La comitiva, en ese punto, ha emprendido el camino de regreso hacia la parroquia de la Misericordia para proteger la imagen del Patrón y, a continuación, se ha…

Azángaro en emergencia: lluvias intensas destruyen vías y ponen en riesgo a población

Las intensas lluvias en el distrito de San Antón, provincia de Azángaro, han causado graves daños en infraestructuras clave y en el sector agrícola, afectando viviendas, cobertizos, defensas ribereñas, puentes y vías de comunicación. Los constantes desbordes del río Progreso en la cuenca Ramis han agravado la situación, dejando a la población local en alerta y con necesidades urgentes de ayuda.

Uno de los problemas más críticos es el colapso de la vía vecinal que conecta el Centro Poblado Unión Soratira. Esta destrucción ha dejado incomunicada a la comunidad, dificultando el acceso a servicios básicos y aumentando el riesgo de aislamiento para los habitantes. Además, las defensas ribereñas, que protegen la zona de inundaciones, han sufrido graves daños cerca del puente carrozable, el cual también está en peligro de colapsar.

El gobierno local ha movilizado maquinaria pesada para intentar mitigar los daños, pero la falta de recursos y equipo adecuado ha limitado su capacidad de respuesta. A pesar de los esfuerzos, la magnitud de los daños y la complejidad de la situación requieren una intervención más amplia y urgente para evitar mayores perjuicios a la población.

Los pobladores de San Antón han hecho un llamado urgente a las autoridades del gobierno regional y nacional para que brinden apoyo inmediato. Las lluvias continúan afectando gravemente la infraestructura y la seguridad de los habitantes, quienes enfrentan un riesgo creciente de inundaciones y aislamiento.

La situación en San Antón sigue siendo crítica, y las autoridades locales insisten en la necesidad de una respuesta coordinada y eficiente para proteger a las comunidades afectadas. Mientras tanto, las lluvias no dan tregua, y el riesgo de más desbordes e inundaciones sigue latente en la región.

How to help the people in Spain

As you may have seen online, Spain is going through a flash flood since October 29. It's mainly affected the Community of Valencia but also some parts of the south-west and the cold drop is now moving to the north-east.

95 bodies have been found at the time I'm writing this (edit: 205 now), there's still people missing and entire towns are isolated as they don't have electricity and their roads have been destroyed. A lot of people don't have tap water or any means to cook. If you're wondering why people didn't evacuate beforehand, it's because authorities didn't care enough to warn people so technically everyone had to go to work and school. Though politicians should be held accountable, the most important thing at the moment is to help those in need. So here's some ways you can help both people and animals that have been affected.

NGOs and fundraisers

MOST NEEDED AT THE MOMENT: You can donate to Valencia's food bank by making a transfer to this bank account: ES86 2100 2806 6402 0009 8998.

Horta Sud is a county in Valencia that has been the most affected by the floodings. People are leaving their houses because they're scared of the infrastructure getting damaged and even walking by foot to Valencia capital to get food. You can help those families via this gofundme.

Hambre Cero is a Spanish non-profit that was founded after the earthquakes in Indonesia. They will be giving food to those who need it. Here's different ways you can donate.

This gofundme is joining efforts with the town hall of Valencia to help people who have lost their homes.

Una copa por Valencia ("a drink to Valencia") is a campaign organized by Spanish influencer David Aliagas. The idea behind it is to donate the amount of money you would spend on drinks on a night out. He'll be joining effort with local non-profits. You can help here.

Here's a thread of artists that are accepting commissions in exchange for donations for Valencia.

Spanish Kpop fans are organizing a collective fundraiser.

EDIT: took Cáritas and Spanish Red Cross out of this post after this tiktok made by a volunteer went viral and a lot of people posted their experiences working for these NGOs. Apparently they're not distributing food. Instead they're telling people not to send more food and send money instead so they can keep part of it.

Help people directly

Help Sara, Steven and Bruno rebuild their home in Valencia.

