Happy (late) Working Woman's Day 💜💜💜

Kinda late bc I had lots of work to do the 8th and forgot about it 💀 and then I went on strike yesterday in protest of women's rights and dignity.

Which is the thing I'll be talking about here in order to commemorate the Feminist Movement!

I don't know about other countries, but here in Mexico we celebrate Women's Day and protest for three days. One of those days being March 9, a peaceful protest named "El Nueve no se Mueve" (The Nine doesn't Move of something like that), where women and afab people don't get out of their houses for the whole day (we call this type of protest "Paro", it's closest translation would be stop)

We don't go to school, we don't go to work, we don't even take out the trash. Some people even take this all the way to their social media, like I did.

The point of this protest is to demonstrate a world without women. What would happen if your sister, your co-worker, your girlfriend or your bestie suddenly disappears? Because that's the reality for a lot of people whose loved ones actually did.

Now obviously not every single woman in Mexico follows this for various reasons: they don't believe in the movement or this protest, they can't risk their job/studies, they just don't know about it. And this is all ok and respected.

There are women who can't skip a day and have to go to work, but do different things in order to support the fight when they can't join.

They refuse to speak for the whole day, wear full black and/or purple or don't do anything that would make them stand out.

Now let's talk about allies

Many people and places also demonstrate their support for the movement in many ways.

A good example is schools and teachers who let their afab students skip a day without any consequences.

Sometimes they also organize little festivities in order to educate people on the feminist movement. Like my college did: they dedicated March 8 to a Film Festival with Feminist Cinema and today (March 10) some feminist icons from the region will come and do a speech about their experiences in marches and other types of protests.

Sadly, many places don't care or respect this protest. With most places not allowing women to skip a day and even punishing them for taking part in the paro, or go the opposite way and cancel classes altogether. Which completely dismisses the whole point of the day.

But anyways, this is just one of the many other things we have here in Mexico to commemorate women's fight for equality, equity, liberation and dignity. There's still the Bloque Negro (Black Square) of the protests, the case of Luis Castillo and his missing daughter Esmeralda Castillo, and the murals filled with stories and confessions that girls put in their schools.

Not every country is as safe or as dangerous as the other, and by proxy not every protest is the same. I thought sharing this little thing from my country would be a nice way to share, educate and celebrate Women's Day with you people.

Have a nice Women's History Month too 💜

El que busca, encuentra

Entonces encontré un libro en mi biblioteca. Lo abrí para averiguar de qué se trataba (sugestionado por su título, imposible de ignorar para quien anda en busca señales: Destino). Era un poemario. Sus versos entretejían un secreto que a simple vista no conseguí descifrar. Sus páginas parecían envejecidas, plagadas de puntitos cobrizos como los libros viejos que sufren por la humedad. Pero no era un libro viejo. Sus datos editoriales lo remiten al lugar y la fecha específicos donde se hallan sepultados los restos de uno de mis yos del pasado (Una universidad en Bogotá hace casi 6 años). Pude sentir el crujido de los viejos huesos que creí inertes. Cerré el libro, de golpe, y le mostré mis dientes en señal de amenaza justo antes de volverlo a ocultar en su rinconcito de biblioteca.

No tengo indicios de cómo o cuándo llegó allí. Sé muy bien que no pude traerlo yo. También sé, ahora, que existe y está aquí. ¿Será esta la señal que busco? ¿Puede ser posible encontrar mi destino en el pasado? ¿Existe vida en aquel cadáver descompuesto? No tengo respuestas para las preguntas, más allá de una angustia creciente y un presentimiento que no logro discernir. Sea lo que sea, el destino llama, siempre. Lo quiera o no, es imposible huir de su llamado.

Leí El Emperador de Ryszard Kapuscinski hace algo más de cuarenta años. Me lo regaló Fernando Silva Nieto. Al paso del tiempo se convirtió en uno de los libros que más he regalado y que releo de vez en cuando. Hace algunas semanas salió a relucir en una conversación de amigos y me dieron ganas de volverlo a leer, tantas que tuve que comprarlo nuevamente pues mi viejo ejemplar no apareció por…

Debo de estar en el top 5 personas menos carismáticas que conozco. Sobre todo en la media distancia. Pensamiento intrusivo recurrente. Ojalá hacerme hueco más fácilmente en el cora de algunas personas.

en fin en otro orden de las cosas niñata
