An ode to being radical - Pluto Press In this excerpt from 'Radical Justice', Nani Jansen Reventlow teaches us that we have power to change the course of history.

«We need to organise and build a mass movement around our vision for a community, a country, a world built on a foundation of human rights and racial, social, and economic justice.»

A granite memorial takes the form of a square placed on one point. Flanking the two bottom sides are a list of names of the dead and disappeared.

Granite slabs in a tan color feature the names of the disappeared, including Daniel A. Castro Lopez, Sergio Contreras, Luis E. Duran, Guillermo Galvez Rivadeneira, Maximo Geoda Ortiz, Leonardo Henrichsen, Charles Horman, Ricardo Montecinos, and Archibaldo Morales.

A small flyer or sticker features an abstracted black and white image of what appears to be a man and a woman and the phrase, "¿Dónde están?

On the third floor of a journalists' association building in Santiago you'll find a small monument that pays tribute to journalists killed and disappeared during the Pinochet regime.

Among the names is Charles Horman, who inspired Costa-Gavras's "Missing."

The Queer Art of Failure

Jack Halberstam's "The Queer Art of Failure" uses Stuart Hall's concept of “low culture”— and SpongeBob SquarePants, Finding Nemo, Chicken Run, Dude Where's My Car, and other texts— to critique a culture that privileges conformity and complacency and marginalizes those who don't fit its ideals.

“What are we pretending not to know today?”

😍 I hope you enjoy it. I read it like 10 years ago, and when Jeanette Winterson came to Barcelona a few days ago, I felt the urgency to read it again.

Photo of the book over a black surface. It has a light grey soft cover with the title “In the Spaces Between” in white text.

^ A thoughtful, well articulated, beautiful review of our book ‘In the Spaces Between,’ about the past 10 years of the Arts at CERN program.

The book was edited by Monica Bello, with editorial assistance of Ana Prendes and beautifully designed by @nina-cc.bsky.social

When accelerators turn into sweaters – CERN Courier Edited by Mónica Bello, In the Spaces Between is a sustained reflection on the long-running Arts at CERN programme.

“With its emphasis on process rather than outcomes, the book offers a rare window into how artistic inquiry operates inside a laboratory environment (…) it traces the intellectual and imaginative terrain that lies between them, a space defined not by synthesis, but by ongoing negotiation.”

Photo of a han holding Jeanette Winterson’s book “Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?” The cover shows a girl at the beach, in a swimsuit holding an inflatable plastic colourful ball. The title is written in white letters above the girl and the author’s name and other small texts below. In the background a bookshelf.

Inside title page of the same book signed by the author. It says: to Ethel, Jeanette Winterson, Barcelona. The photo is taken also in front of a bookshelf.

«I know these are ways of surviving, but maybe a refusal, any refusal, to be broken lets in enough light and air to keep believing in the world—the dream of scape.»

Rereading this wonderful book, for how it fits in the here and now (from 2011) and because it has one of my fav book tittles ever.

Switzerland will vote in June on a far-right proposal to cap the population at 10 mio. If the limit is reached, the govt would be required to withdraw from the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons with the EU.

Tweets by Brian Goldstone dated 25 July 2025 read: “A reminder: framing homelessness as a problem of mental illness or addiction has been politically manufactured to divert attention from its *actual* causes-skyrocketing rents, poverty wages, gutted social supports-and to justify the removal of homeless people from public space.” “What CAUSES homelessness is the lack of safe, dignified affordable housing-full stop. To be clear: mental illness or substance use no more cause homelessness than a fever causes the flu.”

two cats sleeping on a gray couch—one gray cat curled up on the seat and one orange-and-white cat resting on a pillow along the backrest. In the background there’s an open kitchen with a wooden counter.

similar image, just the white-orange cat moved from the resting pillow to the gray cushion on the side of the sofa.

It’s a lazy Saturday’s morning for these lovely guys in here; and I’m just enjoying the restful moment.

The #stormreader and I confirm that this is a relevant book to our current times.

It’s a beautiful one, where words and illustrations work perfectly together to tell a story of hope and kinship when forced movement becomes one’s reality due to conflict.

(pst, this cover is not the final one)

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.

Y aprovechamos para recordar que el control de acceso a internet y la recopilación de datos sin una mirada queer y feminista *sólo perjudica y es peligroso para les de siempre*.

it's actually very important to understand the thing you are condemning, otherwise you're not actually condemning it.

The same beautiful diversity that VOX, PP, and all the right wing parties denies.

I always loved this since the first moment I arrived here: the impossibly of understanding euskera, the singing-like sound of galego, the frenchitalianspanish sounds I was able to recognise in catalan ✨
