En este episodio os cuento mis impresiones después de ver la nueva película de Spider-Man protagonizada por Tom Holland, esta vez en 3D. La experiencia me ha dejado sensaciones encontradas: por un lado, la película me ha parecido espectacular, pero el 3D no me ha convencido. Las gafas me resultaron algo incómodas y creo que oscurecen bastante la imagen, haciendo que se pierda parte de la calidad visual.También hablo de la historia, que me ha parecido muy emotiva y, en algunos momentos, bastante triste. Ver cómo el protagonista ya no es recordado por las personas que más quiere le da un toque muy diferente a la saga.Después del cine tocó cena en Foster's Hollywood con mis hijos, aunque después de haberse puesto las botas con los nachos con queso en el cine apenas tenían hambre. Al final terminé pidiendo una pechuga que acabó siendo la comida del día siguiente.Un episodio tranquilo, grabado mientras doy un paseo, compartiendo una opinión sincera sobre la película y alguna anécdota de la tarde.✅ Suscríbete al canal:⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@laopiniondemarm⁠⁠

Vivimos en una época en la que parece que sólo existen dos opciones: pensar que no pasa absolutamente nada o creer que estamos al borde del desastre. Pero ¿y si la realidad fuera mucho más compleja?En este episodio parto de la película Mientras dure la guerra, de Alejandro Amenábar, para reflexionar sobre cómo reaccionamos ante los problemas cuando nos dejamos llevar por el miedo o por la ingenuidad.Hablo de lo ocurrido en Ceuta, del papel de los medios de comunicación, de las redes sociales y de la importancia de mantener la calma sin dejar de estar atentos. Porque comprender una situación no significa justificarla, igual que reconocer un problema no implica responder desde el odio.Quizá el verdadero desafío sea encontrar ese difícil equilibrio entre el buenismo y el alarmismo.

Hoy quiero empezar este episodio con una pregunta que puede parecer sencilla, pero que da mucho que pensar:Si tuvieras que abandonar tu casa en solo 15 minutos… ¿qué te llevarías?Estos días, muy cerca de donde vivo, cientos de personas han tenido que hacer precisamente eso debido a los incendios forestales. Ver el cielo cubierto de humo, escuchar las noticias sobre las evacuaciones y pensar que cualquiera podría verse en esa situación hace que nos planteemos qué es realmente importante en nuestra vida.Después cambio completamente de tema para hablar de una de las películas que más esperaba este año: La Odisea, de Christopher Nolan. Una producción espectacular, con un reparto lleno de grandes actores y una historia inspirada en la obra clásica de Homero que, personalmente, me ha gustado mucho.Os cuento mis impresiones, sin hacer spoilers importantes, y también os adelanto que la próxima semana iré a ver la nueva película de Spider-Man, de la que también hablaremos en un nuevo episodio.

Sony parece estar apostando cada vez más por el formato digital, y eso ha reabierto un debate muy interesante: ¿realmente poseemos lo que compramos cuando todo depende de un servidor?En este episodio reflexiono sobre cómo ha cambiado nuestra forma de consumir música, películas y videojuegos. Para quienes crecimos con el VHS, el DVD, el CD o el Blu-ray, tener una copia física significaba que era nuestra. Sin embargo, las nuevas generaciones han nacido con Spotify, Netflix y las compras digitales, y para muchos de ellos el formato físico simplemente ha dejado de tener importancia.También hablo de otro aspecto que creo que estamos perdiendo: el valor de las experiencias auténticas. No es lo mismo grabar un disco con músicos tocando juntos que producirlo todo de forma digital. Del mismo modo, una réplica de la Torre Eiffel nunca será la experiencia de verla en París, y una ciudad llena de rascacielos no transmite necesariamente la esencia de Nueva York.¿Estamos ganando comodidad a costa de perder autenticidad? Esa es la reflexión que comparto hoy.

Vivimos rodeados de frases como: “Los hombres siempre buscan lo mismo” o “Una amistad entre un hombre y una mujer nunca funciona”. Pero… ¿de verdad podemos convertir nuestras experiencias personales en una verdad universal?En este episodio de La Opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre cómo tendemos a generalizar nuestras experiencias y a pensar que lo que ocurre en nuestro entorno sucede en todo el mundo. Hablamos de la influencia de la cultura, de las diferencias entre países, de las amistades auténticas entre hombres y mujeres y de por qué nos cuesta tanto aceptar que dos personas puedan quererse sin necesidad de convertirse en pareja.También comparto mi experiencia personal, la importancia de la confianza, el respeto y la ausencia de dobles intenciones, además de algunos ejemplos que invitan a reflexionar sobre cómo entendemos las relaciones humanas.Porque quizá el verdadero problema no sea si un hombre y una mujer pueden ser amigos.Quizá el problema sea que seguimos empeñados en etiquetar todas las relaciones.

¿Y si el verdadero éxito no fuera tener millones, un Ferrari o millones de seguidores?En este episodio de La opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre una idea que lleva días rondándome la cabeza: el miedo al éxito. Pero no al éxito en sí, sino al precio que muchas veces parece que hay que pagar para alcanzarlo.Hablo de la comparación constante con otras personas, de los empresarios de éxito, de los creadores de contenido, de las modas que seguimos sin cuestionarlas y de cómo Internet nos hace pensar que siempre vamos por detrás de alguien.También comparto por qué, después de darle muchas vueltas, creo que quizá el éxito ya estaba delante de mí: una familia maravillosa, tiempo con mis hijos, una vida tranquila y la posibilidad de disfrutar de las pequeñas cosas.¿Y tú? ¿Estás persiguiendo tu propia definición de éxito o la que otros han construido para ti?Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm comparto una reflexión que llevo tiempo dándole vueltas: ¿hasta qué punto podemos confiar en los números que nos muestran nuestros dispositivos?Todo empezó observando algo aparentemente simple. En Movistar Plus, al avanzar 15 segundos en un programa, muchas veces no avanzaba exactamente 15 segundos. Lo mismo ocurre con las baterías de los teléfonos, los relojes inteligentes, los velocímetros de los coches o incluso algunos aparatos digitales para medir nuestra salud.Cada vez tengo más la sensación de que muchos de los datos digitales que vemos a diario son aproximaciones que aceptamos como si fueran exactas.También hablo de mi experiencia con relojes inteligentes y pulseras de actividad. Aunque me parecen herramientas muy útiles, he llegado a preguntarme si realmente me ayudan o si terminan ocupando parte de mi tiempo y atención.Y para terminar, reflexiono sobre cómo quiero utilizar la inteligencia artificial en mi día a día. No solo para responder preguntas, sino para automatizar tareas y hacer que la tecnología trabaje para mí, y no al revés.Un episodio tranquilo, reflexivo y lleno de observaciones cotidianas sobre la tecnología que utilizamos cada día.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

En este episodio de La Opinión de Marm os hablo de dos películas que he visto recientemente y que me han dejado pensando bastante.Por un lado, comento "En algún lugar de la memoria", disponible en Netflix, una película interesante que toca temas relacionados con los recuerdos, la identidad y la forma en que interpretamos nuestro pasado.También os cuento mi experiencia viendo en el cine "El día de la revelación", la nueva película de Steven Spielberg, compartiendo mis impresiones y lo que me ha parecido esta propuesta del director.Pero el tema principal del episodio termina siendo algo mucho más personal. Mientras investigaba sobre el TDAH para entender mejor algunas cosas relacionadas con mi hijo, me encontré con una sorpresa inesperada: muchos de los síntomas y comportamientos que estaba leyendo parecían describirme a mí mismo.Reflexiono sobre cómo es descubrir algo así con 47 años, las dudas que surgen, las señales que quizás siempre estuvieron ahí y cómo este posible TDAH podría explicar muchas situaciones de mi vida.Un episodio de cine, reflexiones personales y uno de esos temas que te hacen mirar hacia atrás y entender algunas cosas de una manera diferente.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

