¿DONDE ESTAN?/WHERE THEY ARE?

okay, amm.....

This is something I did for something in my country called "the march of silence"

In case you didn't know, in the 60s-80s after what happened with the Cuban missile crisis and it became a communist country, the United States became paranoid that the other countries in Latin America would follow it, so who created several HORRIBLE things like "the school of the Americas" which is basically a school for dictators, and the well-known Condor Plan.

Several Latin American countries (Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, etc.) suffered civil-military dictatorships where, thanks to the Condor plan and the support of the state (with the backing and support of the United States), thousands, MILLIONS, were kidnapped, tortured, murdered and disappeared. people who were suspected of being "communists."

One of the best-known incidents related to Latin American dictatorships is "The Night of the Pencils" in Argentina, where some HIGH SCHOOL kids protested for having the student bulletin for transportation.

Several of those students were disappeared and only one was able to leave after months of torture. for protesting for a BASIC right..

This is what the US thought of as "communist" and addressed this type of people - victims of its horrible tricks - as TERRORISTS. TO TEENS. TO ALL THE MISSING. OF ALL COUNTRIES.

and you will say, but it is obviously something horrible! People know what happened and those responsible received what they deserved!... right?

well not the truth.

Most of the dictators when democracy returned had VERY light sentences or even did not even set foot in prison, the same for many torturers and officials who participated.

And what is worse, several died without having told where the missing people were, without giving closure to their relatives who continue searching to this day.

There are testimonies, evidence, bodies found of the few missing people who were not thrown into the sea on the death flights, and yet there are people who believe these horrible people, these MONSTERS who say that dictatorships never happened. They say that with the military we were "better"

fucking shit

Every May 20th we become relatives, FAMILY, all of us, the relatives of those who lived, those who did not. and we demand TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND MEMORY FOR THESE PEOPLE.

The flower without a petal is the symbol of these people, the torn petal is the missing family member, who was stolen by the state.

I know this seems stupid and sudden because most of you are English speakers and you probably don't care, but I think it is VERY IMPORTANT that this be known, that we inform ourselves and fight these types of things as we can. so that they NEVER happen again.

NEVER MORE.

okay, amm.....

esto es algo que hice por algo de mi pais llamado "la marcha del silencio"

por si no lo sabias, en los años 60-80 después de lo ocurrido con la crisis de los misiles de Cuba y que pasará a ser un pais comunista, Estados Unidos se volvió paranoico de que los otros paices de Latinoamérica le siguieran, por lo que crearon varias cosas HORRIBLES como "la escuela de las Americas" que es básicamente una escuela para dictadores, y el conocido Plan Condor.

varios paises de Latinoamérica (Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Etc) sufrieron Dictaduras civico militares donde gracias al plan condor y el apoyo del estado (con respaldo y apoyo de Estados Unidos) secuestraban, torturaban, asesinaban y desaparecian a miles, MILLONES de personas que tenían bajo sospecha de ser "comunistas".

uno de los incidentes mas conocidos relacionados a las dictaduras latinoamericanas es "La noche de los Lapices" en Argentina, donde unos chicos DE SECUNDARIA protestaron por tener el boletin estudiantil para el transporte.

Varios de esos estudiantes fueron desaparecidos y solo uno pudo salir despues de meses de tortura. por protestar por un derecho BÁSICO..

es lo que EEUU pensaba como "comunista" y se dirigia a este tipo de personas-victimas de sus horribles jugadas- como TERRORISTAS. A ADOLECENTES. A TODOS LOS DESAPARECIDOS. DE TODOS LOS PAICES.

y diras, pero es obviamente algo horrible! la gente sabe lo que paso y los responsables recibieron su merecido!...no?

pues la verdad no.

la mayoría de los dictadores cuando regreso la democracia tuvieron penas MUY leves o incluso nisiquiera pusieron un pie ej la carcel, lo mismo para muchos torturadores y funcionarios que participaron.

y lo que es peor, varios murieron sin haber dicho donde estaban los desaparecidos, sin darle un cierre a sus familiares que hasta el dia de hoy siguen buscando.

hay testimonos, pruebas, cuerpos encontrados de los pocos desaparecidos que no tiraron al mar en los vuelos de la muerte, y aun asi hay gente que le cree a estas personas horribles, a estos MONSTRUOS que dicen que las dictaduras nunca ocurrieron. que dicen que con los militares estabamos "mejor"

puta mierda.

cada 20 de mayo nos vovlemos familiares, todos, los familiares de los que vivieron, los que no lo hicieron. y exigimos VERDAD, JUSTICIA, Y MEMORIA PARA ESTAS PERSONAS.

La flor sin un pétalo es el símbolo de estas personas, el pétalo arrancado es el miembro de la familia que falta, que fue robado por el estado.

se que esto se ve estúpido y repentino porque la mayoria de ustedes son anglosajones y de seguro no les interesa, pero creo que es IMPORTANTISIMO que se sepa esto, que nos informemos y combatamos este tipo de cosas como podamos. para que NUNCA MAS vuelvan a ocurrir.

NUNCA MAS.

