Pensiones de jubilación

¿Por qué debemos pagar pensiones superiores a la remuneración media a personas que han ganado su dinero contaminando sin solidaridad alguna con el resto de la población ni con las generaciones futuras (industrias petroleras, nucleares, farmacéuticas, bancos, etc.)?

Si ganaban más que el salario medio cuando trabajaban, podían invertir su dinero y beneficiarse de él cuando se jubilan.

¿Por qué no optar por una renta básica incondicional / universal con un excelente seguro médico que reciban todos los ciudadanos, sea cual sea su edad? Así cada uno tendría su propia estrategia para aumentar sus ingresos. En un país rico, no hay razón para que la gente no pueda alimentarse, curarse y comer con dignidad (permacultura ecológica). La mayoría de las personas más pobres tienen menos de 30 años. En cambio, los que viven en la extrema pobreza son mayores de 60 .

¿Por qué los jubilados han de ser más merecedores que las personas que se dedican a sus seres más queridos, a las artes, a los vínculos sociales, o los parados que se niegan a realizar trabajos indignos? ¿Qué pasa con los mayores de 55 años con que nadie quiere trabajar y que aún no tienen edad para jubilarse? El 73% de las personas que perciben la pensión mínima de vejez son mujeres. Los precios se duplican cada diez años, por lo que los pensionistas ya no tienen suficiente para vivir. A medida que las mujeres viven más, se encuentran en la pobreza. Hay que suprimir las pensiones, los subsidios familiares, la renta asistencial, el desempleo, las ayudas a los estudiantes y todos los funcionarios que los gestionan y que cuestan mucho a la sociedad, e implantar una renta básica universal e incondicional.

El 5% más rico gana más que el otro 50%. Ellos son los que deberían pagar, ellos son los que no tributan.

Tenemos que dejar de cobrar impuestos siempre a los mismos, es decir, a los trabajadores y a las empresas. Hay que cobrar impuestos a los que poseen y heredan la riqueza del país.

Un estudio publicado en Nature da a conocer las proyecciones sobre las posibles consecuencias de unas emisiones de carbono descontroladas y sugieren que éstas no se dejarán sentir por igual en todo el mundo. En el caso de España, por ejemplo, la reducción de renta media de ingresos será del 18 %. Cambios previstos de la renta en 2049 en comparación con una economía sin cambio climático. / Maximilian Kotz Las proyecciones de los daños económicos del cambio climático son cruciales para los procedimientos de adaptación y planificación de las entidades públicas y privadas. Sin embargo, los modelos suelen verse limitados por la naturaleza variable de los resultados climáticos a largo plazo. Un equipo de investigadores, liderado por Leonie Wenz del Instituto de Potsdam para la Investigación del Impacto Climático (PIK, por sus siglas en inglés) en Alemania, han modelizado los efectos potenciales de los escenarios climáticos sobre la productividad económica utilizando datos locales de temperatura y precipitaciones de más de 1.600 regiones de todo el mundo, incluida España. Los han combinado además con datos climáticos y de ingresos de los 40 años previos y las proyecciones climáticas. Sus resultados indican que, debido a las emisiones ya existentes, la economía mundial experimentará una reducción de ingresos del 19 % en 2049 en comparación con una situación de referencia sin efectos del cambio climático. Estos daños estimados ya multiplicarían por seis los costes asociados a la limitación del calentamiento de conformidad con el Acuerdo de París sobre el Clima, lo que pone de relieve los beneficios monetarios de la mitigación en la segunda mitad del siglo. Estos daños se atribuyen principalmente a la variación de la temperatura; sin embargo, los autores plantean que la consideración de variables climáticas adicionales eleva las estimaciones en un 50 % adicional. Diferencias según regiones Se prevé que los países con menores ingresos y menores emisiones históricas sufrirán una pérdida de ingresos un 61 % mayor que los países con mayores ingresos y un 40 % por encima que los países con mayores emisiones, lo que sugiere que un mayor calentamiento exacerbará los efectos de la injusticia climática. “Se prevén fuertes reducciones de ingresos en la mayoría de las regiones, incluidas América del Norte y Europa, siendo Asia meridional y África las más afectadas. Estas se deben al impacto del cambio climático en diversos aspectos relevantes para el crecimiento económico, como el rendimiento agrícola, la productividad laboral o las infraestructuras”, afirma Maximilian Kotz científico del PIK. En el caso de España esta reducción sería del 17,8 %, a mediados de siglo debido al cambio climático, una cuantía que superaría los costes de reducir las emisiones globales. En Italia sería del 15 %; Francia 13 %; Alemania 11,1 y en Estados Unidos del 11,2 %. El dato podría ser en Argentina del 12,7 %; en Brasil 21,5 %; México 18,9 %; Colombia 18,7 % o del 22,7 % en Paraguay. Entre los países más afectados, Mauritania (26,4) o Sudán (26,2) y en el extremo opuesto Mongolia (1,1) o Noruega (1,4). “Nuestro análisis muestra que el cambio climático causará daños económicos masivos en los próximos 25 años en casi todos los países del mundo, también en los muy desarrollados como Alemania, Francia y Estados Unidos”, concluye Wenz.