Help this high school teacher buy a new car to get back to work.

Raúl was about to open his barbershop on October 31 but it was destroyed by the flood. Please help him get his dream back.

Help the neighbours of Aldaia (Valencia) rebuild their homes.

This artist has been affected by the floods and lost their car. They've opened emergency commissions.

You can help rebuild the town of Letur (Albacete) by donating to this gofundme that's directly coordinated with the town hall.

Rebeca is a seamstress. Her studio was both her workplace and a place were came together for a sewing club in the afternoons. It was destroyed by the flood. You can help her rebuild it here

Animal shelters

Refugio Minipow was home to 50 rabbits and guinea pigs. Thankfully, the owners were able to move all the animals to their homes and those of their neighbors, though the shelter itself has been destroyed right after recent renovations. There's different ways to donate here.

El Refugio de María a dog shelter in Sueca (Valencia), is completely flooded, leaving the dogs visibly distressed, as shown here. You can donate to PayPal maria.g.may@gmail.com

Modepran is a dog shelter in Campanar (Valencia) where infrastructure damage has left some dogs without a proper sleeping area. You can donate through PayPal here.

Gatos Campo de Gibraltar is a cat shelter in Los Barrios (Cádiz). need of assistance for relocating cats to new homes and rebuilding damaged facilities. You can donate to their PayPal gatoscampodegibraltar@gmail.com

Protectora San Antón is an animal shelter for cats and dogs in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz). The entire place is flooded and the animals don't have a comfortable place to sleep in. Cats can't even walk on the ground. You can donate to their PayPal protectorasananton@hotmail.com

I'll be adding more as I find them. Thank you everyone for your help.

Edit: adding this because I keep seeing people on Twitter and Tiktok say it makes no sense to give money to people in a "first world" country. I need you people to understand that living in a western country doesn't equal politicians caring about you.

This whole thing started because politicians weren't doing their job and they're still not doing it. People (literal civilians, not firefighters or policemen) are literally pulling bodies from under cars and putting them inside the trunks so children in the affected areas don't see them. There's underground parkings still flooded by water and we don't know how many people may be inside them.

France offered to send us 200 firemen and the Ministry of Interior literally REFUSED. Some of these French firemen came on their own anyway. But that's what our politicians are doing. Negating help and pointing fingers at each other so they don't seem guilty.

what is happening in Valencia (Spain)?

More than 200 people have died and 2000 people are missing since the catastrophe that happened in Valencia, Spain, a couple days ago.

Valencia is one of the most popular and beautiful regions in Spain, often visited by lots of international — and national — tourists to have a great time in the summer.

Meteorologists said a year’s worth of rain had fallen in just eight hours in parts of Valencia — specially, in small towns — this Tuesday. In Spain, this phenomenon is called “Dana”, which is basically a “cold drop”, which causes saturated air to rise rapidly, leading to heavy rain, thunderstorms and tornadoes to happen.

For reference to americans: hurricane milton caused 27 dead, these massive storms in valencia caused more than 90 deaths in a region that is much, much smaller... the weather services warned about the danger, and political authorities still did nothing to send people home from their jobs. the civil alarms reached our phones at 8pm, when many were already trapped in cars, basements, malls, factories. the loss, especially human loss, is incalculable (from: @/woundposting on tumblr)

People who worked overnight for big companies were not even able to go back to their homes and ensure their safety — some of them, lots of them, even lost their lives in that same night. It has been three days now and there are still more reports of disappearances and deaths, and the government is NOT acting like they should. This is a tragedy, which could have been avoided if they only did one thing right, and no one is taking responsability — not the government, not the big companies who didn’t let their workers go home, no one.

It is always the working class people who help the working class people.

Since this is a situation that has took the whole country by surprise and horror, I will put more info under the cut if you want to know more, and if you want to donate to some gofundme’s.