La moda es mucho más que tendencias, grandes pasarelas y atractivos diseños de las grandes firmas. Por encima de todo ello está el territorio, que aporta las materias primas indispensables, los saberes ancestrales y las manos sabias de los artesanos. Esta puesta en valor del entorno, y su necesaria conservación, es el fundamento de multitud de propuestas de moda sostenible. Como Humana Ecoprint, el proyecto de Mar Márquez, también conocida como Mar Humane. Humana Ecoprint es un proyecto de diseño textil ecológico basado en impresión botánica, tintes naturales y procesos creativos de bajo impacto. Trabaja principalmente con hojas, flores, cortezas, fibras y pigmentos, materiales que regala la propia tierra de la Sierra de Aracena, en Huelva. En esta propuesta se cruzan la naturaleza, la artesanía y la sostenibilidad para dar una nueva vida, y sentido, a la creación textil. Sobre todo ello hemos charlado en Noticias Positivas con Mar, que además está preparando estos días EMERGE, un encuentro de moda sostenible que se celebrará esta misma semana, el jueves 11 y el viernes 12 de junio en el Teatro Sierra de Aracena. El evento está organizado por la Diputación de Huelva, cuenta con la colaboración del Ayuntamiento de Araena y además está promovido por Mar Humanae. Ya está confirmada la presencia de referentes de la moda sostenible y circular como Gema Gómez, fundadora de Slow Fashion Next; Paloma García, fundadora de The Circular Project; Charlotte Houman, cofundadora de Extremerinas; Sylvia Calvo, experta en economía circular; Maitane Roldán, representante de Fashion Revolution Spain en Andalucía; y proyectos como Koopera, Traperos de Emaús Huelva, A Regenerar, Canaturex, Materia Botánica o Lanamerina. El objetivo no es solo hablar de moda sostenible, sino impulsar nuevos modelso y formas de entender la industria textil que emergan, se apoyen y defiendan el territorio. Y si quieres saber más, aquí tienes la entrevista con Mar.

En este nuevo episodio de La opinión de Marm salgo a dar un paseo y termino reflexionando sobre esas pequeñas contradicciones de la vida cotidiana.Empiezo contando la odisea que he vivido buscando el arnés perfecto para el perro y cómo una simple devolución acabó convirtiéndose en una auténtica aventura burocrática entre tickets digitales, tickets en papel, tarjetas físicas y normas que parecen sacadas de otra época. ¿No se suponía que la tecnología iba a simplificarnos la vida?También hablo de algo que me ronda la cabeza desde hace tiempo: tener una piscina propia. La idea suena fantástica hasta que empiezas a pensar en el mantenimiento, los productos, la limpieza y todo el trabajo que hay detrás. Lo mismo me ocurre con la barbacoa: disfrutarla está genial, pero limpiarla ya es otra historia.Además, comento algunas de las series que he estado viendo últimamente, entre ellas “Alguien tiene que morir”, una historia sobre amistad, reencuentros y cómo cambian las personas con el paso del tiempo. También doy mi opinión sobre The Boys y Berlín.Un episodio sobre comodidad, tecnología, mantenimiento y esas cosas que parecen maravillosas… hasta que te toca encargarte de ellas.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm hablo sobre cómo cada vez detecto más a la gente que intenta convencerte utilizando miedo.Política, seguros, ventas, religión, marketing, pisos, sofás, negocios… parece que hoy en día todo funciona igual:“Cuidado que viene esto…”“Imagínate que pasa aquello…”“Como no hagas esto estás perdido…”Y cuanto más me intentan meter miedo, más desconfío.Reflexiono sobre cómo muchas veces ya no nos venden propuestas, soluciones o beneficios… sino ansiedad, urgencia y miedo constante.También hablo de la política andaluza, de los discursos alarmistas, de las estrategias para manipular emocionalmente y de cómo he aprendido a alejarme de todo eso.Porque una cosa es advertir de un problema… y otra muy distinta vivir intentando asustar a la gente para moverla.

En este episodio de “La opinión de Marm” os cuento mi primera experiencia en el gimnasio de boxeo al que me he apuntado… y la verdad es que he salido bastante sorprendido

En este episodio corto de La opinión de Marm hablo sobre la película “Los domingos”, ganadora de 5 premios Goya.Una historia que gira en torno a una familia marcada por la pérdida, donde una de las hijas decide dar un paso que lo cambia todo: quiere entrar en un convento.A partir de ahí, aparece el conflicto real…¿Es una decisión propia o alguien le está “comiendo la cabeza”?Reflexiono sobre:La presión familiarLas decisiones personalesLa fe y la libertadY cómo muchas veces juzgamos sin darnos cuenta de que nosotros también intentamos influir en los demásUna película con mucho diálogo, que no es para todo el mundo, pero que te hace pensar si la ves sin prejuicios.Y tú…

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre algo que veo constantemente: cómo muchas veces confundimos conceptos y convertimos ideas en dogmas.Hablamos de consumismo, capitalismo y comunismo, tres palabras que la gente suele mezclar como si significaran lo mismo. ¿Ser capitalista significa tener que consumir sin parar? ¿Ser comunista significa que no puedes tener un iPhone o vivir bien? La realidad es mucho más compleja.También reflexiono sobre cómo en la vida real los sistemas nunca son puros. Dentro de un país capitalista puede haber políticas muy sociales, y dentro de gobiernos de izquierda puede haber dinámicas de mercado. La política real es mucho más híbrida de lo que pensamos.Y llevo esta reflexión también al terreno religioso. Muchas veces se citan frases de la Biblia como si fueran reglas literales para el mundo actual, olvidando que muchos textos se escribieron hace más de 2000 años para contextos muy concretos. Lo mismo ocurre cuando se interpretan de forma rígida las ideas de Karl Marx.Porque quizá el problema no es la ideología, ni la religión, ni los sistemas… sino cuando dejamos de pensar y empezamos a repetir ideas sin adaptarlas al mundo en el que vivimos.Un episodio para reflexionar sobre cómo usamos las ideas, las etiquetas y las creencias en pleno siglo XXI.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

Intervention de Soeur Carol le dimanche 22 février dans le cadre du cycle ramadan 2026 Afin de vivifier le mois de Ramadan 2026 / 1447 de l'Hégire, Conscience Soufie reprend la thématique générale du Coran choisie en 2025, tant les enseignements et les échanges ont été féconds. Cette année, notre programmation s'est ouverte encore plus largement aux femmes. Une manière de prolonger un précédent cycle sur Les femmes soufies et la sainteté au féminin ! Ainsi, semaine après semaine, des femmes d'exception nous feront l'honneur de nous partager leurs recherches et leurs connaissances, leurs inspirations et leurs dévoilements. Nous leur exprimons toute notre gratitude. Le Coran est une guidance inépuisable, un Livre qui se révèle à tout instant à chacun. Le Coran, dans la sourate Al-Rahman, verset 29, nous dit : ﴾ يَسْأَلُهُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ ﴿ Ceux qui sont dans les cieux et la terre L'implorent. À chaque instant, Il est à l'œuvre. En vous souhaitant à tous un mois de Ramadan béni et fructueux, à la saveur renouvelée à chaque instant ! ! رمضان مبارك كريم Iqra' : appel ou rappel ? En ce début du mois béni de Ramadan où nous sommes invités à relire le Coran dans son entier, penchons-nous sur le premier mot révélé, Iqra'. Quelle signification revêt cet appel liminaire de Dieu au Prophète ﷺ et à tout homme ? Quelles en sont les dimensions spirituelles et existentielles ? Afin de tenter de répondre à ces questions, nous prendrons pour guide le Coran. Sœur Carol fait partie de la Communauté monastique al-Khalil de Deir Mar Moussa en Syrie, dont la vocation est de bâtir des ponts et de promouvoir la fraternité entre musulmans et chrétiens. Amoureuse de l'Islam, elle témoigne d'une double appartenance spirituelle et du cœur aux traditions chrétienne et musulmane. Elle est docteure en islamologie et a fait sa thèse sur L'appel de Dieu à l'homme dans le Coran Pour plus d'information visitez notre site: https://consciencesoufie.com/

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm hablo claro sobre algo que tengo muy dentro: no quiero ser famoso.Mientras termino de escribir mi libro —un libro sobre mi propia vida— me asalta una duda sincera: ¿a quién le interesa realmente mi historia? Vivimos en un mundo donde parece que todo tiene que solucionar un problema, generar impacto inmediato o acumular miles de likes para tener valor.Y yo no quiero eso.No quiero seguidores por ego.No quiero fotos.No quiero aplausos.No tengo redes sociales. No estoy en Instagram, ni en TikTok, ni en Twitter. Solo mantengo YouTube y el podcast porque mi intención no es ser conocido… es ganarme la vida con mi trabajo. Con mi visión sobre la web. Con lo que sé hacer. Sin depender del aplauso.También reflexiono sobre una conversación muy interesante entre Sergio Fernández y Uri Sabat, y sobre el último libro de Sergio, Los 10 poderes para diseñar tu vida, que habla precisamente de diseñar tu vida con conciencia y propósito.Si quieres escuchar la conversación completa entre Uri Sabat y Sergio Fernández, aquí la tienes:

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre el ruido constante que nos rodea… y el que llevamos dentro.He tomado decisiones drásticas: fuera notificaciones, modo trabajo ampliado de 8 a 15, bloqueo del 90% de las apps en ese horario y desinstalación de Facebook e Instagram del móvil. Necesitaba recuperar el control.También hablo de las recomendaciones de YouTube, de cómo basta ver un vídeo por casualidad para que el algoritmo decida que eso es ahora tu nueva personalidad. Y de cómo muchas veces lo que nos muestran no tiene nada que ver con lo que realmente nos interesa.Comparto además estos días raros de lluvia, esa tristeza que aparece sin avisar, y ese impulso momentáneo de ir al psicólogo simplemente a desahogarme… aunque luego la sensación cambiara.Un episodio íntimo, sincero y sin filtros.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm te cuento una historia sencilla, pero muy reveladora: la compra de un reloj.Desde el Viceroy “Pepsi” que me encantaba pero no me decidí a comprar, pasando por un Maserati que se me iba de precio, hasta llegar a un Casio “Royal” que me conquistó por completo.Pero el episodio no va solo de relojes.Va de consumo consciente, de lo que nos cuesta gastarnos dinero en nosotros mismos, de la diferencia entre comprar en una gran superficie o en una tienda de barrio, del trato personal, del valor de pagar en efectivo y de saber exactamente a quién le llega tu dinero.También hablo de comprar relojes a mis hijos, de cómo entienden (o no) algo tan básico como mirar la hora sin una pantalla, y de cómo pequeños gestos dicen mucho más de nosotros de lo que creemos.Un episodio tranquilo, reflexivo y muy del día a día, de esos que no van de dar lecciones, sino de compartir pensamientos en voz alta.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

He ido al cine a ver Avatar 3 y, nada más salir de la sala, tenía claras varias sensaciones que necesitaba compartir.En este episodio de La opinión de Marm hablo de mis primeras impresiones sin spoilers: la experiencia en el cine, el ritmo de la película, lo que funciona, lo que me deja más frío y si realmente merece la pena verla en pantalla grande.No es una crítica técnica ni un análisis al detalle, sino una reflexión honesta desde el asiento del cine, comparándola con las anteriores y pensando también en lo que buscamos hoy cuando vamos a ver una película así.Si ya la has visto, seguramente te reconozcas en alguna sensación.

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre la importancia de aprender a soltar lo que no compensa, tanto en lo personal como en lo profesional.Hablo de cine nostálgico y de dos películas que he vuelto a ver y que, sin ser nuevas, me han transmitido mucha paz y tranquilidad: Notting Hill y Ghost. Películas que reconfortan y que se disfrutan desde otro lugar, sin prisas.También comparto una reflexión muy sencilla: no saber qué pedir para Reyes o Papá Noel cuando te das cuenta de que, materialmente, ya tienes casi todo lo que necesitas. A veces no pedir nada también es una forma de estar en paz.Y cierro el episodio hablando de trabajo y de clientes que no compensa mantener: los que pagan tarde, mal o nunca, y que además exigen más de lo que dan. Aprender a decir hasta aquí también es cuidarse.Un episodio tranquilo, honesto y para escuchar con calma.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm te cuento el día completo que he tenido: mi coche sigue en el taller por la caja de cambios, me dejan un coche una amiga… y también termina roto en plena carretera. Entre líos de embragues, pruebas y recogidas inesperadas, cierro el día cambiando finalmente mi seguro de salud a Sanitas, que me ofrece mejor cobertura gracias al acuerdo con Santa Lucía.Y, por si fuera poco, remato la jornada con un menú del header de un cliente que decide desconfigurarse sin motivo aparente.

Í gær hélt Félagsráðgjafafélag Íslands áhugavert málþing um fjölmenningarfélagsráðgjöf – þar voru haldin fjölmörg áhugaverð erindi en Samfélagið var á staðnum og ræddi við nokkur þeirra sem stigu á stokk. Sema Erla Serdaroglu, aðjúnkt í tómstunda- og félagsmálafræði á Menntavísindasviði Háskóla Íslands, sagði þar frá nýjum rannsóknum um menningarfordóma og við ræðum þær við hana. Anna Katarzyna Wozniczka, verkefnastjóri í málefnum flóttafólks í Árborg, og Lena Rut Guðmundsdóttir, sérfræðingur í málefnum flóttafólks í Árborg, settust líka niður með okkur til að ræða þróunarverkefnið „Vitundarvakning um málefni flóttafólks í nærsamfélagi“ í Sveitarfélaginu Árborg. Þorgerður María Þorbjarnardóttir formaður Landverndar og Laura Sólveig Lefort Scheefer, formaður ungra umhverfissinna, eru í Belém í Brasilíu á COP-loftslagsráðstefnunni.

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre qué significa hoy ser clase media. Comento el vídeo de Marta Emerson y su análisis sobre el nivel de vida, pero también aporto mi propia visión desde una realidad más cercana: cómo cambia la percepción del bienestar según dónde vivas.Porque no es lo mismo mantener un estilo de vida cómodo en Barcelona que hacerlo en una ciudad pequeña o un pueblo, donde con 2.000 euros puedes cubrir muchas de esas cosas que se asocian a “vivir bien”.También os cuento mis primeras impresiones con el iPad y la funda JETech, mucho más barata que el PaperlinK, y os adelanto que pronto hablaremos del siguiente capítulo de Yo, Robot.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm te cuento mis primeras impresiones con el iPad, que se está convirtiendo en una herramienta fantástica para la productividad. Lo estoy usando para leer, tomar notas, e incluso diseñar páginas web directamente desde la pantalla.Además, hablo de un accesorio que me llama mucho la atención: el Paperlike, un protector de pantalla que imita la textura del papel cuando escribes con el Apple Pencil. Aún no lo he comprado, pero todo apunta a que puede ser un gran cambio para quienes usan el iPad para escribir o dibujar.Y, como suele pasar, entre paseo y paseo con mi perro, también comento un pequeño fiasco: la luz V16 que compré hace un año y resultó no estar homologada, aunque me aseguraron que sí. Ahora explico por qué en enero será obligatorio usar las que sí llevan GPS y conexión.Una charla relajada, con tecnología, anécdotas y ese toque cotidiano que siempre me acompaña.

Hoy en La opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre algo muy simple pero que muchos olvidan: la importancia de CUMPLIR PLAZOS, ser PROFESIONAL y actuar con ÉTICA.Esta mañana me he reunido con un cliente que quería montar una TIENDA ONLINE GIGANTE, con miles de referencias y sin tener aún logística ni estructura. Le he explicado que eso podría ser un SUICIDIO EMPRESARIAL, y que es mejor EMPEZAR PEQUEÑO Y CRECER PASO A PASO.También comento un ejemplo de un TALLER DESBORDADO, donde por falta de organización y compromiso se pierde dinero a diario. Y es que, hoy en día, con un poco de seriedad y profesionalidad, ¡te puedes FORRAR!

En este episodio de La opinión de Marm hablo sobre el clásico de Isaac Asimov, Yo, Robot, centrado en los capítulos “Sentido giratorio” y “Razón”.Dos historias fascinantes donde la INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL, la LÓGICA y la CONDICIÓN HUMANA se entrelazan de una forma sorprendente.Comento los momentos más destacados, las ideas que Asimov plantea sobre el pensamiento racional de los robots y cómo anticipó muchos de los dilemas que hoy seguimos debatiendo.