España ha perdido 19 puntos respecto a la renta media de la UE desde la crisis de 2007

Nuestro país ha pasado de superar el PIB de Italia en 2007 y aspirar al G8 a verse por detrás de varios países del Este

De superar a Italia en renta per cápita al final del primer mandato de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero a quedar 15 años después por detrás de países del Este como Eslovenia, Lituania o Estonia. El declive económico de España frente a otros socios europeos se sintetiza en un dato: ha perdido 19 puntos respecto a la renta media de la UE desde la crisis financiera de 2007 en la que se pinchó la burbuja inmobiliaria.

El que fuera embajador ante la UE entre 1995 y 2000, Francisco Javier Elorza, narra en su reciente libro Una pica en Flandes. La huella de España en la Unión Europea (Ed. Debate) cómo se ha pasado «del éxito al desastre» en el terreno de la convergencia real con Europa, una de las obsesiones españoles en las primeras décadas de democracia.

Cuando se produjo la adhesión de España a la entonces Comunidad Económica Europea (CEE) en 1986, el sector exterior de la economía española sufrió «un cambio radical», en palabras de Elorza. La balanza por cuenta corriente -bienes y servicios, remesas y rentas- pasó de un saldo positivo del 1,6% del PNB a un déficit del 3,4%. Pero el sector exterior subió del 37,6% del PNB al 49,7%, de ahí que la economía española se liberalizase «sin grandes traumas».

El ‘sorpasso’ español a Italia

La acumulación de crecimientos positivos del PIB de 1986 a 1991, todos ellos por encima del 4%, provocó que la renta per cápita española respecto a la media europea pasase del 73% en 1985 al 79% en el año previo a los Juegos Olímpicos de Barcelona y la Expo Universal de Sevilla, siendo siempre 100 la media. Esa evolución positiva continuó en los años siguientes hasta alcanzarse el techo en 2007 con el 103%. Fue el día que Zapatero anunció el sorpasso a Italia: España se convertía -tras Alemania, Francia y el Reino Unido- en la cuarta economía europea y el Gobierno español barruntó la idea de pedir un asiento en el G-8 de las principales economías del mundo.

Sin embargo, Eurostat -la agencia europea de estadísticas- corrigió al alza el dato de Italia hasta el 107% tras las quejas de Roma y el sueño español se disipó. Sobre todo, tras las turbulencias financieras provocadas por la caída del banco Lehman Brothers en Estados Unidos.

Aquella crisis financiera torpedeó la racha alcista de España y la renta per cápita se contrajo rápidamente. En 2011 cayó al 92% y en 2019, ya con Pedro Sánchez en el poder, se quedó en el 90,7%. Nuestro país se quedaba, por tanto, al borde de volver a ser elegible para el fondo europeo de cohesión, que permite a los países de la UE acceder a sus recursos que están por debajo del 90%… y que Madrid impulsó en 1991 para ayudar a la convergencia real mientras que los países del Este que llamaban a la puerta de la UE se quedarían con los fondos de desarrollo para los más pobres, los del furgón de cola.

La crisis económica originada por la pandemia del coronavirus en 2020 provocó un vuelco económico en Europa. España sufrió una histórica caída del 11,3% de su PIB, mientras que la media europea registró un descenso más moderado, del 6,4%. Ello dio lugar a que la renta per cápita española bajara al 84,4%. Se había perdido 19 puntos sobre la media de la UE en apenas 13 años. O si se quiere ver desde otro prisma, España está a solo diez puntos de volver a la casilla de salida de 1985 (73%).

«Un desastre», en opinión de Elorza, del que nuestro país no se ha recuperado aunque tenga un pequeño premio de consolación. «Ese revés tiene, sin embargo, un efecto positivo, pues nos hace nuevamente elegibles para el Fondo de Cohesión», constata el exembajador.

A España ya le adelantaron en 2017 tres países que venían del otro lado del Telón de Acero: Eslovenia (92%), República Checa (91%) y Lituania (89%). En 2022 hubo otro país báltico, Estonia (87%), que superó a nuestro país en el ránking de Eurostat. Y acechan por detrás Polonia (80%), Hungría y la vecina Portugal, ambas con el 77%. Un eventual sorpasso luso a la economía española sería histórico.

