Il Fatto Quotidiano: Rosalia: “Il mio uomo ideale? Quello gay”. Il botta e risposta con l’intervistatrice: “Allora siamo in due”

Qual è l’uomo ideale per Rosalía? La risposta della popstar catalana è diretta e inaspettata: “L’uomo gay”. La rivelazione è arrivata durante una conversazione registrata a Buenos Aires con la nota scrittrice argentina Mariana Enríquez, parte di un progetto di Spotify ideato per raccontare al pubblico latinoamericano il processo creativo e le ispirazioni intime degli artisti. Una confessione accolta con divertita complicità dalla stessa intervistatrice, che ha subito replicato: “Beh, allora siamo in due”. Partendo da questa battuta, l’intervista si è trasformata in un’analisi lucida e fattuale della visione sentimentale dell’artista, toccando i temi dell’attrazione, della libertà sessuale e del senso profondo dell’impegno.
Spostando il focus su ciò che la colpisce nelle donne, Rosalía ha sottolineato come trovi anacronistico tracciare una linea di demarcazione netta tra i sessi quando si parla di interesse romantico o fisico. “È un po’ bizzarro che si separino le due cose”, ha riflettuto la cantante, spiegando il suo approccio universale alle relazioni. “La prima cosa che mi viene in mente è: qual è la qualità che spicca di più o che cattura la tua attenzione in qualsiasi persona?”. Ribaltando poi la domanda alla scrittrice argentina, Enríquez ha indicato nel “senso dell’umorismo” la caratteristica per lei fondamentale in una donna.

Rosalia: “My ideal man? A gay man.” The back-and-forth with the interviewer: “So, that’s two of us.”

What is Rosalía’s ideal man? The popstar’s Catalan answer is direct and unexpected: “A gay man.” The revelation came during a recorded conversation in Buenos Aires with renowned Argentine writer Mariana Enríquez, part of a Spotify project designed to tell the Latin American public about the creative process and intimate inspirations of artists. A confession met with amused complicity from the interviewer herself, who immediately retorted: “Well, then we’re two.” Starting from this joke, the interview transformed into a lucid and factual analysis of the artist’s sentimental vision, touching on the themes of attraction, sexual freedom, and the deep sense of commitment.

Shifting the focus to what impresses her in women, Rosalía emphasized how she finds it anachronistic to draw a clear line between the sexes when it comes to romantic or physical interest. “It’s a bit bizarre that the two things are separated,” reflected the singer, explaining her universal approach to relationships. “The first thing that comes to mind is: what is the quality that stands out the most or that captures your attention in any person?”

Reversing the question to the Argentine writer, Enríquez indicated that “a sense of humor” was the fundamental characteristic in a woman for her.

#Urbánika’s #SolarPunk Bus Tour and Video Course on the #Commons

By David Bollier, July 24, 2024

Excerpt: "The course is free to access, and the bus was developed, thanks to donations by thousands of people. The course is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 license, so that it can be reproduced, remixed, and shared at no cost. In the notes section underneath each video, there are links to resources, weblinks, a self-test review of the content, and an invitation to apply one’s knowledge of commons to the real world. Schools are invited to use the videos in their teaching about commons. Social-action groups may find the videos useful in reflecting on their own organizational dynamics.

"The #PostCapitalism and the Commons video series is a follow-up to a lighter series of educational videos produced by Urbánika two years ago. This series, '#Commoning101 – Learning Pills,' (with #Spanish subtitles), is a series of amusing virtual-reality animations that introduce the commons to viewers in short gulps. The animations feature a space alien, Kin, who engages with an avatar version of me (looking twenty years younger!) in conversations about commons.

"Urbánika plans to use the videos – especially the first series, 'PostCapitalism and the Commons' – as part of an educational bus tour that will soon travel to twenty cities in seven #LatinAmerican countries.

"For this, the group has crowdfunded funds to create a state-of-the-art, climate-friendly 'SolarPunk bus.' This full-size bus has many eco-features as a rain water harvesting system, wind turbine, a rooftop biofilter (to treat gray water to make it drinkable), and dry toilet. There is a black soldier fly #biodigester for organic waste and a vertical garden for food production, among other tech features. The bus will function as a mobile school and home throughout the course of the tour, which aims to 'facilitate the emergence of neighborhoods as urban commons.' It will also encourage the use of 'open source Web 3.0 tech that can help people break free from hierarchical dependencies of the government and the markets.' "

Colombian President #GustavoPetro Says Venezuela Oil ‘At Heart’ of Trump Aggression

“He’s not thinking about the democratization of Venezuela, let alone the narco-trafficking,” said the #LatinAmerican leader. “In general, all of the wars of this century had to do with #oil.”

“What lies behind this,” said #Petro, “is the same thing behind the war in Ukraine... #petroleum,” noting the size and quality of #Venezuela’s reserves. “In general, all of the wars of this century had to do with oil.”

If #Trump were to get the upper hand, Petro suggested, the US would get Venezuela’s oil “almost for free,” predicting that—“based on the evidence so far”—that the #US will go to war over the resources.

...adding that Venezuela is not considered a major drug producer or transit point for most #narcotics headed to the US.
