LLISTA D'ORGANITZACIONS I INICIATIVES PRO-PALESTINA ALS PAÏSOS CATALANS, ACTUALITZADA (MAIG 2024)

com tumblr és una plataforma angloparlant, la majoria de les notícies que circulen són de moviments i mobilitzacions als estats units, canadà, anglaterra, i altres països anglos. i encara que està molt bé construïr solidaritat interacional i assabentar-se del que passa a altres indrets del món, cal no perdre la vista sobre les accions i els esdeveniments que ens cauen molt més a prop.

han passat uns mesos després de la primera llista que vaig fer, i per sort, l'activisme pro-palestí segueix creixent als països catalans, amb manifestacions, col·loquis i xerrades, i ara, les primeres acampades estudiantils. on jo he trobat més convocatòries és a través d'instagram, però si coneixeu algun altre recurs digueu-m'ho.

Just some more coast pictures from Mallorca, but this time it‘s more about rocks and cliffs.

They‘re also taken with the Canon A1 on a ISO200 color/ negative film.

Just loved to take pictures of the sea 🌊☺️

Translation:

El Español (newspaper): The victory of parents like Sonia: 107 schools switch Valencian for Spanish because of the Mazón law.

Response: Is it possible that Spain is the only country where it's considered a victory the fact that your children will be only monolingual instead of bilingual?

Surely not the only one (imperialist countries very often try to exterminate the languages of the countries they occupy, which also means not allowing their children to learn the language of the place they move to), but Spain and France are particularly aggressive against the local languages that aren't Spanish and French, respectively.

Schools in the Valencian Country and the Balearic Islands (where the local language is Catalan or Valencian, two historical names for the same language) are being pressured to remove the local language from the school and to teach only in Spanish. In fact, the Spanish nationalist and far right-wing government of the Balearic Islands has announced that Catalan-speaking children and Spanish-speaking children will be segregated in schools from now on (parents will choose which school to send them to, accompanied with the propaganda pushing them to choose Spanish schools), with the purpose of reducing every time more and more who gets to speak and learn the islands' language, imposing Spanish instead.

Everyone learns Spanish regardless because it's the government's language and it's everywhere (TV, radio, netflix, social media, etc), plus we study it in school as a first language anyway. It's impossible to grow up here and not learn Spanish naturally as you grow up. But the same is not true the other way around. If children from Spanish-speaking families, immigrant families, and those families who have believed the decades of being told "speaking Catalan makes you sound uneducated/rural/stupid/rude, only Spanish is good for your children's future and makes you normal", if their children are only exposed to Spanish at home and on media, and because Catalan speakers are already bilingual and have an inferiority complex so will always switch to Spanish when talking to a Spanish-speaker, these children will never learn the language of the place they live in, and they will be monolingual Spanish speakers. When the number of monolingual Spanish speakers grow, Catalan speakers will be even more marginalized and won't be able to access healthcare in our language (though we already don't half of the time), won't be able to go to the shops and talk in our language, won't be able to have services in our language, etc. And, thus, they will have made our language almost useless for our everyday life. We will disappear from public spaces, and people will stop passing down the language to their children. And the language will die, and with it our way of understanding the world, the words that describe our culture, or our ability to read what our ancestors wrote, our country's literature, or to understand the names of the places we live in.

The point was always to exterminate our language and culture, to create their made-up dream of a unified Spain where everyone is the same, which has never existed. As Franco used to say, "we want an absolute unit. With one language: Spanish. And one personality: the Spanish one".

Cultural diversity is a richness and beauty of the world, and every language has an equal right to exist. Don't let anyone convince you that your language and your people don't deserve to live.

En groc, Catalunya, el país de la nació catalana. Aquest es divideix en diversos països polítics, o pàtries: el Principat de Catalunya, el Principat d'Andorra, les Illes Balears, i el País Valencià. L'Alguer és una ciutat sarda on s'hi parla català.

These are the only 2 books I have that my grandmother wrote (under a pseudonym). She was a contract writer in the 1960s for popular children's book publishers in Germany, chiefly Schneider Bücher.

Dilbi is another one of hers (cover image found online) - but most of these books were fodder for voracious young readers and have disappeared without much trace.

My grandmother liked to pick what were then considered 'exotic' locations and Dilbi awakened my interest in the beautiful Balearic Islands. So in the late 60s I travelled to Ibiza, which back then was still a sleepy tourist destination.

I remember how as 12-year-olds we went to the local stationery shop regularly to check out new arrivals of our favourite Schneider series. By far the runaway top sellers were (for girls) the Hanni und Nanni books; and for boys the Burg Schreckenstein ones. Both were set in boarding schools, a sure recipe (to this day) for childhood fascination. And yes, you read that right: books were colour-coded and marketed for Girls and Boys!

H & N live on in audio book format. The interesting facet is that these were adaptations (heavily edited and localised) of Enid Blyton's St Clare's series, spun off into its own German version. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Clare's_(series)