«Ya no se habla de superar a Italia o a Francia como en la época del presidente Zapatero. El sueño de la convergencia real que planeaba a principios del siglo XXI desgraciadamente se ha venido abajo, por ahora», constata el autor del libro. El hecho de que España aumentase 17 puntos en la renta per cápita media europea fue «sin duda un éxito notable no solo cuantitativa sino también cualitativamente», pero la entrada de los diez países del Este «segó ese porcentaje» al bajar «de manera significativa». Y ahora España se encuentra entre los rezagados.

The Wedding of the century!

article by Gotham Gazette ft. Vouge

-•-

Ladies and gentlemen, we have witnessed the wedding of the century that has taken the world by surprise! Last week, Gotham’s very on resident Bad Boy, one of the son’s of elite Bruce Wayne, has married Puerto Rico’s very own Girl Boss, Yn Ln! The reception was very closed off and private, leaving no space for the paparazzi to show up. Thankfully, with the authorization of the bride, the groom and their families, we were able to get an insight with the select few pictures they have shared with us.

First off, we have the reception! We have to say, extravagance flows through everything the Wayne family does and this is no exception!

The Spanish styled venue was chosen by both the mother of the bride and Bruce Wayne. The theme was enchanted forest and enchanted it was indeed, dare we say ethereal even!

Then, we have the bride. What a sight was she! This look is one for the books! Definitely to be remembered!

Accordin to out sources, the dress is Oscar de la Renta and the shores are some beautiful red bottoms. Although peculiar, the red in her shoes did a beautiful contrast with the theme.

(wink wink a shout out to red hood!)

Finally, we have some pictures shared of the bride with her beloved husband and her bridesmaid. There are even some candids of the maid of honor, known photographer and model, Nola Yang and the grooms siblings, Stephanie Brown and Dick Grayson giving their toast at the reception.

What a beautiful wedding! We give the newlyweds our best wishes in this new journey of life!

Jessica Biel for Elle USA - June 2007

From the moment she appears, Jessica Biel is gracefully deflecting the attention of men. Wearing Roger Vivier white pumps and snug True Religion jeans, her hair tightly pulled back in a ponytail, she walks out of the elevator in the Hotel Gansevoort in New York City's Meatpacking District at a rapid clip, shedding two young men who had the incredible good luck to have ridden down with her. She nods them off nicely as they walk away grinning and no doubt mentally compiling lists of buddies who'll be receiving the following text message: "DUDE! I WAS JUST IN AN ELEVATOR WITH THE SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE!"

Next in the gauntlet is a Moby-looking scenester with a paunch who descends upon her in Ono, the Gansevoort's bustling, dimly lit Japanese restaurant, introducing him- self as if he's an old friend. The fact that he's wielding a Treo device like a video camera goes unnoticed by Biel, who later refers to said implication as "creepy." She dis- patches him into the darkness with a tight smile and walks through the large restaurant to a back booth, caus- ing a ripple of chopsticks to go still as heads turn.

If the rhythms and rotations of the mass entertainment media complex are to be trusted, we are currently living in Jessica Biel's Big Moment. After getting her foot in the door in 1996 on the show 7th Heaven, the now-25-year- old actress won the hearts and minds of the boys with her badass ability to wield a meat cleaver in the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a bow and arrow in 2004's Blade: Trinity. Her turn in 2005's Stealth, which bombed (literally), may have gone largely unnoticed, but the trailer highlighting Biel under a waterfall certainly didn't. Then in the fall of 2005, Esquire bestowed on her the magazine's "Sexiest Woman" honorific. Last summer, she deftly skipped over the threshold from hottie to respectable actor with her supple performance as an early-twentieth-century duchess opposite Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti in The Illusionist and since then has become a red-carpet flashbulb magnet, wearing Valentino to the Golden Globes and, to present at the Oscars, a fuchsia halter-top Oscar de la Renta dress that strikingly revealed her toned shoulders.

And yet "it's still a struggle," Biel says, sitting up straight with the alertness of a ninja. Her tan sleeveless Preen turtleneck highlights her muscular arms. "I thought the Esquire cover was going to be really positive for my career," she says. "But it wasn't, really." Biel recalls being told by one director, "I'm not looking for the sexiest woman; I'm looking for the girl next door."

"Parts that I really want aren't going to me," Biel says. "Like The Other Boleyn Girl with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman." But she stops herself. "I don't want to say that there's nothing I love that I can have. But there's still the occasional script that the director doesn't want to see you for. They want that top tier of girls."

