The heatwave has claimed its first victim in Barcelona.

Please check that the people going to work are provided with the necessary conditions and are not exposed to unnecessary dangers.

The law requires that work be suspended during the hottest hours, and employers are obliged to create favorable conditions.

I feel compelled to disconnect from recruitment platforms. They may work for others, but for me, it's a waste of time and a ten-year activity that leads nowhere.

It's the longest dysfunctional relationship I've ever had, and it's a forced one. Of course, if I couldn't be online on these platforms, I would. They don't teach you anything, only offer you premium fees when you are broke and it's a lot of work to apply.

What are my chances of finding a job and surviving if I don't apply online in 2025?

The first non-functional platform was EURES. Aside from babysitting with a university degree, other job offers were occasional. Job platforms in Spain will follow with the disconnection, as they are also in the 10 years of use without satisfaction. The Catalan recruitment platform made me an interview offer and when I arrived there I realized they thought I was Italian because of my surname...Regarding the recruitment situation in Romania, I prefer not to even start the conversation.

Like everyone else, I'm not perfect, but I have some important diplomas at hand and a long list of skills, some of which are rare. These skills aren't visible on recruitment platforms, and in fact, appearance is so important that I can't even add a photo to my profile because it would automatically place me in categories I don't belong in.

How are we supposed to survive, and meet our basic needs? I don't dream of having a house, a car, or a family. I'm a realist. I'm talking about basic needs, a universal concept that remains unmet.

So, what happens to those excluded from the system? What happens if someone can't find a job? Do we survive from nowhere? Are we the same? Is support just a word? Are women forced to get married in order to survive? Are people willingly left to die by the dynamics of the system? Is it wise to have a tech city if the approach is contrary to human rights?

By observing the dynamics of job opportunities in Europe over a decade, and having more jobs than ever imagined, I've noticed exclusion, as a chain reaction, in European recruitment. Is there an inclusion strategy for the over-40s, or are we practically dead for this society?

That unpleasant moment of receiving a notification that an unauthorized entity has accessed your account on a recruitment platform.

The strangest thing is that, after completing my information on the platform more than 10 years ago, ever since it first appeared online, I've never gotten an interview, and in more than a decade, this is the only interaction I've had.

In short, I must request that different dynamics be implemented on the job search platform and in data protection. I assure you, it's not safe to have your information online and still try to apply.

My question is: By sharing our information, is there a real possibility of participating in the job offer dynamic, or are we simply exposing ourselves to greater risk?

Street art intervention on the Zoo wall, which otherwise was a long grey cement agglomeration parallel with the road and the Estació de França train station had some serious decadence moments and is now renowned.

The painting is oriented toward the road and railway. The imposing buffalo and the chimpanzee observe the transportation system.

The presence of the buffalo is familiar to me, as buffalo are still raised in mountainous areas for their tasty cheese and milk, and were also used for transportation in difficult terrain, as cattle are better adapted to rough roads than horses.

With the imposed imperial menu the buffalo became a product, just like cows. In Europe, the way we culturally relate to cattle is more than strange. Humans have hunted zimbru (bison) to extinction in some areas, proving that something is wrong with the food system.

If we settle for meat every day, we will eat all the animals to extinction and raid our neighborhoods to eat their animals and cause even more extinctions. As a group, humans are unreasonable. How fortunate that not all nations in the world include meat in their daily menus and that some animals have survived.

A toast to all the humble people out there who learned to cook with plants, and a warm greeting to the descendants of indigenous families who preserved the recipes.

The eye of the monkey observes, as a reminder that we are never alone; the space we inhabit is shared with an entire ecosystem that we modify and too often destroy. For animals, the reduction and even disappearance of their habitats so we can build more roads and ugly buildings is like a silent war, leading to extinction. Humans don't understand the animal's cry for help, and most haven't even tried, their minds clogged by the egoic impression of superiority.

Eating meat daily is not viable for the ecosystem, nor is each of us owning a car. Our unconscient mass consumption is like a plague. When group behavior reaches such damaging proportions, hunting to the point of exhaustion, it is grotesque, since we are capable of preventing harm, not just stupidly provoking it and looking elsewhere.

Shared wall, different styles, same protective stimulation. The ancestral gaze toward building infrastructure and transportation strategy. Humans could develop intelligent systems and begin to be inclusive of wildlife.

Gentlemen like free animals, in their habitat. We want to protect them, not eat them. There are many other things to eat and, in a moment, each doctor will tell you that you have to leave the beef.

What are the implications of fashion trends for the environment and human rights?

While billions of pairs of shoes are manufactured, and then thrown away the same year, creating an environmental problem, millions of children survive without shoes.

People in vulnerable situations around the world struggle with the footwear issue. Even though it's a basic necessity, footwear depends on income.

Reselling used shoes to immigrants and low-income areas makes a big business, yet, that´s not a real support. Some of them won´t even be able to buy the thrown-away and resold shoes, many of them are children, who are directly affected.

For a kid to participate in class without shoes it´s hardly possible.

For a person to present themselves in an urban area or an institution without shoes is questionable.

Without an income, shoes won´t be easy to obtain, even if they are semi-cheap and already used. From this point of view, recycling is extra important, and upcycling is imperative.

Would it be possible to make an international intervention chain of upcycling dedicated to specific vulnerable areas and include them all, to make sure the basic needs are fulfilled?

Correlating a creative group action by giving extra life to the objects, on the one hand, plus supporting someone´s development and the chance to live on the other would be great.

All in all, at this point a good plan for maintaining a clean environment and sustaining human rights can be done starting with recycling.

