Now it's scary to make some jokes. There's no humor. They irritate immediately. You also cannot tell when you can touch your skin. Now you can't tell a person that you're a girl or a boy. How many jokes can't be made! Those of origin, those of sexual orientation, those of fat, those of tarts, those of blacksmiths… The worst is not to narrow the ground for jokes, the worst is that some debates have become taboo, they cannot be raised.

Feminism, anti-racism, the thin skin of some collectives (LGTBIQ+, look at how many letters to not offend anyone), parents of all kinds of children, defenders of the politically correct, and, of course, the Buenist Left.

I would say that at some point it has happened to anyone who lives in some privilege, to consider the defense of some dignity as contrary to any of our rights, to move in the chair with impotence, to start building some discourse and to feel cymatical inside. Paying attention to that wrinkle and seeing that pain felt not in a right, but in a privilege.

Turning some issues into taboo is an achievement, for example those relating to the suppression of rights. It is not bad that before I take a taboo debate to letters to the director, I ask why the Buenist Left is so vigilant in bringing some issues to public debate. Worry not only about your fear, but also about the nightmares you create on the other side.

Locust strike in Zaballa

Music died (*we had) the day

On August 26, I woke up as if it were a normal Monday, I rose from bed and, with my arms overflowing, I woke up. But as soon as I got to the hallway, I knew that that wasn't one of those monotonous, heartless Monday forever. I found my parents in front of the computer reading the... [+]

Russia invaded

Technology
All power

There are several people to study, including Elon Musk. The idea of freedom that they have seems to come from the need to control everything, to have all the power, because being all the power is easier to create business, there is no discussion; the hegemonic models grow with... [+]

Open letter to the Education Counsellor (and II)

Dear Mrs:

How about summer? I hope. On this occasion, I will go to the point, with your permission.

The art of raising your hand

The Assyrian and Babylonian students did not know the art of raising their hand. It took centuries, and maybe a few millennia, for a student at an Egyptian school, who wanted to ask him something, to try to raise his hand: the teacher who gave an explanation, and the student,... [+]


Baserritarras holidays

Are baserritars on vacation? They ask in school. The students have answered no. So, working every day, would you like to be baserritarra in the future? And if nobody wants to be a baserritarra, who is going to make food for us? The question stayed in the air.

For the health and... [+]