So how does she go from Big Moment to top tier? Gaug- ing from her acting heroes-Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, and Annette Bening (with whom she will costar, along with Sean Bean, in a screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde's play A Woman of No Importance)-it seems she has good taste. And in addition to working with Nicolas Cage and Julianne Moore in the recent thriller Next, Biel is finally getting a turn at comedy-something she's been longing for-opposite Adam Sandler and Kevin James in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, due out next month.

"Jessica is a great actress who also happens to be smart, sweet, and funny," Sandler says. "But the best part of working with her was watching her beat Kevin James at arm wrestling." Not that the movie, about two firefighters who pretend to be gay in order to claim domestic-partner benefits (Biel plays their lawyer), refrains from reveling in her sexiness-she sheds her clothes for a gawking Sandler, and when his character first sees her, his world goes into super slow-mo.

"She's capable of attaining the Julia Roberts crown," says Chuck and Larry director Dennis Dugan, referring to Biel's healthy-American-girl vibe and comic timing. The actress herself is wary of such pronouncements.

"The scary thing about having this opportunity is that if it's 'your moment,' that eventually disappears," she says. "I think about reaching for 'the moment' but never really achieving it. That way, I'm always striving."

BIEL CARRIES HERSELF WITH THE CONFIDENCE OF A DANCER OR AN ACCOMPLISHED JOCK-BOTH OF WHICH SHE HAS BEEN.

When Biel walked onto the set of The Illusionist, director Neil Burger was impressed with her athlete's readiness and resolve. She carries herself with the confidence of a dancer or an accomplished jock-both of which she has been. "She completely gave as good as she got" with her Oscar-nominated costars Norton and Giamatti, Burger says. "That's a testament to her poise and her talent."

Early in the production, Biel had a scene with Norton that put the two of them in a stream in the Czech Republic in March. "It was essentially liquid ice. It was like an elec- tric shock, and it knocked the breath out of both of us and Jess turned blue," Norton says. "When we watched it back on the monitor, you could see it hadn't played out exactly right. Neil and I both wanted to do it again, but some- times you have to give up perfect for safety, and we were hesitant to ask her to get back in that water. But she said, 'It wasn't right, was it? Let's do it again.' And I thought, All right, she's a pro."

"She doesn't take herself too seriously," says her friend and producing partner Michelle Purple.

Stephen Collins, who played Biel's minister father on 7th Heaven, agrees: "She has an incredible goof-off, tom- boy streak," he says.

So what was a tomboy doing in the front rows at fashion week in Paris early last March? ("An intimi- dating and overwhelming environment," Biel says.) Scoring some clothing, including the Preen number she's wearing now, and also celebrating her twenty- fifth birthday. "Someone said, 'You have five years till 30.' I started to think, Wow, over the next five years, my life could really change personally," Biel says smil- ing, with a slight squint of her catlike eyes.

When the tabloids started spotting Biel with Justin Timberlake in January shortly after his breakup with Cameron Diaz-the two were seen snowboard- ing together in Park City, Utah, during the Sundance Film Festival; sharing a glass of champagne at Prince's Golden Globes party; and backstage at Timberlake's concert in San Diego-her personal life suddenly became of great interest to the public. She dodges a probe about her relationship with Timberlake while knocking back shrimp tempura with aplomb, saying that she was in Park City with girlfriends and holding

"WE DIDN'T LOCK OUR DOORS," BIEL SAYS OF HER COLORADO CHILDHOOD,

meetings for her production company, Iron Ocean Films. Nor does she want to discuss her past relation- ships with actors Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans, or Yankee star Derek Jeter, "for no other reason than I can't even go to the dry cleaner by myself anymore," she says. "You're seen in public with anybody that you might not even know, and you're speculated about."

Asked if the constant attention makes dating hard, she says, "It makes everything hard because you can't even go to pick up a prescription without somebody trying to snap a photo of what you have in your Longs Drugs bag. Thank goodness I'm a nice person," she says. "Thank you, Mom, for teaching me that.

"The day after Biel was born, in Ely, Minnesota, her parents took her to a dogsled race; it was 30 degrees below zero. By age one she was in a canoe. Her mother, who is "New Age," grew up in Colorado, hunting for arrowheads as a child; her father was a "mountain man" who ran an Outward Bound school and worked as an international business consultant. His career took the family (her brother, Justin, is three years younger) from Texas to Connecticut and, finally, to Boulder. "We didn't lock our doors," she says. "We snowboarded, hiked, climbed, rafted. We grew up without a fear of the world."

Although Biel thrived at athletics, she doesn't remember a time when she wasn't dancing or sing- ing. At age 11, she signed up with a talent agency in Denver, which got her to the International Modeling and Talent Association convention in Los Angeles, which in turn got her into meetings with managers and agencies.

