Los estudiantes universitarios no somos victimas del paro, somos victimas del incumplimiento de la Ley de Financiamiento Universitario

esta mina te deja sin presupuesto universitario

Esta Facultad que tantos se llenan la boca hablando de cuan prestigiosa es deberia ser la primera linea en defensa del financiamiento universitario y en exigir el cumplimiento de la ley. Para la foto en la marcha estan todos, pero el resto del año nadie dice nada.

En la Facultad de Derecho de la UBA te hacen ir a cursar y rendir en estas condiciones porque no adhieren al paro universitario que busca hacer cumplir la Ley De Financiamiento Universitario que el gobierno no deja de evadir mientras los docentes no llegan a fin de mes.

Añado que lo que sucede en FDUBA no es ni un decimo de grave que lo que sucede en otras facultades de una Nacion que tenia como politica de ESTADO el orgullo universitario y el altisimo nivel academico. Hoy las facultades se incendian, no calefaccionan, cierran y deben salarios.

@matiasacostaa_ Lo cual no quita que en FDUBA se viva un estado de inconsciencia absoluto sobre la realidad financiera de las universidades a nivel federal y que deberia ser la primera en ponerse al frente de la causa. Pero bueno cada uno ve lo que quiere ver.

@valenrizza fueron 30m fantasma

@topogigioarg Insisto en que el reclamo se centra en el hecho de que esta facultad no adhiere al paro como debería hacer mientras el resto de facultades y universidades viven un estado desolador. La UNMDP no tiene calefaccion, en Psicologia y Medicina UBA no hay donde sentarse…

@valenrizza 10minutos después >>>> volvió la luz. Jajajaja

@mila_allend Asumo que un poco se debe a que la facultad vive una realidad inmensanente distinta por diversos factores que el resto. El problema es que mientras FDUBA vive en esta nube, en psicologia y medicina los estudiantes tienen que escuchar una clase desde el pasillo

@valenrizza A mí lo que me parte al medio es que debería ser la primera en poner el grito en el cielo ante el incumplimiento de una ley. Y casi que hacen lo imposible para que no vayas a la marcha tampoco: el 12 tengo un parcial. Ayer pregunté y me miraron con cara de que había enloquecido.

every election in South America:

La @ferialibro_ba cumple 50 años, los mismos q el golpe de estado genocida q empezó en 1976. Y todavía se alojan libros en el "pabellón Martinez de Hoz". Memoria completa es que digan dónde están, también la sociedad rural

Kanye West said this in 2022 on @lexfridman: Lex: "What do you hope your legacy is?" Ye: "To be forgotten. There's ego in memory. Who designed the sidewalk? Who designed the water fountain? Who designed the stop sign? Who designed the stop light? These things are so ubiquitous that the person that designed them is forgotten. If it's a good idea, it's a God idea."

Lo desalojan solo, viejito, sin fuerzas y sin plata. No puede pagar el alquiler porque tampoco le alcanza para comer. Un abuelo tirado a la calle en silencio, mientras muchos miran para otro lado. Esta Argentina está naturalizando una crueldad que debería avergonzarnos.

“I would heal children”. Why we loved and still love Pope Francis.

Pope Francis died a year ago today.  I would like to share one memory, which I think reveals something of what made him such a holy man. In May of 2024, after it was reported that Pope had made some negative remarks about gay priests and used an Italian slur (“frociaggine”) in a meeting with Italian bishops, there was a firestorm of reaction. Even I wondered: How could this be? We had had several conversations and notes back and forth about LGBTQ issues. It seemed so out of character. A few weeks later I was scheduled to be in Rome after helping to arrange a papal audience for a group of professional comedians. The pope invited me to see him, along with two friends who served as translators. I asked a cardinal friend how I could possibly bring up something so difficult—the question of gay priests and his use of language. My friend said, “Just say, ‘Holy Father, these things have been much in the news. What thoughts do you have?’” The very first thing Francis said, as if he had been waiting to say it, was that he knew many holy, faithful and celibate gay priests and seminarians. When I suggested that it might help to say so publicly, he said, “Oh, but I think I have. And in any event, you can say that!” I wanted to make sure I understood him, so said, “So you’re saying I can say that you know many holy, faithful and celibate gay priests and seminarians?” He shrugged his shoulders and said, “Of course. Because I do!”  My friends also told him that he shouldn’t have used that slur.  He nodded sadly, and said, “Yes, yes, you’re right.” For the next hour or so, we discussed the word he used, before moving on to other more general topics: the U.S. church, the political scene, and so on. It was a relaxed and friendly conversation, but initially about a tough topic. A few days later, I saw him at the comedians’ audience, when he gave a beautiful reflection on humor in the Sala Clementina. When everyone lined up to shake his hand, I lingered in the back, since I had just seen him. But then several Vatican officials said, “Father, go ahead!”  When I reached his chair, he laughed and said, “Ah, so now you’re a famous American comedian!” I laughed and started to move away, knowing he was probably busy and tired. But he pulled me back insistently. Then the pope said, “Thank you for our meeting the other day. It was helpful for me. I really needed to hear that.” He smiled and then gave me a thumbs up. (Amazingly, a friend sent me video of this very interchange, linked here, where you can see what’s happening.) I thought: Who does this? Who thanks someone for a difficult meeting? Who thanks someone for being challenged? The answer: a person who is open to the Holy Spirit. A person who is not afraid to listen. A person who is truly humble. Something like that doesn’t make you a holy person or a saint on its own, but it’s an important part of holiness.  May this holy man rest in peace.

Hace un año que falleció el papa Francisco. Si no conocen esta anécdota, no se la pierdan. Mucho más que una anécdota, realmente. Maravilloso.