En este episodio de La Opinión de Marm hablo de un tema que nos toca a muchos: la subida de las cuotas de los autónomos.Comento una conversación que tuve con dos padres —uno que se quejaba de las cuotas y otro de los salarios bajos— y reflexiono sobre quién acaba pagando realmente esas subidas.Pongo un ejemplo muy claro: si tengo una frutería y pago a mis trabajadores 1000€, y de repente el Estado me obliga a pagarles 1500€, ¿de dónde sale esa diferencia? Pues de subir los precios.Y así, lo que parece una buena noticia —más sueldo o más cotización— termina repercutiendo en el bolsillo de todos.Una charla directa, real y sin filtros sobre cómo las decisiones económicas acaban afectando a los precios de todo lo que compramos.Si buscas contenido auténtico y variado, ¡estoy en YouTube, Telegram y en las plataformas de podcasting para ti!

En este episodio de La Opinión de Marm, reflexiono sobre dos temas que se cruzan más de lo que parece: la educación de los hijos y la diferencia entre lo que mostramos y lo que realmente vivimos.Te cuento cómo fue un evento de emprendimiento y liderazgo al que asistí, y cómo me hizo pensar en ese mensaje tan repetido de “si quieres, puedes”. También hablo de la realidad que no se ve desde fuera —esa que muchas veces damos por hecha— y de lo que supone educar en casa con normas, límites y sentido común, mientras uno mismo intenta mantener el equilibrio entre el trabajo, la familia y la vida real.Un episodio honesto, cercano y con esas pequeñas reflexiones que surgen mientras paseo con Rocky y pongo los pensamientos en orden.

En este episodio de La Opinión de Marm te acompaño mientras camino por la calle, compartiendo un rato de conversación tranquila. Te cuento cómo va el montaje del despacho, los pequeños avances con los muebles y, sobre todo, reflexiono sobre la película Cautivo, que vi hace unos días y me dejó pensando en muchas cosas.Una charla sencilla, natural, de esas que surgen mientras caminas y dejas que la mente fluya entre tornillos, ideas y emociones.

En este episodio de La Opinión de Marm os hablo de mi experiencia con los HUAWEI S4

En este episodio de La Opinión de Marm reflexiono sobre un debate que sigue vivo: ¿somos hispanos o latinos? A raíz del libro Hispanos de Fernando Díaz Villanueva y de algunos vídeos que circulan en TikTok y YouTube, analizo el origen de estos términos, cómo se usan hoy y qué hay detrás de frases como “España, devuélvenos el oro”.Hablamos de historia, identidad y percepción cultural:✨ El verdadero significado de “hispanos” y “latinos”.✨ ¿España robó oro en América o es un mito?✨ Diferencias entre Hispanoamérica, Latinoamérica e Iberoamérica.✨ La visión actual en redes sociales y en la cultura popular.Un repaso crítico, con ejemplos y preguntas abiertas para que juntos pensemos en lo que realmente nos une a ambos lados del Atlántico.

Te cuento mi visión, sin spoilers directos, pero con una opinión sincera sobre lo que funciona… y lo que no.Después, cambiamos completamente de tono y ritmo para hablar de dos propuestas potentes protagonizadas por Verónica Sánchez, una actriz que nunca decepciona. Primero, comento “La Favorita 1922”, una miniserie de época con tintes políticos, intrigas familiares y mucho carácter. Luego, paso a “Ángela”, una historia contemporánea, mucho más emocional, donde Sánchez vuelve a demostrar por qué es una de las intérpretes más sólidas del panorama español.Por último, comparto mis impresiones sobre “Matices”, la nueva serie con Elsa Pataky, una propuesta visualmente cuidada y emocionalmente interesante que nos presenta una faceta más íntima de la actriz. ¿Es solo una serie bonita o tiene fondo? ¿Qué tiene que decir Elsa más allá de su imagen pública?Un episodio lleno de contrastes: de los rugidos jurásicos a los silencios más humanos, de la espectacularidad a la introspección. ¡Gracias por escuchar y acompáñame en este viaje entre mundos tan distintos como fascinantes!

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor-writer-composer Margot Rose to discuss her new autobiographical musical Unconditional, which is playing at the Skylight Theatre in Los Angeles through March 9th. The play tells the story of how Margot became a mother of twins in her forties, got a divorce from her wife and then suffered an unfathomable loss in her sixties when her daughter Nora died suddenly in a car accident. The play asks the question: How do we, as human beings, go on after a devastating loss? Margot talks about feeling like her daughter Nora would have wanted her to create this play, how she gets through the show without her emotions overwhelming her and the moments during development where she truly felt Nora's presence. Other topics include: being a sexy Hollywood lesbian in the 80's ("I was very Shane-y from The L Word"), why her kids have always called her Marm, the current Joni Mitchell renaissance, giving excellent Tooth Fairy, and the message of hope that she hopes audiences take away from Unconditional. www.unconditionalmusical.com

