The Importance of Being Earnest 2: Electric Boogaloo

Gentle reminder that Argentina now continues to be decimated by crippling debt and the harshest austerity measures ever applied in any country outside of wartime at any point in modern times, while Spain keeps claiming to be pro-Palestine while maintaining all its ties to the Israeli military intact

Now that Argentina lost can we go back to acknowledging that the Spanish tend to be deeply xenophobic towards immigrants and the main reason they're perceived as pro-Palestine is because Sánchez's government is, whereas most Argentines are pro-Palestine and only Milei and his cronies are Zionists?

When I say that Kissinger was a genocidal war criminal and everything he ever did was part of a depraved tapestry of atrocities, people boo me. But the Pope says it in so many words and he's the next saint. Bah.

Invade. The word they're looking for is invade.

Nothing like waking up to a 14,9% increase in my social security and work billing taxes -the tenth such increase in two years- from a government led by a guy who promised he would chop off his own arm rather than raise a single tax.

My partner and I both needed new rain boots. I was not prepared for the deeply stark contrast in packaging, let alone the design of the actual boots.
Two boxes with two pairs of rain boots. On the left, the box is vermillion and labeled "Lady boots", with the boots being a deeply shiny black. On the right, a regular cardboard box with the boots being very dull black and grey.

I started studying International Relations a decade ago, so I'd say I was exposed to an overall fairly up-to-date curricula, modern scholarship, fresh perspectives, the works. I'm pretty sure all the books and papers I read were rendered obsolete by the last two years and 24 hours. To the last one.

Waking up to the news that the US' dying empire has decided it is not, in fact, dying was a very unhappy experience as an indigenous Latinx.

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

So the IMF just blatantly confirmed what we've always known: that they interfere with the sovereignty and the democracy of indebted countries. Today, Kristalina Giorgieva said the quiet part out loud by calling for Argentines to vote for Milei's party in our legislative elections.

Came across a prompt on the other site asking for the best album artwork of all time. For me it's gotta be Aurora's The Gods We Can Touch.

The average Argentine tends to be convinced that racism isn't a structural issue here, and that it has no bearing on systemic economic and class disparity. I just saw a team of 10 men trimming the trees in my block. 9 were brown and only 1 was white. A literal 1/10 ratio. But sure, it's not an issue

Faced with strikes by the transportation unions, Milei has decided to go full on 1984. This was displayed and broadcast through train stations' loudspeakers: "ATTACK ON THE REPUBLIC: The union caste attacks millions who want to work. If they're extorting or forcing you to strike call this number"

More than valid for every Argentinian opposition party, all of which seem intent on failing to stop Milei from selling the country for parts and destroying our rights.

Also, hi. I've been busy planning a trip back to my hometown with my girlfriend, so she can meet my parents. My sister had a few somewhat connected thoughts on the matter:

Last night I went to a trans/enby poetry slam. Three times some neighbor called the cops on us for "annoying noises", and three times the cops came, even though there was nothing they could do. They just stood there, while the poetry of my brave cousins echoed on in downtown Buenos Aires.

Last night, president Milei gave his first interview after the crypto fraud scandal he's implicated in. Among other dumb stuff, he said that it wasn't 44k people that got scammed, "at most it was 5000". As if that makes it any better. Guess which numbers I focused on with my A1 ESL students today.

Chanea's message is powerful, and it resonates with me. Recognizing the struggles of our fellow teachers must be a transnational effort. Especially for those of us who are minoritized and living under oppressive governments that not only hate us for our identities, but also for our role as educators

Listen, folxs, you know I'm not one to brag. But I simply must brag about the delightful drawing of us my girlfriend surprised me with last night. Our hair and clothes even make up the non-binary and pansexual flags. I died.

Millions of us marched today in the first ever Argentine Anti-fascist & Anti-racist Pride Parade, in 130 cities in Argentina and 15 cities abroad, to protest against the hateful rhetoric of Milei and fascists like him who would force us all back in the closet. Never again.

The Argentine ambassador to Israel, an Orthodox rabbi, says that Musk's nazi salute was "a clear gesture of love and emotion due to the triumph of freedom in the world" and that "he is an incredible person who defends liberty and human rights". I'm laughing to avoid crying.

My hot take as a historian who happens to be an anti-Zionist Jew and whose work interjects heavily with national identity, symbolism and politics is that I still can't understand how anyone over the age of 14 can be a fan of Musk.

Next time someone talks to you about 'protecting children', tell them Milei's government censored the Argentine Sex Ed curricula and enabled minors over 13 to open bank accounts and conduct financial transactions, without their parents consent, in the midst of a gambling epidemic. In the same week.

See, when I said "possible" I meant exactly this. I had no proof but very few doubts that Netanyahu would come up with some kind of excuse to not stop the genocide.

In light of the possible ceasefire agreement, I will add one more name to the long list of those who supported Israel's genocide in Gaza: Regina Spektor. One of my favorite artists during my formative years, she didn't waste a moment before turning into a mouthpiece for Netanyahu's rhetoric in 2023.