"I wanted to be Whitney Houston for a long time. I would be onstage and I would just come alive," Biel recalls. "I begged my parents to let me go out for pilot season."

When she was 14, she landed her central role in 7th Heaven, playing the oldest daughter of seven kids in a wholesome Christian family. But after a few years, she wanted to mix things up personally and professionally. At 17, Biel posed seductively for a Gear magazine photo shoot, topless with scant bottoms. It was a clear sign that she wanted to be off the show. "I was all over the place," she says now. "I was being a rebellious teenager." She feels that she was exploited by the magazine, but 7th Heaven's producers cut her out of the series. (She eventually returned in a more limited role.)

"The Gear thing, while embarrassing, wasn't exactly bad for her career," Collins says. True enough, in that between Gear and Esquire Biel worked on seven major films. But none of those movies had anywhere near the impact that taking off her clothes did . Julianne Moore says that Biel's "extraordinary" beauty appears as if "she were carved from marble," but she also has a body that you'd think only a comic book artist could draw-curvy in just the right places-and yet still healthy.

"WE SNOWBOARDED, HIKED, CLIMBED, RAFTED. WE GREW UP WITHOUT A FEAR OF THE WORLD."

Biel works out three times a week, primarily heart-rate training, doing fast-speed soccer exercises, squats, and running. She also does yoga regularly. Still, she feigns dismay at the suggestion that she looks buff.

"What do you mean? This is the thinnest and the least muscular I've been in a long time," she protests. "I'm so lean and feminine!"

As we order tea after dinner, the large party of 20 at the banquet table perpendicular to ours has mostly disbanded, allowing four of the men left at the table to reshuffle themselves so that eventually they sit on one side, facing her. It's as if they're at dinner theater. Biel may feel she has yet to land the role that breaks her out, but until that time, she has no shortage of fans who will be happy to watch her along the way.

When asked to go bowling two days later, after her ELLE photo shoot, Biel scarcely raises an eyebrow. She throws on a black ensemble and arrives ready to roll at Chelsea Piers between two lanes of bouncy seven-year-old girls. Despite doing pretty poorly, losing for eight frames, she pulls a spare, a strike, and two nines at the very end to win the contest. "I was really sucking, but I'm a closer," she says gamely. "You should see me at beer pong."

MLP Song Tournament: Results of Round 1

Warning: Very long post. So many stats

Of the three biggest landslides, two of them were This Day Aria, with the reprise winning with 93.04% and the original winning with 95.85%.

The reprise's sweep is extra impressive considering that it went up against an actual song rather than a joke songlet.

The number one sweep, The Smile Song, won with a whopping 98.15%!!!

For context, this is a bigger sweep than Discord (Remix) [which eventually won] vs Discord's Puppet. This is bigger than Chris Pine vs Chris Pratt. This is bigger than the assassination of Julius Caesar. This is even bigger than Oscar Wilde vs Oscar de la Renta, the previous record holder for sweeps in my tournaments (and because that matchup and the Smile Song ended at around the same time, that record stood for about 10 minutes)

Now, going from the biggest sweep to the biggest opposite of a sweep: we had another tie! We Got This Together vs So Many Wonders.

This one got more votes than this blog's previous tie (Earnest vs On Wings of Moonlight)*

*If you remove my vote, the win margin for We Got This Together becomes 50.21%, which is still more than Rainbow Factory got against Anthropology and The Moon Rises.

The two next closest matches were Friendship Bound vs The Goof-Off (51.41%) and Pinkie's Singing Telegram Song vs Off to See the World (53.125%)

Speaking of the Singing Telegram, that was the only song that was originally put in the "Okay" Tier (fifth tier from the top, or second from the bottom), thus making it's defeat of Off to See the World (which was second tier from the top on a Movie song tier list) the biggest upset of the round. There were 9 upsets in total this round*

*technically Glass of Water beating Friends Are Always There For You was an upset too, but I am not counting it, as they were both in the tier "Wonderful Songs" (third from top) and it was entirely random that FaATfY was one seed above GoW. Since they really had the same ranking, I don't count it as an upset

One matchup wasn't a massive sweep, nor was it close, but it is interesting for a third reason. That being, the third option. B.B.B.F.F. vs The Heart Carol was the matchup that got the most Show results votes.

This was because it was reblogged by @todayontumblr, and as such was shown to a lot of people who don't care about MLP but do like pressing buttons.

Below is how many songs from each season entered the tournament, how many remain, and the percentage that moved on.