Recycle and Support!

Aujourd'hui, je vous fait une petite demande, d´une importance colossale:

Quelles sont les implications des tendances de la mode pour l'environnement et les droits humaines ?

Alors que des milliards de paires de chaussures sont fabriquées puis jetées la même année, créant un problème environnemental, des millions d'enfants survivent sans chaussures.

Entering personal space uninvited, reframing shared space, and mistakenly establishing rules for civilized interaction. Extremism is a group effect based on herd stimulation, fueled by old, unresolved issues, and formed by easy-to-manipulate people.

What makes people easy to manipulate?

For the past five years, media disinformation and aggressive campaigns have predominated online and on television and have spread. For those reading books, the phenomenon could have been anticipated starting with the publishing dynamics and preferences in the last decades. The switch to disinformation has facilitated extremist grooming and gathering. As a result, the shared information space, which most of us use for information, entertainment, or interaction, has been used by extremist groups as a channel for manipulation.

All group dynamics, even personal ones, are recorded online. Every advertising campaign is paid for. Every extremist protest platform is aware of the monster forming under its nose and charges its fees. An ordinary citizen cannot afford these fees. Therefore, the open shared space appears unopened and shared only by a large segment of the population, usually fascist, toward a small segment, through the cult of personality. This is another interesting media ingredient for ensuring mass manipulation.

But extremism manifests itself, as can be observed, in poor areas and in certain specific international hubs. The poor areas are easier to influence since there is a lack of access, insufficient or absent transportation, and a lack of job opportunities. In the rural areas, where is hard to get, a person in a suit, with a nice car, sharing pens, plastic accessories, and maybe some snacks while screaming a slogan and wearing a portrait is quite usual and this is how they find the voters, people who are already in a sort of vulnerable position, isolated.

Thus, extremism develops both based on long-standing beliefs about unmet basic needs and suffering and is driven by the international corporate hub. Extremism is a provoked effect of inequality, which manifests itself at the group level with considerable intensity and poses a danger of species extinction and human genocide. Those who use extremist impulses and group manipulation must be stopped.

Whether it manifests itself collectively or individually, extremism is a serious mental health problem with long-lasting, ripple-like social consequences that we should learn to avoid and definitively stop it, stop the extremist chain development, not just observe it and take notes for decades...

Wishing death to others or comparing oneself to another human being by considering oneself superior is unacceptable in our world. We have laws to address this and inclusive educative approaches to guarantee the right to equality.

Today, we can observe a fine line between development and self-destruction. Violations of the rights of others, perpetual injustice, and extremism will always lead to social rejection and expulsion.

There is an international core of atrocities, as war is fueled to create businesses. Perhaps we should stand together, affirm that the patterns of crime are not what we want, that the increase in child murder and abuse is unacceptable, and put an end to conflict and this abominable war!

Instead, we are encouraged to applaud the less-than-nothings who have had to pay serious money to establish themselves, and whose titles, and wealth are based on the domination of social space—in other words, on trading with the poor. What should be inclusion projects, products, and technologies based and made for human rights, are transformed into incredible profits. As a result, vulnerability increases, inequality breeds discontent, lack of work, and stability breeds vulnerability, and this is how conflicts are born and maintained.

There is no true monster, no alien unless you cover your hands in blood and become one.

En Europe, nous avons construit notre identité en nous influençant les uns les autres, d'un petit village à l'autre.

Au fil du temps, la langue a évolué, chaque pays essayant de se développer séparément, selon un système codifié en interne, et cultivant les malentendus avec ses cousins, frères et sœurs… bref, la famille lexicale.

On les appelle souvent langues étrangères, mais en réalité, la même chose écrite en latin commun sera prononcée différemment, donnant l'impression qu'il s'agit d'une langue différente.

La communication ne devient problématique que si la perspective n'est pas interculturelle et que quelqu'un tente, sans qu'on sache exactement pourquoi, d'imposer une seule variante culturelle.

Expressions related to the Red Riding Hood tale appear everywhere, and even if they have the same meaning, the conceptual perception might vary.

Saliendo de la boca del lobo—According to the Spanish understanding of the concept, we use this saying when someone exposes themselves to danger, often unwittingly. We also use it to say that a person has fallen into a trap or will face a problem without realizing it.

Spanish meaning is concentrated on the trap than on the solution and this is just a comparative linguistics observation, not at all a critique.

In Romanian, on the other hand, the same expression has a different approach.

A scăpa (ca) din gura lupului - To escape (as) from the mouth of the wolf = to save oneself from a very difficult situation, a synonym for To escape as through the eyes of a needle.

In Italian, in Bocca al Lupo it´s a good luck wish used in the performance world. Break a leg! Kind of reminds the masked people of the mountains, those wearing wolf skin called Haiduci.

The world is in a difficult situation, conflictual. In boca al lupo, Riding Hood all grown up and violet!

La mirada de una elfa, pintada cerca de uno de los últimos árboles en pie del supuesto jardín. Arquitectura que cambia rápidamente y donde hace poco había sombra y zonas verdes, ahora hay cemento con algunos árboles de decoración.

Se pierde por diseño, y más aún, por la sequía. 60% de los árboles que admirábamos hace poco, no están mas en la ciudad, debido a la sequía. Muchos de ellos eran gigantes que se adaptaron por décadas a las exigencias urbanas.

Temperaturas caniculares son cada vez más duras y frecuentes. Para un cuerpo con poca melanina, el solo hecho de pasar por una plaza abierta significa que la piel se quema. Aire irrespirable y no hay sombra.

¿Qué vida es esa sin árboles?
