I don't know what I am and I'm not proud
It has become a topical expression in many of the demands: “I’m like that and I’m proud.” I don't know what I am, but I do know I'm not proud. The proud are the biscuits, not the people. A friend told me that the trajectory of our former clowns team was a source of pride. Like Our Duke and Our Lord, I replied with a parable: “There were two sisters with young children and old parents. Every day on vacation, all the children were picked up at their father's house. There they played in the big room, where their parents were busy or not. There was also, in the chair, the old father, with whom he had long been unable to walk or speak. To entertain the children, the videos of Txirri, Mirri and Txiribiton were shown over many hours.
One of the sisters, upon returning from the street, said:
“Aizan, it seems that the father means something.
“Impossible, girl, you have been saying nothing for four years. They approached him, but the old man said to them without a voice:
“You’ll take all of those big clowns out of TV at once!”
This is not a parable, but what has really happened to some of you. These were the last words of this father (a bit thicker if true), who died a few days later. A good vaccine against our possible witchcraft.
It is also sad to be unhappy. Everyone needs a joyful approval of himself, in order to be able to live healthy. In the song of our grandparents' time, when the white skin was fashionable, this idea appears very well:
They say I'm
a swan, they
have a white
juniper cell, absurd.
Beautiful white, twelve to
twelve, funny plums,
two out
of a thousand.
The beloved writer Claudio Magris visited Bilbao and Berria interviewed him: “More than he has written, he seems to be proud of those he has read.” Pride, however, is not well linked to the contributions made through its work. The topic takes us before we realize it.
Thankful, he then recalled two pearls to the best European culture: “More important than respect for tradition is the defence of rights. To discover the neighbor is to discover in the background that there is no neighbor. It's not that different."
Proud of the ideas of funny plum.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.
I will confess... [+]
This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