Transcript Live Like the World is Dying: Maria on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla **Inmn ** 00:15 Hello, and welcome to Live Like the World is Dying, your podcast for what feels like the end times. I'm your host today Inmn Neruin. And today we're going to be talking about a kind of different lens of preparedness than we normally talk about...or no--well, I guess we always kind of talk about it. But we're...you know, we're not we're not going to be talking about a skill today as much as the importance for figuring out how to provide aid when the powers that be: governments and nations that we absolutely don't put our trust in but...are trapped by fail to do that or purposefully obstruct it. And today we're going to be talking about the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and organizing efforts around that and trying to bring critical aid to Gaza. But before that, we are a proud member of the Channel Zero Network of anarchist podcasts and here's a jingle from another show on that network. [singing] Doo doo doo doo doo. **The Ex-Worker Podcast ** 01:24 The Border is not just a wall. It's not just a line on a map. It's a power structure. A system of control. The Border does not divide one world from another. There is only one world and the Border is tearing it apart. The Ex-Worker podcast presents No Wall They Can Build: A Guide to Borders and Migration Across North America, a serialized audio book in 11 chapters released every Wednesday. Tune in at crimethinc.com/podcast. **Inmn ** 02:04 And we're back. Thank you so much for coming on the show today. I know we had you on the Stranger's podcast recently for your poetry collection, which everyone should pause right now and go and listen to another hour long podcast episode first and then come back and listen to this...or don't. Or listen to it afterwards. Anyways, thank you so much for coming on the show today. Could you introduce yourself with your name, pronouns, and a little bit about yourself and your involvement with the Freedom Flotilla? **Maria ** 02:44 Absolutely. Yes. Hi, thanks for having me. I'm Maria. She/her pronouns. I am a Jewish, anti-Zionist, anarchist, I don't know, organizer, agitator--whatever you want to call it--from the Ohlone of xučyun (Huichin), aka Oakland, California. And I am.... I've been involved doing Palestine Solidarity work since I was a teenager. Originally, I came to awareness around what was happening in Palestine during the assault on Gaza in 2008 and got involved in the student movement and the student occupations that were happening back then. And then actually got kicked out of university as a result of that, which ended up being perfect because I got the opportunity to join the International Solidarity Movement doing work on the ground in Palestine, which is an amazing group that folks should look up. They were defunct for a little bit during COVID but have come back and are working again basically bringing comrades and activists from around the world to stand in solidarity with Palestinian resistance on the ground in Palestine. So I had that opportunity and then I came home and got involved in organizing back here and was not.... So the flotilla, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla has.... So, freedom flotillas have been sailing, trying to break the siege on Gaza since 2008. Basically, a flotilla--for those who don't know--is a group of boats. So it's a group of boats from.... Our flotillas or group of boats from all over the world. There's over 30 countries that are involved sending comrades and activists to break the siege on Gaza. And so these boats are filled--our current boat--is filled with 5000 tons of food and medical aid that we are attempting to bring directly to Gaza in defiance of Israel's illegal naval blockade. These.... Like I said, these missions have been happening since 2008, trying both to bring aid to Gaza and to bring awareness, international awareness, of Israel's blockade and kind of getting a lot of international notoriety 2010 When the Mavi Marmara, a Turkicsh ship that was part of the flotilla, was attacked. And nine people were murdered in that process. And it made headlines at the time and brought a lot of awareness to the ongoing siege on Gaza. And then since then there have been many attempts to break the siege. This year, of course, is a different context. And it's a little bit hard to know what to expect. As you know, as many of us already know, there has been a genocide happening in Palestine since 1948. But the particular intensified moment of genocide that we're in creates a different context that we don't totally know what to expect. But we are determined to sail. We are determined to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza. And especially now more than ever, while there's been a humanitarian crisis in Gaza for a very long time, and this blockade has been happening for 18 years, the famine that is now gripping Gaza is unprecedented. And we are seeing mass death, especially in the north of Gaza, and that is spreading throughout Gaza. Now with the most recent attacks on Rafah, the situation just gets more and more dire every day. One of the goals of the Freedom Flotilla is to emphasize that this is not a natural disaster. You know, there's.... A lot of the way that this gets covered in US media and global media is as if this was a humanitarian--people use the word, "humanitarian crisis," and they use the word "famine." And both of those things are true. And they're also a little bit misleading because this famine is being intentionally created by Israel as a tool of genocide. Israel controls the flow of all aid moving into Gaza and is intentionally and carefully counting how many calories it is allowing into the Gaza Strip in order to intentionally keep the population on the verge of starvation in order to cripple the resistance. This needs to be highlighted. This isn't.... It isn't like they don't know how to get the aid in. It is not logistical obstacles. They try to make it seem like this is, "Oh, how can we possibly get aid in?" Israel has closed every barrier. Like, the fact that we even need to go by sea is insane. They could open the land crossings, which would be the most effective way, but they absolutely refuse. And the United States, our so-called government that has the power to do that and has the power to force the--probably the only government in the world--with the power to force Israel to open the land crossings--is instead building this pier, spending millions of dollars of wasted money that could be being used on aid or, you know, on stopping Israel. And this long drawn out project that now isn't even functioning due to like "climate" or "weather." I can't even remember what they said. There's some kind of structural damage. I mean, they put all this money into it and like still can't deliver aid somehow. And we're supposed to believe that that's a coincidence. Meanwhile, we have a plan to,within three days, effectively deliver all of this aid to Gaza by simply having a basic little fold-out pier that we have packed on the ship that could unfold, deliver the aid, and then we can leave again. It's actually really simple. It's not complicated. None of this has to be complicated. It's being intentionally made complicated as a tool of genocide and as a tool of hiding what Israel is intentionally doing. So that's really a big part of what the Gaza Freedom Flotilla is about. I would say that it's rooted, ultimately, in the principles of DIY and direct action, which are fundamentally anarchist principles to me, and to many of us, the basic idea that no one is going to do this but us. If we want something done, we have to do it ourselves. We cannot rely on these so-called governments who, many of whom around the world claim to support Palestine and give lots of lip service to the need for aid to get in and even for Palestinian Liberation. Other governments, such as our so-called government, have done nothing but contribute to and fund and exacerbate this genocide, still give lip service to "Oh, we need to get aid into Israel," but they're not going to do anything. At best, they don't care. At worst, they actively want this to happen. We cannot wait for them. We've been trying.... Like, you know, not that.... You know, fight by every means necessary. I really do believe in a diversity of tactics. And at the same time, we need to be honest with ourselves that there is no amount of pressure that we can really put on the Biden administration that is going to change the US' has strategic Imperial interest in propping up Israel, you know? And there's no amount of electoral or domestic pressure within the existing system that we can put in that will change the fact that Israel is a beacon of US imperialism in the Middle East. It is a central part of US imperialism's operation globally. And not only our military imperialism but our economic imperialism. So as many of you may already know, and many of you may not, a big part of the impetus for this genocide has to do with global trade and global shipping. So, after the Suez Canal crisis, we saw.... It became clearer than ever to the international community, how delicate the infrastructure of global shipping is. We saw with the simple breakdown of one ship in the Suez Canal, the global economy was brought to a halt. And it is unacceptable-- [Interrupted] **Maria ** 10:18 It's so fragile. And we saw its fragility even more with COVID and with the plague. And it has become clear to the West that having such an important chokehold located in Egypt is not strategic for them. And so Israel has a plan to build what they're calling the Ben Gurion Canal, which is going to be directly north of Gaza, within missile range of of Gaza to be clear, that would be an alternative to the Suez Canal and that would allow for Israel's, and therefore the United States', control over global shipping in a way that we do not currently have. So the depth of the economic investment in committing this genocide is deeper than even natural gas off the coast of Gaza, which a lot of us have also seen headlines about. And a lot of us already know Chevron's interest and BP's interest in colonizing Gaza and eliminating Hamas in order to secure access to that natural gas, but even beyond that, in order to facilitate the construction of the Ben Gurion Canal. With that much at stake, with both fossil fuels and global shipping at stake, there's a no amount of pressure that we can put up on the Biden administration to get them to like, hear truth, you know? If we want change, we have to make it ourselves. And no one is going to do this but us. And I think that the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, the amount of aid that we can actually deliver it with one flotilla is a drop in the bucket. The principle that we are trying to communicate to the world, and that we've seen in many places, is that we can't wait. We have to...we have to show up. We have to be there for our Palestinian siblings. We have to be there for our siblings around the world. And we have to do it ourselves. You know, I think we saw a similar thing with the Great March of Return, and I'm extremely inspired by the Great March of Return of Palestinians coming from Lebanon and breaking through the border there. And we, you know, continue to be inspired by Palestinian resistance globally and to work in concert with that resistance in order to do whatever we can to stop this genocide, both in the immediate sense and in the ongoing sense of Israel's colonization of Palestine from the river to the sea. **Inmn ** 10:18 It's so fragile. **Inmn ** 12:35 Golly, thank you for that very--I will call it a little bit of a rant thing. That was incredible and very informative. And now I have like 100 questions. **Inmn ** 12:47 I have 100 more things