This happens to me pretty frequently.

I think is alright, language is a bridge and sometimes we feel more comfortable speaking our native language than others. But I don't really mind speaking in English or Spanish with people I meet in Brazil. But the moment of realization that you are talking with another native speaker is always full of joy.

#feels-nice to speak with other bilingual or polyglots :)

Fuck it, from where I come from: people in agriculture get smacked just by existing or trying to build common cause with "let's end hunger in the world". I'm with you, salutations from America Latina ! And let's make those fuckers get what they deserve.

Hey everyone, fellow anarchist. I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate:

  • Protestors all around the north stopped Israel help, thefore helping Palestines.
  • EZLN dynamism to adapt to ever-changing situations and a great sense of humor.
  • Protests Against Cop City in Atlanta helps counter-act authoritarianism in a country that historically has been the empire.
  • AANES/Rojava territories exist and keep on giving a great fight against all odds.
  • The Myanmar resistance against their fascist opponent where the alliance is giving them a run for their money.

I share this mostly because I'm are coming out of a very upsetting situation that I'm sure many people share.

To share the feeling that the world and our friends Solarpunks are imagining is being made in the middle of gardens where bullets fly like mosquitoes in the jungle. Too many. And it is always in our hands to take the necessary actions to put the seeds of empathy and international solidarity. To combat bigotry and hate speech while giving hope to those around us.

We are not saviors, not at all. People can only save themselves, and it is that friendly hand, the shoulder where you can cry, and the compañerxs you can trust who push and guide us to see in this significant penumbra.

So, l want to celebrate that you guys exist. You artists who imagine the future; you freedom-fighters; you who choose to identify as or decided to love a man, woman, or non-binary people; you workers who share their know-how; you parents who care for the future; you from the global south or north; you from whatever skin color you were born with: I celebrate you, and I applaud your work so far.

Let me know of any progress I may have missed in my message of individuals striving for autonomy and acknowledgment so that we can celebrate their achievements even more.

I hope you all have a great day, and remember that, at least from this geography of South America, at least one capybara is celebrating you.

"Force is that which makes a thing of whoever submits to it. Exercised to the extreme, it makes the human being a thing quite literally, that is, a dead body. Someone was there and, the next moment, no one. The Iliad never tires of presenting us this tableau [...]

The force that kills is summary and crude. How much more varied in operation, how much more stunning in effect is that other sort of force, that which does not kill, or rather does not kill just yet. It will kill for a certainty, or it will kill perhaps, or it may merely hang over the being it can kill at any instant; in all cases, it changes the human being into stone. From the power to change a human being into a thing by making him die there comes another power, in its way more momentous, that of making a still living human being into a thing. He is living, he has a soul; he is nonetheless a thing. Strange being—a thing with a soul; strange situation for the soul! Who can say how it must each moment conform itself, twist and contort itself? It was not created to inhabit a thing; when it compels itself to do so, it endures violence through and through."

Simone Weil on her text about The Iliad, or The Poem of Force


I was introduced to Simone Weil and her thoughts on the force by a philosopher I admired when he spoke about this poem while discussing the war in Palestine with his audience. I find them to be profound. By far, it has been the definition of force I find more natural to talk about when I reflect on the nature of violence.

You guys might like it or discuss it.

Keep on fighting the good fight, fellow compañeros.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share Pantube for Spanish speakers around here. It's a collective effort by many content creators all around the internet. They are just beginning, so I want to help expose this project to the rest of the world :)

This is great :) I hope this brings more devs to Godot so we can get this great tool to be the best it can be for the GameDev Community!

I think there is no reason to not lie at your resume while you are confident you can do the task. Most jobs out there are pretty BS anyway.

Our good compañero Andrewism just uploaded a new video about Solarpunk. In this case, he's covering plants and their many uses for our future solarpunk societies.

Hope you all enjoy it.

To add to your nice post, I'll share a poem by Xu Lizhi before he unfortunately decided leave this world, it is called "I Fall Asleep, Just Standing Like That" (here's the source). I think it expresses why a world free from stress and anxiety is needed:

I Fall Asleep, Just Standing Like That

眼前的纸张微微发黄 The paper before my eyes fades yellow

我用钢笔在上面凿下深浅不一的黑 With a steel pen I chisel on it uneven black

里面盛满打工的词汇 Full of working words

车间,流水线,机台,上岗证,加班,薪水…… Workshop, assembly line, machine, work card, overtime, wages...

我被它们治得服服贴贴 They've trained me to become docile

我不会呐喊,不会反抗 Don't know how to shout or rebel

不会控诉,不会埋怨 How to complain or denounce

只默默地承受着疲惫 Only how to silently suffer exhaustion

驻足时光之初 When I first set foot in this place

我只盼望每月十号那张灰色的薪资单 I hoped only for that grey pay slip on the tenth of each month

赐我以迟到的安慰 To grant me some belated solace

为此我必须磨去棱角,磨去语言 For this I had to grind away my corners, grind away my words

拒绝旷工,拒绝病假,拒绝事假 Refuse to skip work, refuse sick leave, refuse leave for private reasons

拒绝迟到,拒绝早退 Refuse to be late, refuse to leave early

流水线旁我站立如铁,双手如飞 By the assembly line I stood straight like iron, hands like flight,

多少白天,多少黑夜 How many days, how many nights

我就那样,站着入睡 Did I - just like that - standing fall asleep?
