤΑ , un hermoso lugar que da apoyo y acompañamiento a personas con discapacidad intelectual, y hemos visitado #CentreOfTheEarth , un espacio verde y lleno de vida en el que se enseña a los niños y niñas a cuidar de la tierra. En un evento internacional lleno de actividades y emoción compartimos el talento y las ganas que la juventud Europea de hacer las cosas bien.

Como mentora/ #youthworker de proyectos españoles, me siento infinitamente afortunada y bastante orgullosa de las maravillas en las que tanto han trabajado. ¡Echad un vistazo!

- Concienciación de minorías estigmatizadas @entre.tabúes (IG/TikTok)

- Asesoramiento jurídico y burocrático @kaaylen._asc (IG)

- Inglés fácil y accesible @talktimetutorials (TikTok)

- Clases para manejar la tecnología más requerida en nuestro día a día con #GeneracionesConectadas de @elenagato5 (IG)

Muchas gracias por la organización y gestión, especialmente a Ines Lopez Baldominos y Luis Fernández Sanz, del departamento de ciencias de la computación de la #UniversidadDeAlcalá; y muchas gracias por contar conmigo una vez más. Este tipo de experiencias te cambian la vida.

I can’t wait to meet other queer Neil Gaiman fans so we can make a group chat called “Gaimen”

[elenjaxx]

Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by

Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.

You. Are. Overstimulated.

People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.

These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.

Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time

Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!

you know what actually pisses me off? when I finally start to feel a smidge of confidence in my writing ability and then some JERK POSTS A SINGLE LINE FROM A TERRY PRATCHETT NOVEL AND IT’S BETTER THAN ANYTHING I WILL EVER WRITE NO MATTER HOW MANY MILLENNIA I SPEND TRYING!

[elenjaxx]

Every fun post on here that encourages people to have hobbies/be creative always gets an avalanche of "Some people are poor Karen" type reactions and respectfully, you're all super annoying. I've never lived above the poverty line and this is a list of hobbies I have that were cheap or entirely free:

Read books: Go to the library, lend a book from a friend

knitting, crochet, embroidery: Get some needles from the bargan store and ask around, people have leftovers from projects they'll happily give you. Thrift stores also often carry leftover fabric and other supplies. And talk about your hobby loud enough and an old lady will show up and gift you their whole collection, because there are way more old ladies with a closet full of wool than there are grandchildren who want to take up the hobby.

Origami/paper crafts: get some scrap paper and scissors, watch a youtube tutorial

walking: put on shoes open door

pilates/yoga/etc: get a mat or just use your carpet, watch a youtube tutorial

Houseplants: look online for people that swap plant cuttings. There are always people giving out stuff for free to get you started. If you're nice enough you'll probably get extra

gardening: You're gonna need some space for this one of course but you can just play around with seeds and cuttings from your grocery vegetables.

aquarium keeping is a bit of an obscure one but I got most of my stuff second hand for cheap or free and now I have a few thousand euro worth of material and plants.

drawing/art: You get very far just playing with bargan store materials. I did my entire art degree with mostly those.

writing: Rotate a cow in your head for free

cooking: again one you can make very expensive, but there are many budget recipes online for free. Look for African or Asian shops to get good rice and cheap spices.

Join a non-profit: Cities will have creative organisations who let you use woodworking machines or screen presses or laser cutters or 3D printers etc etc etc for a small fee. Some libraries also lend out materials.

candle making: You need some molds (cheap), wick, two old cooking pots for au bain marie melting and a ton of scrap candles, ask people to keep them aside for you.

a herbarium, flower pressing: Leaves are free, wildflowers too, ask if you can take from peoples gardens.

puzzles: thrift stores, your grandma probably

Citizen science: look for projects in your area or get the iNaturalist app

And lastly and most importantly: Share! Share your supllies, share your knowledge. Surround yourself with other creative people and before you know it someone will give you a pot of homemade jam and when you want to paint your kabinet someone will have leftover paint in just the right color and you can give them a homemade candle in return and everyone is having fun and building skills and friendships and not a cent is exchanged. We have always lived like this, it's what humans are build to do.

And all of it sure beats sitting behind a computer going "No stranger, I refuse to let myself have a good time."

Anyway I'm logging off bc I'm making some badges for a friend who cooked for me and then I'm going to fix some holes in everyones clothes.