to talk about but lay it on me. **Inmn ** 12:51 Um, I think like, or.... I don't even know where to start. Actually, there's this funny place that I want to start, which I'm maybe gonna feel funny about and is maybe like.... Whatever, I don't think it's me feeling nihilistic about it as much as like confused by imaging in..... So I, as a lot of us have been seeing a lot of news graphics, infographics. And I saw this one recently that was talking about "planned distraction." And it was like this thing that was like, "Israel's really counting on Americans being distracted by Memorial Day weekend to intensify the assault on Rafah." And I was just like, I don't think Israel's thinking about what random Americans are doing. Like, as you say, I don't think there's any amount of pressure that we can put on institutions like the Biden administration to change those things. **Maria ** 14:30 Yeah, it's an interesting question. I mean, I don't know. I mean, nobody really knows. I do think that it's worth noting that the last major assaults on Rafah began during the Superbowl also. So I mean, it's...who knows, maybe they are thinking about it. And Israel is very much concerned with its public image. [half interrupts self] Well, it's complicated, right? They are very much concerned with their public image and they're also on a genocidal, psychotic rampage, which is causing all sorts of domestic tensions. And Israeli domestic politics are a whole nother can of worms. You know, there isn't one--like anywhere--there isn't one unified Israeli interest. Israel, like every other country, is a contestation of political forces with central goals but also pulling at each other and pulling itself apart. And we actually are seeing Israeli domestic-- [Interrupts self] I think it's also very worth noting that last summer before the assaults on Gaza, before the most recent assault on Gaza began, we saw the first ever domestic Israeli social movement, really since the creation of the state. There was an actual--I mean, you know, fairly tame but for Israel significant--uprising of Israelis against their government. And several months later, this genocide happens, right? And this is not a coincidence. We've seen this kind of pattern time and time again, where a state in order to secure domestic unity will declare war or genocide on a foreign enemy. I think it's also worth noting that the plans for this--while October 7th may have been the the spark--the plans for this were very much already in place. And it is very clear from how quickly and strategically and efficiently they have acted that they have just been waiting for this opportunity. So I think that's worth emphasizing. I think, and then I just also want to clarify, as far as like "no amount of domestic pressure," I think that there's...I want to be clear that, like I said, I believe deeply in a diversity of tactics. And I do think that we need to do everything. And I think that there is very--like, I'm not saying that we should all just go to Palestine. I think there's very important roles for us to play here in the United States in organizing. But we need to be realistic about how we're gauging our targets. So we're never going to be able to appeal to the moral or even political interests of--as far as like electoral political interests--of these things. We...I think...I personally think that our best hope is to challenge their economic function, right, and to make this cost so much that they cannot continue. And that's a lot. It has to cost a lot because they have a lot to gain. But you know, what? We have a lot to lose. We have everything to lose and everything to gain. And we need to make this cost more than they can imagine. **Inmn ** 17:28 Yeah. And yeah, maybe to be clear, the infographic that I was seeing, it was like, its suggestion was like, you know, "Get on the phone and call your congress people." And I was just like, you know, yeah, "by any means necessary," and whatever people can do, but I was like, I don't think the one thing stopping.... It framed it in this way--I am gonna get off this topic very quickly and spent too much time on this--but it framed it in this way of like, "Oh, if Americans just weren't so distracted by barbecuing over the weekend then genocide and then Gaza would have been over," and I was just like...that. Okay, whatever. Anyway, a real question. So I think maybe something that I've been curious, I guess, about is some of the like geopolitical--or like, specifically like geographical--forces at work where.... Like for the.... Can you tell me about waterways, waterways in and around Israel and Gaza? Like I guess like what is the proposed route? Or like, what are some of the.... Like, how get Flotilla? **Maria ** 18:48 How get Flotilla. **Inmn ** 18:49 How blockaded? **Maria ** 18:52 Through the Mediterranean. So we had originally, we had originally planned to sail from Turkey, from Istanbul, and I was actually in Istanbul with hundreds of other people. We were, our bags were packed, the boat was full, we were ready to sail, and the mission was bureaucratically sabotaged by Israel. This was several weeks ago. **Inmn ** 19:13 Is this the flag thing? **Maria ** 19:14 Yeah, so Israel has tried many different avenues to sabotage the Flotilla, including physical sabotage of the ship. But one--and this has happened for many years--but one tactic they have not tried before, and that we were not prepared for, was that they pressured.... So I don't know how much people know about shipping. But every ship that leaves a port has to pass to sail under a flag, a national flag. As far as I understand, any ship that doesn't sail under a flag is technically considered a pirate ship. [says incredulously, laughing] So if we wanted to leave and be allowed to leave by the Coast Guard, we would have to have a national flag. And usually those flags have nothing to do with the mission. You basically buy a flag to sail under. It's interesting. It's actually kind of like a side hustle for a lot of poorer countries, they sell their flags at a cheaper rate and with less bureaucracy. So I think most international shipping actually happens under the flag of the Philippines. But we were gonna sail under the flag of Guinea Bissau, which was a flag of convenience. And Israel put immense--Israel in the United States--put immense pressure on Guinea Bissau to withdraw the flag. And so the flag was withdrawn literally the day we were supposed to depart, like bags packed and ready to go. And, you know, we could have...like the captain could have, I suppose, made the choice to sail anyway, but then that would have forced a confrontation with the Turkish Coast Guard, rather than with the Israeli naval blockade, which people felt wasn't...wasn't worth it. You know, for better or worse. Whatever. The people thought it wasn't worth it. And that it was a better plan to just try to get another flag. So the flotilla is delayed as we are searching for another flag. That process is well underway. And I am hoping.... We'll have more information within the next week about where that is at and when and where we're planning to sail from. It's not sure that we'll be sailing from Turkey anymore at this point. Turkey would have been about a three day sail to Gaza. And at this point we might have to be looking at somewhere further out. TBD. **Inmn ** 21:27 Like somewhere further out to escape the influence of Israel putting pressure on those local areas? **Maria ** 21:36 Yeah, so there was a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure put on the Turkish Government. And Turkey, while it gives incredible lip service to supporting a free Palestine, is actually deeply economically dependent on Israel. And the domestic politics there is a whole can of worms. Anyway, I don't know where that's at. That's not part of the...that's not the team that I'm on. You know? I'm doing a lot of more of a social media and grassroots organizing here in the US. So I'm not one of those people figuring that part out. But, I mean, we can all see, we all basically know the general geopolitics of that region and how complicated it is for any country in the world to allow us to sail because of the possibility of antagonizing Israel, and what that can mean as a nuclear power and as a proxy of the United States in the region. But we will. We'll find a place that we will do it. Inshallah, very soon. And that is underway. I think as far as what's happened in the past, so what's happened in the past, most of the Flotillas have not--actually all of the Flotillas--have not actually made it to Gaza. They are pretty consistently stopped, often in international waters--which is illegal--before arriving. There are no ports in Gaza that one could land at. So like we said, we had this plan with a pier that can unfold. In the past Israel has stopped the flotilla with its naval blockade. In 2010 the ships were famously--one of the ships in particular--was famously attacked, and nine people were were murdered in that process. Since then, there have been no fatalities. No one has been matyred. But everyone pretty much has been arrested and deported. **Maria ** 21:37 From like international waters? [Said confused like it sounds sketchy] **Maria ** 23:40 I think they get brought into Ashdod, usually, and deported from there, like on an Israeli vessel or whatever. I don't know. I haven't been on any of the flotillas before. This will be my first journey. One of my aunts was really involved in them for many years, so I learned a lot about the process, and I've been following the process, since 2010. She's been very involved in--or she was--very involved in it. Gail Miller, may her name be for blessing. So I've been following it but this is my first actual mission joining. **Inmn ** 24:14 Cool. Um, yeah, it's...I don't know, it's.... Thinking about waterways has been something that's been really interesting with a lot of the goings on in and around the genocide in Gaza, like specifically with like...it was fun to see countries like Yemen be like, "Oh, we're gonna blockade Israel or we're gonna blockade shipping routes for Israel shit." And interesting to hear you talk about the connections to global shipping, because then that turned into this big global shipping catastrophe. And like the US and Israel were like "We're protecting global shipping lanes for like the good of Capitalism..." **Maria ** 25:14 One of the first honest things they've said. Yeah, absolutely. I think even with that, it's worth remembering too, just kind of going back to what I said, that the governments of the world are not acting. It wasn't the Yemeni government who took that action. You know, it was it was the Houthis. And overwhelmingly, we see that is not governments anywhere, but rather people working with conviction and solidarity who can actually stop the infrastructure of global trade, can actually stop...can actually have some real impact on this genocide, right? Like, that's one of the only meaningful...you know, people know that acronym BDS, It's boycott, divestment, and sanctions, which is...was a movement in South Africa during the anti-apartheid struggle that the Palestinian anti-apartheid struggle has adopted, and that has been a global call for some time now. And one of the only real meaningful BDS actions we've seen has been by the Houthis, in that way, you know, actually interfering with Israeli shipping. **Inmn ** 26:15 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, that's, interesting to hear. I feel like this is a topic that I've tried really hard to learn about on the internet and every time I do it's deeply confusing. And I get more confused because there's a lot of propaganda from the US and from Israel about, like, you know, who's enacting these blockades and whatever reasons that they make up. I saw...I was reading a little bit about the 