Emotional shelter
2w ago00:06:33Tap to summarizeBig companies, and individuals alike use colonialist manipulation techniques on a daily basis. Let's see 2 of them:GaslightingWhile the term originated from a 1938 play about an abusive husband, the concept of cultural or structural gaslighting is highly relevant in colonial and historical contexts. Systemic Denial: Colonizers used denial, historical revisionism, and the active destruction of Indigenous cultures to make marginalized groups question their own lived experiences, knowledge, and memories. Power Dynamics: Just as in a personal relationship, structural gaslighting is used to maintain power and force the victim to rely on the perpetrator's version of reality.GhostingOriginating in the 2000s within digital dating, ghosting is defined as suddenly cutting off communication to avoid emotional discomfort.Lack of Accountability: Sociologically, ghosting reflects an individual's inability or unwillingness to take responsibility for another person's feelings. While not a deliberate "colonial" tool, it is a modern symptom of emotional detachment and avoidance. In the case of companies recruiting, ghosting after interviewing is a totally non-inclusive approach, and I urge the #workersrights delegates at the international level to solve the issue, as it affects entire groups of populations. A ghosting reaction usually hides racism, ageism, ableism.Who gets detached and avoids? Not archaic community logic that's for sure.Are you or your company using colonialist manipulation techniques? If yes, please note that such techniques are against human rights, and an affront to the Strategy for Inclusion.
Transcribe →La ceinture noire
2w ago00:03:52Tap to summarizeUne amie, ceinture noire de karaté, a déclaré après une agression : « Il voulait me violer, et je suis heureuse de ne pas l’avoir laissé là sans bouger."Il vaut mieux ne pas essayer d'agresser, car on ne sait jamais qui est une maître en arts martiaux. » Elle semblait une proie facile, mais c’était une ceinture noire préparée pour le combat.
Transcribe →Hot Wave Emergency
2w ago00:01:48Tap to summarizeLast year, in winter, it was an emergency situation, the cold wave, people died, and many others were evacuated in the cold.This year, right now there is another emergency situation: a heatwave, even more deaths, and people evacuated in full street display.In winter, I have asked for help from many institutions in different cities. From the last emergency situation to today, in the next emergency, those in charge were more into unsatisfactory choreography and closing communication than into solving problems.Conclusion: The Strategy Planning is shallowly made. Who made it that badly is corrupt or just not knowing how to plan? Let's change it, and give people a chance to live at least for the next season.There are some people left in oblivion for years, and they are in danger… Incredibly, they are alive, but still…A society deals with emergency situations with class, strategy, and anticipation, except if it's so corrupt that it has no clue of what it's supposed to do.
Transcribe →Ola de calor, y los árboles gritan
2w ago00:00:28Tap to summarizeTrees cannot scream, yet they wither before our eyes. Each extreme summer takes a toll on the following season, and the casualty count rises. An affected tree means an entire ecosystem in distress, and right now, forests are burning.
Transcribe →Refugee Portrait
Jun 2100:01:50Tap to summarizeImagine fleeing for your life, enduring traumatic experiences, and ultimately being co-opted by a racist bureaucracy that dehumanizes and expels you, forcing you to become a victim of human trafficking. War makes no sense, but since it's a reality, the host countries are obliged to provide support and make sure that the refugees are safe, yet that means consistent planning with the basic rights at the center of each step and respect for life.We can observe many parallels based on immigrant work exploitation. This child's home was bombed. To feel safe the proximity, the host country must feel safe via an inclusive human approach and individual planning.According to international laws, the rights to asylum do not imply being extra intelligent, super good looking, having new shoes, or knowing the local dialects...The fact that such selections are influencing the support system in the decision of sustaining or not indicates chain corruption and general stupidity. When money is more important than a human life, that's a mental setting problem, and implicit cruelty.
