URGENT! Those of us who can, should consider travelling to the West Bank and Jerusalem to help Palestinian families under attack and the activists deployed to protect them.

Heterodoxo...menos cuando tengo razón.

Las personas migrantes no son un ataque. Ataques son la pobreza, el expolio, el injusto reparto de la riqueza, la falta de derechos y libertades, los imperialismos y colonialismos, el control coercitivo, la represión y las guerras que provocan desplazamientos, huidas y búsqueda de refugio con la esperanza de tener una vida digna. Ataque es la instrumentalización y el uso de la gente más vulnerable, de las personas migrantes, y la aceptación de marcos narrativos racistas, con los que se justifican retrocesos en derechos y libertades que siempre perjudican a las mayorías sociales.

Israel ya ocupa el 64% de Gaza, arrinconando a más de dos millones de personas en el 36% restante, y anuncia que tomará el 70%. La llamada línea amarilla, establecida con el plan de Trump, sigue avanzando y devorando terreno. Las tropas israelíes aprovechan la noche para trasladar los bloques de cemento pintados de amarillo que señalizan —solo en algunos tramos— esa demarcación. Cada vez que lo hacen, obligan a población palestina a desplazarse nuevamente. A menudo se sirven de la violencia, disparando contra tiendas de campaña, escuelas y viviendas. Así mataron recientemente a la niña Ritaj Abdel Raouf Rihan, que asistía a clase en un campo de refugiados cercano a la línea amarilla. El aniquilamiento sigue su curso Artículo en el siguiente tuit ✍🏽↘️

The genocide seems unstoppable, Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not! All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE. Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating. Not just once. All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.

Com a pare d'alumne, crec que són molt justes les reivindicacions de la vaga indefinida del professorat valencià: ensenyament públic de qualitat, millors condicions materials en els centres, reducció de la ratio per aula, retribucions dignes, ús normalitzat de la nostra llengua i correcció de les retallades de plantilles, entre d'altres. L'educació pública és un element essencial per a la igualtat social. I hauria de ser recolzada al màxim per les nostres institucions. L'administració autonòmica faria bé tancant el conflicte amb un acord constructiu, que reconega les legítimes demandes dels sindicats. I que servisca per a millorar el futur del poble valencià, que passa necessàriament per la qualitat del nostre sistema educatiu.

"At least 200 illegal "baby factories" have been shut down by the Nigerian authorities in the last five years..Sometimes these girls are released, other times they die during childbirth, or are murdered and placed in the grounds of the organisation" says social worker Ms Coker.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

Saludo esta importante decisión de la @CorteSupremaJ de #Colombia sobre la #prostitución de adolescentes y niños. Aprecio que la Corte haya leído mi informe sobre la prostitución y la violencia contra las mujeres y las niñas, y que lo haya citado en su decisión. (Puede acceder a la versión en español de mi informe aquí: https://t.co/xP5RlWZGTb) Haré comentarios más detallados al respecto la próxima semana, dada su importancia. Sin embargo, y por el momento, quería expresar mi sincera esperanza de que el próximo paso sea aplicar el mismo enfoque que adoptó la Corte aqua con respecto a la prostitución de las mujeres (adultas).
