Se queda uno pasmado de oír ciertas opiniones sobre el caso "Manada". Por lo visto los implicados han pedido que se respete su privacidad hasta que concluya el juicio, que no se publiquen sus nombres ni sus imágenes.

Victim versus Predator #MeToo #YesAllWomen
One is stunned to hear certain opinions about the "Manada" rape case.(Pamplona, Navarre, July 2016). Apparently, the accused have asked that their privacy be respected until the trial ends, that their names and images are not published. I wonder if they thought about that when they planned the rape of a girl and posted... Continue Reading →
Father’s Pride
My father loved me so much that he had me on a pedestal. If I was uncomfortable with this, I was a bad daughter because who would not want to be loved so much that you were raised by virtue of that love above the ordinariness of humanity? There was no man good enough for... Continue Reading →
Quote Challenge – Day3: Tribute to Adi Da
Wonderful piece by the inspirational Marisse Lee of http://www.harping by a pixie com.WordPress.com

Hey, there were oranges and pears and papaya in that paradise too…why do they have to mess with the apples?!?
Ooopppsssss…no, Adam and Eve are not my topic. Pardon, I am an old pixie and having trouble with the onset of dementia.

A Day in Dementia
You say goodbye a little each day. You bear with tantrums as you try to understand their world. You let yourself down every day and every day you swear to never again forget that she doesn't remember, that she doesn't know. You surprise yourself with tears of frustration because you cannot give more,... Continue Reading →

The Dictatorship of the Sheeple
On Friday, 27th. October, 2017, the Catalonian government proclaimed its independence from Spain. This is not the first time it has happened. In fact, it is the fourth, after the 17th January 1641, 14th April, 1931 and October 6th, 1934. If you believe the Spanish media, this is a recent movement, caused by the... Continue Reading →