Transcribe →Closed Mentality can be Urban or Rural
Jun 1500:01:14Tap to summarizeDestigmatizing the Rural, Essay fragment for Human Rights We often use terminology that is inconvenient. Being born in a small town or village, or coming from an archaic region, is not a developmental disadvantage; on the contrary, it can define one's personality in a unique way.I'm starting a discussion about outdated terminology: "insular thinking," "rural thinking," and "countryside thinking" are stigmatizing terms.In urban areas, even in the largest cities, people can develop the same kind of mindset—a closed-minded one, and as we can observe and measure, the colonialist mindset is a big issue.
Transcribe →Boobbs around the corner
Jun 1500:01:32Tap to summarizeBoobbs sculpture intervention in the center of the city, where prostitution is at every corner, implying the presence of human trafficking. There was also a phallus next to the boobbs, but it dissapeared fast.The sex workers are in Barcelona since forever, and their basic rights are still not recognized.On the international stage, some well-known cities offer these kinds of "services." Barcelona is one of these international "pleasure centers."We buy, we pay, we dehumanize—no problem here —but access to medical care and necessary social support are not provided, since this work is unregistered.So we like to have sex tourism, but we don't make sure the workers are healthy. It's strange.The same goes for refugees and immigrants abandoned on the streets to satisfy las fiestas de solteras…
Transcribe →Graffiti-Art and Monster Movies
Jun 500:02:24Tap to summarizeMovies are based on comics or short stories, even dreams, as in the case of Frankenstein. A film implies having a plot, and the villains' plot is an evolving narrative that usually includes a moral. Some creators approach the monster with empathy, intensifying the tragedy by showing the danger from the victim's perspective.Villainous characters are important to us in childhood, and we can observe that they continue to be so in adulthood.What we imagine in the early stages of our existence and the fantastic stories that moved us remain easy to recreate and provide comfort in later stages of life.In the case of traumatic experiences and when society treats us as an alien, these stories remain important for our identity.Since I've been watching many movies and concerts on my phone over the past few months, helping struggling immigrants reduce trauma, I can't pass up the opportunity to talk about how essential open access to culture is.Why aren't there open-air cinemas in areas with a high concentration of immigrants and refugees? We have parking lots in cities, which only a few need, but a basic social strategy is lacking.Why aren't creative methods facilitated for those who have stories to tell? When society marginalizes someone, a comic, a song, or a film can emerge as a natural creative reaction; it would be good to maintain their creative presence and publish it, presenting it alongside the author, the one who was once seen as a villain.
Transcribe →Lotus flower in the middle of a war
May 2900:01:32Tap to summarizeStopped development, experiments, psychological trauma, chain horrors, contemporary politics, human rights?A conflict is a chain reaction of problems that propagates like a plague. A long term conflict, an organized experiment of mediatic genocide is something unimaginable. We use technology for nonsense weapon industry, and to destroy our roots, for some commercial reasons.Human condition is depending on development and a sense of equity. Human cultures specialized in communication, and #conflictmanagement We signed agreements, to maintain peace. Why do we still experience the horrors of wars? What kind of plan for future is this? How many generations we plan to kill, or watch passively others do it?A long term conflict implicitly means human trafficking and child flagellation. Generations trapped into war. Make a calculus, a map of social psychological damage, as it already touched us all.
Transcribe →Comfort to Develop
May 2900:07:28Tap to summarizeOpen access to culture and inclusion are essential for everyone, and for neurodivergent women, they can be a way out. Society has incredibly intolerant behaviour, unsupportive, and even rude to pregnant immigrant women.I'm posting this to point out that the inclusive planning isn't working because it's poorly implemented. Entire generations are at risk. Expectant mothers need a protective environment, or the social factor is so perverse and corrupt that, even after decades of tireless work, housing remains inaccessible and xenophobic attacks are commonplace. The most serious problem is that women attack other women…territorial behaviour, instead of supportive bias, in other words, lack of education. I love women in general; my intent is not to offend, but with these kinds of manifestations, let's face it, there is a problem. How can we solve it?Regardless of our cultural background, the fundamental principle is the same: protect life and make room for development.While a sense of spiritual belonging is a personal choice, being kind to others, especially pregnant women, is imperative, not at all optional. Therefore, I urge host countries to change the narrative.A conflict-ridden environment has serious negative consequences for development. The social factor is important even at the fetal stage.