Diego Javier Luis is assistant professor of history at Tufts University in Massachusetts. He is the author of The First Asians in the Americas: A Transpacific History (forthcoming, 2024).

Edited by Sam Haselby.

Cape Sebastian in Oregon perches above two forested declivities along a rocky patch of the state’s southern coast. Travel there today, and you are likely to miss a roadside marker that reads:

Spanish navigators were the first to explore the North American Pacific Coast. Beginning fifty years after Columbus discovered the Western continents, Sebastian Vizciano [sic] saw this cape in 1603 and named it after the patron saint of the day of his discovery. Other navigators, Spanish, British, and American, followed a century and a half later.

Standing before this sign, I winced rather predictably as I read ‘discovery’. But simmering beneath my displeasure with this word was a deeper conviction that Sebastián Vizcaíno’s voyage was, indeed, significant, though not in the ways that the sign suggests. Thousands of miles to the east, in Seville, the old centre of the Spanish Empire, I had stumbled upon Vizcaíno’s voyage in the dusty volumes of treasury records for the port of Acapulco, Mexico. Buried in line after line of winding, Baroque script were curious notations – ‘chino’ and ‘japón’ – next to the names of seven sailors that Vizcaíno had recruited for his voyage up the North American coast. To the tune of carriages rumbling through Seville’s cobbled streets and the crinkle of centuries-old pages turning, I read the names again and again:

Antón Tomás Antonio Bengala Francisco Miguel Cristóbal Catoya Agustín Longalo Lucas Cate Agustín Sao

Seven Asian sailors – entombed by an archive and forgotten by human memory – had sailed with Vizcaíno to what is now Oregon. Where in the chronology of Asian American history could these sailors fit? Flip to the beginning of most books on Asian America, and you will find no content earlier than the 19th century. You will be in the world of the Gold Rush, the transcontinental railroad, indenture, and the San Francisco and Los Angeles Chinatowns.

These seven names transport us to a different world, a different timeline, a different Asian America. These sailors’ presence off the coast of Oregon predated not just the entire Asian American canon but also the founding of the United States and even of the Thirteen Colonies. The histories of the first Asians in the Americas do not take place in the nations born from the fires of British colonialism but, rather, they guide us to a region rarely considered relevant to Asian American history: Latin America.

Cada 17 de enero se celebra el Día Mundial de Bendecir a los Animales, dedicado a la bendición y protección de los animales. Esta fecha de celebración coincide con las festividades de San Antonio Abad o San Antón.

En este día tan especial, miles de personas llevan a bendecir a sus mascotas a las iglesias, celebrando de igual manera el Día de San Antonio Abad, patrono de los animales. No se trata solamente de perros, periquitos o gatos los que reciben la bendición.

Puedes encontrar cualquier tipo de animales, como hurones, cocodrilos, serpientes y otras especies inusuales que son llevados a los templos religiosos para que sean bendecidos.

La bendición de los animales domésticos por parte de un sacerdote es toda una tradición que se originó durante la etapa colonial, por parte de los frailes franciscanos. Se reza por su protección y buena salud.

Hornillos de Camino - Castrojeriz (day 17)

Very easy walk today, we are in the Meseta of Spain and it is FLAT! Very close to our destination we came across the ruins of an old church (convent of San Antón) where they had snacks for pilgrims and trinkets for sale.

We have made it to our Albergue for the night and are thankful for the sunny evening!

Note to Jude: still fresh squeezed orange juice every day!

Puente recién inaugurado en San Antón corre riesgo de colapso por daños estructurales

Las lluvias en la región de Puno han provocado graves daños en el puente peatonal de San Antón (Azángaro) tras la crecida del río Ramis. La estructura, recientemente inaugurada, presenta rajaduras significativas en su base central que ponen en riesgo la seguridad de los usuarios, mientras las autoridades no toman acciones correctivas inmediatas.

Los pobladores de esta localidad han tenido que reducir el uso de este paso peatonal debido al incremento de las grietas en la zapata central, situación que amenaza con dejar incomunicados a cientos de vecinos que diariamente cruzan el río para realizar sus actividades cotidianas.