La portada de Bohemia en 1940

En 1940 emerge una de las más bellas representaciones de la República en las páginas de Bohemia. La alegoría constituye una réplica bidimensional de una escultura: un busto femenino, elegantemente estilizado, con un gorro frigio y una corona de laurel sobre su cabeza, y a sus espaldas, la bandera cubana. La síntesis de elementos es la máxima. Los contextos, escenas, el exceso de atributos…

20 de mayo de 1902: la nación de rodillas (IV parte). Por Ernesto Limia Díaz

La Administración McKinley evaluó que un convenio con Cuba negociado en forma de tratado tendría que ser aprobado por dos tercios del Senado y ello podía entorpecer sus miras; el modo más seguro de imponerlas era conseguir que el 55 Congreso —de mayoría republicana y responsable de la Resolución Conjunta— sancionara los términos de las relaciones antes del 3 de marzo de 1901, cuando finalizaba su…

A Floral Inconvenience

You came into Twisted Wonderland with nothing but the clothes on your back, a literally fiery cat, and an immune system not conditioned to handle the foreign antibodies in the air, earth, or water. It was honestly a miracle that you hadn’t caught some sort of incurable disease, probably because most diseases here required magical output to survive, like plants and water. You weren’t immune to your own feelings though, and magical disease and illnesses have a funny way of adapting themselves to their potential host. It was then that you found yourself prepared for springtime hay fever and allergies, after all pollen was pollen no matter where you were at. What was unexpected, and thus not prepared for, was the disease known as hanahaki, or the flower sickness. Long ago, there existed a family of mages that lived in a small mountain village deep within a jungle that was established by a family of mages. The family protected their village with fantastical and magical abilities, each unique and extraordinary as generation from generation grew. One of those mages, the Flower Bride, had the ability to grow a magnificent array of flora with just the wave of her hand! Flor de mayo, jacarandas, figs and vines all made their home with the Flower Bride. She had a heart so full of feelings, love for her home, family, and her beloved, of course, that her very emotions affected how dazzling those blooms were. The Flower Bride then decided that others should be able to demonstrate their love in the same beauteous display as she did: after all, who wouldn’t want their love developing into only the most lovely blooms? As such, hanahaki was born. Some see it was a blessing, a push, an opportunity for one to confront their feelings. It’s a realization that what they’re feeling is indeed true, the type of love that can only be achieved in fairytales. Others saw it as an inconvenience: after all, sometimes it just wasn’t the right time to confess your love, or they’d be coughing up petals mid-speech, kind of annoying honestly. Yet the sickness would continue until they acknowledge their feelings, the love died down, or it became a chronic illness. Officially dubbed hanahaki by researchers in the East, the disease was also referred to as the flower sickness, being twitterpated, and sometimes even the lovesick florae by the general population. The most commonly afflicted persons fit into two categories: the positively, without a doubt, enamored sort, the twitterpated or lovesick sort of folk. Or, they were the kind to bury their feelings deep deep down and just one day die. It wasn’t unique to any singular species either. It had adapted to afflict humans, beastmen, and even merfolk. Why, not even fae were immune despite their natural immunity to magical disease. Really, it shouldn’t have been any surprise that the emotionally stunted students of Night Raven College would be prime targets for their own bout of hanahaki.

Dialogue Prompts

“Why is your trash can full of flower petals? Are you secretly a botanist, or is there something you're not telling me?”

“So, I hear you've been coughing up daisies lately. Got any plans to enter the flower business?”

“You know you have it bad when you start sneezing petals every time your crush walks by. At least it's a colorful allergy!”

“I can't believe you're faking a cough just to get some attention. And you're using fake flowers for the petals? That's commitment!”

“I think the local florist is in love with me. Their shop is making a killing off my Hanahaki. Do you think they'll give me a discount?”

“You've got to stop sending secret admirer bouquets to yourself. The delivery guy is starting to think you have a dozen secret admirers.”

“I've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but wearing petals in your hair is a whole new level of fashion statement.”

“I have a steady, loving partner. you on the other hand have a left hand and a sunflower cough.”

“Why'd I have to get a nose full of lilies? I'm allergic, this is so unfair.”

“You think with all the lavender on my head I could make my own syrup out of it?”

“No, I've been practicing my sleight of hand! Watch as I make a bouquet of tulips magically appear—ACK!”

“No, I haven't been growing marigolds out of my ass. Why would you even ask that?!”

“Here, your favorite flower! Hmm? Where'd I get them? Uh, I just found them, around…”

“I'd rather have the thorniest, pesticide ridden roses grow in my mouth before I'd ever admit having any sort of affection for them!”

“Sooo, are you gonna apologize for puking dahlias all over my breakfast?”

“I've never heard of a flower sickness, are you talking about seasonal allergies?”

“Look, even if confessing would let me get rid of the poppies, I'd rather not. Maybe I'll just learn how to make poppy seed muffins or something.”

“Is this normal here?” “Only for the emotionally unavailable folk.” “Ah, so it is.”

“Dude, are your freckles turning into baby's breath?” “AHH!”