*Other refers to songs from Best Gift Ever, Rainbow Roadtrip, the Theme Song, and the song A Pony Kind of Christmas

Of the 131 songs, 67 moved on, or just over half. Seasons 2-5 all performed better than this, while season 1, the later seasons and most other media performed worse. I would guess this is due to Season 1 being full of songlets, and the later seasons and other media being less familiar. The exception to this is the Movie, which impressively won all but one match-up (and even then it was the third closest match)

Here is the above, but with specific episodes with a lot of songs

Aside from Rainbow Roadtrip and The Crystal Empire, musical episodes all performed better than half

Now here is the above, but with the character singing the song

Pinkie Pie actually held on better than I expected, considering how many of her songlets got swept. As there are a lot of Pinkie Pie songs, and multiple people provide her singing voice, here is a breakdown of just her Voice Actors

Shannon Chan-Kent: 15 | 9 (60%) Andrea Libman : 10 | 1 (10%) EileMonty : 1 | 0 (0%)

As you can see, Andrea Libman as Pinkie Pie mostly did the songlets that got swept, with the only song she sang remaining being The Fresh Princess of Friendship (though she also sang The Goof-Off, which came close to winning)

As for how my taste conforms to Tumblr's, I have 36 MLP songs saved to my Music folder, and of these, 29 made it to Round 2*

*2 of these songs, At the Gala and True True Friend, were given byes, and so could not have been eliminated. Also, in 2 matchups, I had saved both songs, so the possible range was 4-34

But how about how my 11-year-old self's taste conformed? They had 5 songs saved to their IC Recorder, and of those, 3 made it to Round 2*

*This is kind of cheating, because the fact that I had saved At the Gala and Babs Seed when I was 11 is literally part of the reason they were given byes. So the possible range was 2-5.

Round 2 Starts Today!

PSA: If you like Reading the Rainbow and enjoy my unhinged posts analyzing colors in queer media (I didn't update it in February *oops*!), try taking a visual rhetoric course.

What is visual rhetoric? It's how images persuade us, influence our thoughts, and reinforce a concept.

Why does it matter? We live in a very visual world, so everything we see affects our decisions and understanding of how we interact with the world.

Where could I find such a course? If you are a college student, it's hidden in the English department (we don't just wax poetic about the written word). Sometimes the course can be cross-listed with COMM or provided by that department. Art students from graphic designers to filmmakers, psych majors, and marketing majors can usually use it as an elective. I've seen some political science and textile majors strong-arm their advisors to sign off on it as well.

What if I'm not a college student? You could audit the course. You can also check your local community college and audit the course. Or you could check online. Many colleges offer the course free or for a small fee as the college attempts to design the course (pilot it).

What would I learn in it? Rhetorical theories and how they apply to images, visuals, and symbols. It won't just be about the colors though. You will likely analyze print advertisements and commercials for their concepts and meanings. You might examine propaganda, social movements, and political campaigns. You could possibly study famous photographers or other pieces. Endless possibilities really.

Is this stuff really that deep though? Let The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly explain:

This… “stuff”? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You… go to your closet, and you select… I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.

You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns, and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it?… who showed cerulean military jackets. [...]

And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores, and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin.

[...] so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry, when in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of “stuff.”

Enjoy learning more about this "stuff" and, as always, feel free to share your thoughts with me and ask questions if you have any.

Hola querida Rosa, que tal tu SS.

La mía algo llena de pensamientos y también salidas chéveres a la playa. Quería comentarte un poco sobre cómo vengo sintiéndome en lo que llevamos de año. De antemano agradezco tu tiempo y disposición a leerme una vez más.

Actualmente me siento en una crisis personal. Con el pasar de los meses me he dado cuenta que estoy estancada, en todos los aspectos de mi vida y lo único que cargo es con culpas y parálisis porque no se qué puedo hacer o por dónde empezar a solucionar mis problemas.

Tengo que reconocer y admitir que no vivo la vida que quisiera, pero irónicamente, no sé cuál es la vida que quiero vivir. No soy feliz con mi profesión pero tampoco se qué otra cosa hacer para volver a empezar; vivo con mis bolsillos vacíos pero no sé cómo crear y generar ingresos porque siento que carezco de habilidades y talentos; quiero marcharme de casa pero tal y como dije en el punto anterior, mis ingresos apenas me permiten pagar los gastos de adulto como renta, transportes, etc.

Hace dos días estaba con una amiga en la playa, y, estando frente al mar me dijo "finalmente tengo lo que mi yo de quince quería: salir de viaje y a cualquier lugar que yo quisiera con mi propio dinero" cosa a la que respondí"gracias a Dios y que siempre sea así" pero por dentro me sentí desmoronada porque lamentablemente no puedo decir lo mismo.

