We are usually told by shrinks that, once we become adults, it’s useless to go on blaming our parents for our current problems. Stop saying: “I didn’t get enough hugs”; “I wasn’t breastfed long enough”; “They didn’t pay any attention to me once my younger siblings were born”; “I was invisible Seguir leyendo
¡Qué pena! Me acabo de enterar de que no soy “una argentina de bien”. Siempre pensé que lo era. Pero a los ojos del Presidente aquellos que participamos del banderazo del 17-A, definitivamente no lo somos. Según sus palabras, “los argentinos de bien” protagonizarán un banderazo patriótico solo cuando termine Seguir leyendo
Sadly enough, due to the pandemic, we can’t go to the theatre or to the movies. However, there’s a free show staged at our National Congress, which is certainly worth watching. I really don’t know what to call it, though. I mean, what genre their play is. Absurdist? Surreal? Is it Seguir leyendo
¿Cómo que no hay teatro? Disculpen, pero quienes creen eso, están muy equivocados. A pesar de la pandemia, hace tiempo ya que se está ofreciendo en nuestro querido país un mega espectáculo, nada menos que en el Congreso de la Nación. No sabría cómo calificarlo.

En cualquier momento, el Presidente le dice (o manda decir) al expresidente: “Te espero a la salida” (o en la esquina), y ambos Seguir leyendo

Aclaro: no soy terraplanista, ni fascista, ni gorila, ni anticuarentena, ni golpista, ni contrera., no antidemocrática. Me considero una ciudadana independiente. No estoy afiliada a ningún partido político (o sea, no me caso con nadie). Trato de conservar mi actitud crítica y cierta equidistancia y pragmatismo, para evitar fanatismos. Me Seguir leyendo
Let’s admit it. By now, after 150 lockdown days, most of us are broken hearted, broke, anxious, extremely worried, scared, cornered by this treacherous virus,. To put it shortly: fed up. In this gloomy context, to hear certain politicians talking about the 2021 legislative elections, sounds untimely, plainly obscene. Take Seguir leyendo
