Just over five years ago, I received the proposal to collaborate in ARGIA. I remember, it was still mine at my parents' home when I read the e-mail. I got nervous. It took me half a second to think about the answer, but I took time to write the message back error free. I went over and over again before I sent it, and I doubted whether I would have a level to post in ARGIA. It took me responsibility. I wanted to do things in order.
Since then I have been comfortable writing every three or four months. I have tried to work calmly and gently. I have moved my fingers freely through the keyboard, “including spaces of 3,400 characters,” the only limitation I have had. Infertility, pregnancy, childbirth, perinatal mourning, puerperium, lactation, menstruation, sexuality… The truth is that I am proud to have given a place to these kinds of issues. But, as the song says, nothing is forever. And I've come here. I've had a hard time making the decision: these are the last letters I'm going to write in ARGIA.
The year 2023 I have fulfilled many intentions. I have opened large windows from the front and I fear that the groove of the current will be excessive. That is why I decided that the time has come to close some open windows earlier. Rather than being in the hands of the wind wave, because I prefer to choose myself. I want to do it slowly before I break anything.
Well, I've already started to repent half, and rather than moving around, I'd better get to the point. I have the greetings. Little literature, this time. Straight and simple. I would like to fill these lines of thanks. Nothing else.
Infertility, pregnancy, childbirth, perinatal grief, puerperium, lactation, menstruation, sexuality -- I'm proud to have given a place to these kinds of issues.
Thank you ARGIA for betting on me. Thank you very much for hosting them in your house. It was great to have to spend time writing from time to time. I recognise that it is sad, but the obligation has given me the opportunity. A delivery date, therefore there is no excuse. There has been some care of the car. The paradox of having to find a place on the agenda for what is done gladly.
Thanks to everyone who has taken time to read some of my articles, I still find it very strange to think that there are readers that I do not know. And of course, heartfelt thanks to all the friends, family and colleagues you have never missed. You are luxury fans. I love you so much.
Thank you very much, uniform, to the women and families you met with. They make sense of my trade, and that's what I've written in most cases. I have departed from you in almost every letter. You have ignited the occurrences. I owe you the thoughts.
The last ski is the most special. And it goes to you, Aitor, because everything I have written has had almost as much of you as of me. You have carefully read all the articles. He made me a brutal criticism. You helped me with rigor and affection. Thank you for being next door. My muse. It was nice to create by your side. Think even more that I now have inside the abdomen what we just created together. With the advent of what is coming, we are going to devote as much time as possible from now on to calm and pampering.
I am sure I will have a letter from now on. And I'll keep writing. Because that's the way I've found to keep what I don't want to forget forever. I write how others take pictures. There will therefore be one next. Because, I've closed the window, but I've kept the key well, just in case. Date and place. Until the next one.

The Spanish state would become the dystopian stage of Tejerazo, in 1981. There, the political leaders confined to Congress were "invited" to approve a tacit agreement in which the status quo linked to the monarchic system, the bipartisan political system (establishment of closed... [+]
The new government formation has left many unanswered questions, but it is clear that once again we will have to be firm in betting on the Basque Public School. We were told that, although the same party will govern, we would have new faces, but that has not been entirely true... [+]
We are parents of Euskal Herria, daughters and sons; they are called Maddi, Izei, Dani, Alaitz, Aida or BEÑAT, but they may be Hatem Salem, Awad Muhammad 14 years old, Zakaria Magdy 6 years old or Nour Ahmed 7 years old. They were all killed by Israel in Gaza.
We can't imagine... [+]
After the post-election negotiation phase, PNV and PSE-EE have laid the groundwork for a government agreement between the two to “advance welfare, progress, self-government and transformation of the global Euskadi”. An 11-page document details the commitments and activities... [+]
When we talk publicly about torture, we realize how much society embraces the opinion that the “system” itself puts into effect on this issue. It uses a wide range of ministers and advisers, judges and experts, all with the help of the organic media, of course. And it has to... [+]
If Valeria Vitella, who 2000 years ago offered an altar stone to the Basque goddess Larrahe, raised his head and found himself face to face with Alberto Santana, what would he say? Surely something like this: "What are you talking about?"
First of all, let us look at it. As a... [+]
In recent times we have had in the media Aitor Uriarte, representative of the renewable energy company Solaria, to pay tribute to the benefits of the macro-projects they want to carry out. In the case of the appearance of Radio Euskadi on May 28, I felt a deep shame of the... [+]
The new word that we have heard in recent years: delay. I suspect that there will be changes in place. I only know that of Bilbao, and it seems very simple: those of us who are of an age, we have named ourselves the name of what we did the first night, that is, and, in short, do... [+]
In prisons dependent on the Basque Government, Basque political prisoners have lost a great deal in terms of communication with our family and friends. The number of monthly prefixes is lower and their duration is shorter. So, even if we get closer, we devote less time to the... [+]
An image is worth a thousand words. I read the journalist and writer Pascual Serrano that there is no more lie than that. He wrote it ten years ago, when we started to see that the image was going to eat the whole word. Finally, the proverbs can be refuted.
Another: nothing... [+]
On the occasion of the International Day of Sex Workers, a sex worker offered a workshop on 2 June to break the stigma. The colleague addressed a fundamental issue that may not be so present: that one thing is that you do something without permission and something else that is... [+]
The most promising futures are more concerned about the future than the long-term ones. It's the CCCLXIX law of life. It seems like a mouthpiece, but the laws of life I don't write them, but life itself.
That law, like all authentic laws, has exceptions, but what exceptions are,... [+]
The other day I wrote a message to META. Say, I thought and I started to do it. Mark Zuckerberg hasn't slept since then, because it wasn't just any message, I wrote it rather dry. Edge, almost. Through an Instagram video I learned that META will use the information its users share... [+]
