🗯️ "Cuando tú eres artista, tienes que estar pendiente a todo"
Dayán Melián Castro es un artista plástico con una obra marcada por la denuncia social y política.
Recientemente comenzó a pintar cocuyos como una forma de protesta contra los apagones que afectan a la población cubana durante la mayor parte del día, y a veces más.
🗯️ "Parece que ellos se enteran de que nos quitan la luz y dicen 'vamos a darle un poco de luz a esta gente".
Cubanet lo visitó en su casa para conversar sobre este tema y esto fue lo que nos dijo.
@Kalshi Louisiana following in 3,2,1… We have the ten commandments already on display in classrooms, mandated by law. Freedom of religion, sure! The Establishment Clause is going down the drain in the South.
El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.
“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.
A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.
If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:
1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
@FoxNews Fox News saying “alleged violations against children in conflict” as if the whole world is blind. I would ask Fox “News” to do better, but it’s Fox…
¡Felicidades, Brasil! Aplaudimos su victoria.
Nuestra selección jugó con entrega y dignidad. Haití está orgulloso de sus jugadores. Perder duele, pero deja lecciones. El espíritu de lucha sigue vivo en cada haitiano y en nuestra selección.
Gracias, Granadye, por hacernos soñar.
My advice? Fuck a deck. I'm all decked out. Write an outline and sit down and write the script.
The average script page is 225 words. Four pages a day for 12 days, you have a television script. Add another fifteen days, you have a feature. And you're not done. Writing is rewriting. Put it away for another week, and come back with new eyes. I'm not saying it will be any good. Not yet. But it's a start.
Not telling you anything I'm not also doing.
If you put all that energy into a deck and it doesn't sell ---and trust me, most don't, all you have is a nice brochure. At least with a spec, you have something to show for it. Something you can build on.
Stop making excuses. Rip the band-aid off. Working full time? Toni Morrison got up at 3:45 am., wrote from 4 to 6, and then took her kids to school, and then edited books full time. And still managed to write Song Of Solomon, the Bluest Eye, and constant other classics while waiting for her shot.
Don't have a computer? Tarantino, Spike Lee, and Stallone all write by hand, which is something I've gone back to. Moleskine and Paper Mate markers. No distractions, you can do it a anywhere, and when you retype, gives you a second bite at the apple.
(Photograph your pages. If you lose your notebook or spill coffee on it, that's all she wrote.)
Don't start with four pages. Start with one. Fifteen minutes -- you spend longer in the shower, brushing your teeth, and scrolling.
I wish I could give you a shortcut, but I can't. Writing sucks. No way around that. If you box, no one else gonna put in the roadwork, skip rope, hit the bag, or get punched in the face for you. That's your job.
Everybody wants a hug, and to be told it's all going to be okay, and I can't tell you that. But what I can tell you is no unwritten script ever gets sold.
As for me? I've got miles to run and pages to hit. Keep going....Always Forward, Forward Always...
you must create because the thing you’d make doesn’t exist anywhere else. nobody has your exact combination of experiences and wounds and obsessions, which means the work only you could make is genuinely irreplaceable. if you don’t make it, it simply never exists. the world just goes without it, never knowing what it missed. that’s the most exciting thing about being you. the thing is waiting and you’re the only door it has.