“Aren't lotus flowers really good for your skin? Babeeey, I'm set for life—” “NOT WHEN THEY'RE GROWING OUT OF YOUR EARS!”

“Look, I care for you and want you to get laid, but imagine all the money we'd save on tea if you kept growing chamomile from your head.”

“Blehhhg…” “You know I always knew I'd be holding your hair back as you puked your stomach out at a party, I thought it be from the alcohol though, not flowers.”

“You know, some people pay a lot of money for Hanahaki bouquets, have you considered—OW! It was just a suggestion!”

“I'm so happy that you confessed first.” “Why?” “If I had to dig out another hydrangea petal from my teeth, I was gonna lose it.”

“Man, sunflowers have got to be the worst to be puking up.” “Nah man, it's roses and their thorns! They scrap up all up your gums, my dentist bill after was ridiculous!”

The Religious right is discussed on KPFA Radio in 1995

I taped a show about Church vs State that I was listening to on May 4, 1995. I listened to the show today, 12/29/2024, and was amazed at how it was a precursor of Project 25 and Trump 2.0. 

The following are my notes from the show. I didn't catch the names of the participants, and my old cassette tape which I taped the show on refuses to rewind! If it ever decides to work, I will include their names:

They call themselves the Religious Right. “Religious Right vs Religious Wrong. I wouldn’t want to give them the compliment of calling them right.”

The  Jewish community, just like the Christian community, has right wing extremists.

The Religious Right expresses political views as religion.They claim to speak God’s word on all subjects. Belief is all that it takes. They don’t care about the facts. There is no room for negotiation. The Methodists, unlike the Religious Right, believe in the quadrilateral: Scripture and Tradition, Reason and Experience.

 Progression involves drawing people in. The Religious Right excludes people.

Progrssive beliefs per the Religious Right are not right. The Religious Right attempts to impose on the rights of others. Examples given were in schools and regarding abortions.

 They create a threat to the normalcy of our lives.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next show on KPFA announced  events regarding Mexico and Mexican Americans , Cinco de Mayo, which would be taking place May 5th and 6th, 1995.

Jump ahead about 30 years to today, December 30, 2024:

The issues of Church and State and of Mexican Americans and Mexico have been smoldering for the last three decades and are about to ignite into a raging brush fire on January 20, 2025 at noon EST when Trump is sworn in. 

In the 1995 show, they announced that there was going to be a meeting of a group whose aim was to keep church out of state. They were right on point. We should keep that spirit alive. 

Gays have no rights per the Religious Right.

Compromiso con las Abejas por una produccion agricola respetuosa de los polinizadores.

Las abejas y otros polinizadores son fundamentales para la salud de los ecosistemas y la seguridad alimentaria. Ayudan a mantener la biodiversidad y garantizar la producción de alimentos nutritivos. Sin embargo, el monocultivo intensivo y el uso indebido de plaguicidas plantean graves amenazas para los polinizadores al reducir su acceso a alimentos y sitios de nido, exponerlos a sustancias químicas perjudiciales y debilitar sus sistemas inmunológicos.

Bajo el lema “Compromiso con las abejas: por una producción agrícola respetuosa de los polinizadores”, en el Día Mundial de las Abejas de 2023 se hace un llamamiento a la acción a todo el mundo con miras a apoyar la producción agrícola favorable a los polinizadores y se pone de relieve la importancia de proteger las abejas y otros polinizadores, especialmente mediante prácticas de producción agrícola basadas en datos objetivos.

La ceremonia del Día Mundial de las Abejas 2023, que se celebrará en formato híbrido en la Sede de la FAO el viernes, 19 de mayo, constituirá una oportunidad para sensibilizar acerca de la importancia de adoptar prácticas de producción agrícola favorables a los polinizadores para proteger a las abejas y otros polinizadores, contribuyendo al mismo tiempo a la resiliencia, la sostenibilidad y la eficiencia de los sistemas agroalimentarios.

I watched Emilia Pérez, and suffice to say I didn't like it.

It was somehow more transphobic than Ugly Betty, a show from 2006 that has its own problems, but at least the trans character never calls herself "half-man" or drops her voice into a more masculine register when she does bad stuff.

It was somehow less respectful than Evita, a movie from 1996 that has its own problems, but at least they don't try to absolve a former member a military junta of his sins by having him work with Madres de Plaza de Mayo while still being somehow involved with El Proceso in some vague ill-defined way.

The songs were repetitive and bad, the there was no plot and no point and no artistry. It wasn't a redemption arc, it was at best a redemption smash cut.

I heard that AI was involved only to discover that it was involved primarily in the sound-mixing, not the writing, a thing I was fully ready to accept. Learning that he wrote it all himself somehow lowered my opinion of the French cis writer director.

In a world where this movie was a little less transphobic and a lot less racist, it would still be trash, but I could at least see it being My Trash, but in no world should it have been nominated for any awards other than Razzies.

And yet it was nominated for 13 Oscars while better queer films like Challengers and I Saw The TV Glow were nominated for a collective zero.

20 years after Crash won best picture, Emilia Pérez follows in its sordid foot steps.
