I've looked at my mother's calendar in the kitchen. A nebulous landscape of Mungialdea and under it a quote: “Euskera is a bisexual language. Anari.” I read it out loud. My mother and I have interpreted it differently. Because he believes that there are no gender marks in Basque. Because I all Basques are both Castilian. Well, my mother will be right.
When I was little, in addition to the mythical song Woman vs Woman from Mecano, another one harvested me in my bowels: “And we got in the car / my friend your friend you and I / I told you baby kiss me / you answered no.” Later I learned with despair that the song did not speak of Ana Torroja's wishes, but that José María Cano wrote the letters. This created an interesting mix, and at that time we had to read the sexual diversity between the lines. Lesbians have claimed Canadian singer Rosana, even though they have interpreted the theme “When a night of desperate love/Caigamos together and entangled.” When I was young, it never occurred to me that Ken Zazpi was willing to steal the moon every night for a kid or that the Latzen singer was losing his head because of a transgender person. Euskera will be a bisexual language (or, according to Amelia Barquín, queer), but unfortunately, for the time being, we have rooted heteronorma and binarism.
I have never linked, debated, broken, or dreamed of Basque. I have maintained my affective connection with the Basque Country, but living in Bilbao in Spanish is a comfortable way. Writing in ARGIA and participating this year as 'Ahobizi' in the eleven of 'Euskaraldia' in Bilbao has helped me to enjoy the Euskera road
I am writing this article on the third day of Euskaraldia and I know that in Bilbao the Basque is dissent and the Spanish rule. When I was little "playing movies" with my friends, in secret, to have an excuse to kiss her, but I knew having a boyfriend was the right path. As a teenager, I continued with my boyfriends, that was the most comfortable illuminated freeway, even though it would mean paying a lot of travel prizes. The path that lesbian people could see from afar was appealing, but abrupt. Thanks to feminism, I deviated from the hetero-regularity and made my way. I grew up bilingual, but soon the hegemony of Spanish prevailed. I have never linked, debated, broken, or dreamed of Basque. I have maintained my affective connection with the Basque Country, but living in Bilbao in Spanish is a comfortable way. Writing in ARGIA and participating this year as Ahobizi in the Basque Country of Bilbao has helped me to enjoy the Basque road.
It's often used in Euskera, the metaphor of coming out of the closet. Book with your girlfriend in a hostel and don't know what attentions you're going to receive, it's uncomfortable and can be violent. He speaks in Basque at a store in Bilbao and you don't know what is going to attract your attention; it's uncomfortable and can be violent. Those who wear Ahobizi veneer have complicit looks on the subway, as do women who have a pen. The code “do you understand?” between gays and lesbians is used in Spanish.
I have read in an article by Imanol Epelde that only 200,000 of the 750,000 bilingual Euskaldunes ever consumed literature, music or journalism in Basque. When a bisexual woman has pairs of women, they will ask if she does not miss men (or dogs). I have never heard the opposite. Do you know half a million Basque bilinguals, what are they losing? SURE. New. Danele Sarriugarte, Arantxa Urretabizkaia, Uxue Alberdi. Anari. ZEA Mays Maialen Lujanbio. Etc. When I was completely immersed in the Spanish rule, no one asked me about that loss. Hegemony can be a convenient means, but what are the travel tolls to pay?

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]
We have renewed the dialogue in the secretariat of the faculty, for the most auspicious: they are far away, for their enrollment, the times when only the students came. The trend has changed for a long time, and parents – most notably mothers – are taking an increasingly... [+]
The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I have recently worked in class on Etxahun Barkox’s beautiful and touching cobla. The bad guy! The afflictions of the house began because of the creation of the “praube with beauty”, but in seventeen years she had entered the sea of misfortune, having to abandon the girl... [+]

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
The Department of Education doesn't understand why public employees have gone on strike. He's got to ask the LAB Syndicate. This union signed an agreement with the department in April 2023. Two years later they have also called for a strike because, unlike the previous ones, the... [+]