La población alerta que el aumento del caudal del río Ramis podría agravar los daños estructurales existentes, comprometiendo la estabilidad total del puente. Los residentes exigen al Gobierno Regional de Puno, responsable de la obra, una urgente evaluación técnica y reparación de la infraestructura antes de que las intensas lluvias de temporada empeoren la situación.

La aparición de estas fallas en una obra recientemente entregada genera cuestionamientos sobre la calidad de los materiales empleados y la supervisión durante su construcción, poniendo en evidencia posibles irregularidades que requieren una investigación exhaustiva por parte de las autoridades competentes.

Tan solo soy una víctima de la nostalgia pt.2

En casa de Idoia no vivía solamente Idoia. También estaban: Legolas, Marc, Martina, Ana, la madre de Martina, la vecina que incomodaba, el perro del patio, las gallinas y los recuerdos de muchas visitas.

Desde ahí solamente veía edificios blancos, amarillos y naranjas. No había vista a la barranca de San Antón ni pájaros cantando cada mañana. En esa cama escuchaba tu silencio.

Las mañanas se convertían muy rápido en noches, no se dieron cuenta que estaba aprendiendo a decir "comida" y "cena" en Catalán y necesitaba practicar.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Aún con poco tiempo, logré retomar mis ritmos durante los días que pedí fuera del trabajo. Salí a correr, a ver la ciudad, llamé a mis amigues, bebí, fumé, salí de fiesta, socializé.

-"Yow, me atropellaron

Estoy ok not ok pero ok"-

Atropellaron a Macs, fémur roto, cirugía. Estaba hospitalizado a 3 estaciones de metro de Carrer de Maignon. Lo pudimos visitar dos veces y le llevamos tulipanes amarillos que Idoia eligió. También, le tiró una carta del Tarot para el año, salió el alce.

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

"No quiero que te vuelvas a alejar de mí ahora que estamos otra vez cerca"

"Espero caerle bien a tus amigues y que tu gato no se incomode por mi presencia"

Estaba flotando por tu ciudad, bajo tus rutinas y costumbres. Me dejé llevar como si fueras un río, pues tus aguas eran suaves y me daban confianza.

La noche del Sábado primero de Marzo se sintió como vivir tres días en uno. Hacia el final de la madrugada ya no podía verbalizar nada cuando iba en el metro de regreso a casa.

Conocí a más compxs de Idoia. Ellx me había preguntado un par de días antes acerca de cómo me sentiría al verle interactuar con sus amigues, besandose y tocandose como lo harían siempre y yo respondí que todo iba a estar bien porque creí que estaba preparade en su momento, me superó.

Idoia estaba con Nati en el suelo de la Bellakera, lleno charcos por los tragos. Había quienes les grababan y estaban en modo performático, erotizandose, besandose, su pulgar en su boca.

"A la verga loco, no sé si ver eso, ¿Me volteo?. No sé si me excita o me intimida. No entiendo porqué debe ser voyerista, no entiendo porqué debe ser performático. Estoy pacheco, estoy borracho, ya terminó y ahora viene a besarme a mí. No entiendo nada, igual no tengo que entender. Me está dando popper, se siente bien, a la verga todo. Quiero ser ser menos insegure, menos berrinches, menos posesivo. Voy por otra chela y otro fume pero no aceptaré eme porque es la droga que hizo que Macs se quisiera matar"

Me senté con Idoia a escuchar sus mejores historias y sus mayores miedos en los desayunos de fruta y kefir. Le pedí que me contara la historia de cuando nos conocimos, esa noche en el Madame.

Quería escuchar de nuevo cómo se sintió cuando me detuve a mirarle por encima de mi hombro.

Idoia me dijo que mi lengua era suya, luego se quedó con uno de mis brazos y mi teta derecha. Me tiene, me entregué por completo.
