Iberian hermit, keeper of the dead, remembrancer, narration devourer. Sworn to the black and red. I teach Anthropology at the University of Valladolid and, sometimes, I even write about games and myths.

To provide credit and visibility: Achille Mbembe employs the term "necropolitics" to encapsulate what the US is dealing with it's healthcare issues.

@victoriasapphire.bsky.social I thought of you today with a classic proverb: "those not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”

Enjoyment of games of all kind has a terrible age bias. Are you 80 and you wanna rock some boardgames? By all means, my dude! Have some fun! Are you a single parent of 40 and you wanna pop some demon heads in Doom? Do not second Guess your right to get some joy!

"Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony." (Heraclitus). It is crucial to socialize playing no Matter the kind. Enjoyment comes from the commonality of joy, not from the privatization of It.

Some months ago in a conference, I called the Stalker series "an exercise in mythological identity and nation building". Playing Heart of Chernobyl, I stand by my words from October.

When working on specialized and niche topics (gaming studies), never loose sight of the general perspective. Keep your big names, your Marx, your Aristotle, your Bordieu, close at hand.

While in class today, the words of Lev Vygotsky sound more relevant than ever: we learn in community, not by ourselves.

I just finished a report from the Cervantes Institute running the numbers of Spanish speakers: we are around 600 million. There is, however, a decline in the US due to the association of speaking Spanish and low class. Speaking any language does not lower you, perceiving someone as less, does.

I have been playing RPG's since I was a kid. My 12 years old self feels quite happy I was able to nerd out in public while quoting smart people. Thanks to @plumasdesimurgh.bsky.social and @tomgaar.bsky.social for making it possible.

I have been asked why I joined a completely independent, both politically and economically union. My grandmother said that whomever has their ass rented, cannot shit when they want. For more than half of my life I have been unionized in the CNT and for a time, in the US branch of the IWW.

What is the best intellectual joy? To be bound for a congress surrounded by some of the sharpest literary analysts of your country. What is the best intellectual honor? To be the closing presentation discussing theory of mythological analysis. Thank you for honoring me in such a way.

After a week of nationalist overdose, from the Mediterranean coast in Barcelona to the cradle of the empire in Castile; I will just keep the language and the wonderful people I have met in the American continent. Flags get tiresome.

Some finishing touches for an article on semiotics of Baroque in Blasphemous (a great Spanish videogame). Beauty in complexity, logos in darkeness. If you like oldschool videogames, give it a run.

Next week I´ll have a great conversation about mythology. What do we mean with the universality of myth? Do we still weave them at the present day an age? Do they permeate to our popular culture? Some of the best mythological studies minds will be around, I hope I will not dissapoint them.

On an, I´d say, molecular level, we all know what art is. Yet we all struggle to put it words that do not need a long conversation (that you should still have!) to contextualize. Before the end of the year, a good intelectual companion and me will publish something to forward the conversation.

Hello Bluesky! I´m Pablo, I enjoy comunicating with wiser people than me and collect knowledge to further spread it. I´d like to take a minute to thank my beloved friend Victoria for the invite.
