Real men don’t talk about their sexual conquests or call a woman out of her name. My father once told me “No matter if a woman is sinner or a saint when you lay with her you become her equal. So no matter what you feel about them, it’s also a reflection of yourself.
mhmmmm

Haiku day 77:
Don’t apologize
Because you take up more space.
Walk like you’re the Sun.

We’re going to be cool, calm, collected and we’re going to CALL people out on their bullshit
Thank youu
This was just fantastic, so relevant. We forget that most science fiction films that we see are usually set in L.A., New York, and Europe but we hardly see science fiction films from other places around the world where a great amount of humanity exists. There are several other films that carry Zapatista ideals, like Alex Rivera’s film Sleep Dealer which tackles the questions that are raised regarding globalization and the virtual spaces that are taking over the natural landscapes. The film goes as far as to take the viewer to a future that deals with the concept of virtual labor, placing the workers in a factory where they can connect their bodies to a machine that allows them to work without actually being at that location. It raises the issue of migration and immigration, and in this case it shows the border that separates the United States and Mexico. He picks it up from the “First World” viewpoint where they “have the work done without the workers” according to one of the men in the factory. The filmmaker explains that “in this scenario, the physical body of the worker remains in the third world where they connect their nervous systems to a net where they control drones in the developed world”. It should be seen by more folks.

“Somos un pueblo trágico; siempre hemos vivido bajo presiones y, cuando se vive así, no hay por qué estar alegres.”
”We are tragic people; we have always lived under pressure, and when you live like that, there is no reason to be happy.”
