A lot of us have gotten more radicalized with this, but it's honestly terrifying how this tragedy has made so many people turn to the far-right.
Yesterday I had a huge argument with a good friend of mine because of this He's always been a leftist, but he shared a screenshot of a far-right protest and, when I told him it was organized by the far-right, he told me he would support whoever was helping Valencia and that right now it was the right and not the left. Which, alright, fair, they all suck right now, but my brother in Christ let's not forget it was the right that cut funds directed towards first responders, firefighters and EMTs to put them towards killing bulls in the name of tradition. Let's not forget it was the right that tried to shut down the AEMET because it was "useless". It was the right that wouldn't allow help from outside, too scared of having to face the consequences and the thousands - sorry, """hundreds""" of people they've killed with their incompetence and greed. It's the far right that ignored nine, NINE warnings from the AEMET, because they didn't want to lose money, but sent their own workers home early so they could evacuate.
It's the far-right that is refusing help and resources to POC and immigrants, and it's the far right that is spinning the narrative so people shout "Sánchez dimisión" instead of "Mazón asesino".
It's terrifying to see how the far-right benefits from the desperation and pain they caused directly.
THERE WOULDN'T BE MORE THAN 2 THOUSAND DEATHS IF THE FAR RIGHT REGIONAL GOVERNMENT HAD DONE ITS JOB. THERE WOULDN'T BE THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MISSING PEOPLE IF THE FAR RIGHT GOVERNMENT HAD ACCEPTED THE OUTSIDE HELP AND ASKED FOR IT.
The ""leftist"" central government can't do anything if the Generalitat doesn't ask for help, because the far right made sure that the leftist central government couldn't do it during the last national crisis - the pandemic.
"Don't make this about politics" but it was a far right politic who cut funds from public services that would've saved lives. "Don't make this about politics" but it was a far right politic who tried to shut down the AEMET. "Don't make this about politics" but it's a far right government that is refusing help, arresting people who are shoplifting basic necessities, and telling volunteers to leave because the fucking King wants to take a stroll through the disaster zones.
"Don't make this about politics" but the far right kills. The far right is the direct responsible of thousands of deaths.
Yes it is, I´m not going to wake up at 4:30 a.m to be at work at 5:45 am(my house and my work are quite far away) be there like ten/twelve hours, have to be there so early because I need to discharge trucks full of gasoline and clean the gasoline tanks, clean public bathrooms, the staff bathroom, do the money counting, attend clients, and not have anybreaks because i´m the only one at the gas station, for 400 hundred euros a month, like I work only twelve hours a week, but it´s a lot of responsability going from being a butcher, well not specifically, it was the charcutery section, but only doing half of that for six hours a day, and divided in sunday, saturday and when it was a week day with festivities i would work but if i did more hours i would either get the extra hours paid or in vacation days. Like no thanks.
Okay, so I just finished my studies, like today was the last assignment we had to give to the teacher, and I'm both, horribly anxious( I don't really know if I'll have to go to June or not) and so relaxed that is weird af, but I'm just going to enjoy the summer vacation, work a lot and travel across my country with my friends.
I'll leave some of the drawings I did for today's assignment.
I know that Harley is super horrible, but se is my favourite antihero mixed with my least favourite technique to use, the pastel.
So I'm probably not going to be able to post that much, since I'm a volunteer for organizing the donations from Madrid to Valencia, and I'm in a group of young restaurateurs that are working on helping people restore personal items (photos, documents...) when the most important part of the cleaning is done. This is so people will stop throwing away their personal belongings that we can try to save, not everything will be saved but maybe it will help with the grief the Dana has caused.
So if anyone reading this is from Valencia please don't throw away your photos, put them on a bag with holes and hold onto them till we can go. We know this isn't a priority, but it is also important to let people know they have this option. For more information go to the Instagram page of the UPV. If anyone is interested in contacting this group this is the email: restauracionyrecuperaciondana@gmail.com

23.04.2024 // some affect theory and writing on a fairly warm day. i'm taking it slow this week, mostly because i feel lazy and kind of...blah.
affect always escapes any attempt to explain or understand it because it lies outside of language or cognition. perhaps that explains why affect seems so vague and abstract. im trying to figure out if affect theory will be useful for my research but I won't pursue it if it continues to be beyond my grasp.
I like how the one dude had to sit down twice he was so overwhelmed
This reminds me that last year I did a essay about the story of fanfiction but I connected it with the esthetic view. It was super philosophy but I had to give objective points of view, also I relationed various works of Shakespeare, Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, and the picture of Dorian gray. Very funny and got a 9 out of 10. And this year I had various works about genshin impact and DC comics.
Whoever tells you that college is not about being a nerd is lying to you.
Grad school is lying to you. You can indulge fixations on obscure topics on your own time. You can sit in a library color-coding notes on articles printed from JSTOR for free. You can argue with dead philosophers in essay format whenever you like. Academia is a state of mind.

So I need to do a final assignment in any topic I want for my art history class, I decided to do it about the military propaganda in movies (needs to be related to art) like top gun and others, (disclaimer, I haven't watched any one of this films, yet, 'cause I don't enjoy cine about war but military propaganda is super funny, end of disclaimer), and holy shit, this is super wild, like the Americans have a lot of propaganda films? My country, Spain, comes from a military dictatorship but we couldn't talk about the hardships of war and things like that, it was a very taboo topic, now a day's not so much, except with elderly people, but like I had to go to films from Franco's time to find a film that didn't mock them, this doesn't mean we don't have, lately we've been having more, but I don't know, I just find it interesting.
Proof of my work, is in Spanish and not the final title.
