Books

Por culpa de una flor, un cómic sobre una mujer en una aldea deshabitada. Es justo lo que uno imaginaría que pasa si se mezcla cómic, poesía, sueño y flamenco. Intentar describirlo es un poco absurdo. Hay que leerlo, yo creo que merece la pena.

TV shows

Still watching New girl, which is perfect for not thinking at all.

Videos

Monólogo de Yunez Chaib.
A practical guide to leftist Youtube, a neat collection of Youtubers to follow.
The great Julia Evans' talk Making hard things easy at StrangeLoop 2023. She's amazing.
Beautiy standards are bullshit.
The first episode of Why are you so angry?, a series of videos on Anita Sarkeesian. I need to watch the rest.
Electromechanical refreshable braille module, a neat little thing.
The geometry of SET. Of course that thinking about lines in Z/3Z x Z/3Z is the best strategy to win this game.
I defended Palestinian kids and got shut down, a short video on Owen Jones' adventures on TV.
Blip - 1977 mechanical pong. This is so cool, I want one now.
Catalina Ferro performs "Manifesto", some poetry slam because why not.
Again StrangeLoop 2023, now featuring Devine Lu Linvega talking about An approach to computing and sustainability inspired from permaculture. Really neat, as always.
Programming should eat itself, yet another StrangeLoop talk, this one from 2014 by Nada Amin. Really esoteric, didn't understand much, really liked it.
Rewrite the docs!, a very interesting talk about tech support in activist groups, by Camille Acey.

Music

ATARASHII GAKKO! - Tokyo Calling. This is so cooooool.

Podcasts

Deforme semanal ideal total, Confinadas.
Deforme semanal ideal total, Aburrimiento.

Articles

I read 281 articles this month. Most of them are related to the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and are grouped under its own category at the end.

Politics

Nagorno Karabaj, que se ha quedado en el olvido después de Palestina, sanidad andaluza, trabajo, Opus Dei, EEUU, policía, jornada laboral, toros... Muchísimas cosas.

Feminismos

Feminismos, trastornos alimenticios, belleza, acoso. Todo esto podría estar en política igualmente.

Tech

Twitter, when the data breached is your own genome, the most Spanish rockets, DBs, Go, Mastodon and even some rants.

Culture

Pintura, curiosidades científicas, cine, traducción y el nuevo disco de María José Llergo <3

Sucesos

Cosas feas en general :(

Otros

De todo un poco.

Palestine genocide

This month has been terrible, and the worst part is that it is probably only the beginning. After Hamas killed more than 1400 civilians in Israel in a single day, Netanyahu and his army have killed more than 8000 civilians in Palestine (and counting), displaced hundreds of thousands of people out of their homes and destroyed much of the country's residential areas. This is a genocide that's happening before our eyes, and absolutely no one is doing anything. It's heart-breaking and I don't know what to do, so I read.