2010 flotilla where, either like before or after it, Israel was making these wild accusations that the flotilla was working with Al Qaeda or had all these connections to groups they labeled as terroristic. And then the claims were withdrawn later because everyone was like, "Literally what the fuck are you talking about?" **Maria ** 27:15 Yeah, absolutely. And, of course, they're always going to do that, you know, and they're always going to try any possible means to antagonize and paint any kind of resistance is terrorism, which is also what we're seeing in Gaza, right? They will paint five-year old children as terrorists, you know? They have no shame and and they've gotten so far...they've spiraled so deep into their own narrative that they have really lost the plot. It's kind of wild. **Inmn ** 27:46 Yeah. Yeah. I think there's...it's like this thing that's been happening for quite some time, which seems like less obvious to people who have been paying attention, but like, I feel like a decade ago, or a decade and a half ago--wow, time happens--there, like you said, Israel has had these moments of being deeply concerned with their public image and then these moments of just the veil coming off and being like, which is happening there, it's happening here in the United States, it's happening everywhere, just fascistic forces becoming less concerned with what their public images are and just owning being terrible and fucked up. Being like, "Who's gonna stop us?" **Maria ** 28:39 Yeah, I mean, you know, it's, like I said, Israeli domestic politics are a total mess, but there is definitely a stronger and stronger faction that feels that way. And just thinking about it also, to bring it back to sort of the actual mission of the Flotilla, which is to deliver aid, and.... Well, it's twofold, right? It's to deliver aid and it's to break the siege and highlight the injustice--and not just injustice but absolute insanity--of the fox guarding the hen house here, so that all aid flowing...coming into Gaza has to be searched and is being monitored by Israel, and the sort of intentional, as I spoke to in the beginning, of the intentional famine that is being constructed there. And, you know, we saw in the news in March, that we were on the...we're at a tipping point of mass starvation. And that tipping point has been tipped. We are seeing unprecedented famine happening in Gaza. And I wanted to bring it back to that because I also want to just think a little bit about contextualizing what famine means. You know, I mentioned before that people often treat--like the media often treats this as a natural disaster or something or tries to paint it as a natural disaster-- **Inmn ** 29:53 Yeah, it "just happened" **Maria ** 29:54 --as an intentional act of war and genocide. And I think that we have to frame it that way and we have to both make sure that aid is getting in immediately, and to recognize that this is political, that no matter how much money we send to the Red Cross, if aid isn't being allowed to cross isn't helpful, which is not to say don't donate. Donate. And donate, specifically, to Palestinian mutual aid funds, which are the most grassroots opportunities, the most direct way to get funding, and you can find that...I can direct you, at the end, towards different places to donate The Middle East Children's Alliance has been able to get a lot of aid directly in. There's also a lot of, there's a group called Bay to Gaza Mutual Aid, which has collected a bunch of on the ground places to help people in Gaza. So just to be clear, I'm not saying not to donate. You definitely should. And we have to recognize that without an end to this, to the siege and to the bombardment, and the occupation, aid can only go so far. And I think it's important to contextualize that, to remember that this isn't...this phenomena also isn't unique to Palestine, right, this ideathat the global media treats famine as somehow a "natural phenomenon," when in reality, it's politically constructed. It's not just for Palestine, It's true all over the world. And we're seeing that especially in..... I think you can't actually talk about Gaza right now without also talking about Darfur and Sudan and what's happening there. And I think even more than in Gaza, famine--the politically constructed famine--that affects Africa, and specifically, that affects Black people in Africa, is often treated as "inevitable," and "natural," when it is very much politically constructed. And what we're seeing in Sudan, and the genocide that is taking place in Sudan right now, and the famine that is gripping Sudan right now, is every bit as politically constructed, is every bit as entwined with resource wars with the UAE and Saudis, race for controlling natural gas and resources, and for having a monopoly over those things. And this is this genocide is being directly funded by the UAE, which the United States will not challenge because of our strategic alliances there. And the people being targeted by this genocide are overwhelmingly African agriculturalists who have continued to keep that land fertile and producing food when it is more within the interest of the imperialist powers, and particularly the UAE, to have the land become arid so that it can become extraction sites for minerals and fossil fuels. So all that to say, a big part of the goal of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla is to politicize famine itself, because it is political. **Inmn ** 32:53 Yeah. Yeah, I know, it's hard to actually think of a famine, like a historical famine, that is actually not a political tool, or like an act of genocide. It's like we...when we...when we think of it, even like the word that we have, it's like when we think of famine, we think of there being a lack of something, we think of there being some kind of disaster that is just like, "Oh, the conditions just made it so that food couldn't be produced." And it's...it's never that. And, at least in English, like we don't really have a word for enacted famine that I can think of that isn't just genocide or that isn't just like purposeful starvation. It's like this entire language lacks a word for this tool that is used. **Maria ** 33:51 Caloric warfare. **Inmn ** 33:54 Yeah, um, I guess like kind of change tack a little bit, I feel like I'm using you as my filter for trying to learn about things on the internet and like running into so many weird like blocks that I'm like, I have no idea what's going on because the global media apparatus is horrible. But what.... I guess like what's going on with world government efforts to like get like food and aid into Gaza? Like I know there's been like a lot of back and forth with what like the UN is doing to get in food and it seems like that's not happening anymore? **Inmn ** 34:40 Where was the pier being built? And, like, what, like there weren't other peirs? **Maria ** 34:40 Right. I mean, one of the most bizarre things that's been happening that has been a lot of the efforts right now is airdrops. So people are like, "There's no way to get aid into Gaza. We have to literally drop it from the air," which is not only unhelpful, but has actually been dangerous and had has caused injury and the destruction of the aid being delivered and has been, shockingly, both ineffective and unsafe. Meanwhile, you could just cross the border, right? We shouldn't even have to be going in through the sea. There's not even.... Like we're going through the flotilla because we feel like that is our best chance of getting in. But there are... like, Egypt shares a border with Gaza. The Rafah crossing a should be open, and people should be able to bring in aid by land. And there's some aid that is crossing there. But as we've seen, to the extent that Israel will let anything in there, which has been very limited, there are settler...civilian--so-called civilians--although, they're not civilian, because they're armed to the teeth with AK--well not AK-47s but M-16s--actively blocking and looting and destroying trucks that are delivering aid to Gaza. I'm just like, can you even imagine? Like, could you imagine? It's hard like.... Like, what goes through your mind? What lives in your heart to destroy food, going to starving children? You know, I.... Whatever. But like, that's actively happening, you know. And so yeah, the airdrops have been a lot of like, you know, this whole US pier that I think I spoke to earlier that they're trying to construct this peir, they constructed this peir. It was pseudo operational for a minute. Now, it's non-operational, again, spending millions of dollars for this basically theater, when the US could, in a heartbeat stop sending aid to Israel and end this whole thing. **Maria ** 36:45 Off the coast of Gaza. It's a floating pier. So yeah, it's whatever.... It's a floating pier off the coast of Gaza. No, it's...I mean, it's honestly, like it's a whole charade. To be honest. Like the United States could, tomorrow, stop this but they won't. **Inmn ** 37:08 Yeah. And it's like the excuses are always these like strange logistical, bureaucratic excuses. Of like, "Oh, I don't know, the pier, the pier didn't work out. Or like, if only we could secure the border crossings, then aid could flow freely through." [Said sarcastically] **Maria ** 37:29 Right, exactly. Which, you know, is a common thing that we see globally too. We see it in this country to some degree like the crisis at the US-Mexico border, which I believe you're at right now. Like, they treat it like..... They treat so much of the humanitarian crisis that's happening there as if it were an impossible problem to solve when it's a very similar situation. It's a intentionally constructed political crisis. **Inmn ** 37:55 Yeah. And it's like, you know, there's a kind of, I guess, famous zine--or maybe people haven't read that one in a while because it's been a long time. But there's a scene called Designed To Kill, which is exactly how the US-Mexico border works. It's like the way that you hear government talk about it, they talk about it as if like, "Oh, we just can't do literally a single thing about it. We have billions of dollars, but we just can't solve this problem." And it's like--this is gonna sound weird--but it's like when you hear Border Patrol talk about like, like, "If only we could figure out how to stop people from coming in," which is not anything that I would ever want, but is what the government talks about. And it's like, you're not trying to do that. If you were trying to do that, it would be quite easy to do that. Like you have designed a system to funnel people in, to exploit them through private prisons, to psychologically terrify, and kill people. **Maria ** 39:06 Absolutely. **Inmn ** 39:06 It is a sick and twisted thing. It is a disaster of your own creation that you then LARP as being the humanitarian actors for, for like public image. Like Border Patrol has a.... Border Patrol has a search and rescue unit. They have like a helicopter that they tote around. [Affirmative sounds from Maria] Fucking absurd. 