Cero sorpresa, es en lo que anda: construir un Calvario que sustituye el placer del juego por la trascendencia del sufrimiento. Coraje en lugar de Belleza. Ganar sangrando. Nadal lleva años en la ética del Ecce Homo. Hace años que es un paso de Semana Santa con raqueta. https://t.co/X0IljMSeQX
Lluvia de zascas a un periodista por criticar a Rafa Nadal y llamarlo “Semana Santa con patas” (ElEspañol, MC.-7.7.2022) Vallín ha cuestionado a Rafa Nadal por su lesión en Wimbledon y Twitter ha respondido con contundencia a su comentario.
‘A Rafa Nadal que ni el viento lo toque, que dirían en aquel mítico episodio de Verano Azul. El deportista más épico de la historia de España continúa fraguando su leyenda en los momentos más complicados de su carrera, conviviendo con una lesión crónica en su tobillo y logrando ganar torneos a pesar del dolor y el malestar. Su última hazaña la ha escrito este miércoles en Wimbledon, donde acabó ganado el partido de cuartos de final en la quinta manga tras haber estado a punto de abandonar por molestias en el abdomen.’

‘Por si no van finos en iconografía religiosa, cabe recordar que el Calvario es el nombre por el que también se conoce el Gólgota, el monte al que tuvo que subir Jesucristo para ser crucificado. Poco antes, Poncio Pilatos lo presentaba ante la muchedumbre que lo juzgó ya con la corona de espinas, ensangrentado después de haber recibido los latigazos y con una capa que los soldados romanos le habían puesto para burlarse de él: “He aquí el hombre”, dijo el gobernador, en latín Ecce Homo.’
‘Tanto si se identifican con ella como si no, lean a Isaiah Berlin. ‘El poder de las ideas’ (muy bien traducido por Roberto Ramos y Alejandro Limeres, y con prólogo de Avishai Margalit) es un buen lugar para empezar. Y luego pueden continuar con la magnífica biografía que le dedicó Michael Ignatieff (Taurus), “El estudio adecuado de la humanidad’ (Turner), ‘Las raíces del romanticismo’ (Taurus) o “El erizo y el zorro’ (Península), al que le debe su nombre esta columna.’ (Ramón González Férriz, El erizo y el zorro.

Rebecca Flood, ‘A mum’s letter appealing for women to stop wearing ‘snug-fitting leggings’ as it made looking at their ‘nether regions unavoidable’ has gone viral – with women vowing to WEAR the tight trousers in defiance’ The Sun, 30 03 2019

Maryann White’s letter in full to the University of Notre Dame’s Observer.-
“I’ve thought about writing this letter for a long time. I waited, hoping that fashions would change and such a letter would be unnecessary — but that doesn’t seem to be happening. I’m not trying to insult anyone or infringe upon anyone’s rights.I’m just a Catholic mother of four sons with a problem that only girls can solve: leggings. The emergence of leggings as pants some years ago baffled me. They’re such an unforgiving garment. Last fall, they obtruded painfully on my landscape. I was at Mass at the Basilica with my family. In front of us was a group of young women, all wearing very snug-fitting leggings and all wearing short-waisted tops (so that the lower body was uncovered except for the leggings). Some of them truly looked as though the leggings had been painted on them.
A world in which women continue to be depicted as “babes” by movies, video games, music videos, etc. makes it hard on Catholic mothers to teach their sons that women are someone’s daughters and sisters. That women should be viewed first as people — and all people should be considered with respect. I talk to my sons about Princess Leia and how Jabba the Hutt tried to steal her personhood by putting her into a slave girl outfit in which her body became the focus. (That’s the only scene in the whole franchise in which Leia appears in such a way — and it’s forced upon her.)Leggings are hardly slave girl outfits. And no one is forcing them on the countless young women who wear them. But I wonder why no one thinks it’s strange that the fashion industry has caused women to voluntarily expose their nether regions in this way. I was ashamed for the young women at Mass. I thought of all the other men around and behind us who couldn’t help but see their behinds. My sons know better than to ogle a woman’s body — certainly when I’m around (and hopefully, also when I’m not). They didn’t stare, and they didn’t comment afterwards. But you couldn’t help but see those blackly naked rear ends. I didn’t want to see them — but they were unavoidable. How much more difficult for young guys to ignore them. I’ve heard women say that they like leggings because they’re “comfortable.” So are pajamas. So is nakedness. And the human body is a beautiful thing. But we don’t go around naked because we respect ourselves — we want to be seen as a person, not a body (like slave-girl Leia).We don’t go naked because we respect the other people who must see us, whether they would or not. These are not just my sons — they’re the fathers and brothers of your friends, the male students in your classes, the men of every variety who visit campus. I’m fretting both because of unsavory guys who are looking at you creepily and nice guys who are doing everything to avoid looking at you. For the Catholic mothers who want to find a blanket to lovingly cover your nakedness and protect you — and to find scarves to tie over the eyes of their sons to protect them from you! Leggings are so naked, so form fitting, so exposing. Could you think of the mothers of sons the next time you go shopping and consider choosing jeans instead? Let Notre Dame girls be the first to turn their backs(ides) on leggings. You have every right to wear them. But you have every right to choose not to. Thanks for listening to the lecture. Catholic moms are good at those!”
"Why is she so familiar looking?" This thought rattled around in my empty head like a haunted mantra, and then it hit me, it's the model for the Statue of Liberty. Her name is Isabelle Boyer, she was married to Isaac Singer-of sewing machine fame. Photo taken 1878. pic.twitter.com/JdA4TV936U
[Eugène-Émile-Paul Grindel (Saint-Denis, 14 de diciembre de 1895-18 de noviembre de 1952), conocido como Paul Éluard, fue un poeta francés que cultivó de manera significativa el dadaísmo y el surrealismo.]
‘Elle est debout sur mes paupières
Et ses cheveux sont dans les miens,
Elle a la forme de mes mains,
Elle a la couleur de mes yeux,
Elle s’engloutit dans mon ombre
Comme une pierre sur le ciel.
Elle a toujours les yeux ouverts
Et ne me laisse pas dormir.
Ses rêves en pleine lumière
Font s’évaporer les soleils
Me font rire, pleurer et rire,
Parler sans avoir rien à dire.’