Tantas cosas que quiero hacer y siempre he tenido la desdicha de ganar poquísimo o siempre me veo malograda salarialmente. Respecto a esta amistad, admito que he querido terminarla porque simplemente termino sintiéndome inferior y me cuesta inspirarme, y la verdad ella no merece una amistad como la mía, simplemente no estoy a su nivel y la verdad es que ya las cosas no son iguales, a veces pienso que solo nos une la costumbre o el tiempo que llevamos conociéndonos.

Todos los días me pregunto "cuando será mi turno?" "Cuándo podré tener claridad sobre lo que quiero y ponerme en ello?"

Siento que retrocedi en mi mejora que obtuve hace dos años y poco a poco estoy volviendo a mi yo de antes. Últimamente solo quiero pelear con todo el mundo o simplemente estar sola sin que nadie me moleste. Físicamente estoy tan desagradable que mejor ni entro en detalle.

El tiempo pasa y simplemente siento que soy una vergüenza de persona, desesperada por ser la mejor, pero con 0% de orgullo de si misma.

Muchas veces querida amiga, nuestro problema es la Aceptación

La aceptación es una de nuestras asignaturas pendientes. Nos cuesta aceptar todo aquello que no nos agrada o que no se corresponde con nuestras expectativas. De hecho, la distancia que existe entre nuestras expectativas y la realidad se convierte en una de nuestras principales fuentes de sufrimiento.

Si no aceptamos la realidad y deseamos que las cosas sean distintas, nos condenamos a sufrir inútilmente. De hecho, muchas veces ese sufrimiento es el resultado de nuestras reacciones emocionales, actitudes y pensamientos, más que de las consecuencias del problema en sí.

Si no consigues lo que quieres, sufres. Si consigues lo que no quieres, sufres. Incluso cuando obtienes exactamente lo que quieres, sigues sufriendo porque sabes que no podrás tenerlo para siempre. Tu mente crea esa situación

Cuando nada nos satisface y supeditamos continuamente nuestra felicidad a alcanzar ciertas cosas, corremos el riesgo de pasarnos toda la vida esperando un futuro mejor que nunca llega. Muchas personas creen que serán felices cuando su situación cambie, cuando consigan un trabajo mejor o hallen a su media naranja. Piensan que solo podrán disfrutar de la vida cuando logren eso que tanto ansían.

No aceptar el presente y vivir esperando un futuro mejor puede conducirnos a un estado de insatisfacción crónica, el cual se conoce como bovarismo. Este síndrome se inspira en la figura literaria de madame Bovary, una mujer permanentemente insatisfecha con su situación conyugal que vivía en un mundo de ensoñaciones.

El bovarismo se debe al contraste entre nuestras ilusiones y aspiraciones, que a menudo son desproporcionadas respecto a nuestras posibilidades, y una realidad que se percibe como frustrante. Esa insatisfacción suele dar pie a comportamientos desadaptativos que generan aún más frustración, cerrando así un bucle de insatisfacción que nos condena a la infelicidad.

A veces la vida nos somete a duras pruebas, pero cerrar los ojos ante lo que sucede no cambiará los hechos, al contrario, puede conducir a la aparición de trastornos psicológicos debido a la represión de los contenidos emocionales que siguen perturbándonos desde el inconsciente

Es fundamental entender que la frustración suele depender de nuestras expectativas. Si alimentamos expectativas irreales y estas no se cumplen, nos sentiremos frustrados e insatisfechos. Ese tipo de pensamientos dinamita nuestra vida y hace que nos instalemos en las quejas y la amargura. La aceptación de la realidad tal y como es nos ayudará a vivir los contratiempos con sosiego y serenidad.

La aceptación implica dejar de identificarnos con determinadas situaciones y, sobre todo, liberarnos de los sentimientos que nos dañan.

No te ahogues en las quejas, busca soluciones. Lamentarte por lo que te ha ocurrido no cambiará la situación. Hasta cierto punto puede ser catártico, pero si te quedas atascado/a en las quejas te convertirás en una víctima de las circunstancias. Las quejas que no conducen a un plan de acción son una pérdida de energía, una energía que podrías usar de manera más inteligente para buscar soluciones alternativas. Pregúntate qué es lo que te molesta y qué puedes cambiar realmente de tu situación para mejorarla.

Aprende a dejar ir. No siempre podrás cambiar las situaciones ya que tu nivel de control sobre lo que sucede es limitado. En ese caso debes aprender a dejar ir todos esos pensamientos y sentimientos dañinos a los que te estás aferrando.

