Dear Americans and people outside Mexico: Please stop.

I have seen many posts of people outside Mexico saying: Congrats, Mexico! Claudia, a leftist feminist ambientalist jewish woman, is president! Take notes US!

Meanwhile, you go out in the streets in Mexico today and no one is celebrating. No one. The streets are empty, everything feels sad and hopeless.

A lot of people didn't want her. Because we know what is going to happen.

Morena (her political group) is literally in every position of power. From senators, to city governors. They have EVERY SINGLE thing in the goverment.

You know how bad things are gonna get for us here? Do you know what she has allowed? What THEY have done to our country? All the shit we have been through because of them?

No, because you don't care. You haven't cared enough to research who this woman is really and just praise her without knowing a shit.

Because you have to make everything about you, don't you?.

"I can't believe Mexico has a woman president before US!"

"OMG, US take notes!"

"The US-"

Can you stop for a second and think outside of your bubble? Do you truly know who this woman is and what she has done to Mexico? Or you are just using this to talk about you and your own country and problems?

Please. Please do your research.

She is not your precious feminist ally.

She has denied multiple times the ongoing wave of violence against women in Mexico (11 women go missing A DAY). She has sent riot police to gas feminist protests.

Did you hear what I said?

11 WOMEN GO MISSING A DAY.

EVERY DAY 11 WOMEN NEVER COME BACK, ARE KILLED, ARE RAPED, ARE TORTURED, ARE GETTING FORGOTTEN WITHOUT LEAVING A TRACE. EVERYDAY.

And she denies this. She has denied MULTIPLE TIMES that the violence against women is at an all time high.

A feminist would denied that 11 mothers/sisters/daughters/aunts/girls/women/people are going missing PER DAY?

No. Because she doesn't fucking care.

She is no ambientalist.

She was more than happy to support the Tren Maya, a project AMLO, the former president, was hooked on making since the begining.

The issue?

DEFORESTATION. MASSIVE DEFORESTATION.

10 MILLION TREES HAVE BEEN CUT DOWN.

Entire natural spaces gone for a train that isn't even working and already is having problems.

Also, how can I forget this?

27 people died, 80 injured.

The line 12 (Linea 12) of the CDMX Metro collapsed. The structure and the entire transport had (and still are) been neglected by the city administration.

Guess who was in charge of CDMX at the time of the tragedy?

Exactly, Claudia Sheinbaum. What was she doing instead of sending resources and money to fix and mantain the Metro?

But political propaganda for herself, of course!

And even after that tragedy, there have been multiple issues and accidents in the metro. A fucking coworker of a family member was trapped in a wagon alongside multiple people for HOURS due to a malfuction of the metro. They weren't allowed to get out even if they were cooking alive due to the heat of being inside a closed wagon and police ordered them TO NOT FILM what was happening to them.

She is not a saint. She is not an icon. She is not someone you should praise.

FUCKING INFORM YOURSELF BEFORE TALKING.

Mexico is not USA. Get it? We don't have the same politics and issues you have, get that?

The entire world doesn't revolve around you. We aren't your argument to use, we aren't your little meme to fuck around with.

We are people that are tired. People that didn't want this. People that are upset, dissapointed, mad, hopeless.

My blog isn't a political place, so as a final note, I want to say this:

I want to be wrong. I really, really want to be fucking wrong.

I want my country, Mexico, to be ok. To be a better place to live.

I HOPE to be wrong and that things get better. For me, for my family, for my friends, for the millions of people that stay, study, work, breathe, live and love this country.

Claudia Sheinbaum, I really want to be wrong about you. Not because I love you, but because I love Mexico.

I don't have high hopes for the future, but I really, REALLY, want things to be better.

That's all I have to say for now.

The Evolution of a Great Story, Renault racconta ambiente e gender gap in meno di un minuto

Con The Evolution of a Great Story, Renault mostra il suo impegno per l’ambiente e per la gender equality attraverso gli occhi di un rapporto madre-figlio che in quarantacinque secondi srotola almeno tre layers di significato.

Il primo è la superficie dello spot, che rappresenta passaggi di vita decisivi legati a doppio filo al mondo dell’auto: la volta in cui sei abbastanza grande per mettere benzina in autonomia, il momento in cui stai per prendere la patente e non riesci ancora a mettere in moto, il passaggio in cui diventi padre e l’evoluzione è completata, la guida è più sciolta.  Il secondo cancella il cliché che vede il padre come figura educativa in tema automobilistico: è la madre che prima si mostra come riferimento, e poi con un semplice gioco di sguardi che la rimanda a tanti anni prima - vedendo la nipote dormire - cede il testimone al figlio come futuro insegnante. Una piccola grande escalation che di pari passo ci porta a un terzo punto che riguarda anche (e soprattutto!) il brand: è un’evoluzione che passa nel sottotesto, non viene mai dichiarata in modo autoincensante ma solo descritta da una piccola storia di crescita familiare e abbinata alla presenza di segnali nelle immagini che ci indicano la nuova formula ibrida e i bassi consumi della vettura. In tal senso è fortemente simbolica anche la scelta di inquadrare le prove di guida: il momento in cui l’inesperienza porta a consumare e inquinare più del dovuto che Renault trasmette come momento sostenibile in cui poter permettersi di sbagliare senza che questo abbia delle ripercussioni ambientali.

Mira Sumercé en - Mowies

Sumercé de Victoria Solano. Sumercé sigue al veterano activista Don Eduardo, al líder agrario César Pachón y a la líder campesina Rosita en su lucha contra la decisión del gobierno de permitir que compañías mineras exploten las zonas donde nace el agua dulce de Colombia: Los Páramos.

Hey guys I just saw this movie and discovered this website, it’s really cool, if you are learning Spanish or speak Spanish, I totally recommend, they are specialized in non-commercial films from around the world, but especially from South America, and they give you credits to rent films if you recommend and someone sees the movie. Soooo yeah that's what I am doing. 

I discovered this thanks to a Colombian politic comedian and one of my personal heroes who recommended the movie in one of his videos, and it was great. It is a documentary about three social leaders fighting against mining on the mountains and for the rights of the farmers. 

This movie has a special meaning for me because my family is from this region, I even use the term "sumercé" (like the title of the film) in my daily vocabulary, even if it is not a real word, because my grandparents used it all the time. But it also reminds me of what it is important, normally, I see about social causes here in Tumblr or Youtube, and I am like: " wow, it would be good to live in a place where the people has so little problems that this incredibly irrelevant issue is actually a thing"  (this is not about BLM, this is one of the few things I actually think it's very, very important).  

Anyway, I am recommending this in every social media, even here where no one knows me. If you are curious it is really good.