39:32 I know. I know. Yeah. I mean, I think that you know, I believe you were involved with No More Deaths at the US-Mexico border for a long time, and I think that there's a very similar principle as with the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, that the people who created this crisis are not going to be the ones to stop it. And if anyone's going to do something, it has to be us. We have to do something. Because, yeah, the colonizer isn't going to stop colonizing unless we do something about it. **Inmn ** 40:03 No. And it's like we can't count on.... It's like, we.... Like a lot of people, I think have this, like this myth or hope or whatever that like, "Oh, well, if things ever get really weird, like the UN will step in," or something. And it's like the UN has proceeded to literally fucking nothing. Or it's like the...like, what is it? The I forget the acronym for that court, the UN court, the world.... **Inmn ** 40:31 Yeah. Yeah, the ICJ making rulings towards Israel about, "We want you to stop the genocide." And they're like, "Well, we're not going to do it." And it's like the ICJ does literally fucking nothing. **Maria ** 40:31 The ICJ 40:47 I mean, I believe that ICJ is interesting. The ICJ did issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, which, as far as I can tell, only means that there's like, certain countries he maybe can't go to or like, if he loses this war, which inshallah, he will, that there could be potentially be consequences for him. But that really, like, you know, it's all about real politics. That really just depends on how the war itself goes, you know? Like the international arrest warrants issued in Nazi Germany only were meaningful because Germany lost the war. I just wanted to, I mentioned No More Deaths early and I realized that probably not all the listeners know what that is. So I just thought I'd say No More Deaths is mutual aid project at the US-Mexico border. Grassroots, mostly anarchist lead from what I understand, project. Once upon a time, at least. **Inmn ** 41:45 Let's say anarchistic. **Maria ** 41:48 There we go, there we go. That [NMD] provides mutual aid that both has like emergency medical care and food and also like hikes the desert searching for people who are lost and helping evacuate people who are in need and giving direct aid at the Border despite the Border Patrol's attempt to criminalize those efforts. Which I know a lot of our listeners have probably been involved in. I believe you were. I went out there for...a long time ago. I went out there to do that. But I do think that there's powerful mutual aid projects like that happening here in Turtle Island, too. So it's worth shouting them out. **Inmn ** 42:29 Yeah, and it's like there's a lot of really interesting parallels between all of these mutual aid projects, and also the systems that create the need for them. Where, I don't know, there's so many Israeli defense contractors that got hired to build the virtual--like Elbit Systems got hired to build the virtual wall in the Border and it's like, the similar systems that get used in Palestine. And there's.... It's freaky. There's this, in Arizona, there's this company trying to build like a water pipeline from the Gulf of Mexico to Scottsdale or something. And it's the same Israeli company that builds pipelines through...or like distillation centers in Palestine. 43:28 Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, we see similar collaborations with Cop City in Atlanta. It's all, it's a global war machine. And we see it functioning exactly the way it's intended to function. But you know, we also have a power to be a cog in that machine. And I am weirdly optimistic a lot. I actually have a lot of faith that we can, you know, this machine can't operate without us, especially us here in the heart of Empire. Like this is in so many ways the veins of empire where so much of it is plotted and executed right here on Turtle Island. And we're uniquely positioned in a lot of ways to clog those arteries. We just have to find the courage and the confidence and the organization to make it happen. And I have so much faith in our ability to do that. Yeah, before, before we run out of time--I don't know if we're coming up on time or not. But I wanted to just also make sure that there's--and I mentioned this, but I just want to give it enough space that this crisis did not start in October. And it also didn't start with the siege of Gaza 18 years ago. This has been a crisis that has been exhibiting in its current form since 1948, since the creation of the State of Israel and the Nakba, which is the genocide of the Palestinian people in order to create the State of Israel and really for longer than that, since Zionist immigration began in the 1880s. And this crisis didn't start now and it's not going to stop when the bombs stop falling on Gaza. This crisis will not end until the settler, ethnic national...the settler, nationalist ethno state of Israel is dismantled. And really until the whole global system of settler colonialism--and all of the national states--are dismantled. But to look specifically at Palestine, like there is no...this is not over until Zionism is over. Zionism needs to be ended, and that the settler ethno state of Israel needs to be ended. And that until all Palestinians have a right to return to their homelands, until all Palestinians have a right to move freely in their homelands, until all Palestinians have a right to autonomy and self governance within their homelands. And by self-governments, I don't just mean to have a State, but to be able to have agency over their own lives and their own decisions. And until that, the struggle isn't over, and it can't be. And, you know, I think I'm actually very hopeful about this moment, I think that there is...that there is an incredible not, just an outpouring of support for the Palestinians, but incredible recognition of the state of global colonialism in the 21st century and its relationship to resource extraction and what we can do to stop it and I know that the Palestinian.... Like part of the reason that people around the world have responded to what's happening in Palestine the way they do is because this really resonates with so many indigenous people's struggles everywhere. Indigenous people all over the world see their struggle in the struggle with Palestinians and are rising up all over the world and it is very much a global struggle and very much that to free Palestine is in so many ways to free the world. **Maria ** 43:28 Yeah, yeah. Um, I know that you're...you've been part of some...part of this larger project...movement...coalition? I don't know words. But are there...are there ways that people can plug into this? Like if someone's like, "Yo, I got a boat. I want to join the flotilla." Can they do that? 47:25 I don't know about a boat. Well, I mean, if you've got a big boat. These are big boats we're talking Yeah, these are these are big boats. But um, I would say in general, yes. So the website is freedomflotilla.org. You can also find it on all the social medias, but especially you can find it on you know, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram. Also, specifically for those in the so-called San Francisco Bay area, we have our Bay to Gaza contingent that is...we are currently growing and expanding and getting ready to sail, so you can follow us on Instagram @Bay2Gaza. We're also on TikTok and Twitter, and you can reach out to us there if you're interested in supporting or getting involved. My Instagram is @lchaimIntifada. You can also message me there. I check that a little bit more. And, yeah, reach out. We're definitely still recruiting. We don't know exactly when we're going to sail yet. But we need all types of support. And especially, you know, in a lot of ways, this is a media project. This is about shedding light on a phenomenon. So especially folks who have skills in media are very much needed right now. Both legacy media but also social media. **Inmn ** 48:41 Yeah, yeah. Cool. Um, as we get...I guess, get to the end of time--our time, not the end of all time--are there any other things that you wanted to talk about? Any questions that I didn't ask you that you wanted to just touch on? I feel like I had 100 more questions that I will never remember until we stop the recording. And then I'll remember them. 49:11 Happy to keep talking after we stop the recording. But um, no. I mean, I think yeah, like I said, please, the best way to follow us is on social media. And please reach out if you are interested. And I would say other than that, taking the principle of the Flotilla, the principle that nobody is going to do this if we don't, and that we cannot depend on governments or higher powers to make change. We have to make it ourselves, and apply that to all of your organizing. Apply that to the ways, the strategic ways that you're thinking about challenging genocide and occupation and colonialism everywhere that you are, you know. I think that most of our organizing does need to be done at home where we live. And the message that I want people to take away, personally, from the Flotilla is that if we want change, we have to make it ourselves. And to use that framework, and I think...I think what that really is, is the framework of direct action, personally. I think that the word "direct action" has really lost its meaning. And a lot of activists spaces on Turtle Island in particular, people kind of think that direct action just means chaining yourself to something. And I am firmly of the belief that direct action means...it can mean three things. It can mean destroying something that needs to be destroyed, interfering with something that needs to be interfered with, and creating something that needs to be created. And you're doing it directly as opposed to protest, which is when you're asking power to do it for you. And I think there's a role for both. I think there's a role for protests and there's a role for direct action. But we should know what the difference is when we're framing our strategy, and encourage people to look to a framework of direct action and of destroying what needs to be destroyed, creating what needs to be created, and interfering with what needs to be interfered with. So I'd say that other than getting involved with the Flotilla, just holding those principles and all of our organizing, **Inmn ** 51:05 Yeah. And, can I add a little suggestion to that? **Maria ** 51:12 Please. **Inmn ** 51:13 Also in the realm of when thinking about taking direct action, when thinking about protesting, like whenever, it's like making sure that these things that we're doing are community driven and not relying on, I don't know, political parties, or even nonprofits to guide us through taking action. Like, the only ways that we're going to make it through this is if we do it and can't wait for people with more power to just hand it over. **Maria ** 51:55 Absolutely. And I think that's true on the micro sale scale of mutual aid, which is why we do mutual aid projects and it's also true on the macro scale of how this world will change. And, you know, to me, that's what anarchism is. So... **Inmn ** 52:07 Yeah, well, thank you so much for coming on again. And yeah, listeners, if you want to hear more from Maria, then you can find her on social media or you can go and listen to the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness podcast and you can listen to us talk--honestly, a lot...mostly more about Gaza and the fuckery that is Zionism but through poetry and Maria's beautiful poetry collection, Escape Plan, which you can go check out on the Strangers in a Tangle Wilderness podcast. 52:47 And more about the West Bank, which I didn't get to talk about in this interview. And I'm realizing that was something I missed. But I do talk about that in the other one. 52:53 Do you wanna talk about it now? **Maria ** 52:54 I don't want to add that as like a little side note, but I do just want to say that speaking of like distractions, while this genocide in Gaza has been taking place, Israel has been annexing land in the West Bank at an unprecedented rate, and that the violence, but also the land loss happening right now, is a crisis that needs to be confronted directly. I do talk about that more in the other podcast. **Inmn ** 53:16 Yeah. Cool. Well, we'll see you next time. And I hope that.... **Maria ** 53:26 Free Palestine! **Inmn ** 53:27 Great. Yes. Happen. Free Palestine. I got all the words. At least 10 of them. **Inmn ** 53:40 Thank you so much for listening to Live Like the World is Dying. If you enjoy this podcast, then go do mutual aid.