Practica la gratitud. “Si con todo lo que tienes no eres feliz, con todo lo que te falta tampoco lo serás”. En vez de centrarte en todo lo que te falta, recuerda todo lo que tienes. Llevar un diario de la gratitud es una excelente herramienta para que aprendas a fijarte en todas las cosas valiosas que probablemente estás dando por sentado.

Cambia tu narrativa. Eres tu historia. No se trata de la historia de los acontecimientos de tu vida sino de la narrativa que has construido a su alrededor y del papel que has asumido: héroe o víctima, competente o incompetente… En vez de colocarte etiquetas generalizadoras que te limiten, céntrate en la situación que te genera malestar. Piensa en lo que no te gusta y en lo que necesitarías cambiar para sentirte satisfecho/a. ¿Cómo reaccionas cuando tienes ese pensamiento negativo? ¿Qué serías capaz de hacer si ese pensamiento negativo no estuviera rondando tu mente? ¿Cómo te sentirías sin él? Cambiar la narrativa que construyes en torno a un acontecimiento te permitirá asumir la realidad desde una perspectiva más positiva y desarrolladora.

No te fijes tanto en lo que consiguen los demás y céntrate en lo que quieres conseguir tu.

En cuanto a tu amiga, no has de cortar relación solo porque le vayan algo mejor las cosas, todo puede cambiar, de repente a ti te puede ir todo mejor y a ella peor .. consérvala al menos para que te haga compañía en la playa.

Un abrazo 😘

i’m feeling evil sooo top five of your ros 👀 (or ocs for you? jsdhsjsjs)

Ohh, this is terrible because I have 9 if children soo 4 are going to end up being missed out, howeverrr:

(disclaimer that I love ro kids, they make my life so so much better, I can’t even tell you how happy these fictional characters make me!)

C DeLuca (from Before Dusk Sets In)

I genuinely never realised that I literally created myself in interactive fiction ro form… like, I just had the idea of creating a soft, black ro because I don’t regularly see characters like that in if or just media representation as a whole, so it was nice to create C. So, now I have to give them more characteristics or C literally will be a whole version of me.

B Holden (from Golden)

My first interactive fiction child!! Literally, my whole process of creating B was: ‘I have to create a black character who’s a werewolf, but they’re completely the opposite of the angry stereotype and they have a heart of gold.’ Like, I knew B would be a character that would be in my writing in some capacity — they’re my literal comfort character, and it warms my heart seeing other people like them because they were my least popular ro. Plus, they give amazing hugs and they’d hype you up at every opportunity.

Fun fact: when I was creating B, I was like ‘okay, I love the name Blaise so let’s use that for the male version’. Then I saw another if had a Blaise so I was like ‘let’s use a Blaze’ instead — and my reasoning for not using the first spelling was stupid, but I feel like the Blaze spelling fits their personality more? Something like that anyway.

K de la Renta (from Golden)

As you can see there is a pattern where I’ve been starved of black characters in fiction, howeverrr, K feels more like a complete character to me. If I wasn’t the person who created them and I met them, I would be intimidated, 100%, but they’re so complete in the terms that they have dreams, and fears, and desires, and though the future scares the hell out of them (partly due to their immortality), I think they’re always trying to clutch for good things and good people in life — and they’re so much more than their confident persona, and then just having some belief in themselves to show their complete authentic self to others would be perfect, so I can’t wait to write and show that. Plus… fucking dimples.

L Corrales (from Before Dusk Sets In)

L’s mind is very fun because I think it’s just pure chaos! Like, I genuinely think there’s so much that they think about that it’s enough to keep them excited and just keep them going. I feel like they’re someone that romanticises life, and in general, I think people need more of that. Despite their fears, they joined a gang. Despite their fears, they’re going to fall deeply and madly in love, and despite so much that may go wrong, you miss out on all the chances that you don’t take, so I love their mindset.

P Martens (from Golden)

P may be the ro I think about the most, I think… the main reason being is that I think about Maya Quimby a lot (like, seriously, I’m on my knees for her and I’d take her out so we could be best friends and bond even though I think our personalities are somewhat opposites), but also because I find P to be this soft, ethereal person who just glides through life, and soaks up all their experiences like a sponge and learns from them (apart from the emotional ones, but maybe they’ll work on that…). And they just have this thirst for knowledge, out of the other four, they genuinely would like to attend Lehsa University just so they could learn about stuff from a human aspect.

I think P is a person who’s an ambivert, they love plants, and soft animals, and they’re a hopeless romantic, but they’re suave and confident and they’ll tease you about shit — like, they don’t fit into one box, and I think years ago, there was always this perception that you need to fit into a neat box and have a label — but P is far from that.

#ask #well this was a whirlwind #which is why I’m glad to have this blog because look at my rambling #this is what my brain is full of #nikka 🎤
