Quedamos en medio de la travesía

Quedamos en medio de la travesía, entre imágenes difusas de rostros que partieron con sus nombres, sus apellidos y sus biografías, inscritos, quizá, en lápidas abandonadas y frías, y la gente que no estaba con nosotros en aquellos minutos y años infantiles y juveniles, y que ahora escribe sus historias en un mundo que parece roto e inmejorable y que, no obstante, le pertenece durante su fugaz existencia. Quedamos en medio de la travesía, mientras pensábamos que el mundo era nuestro. Era lo que teníamos. Se iban los días sin darnos cuenta. Acaso éramos tan felices que no contabilizábamos los instantes, probablemente estábamos inmersos en un ambiente que creíamos duradero y nuestro, quizá las personas que permanecían con nosotros significaban tanto, o tal vez, enamorados, planeábamos construir un hogar y ser intensamente dichosos. Quedamos en medio de la travesía…

Climate crisis ‘may put 8bn at risk of malaria and dengue’ | Global development | The Guardian
More than 8 billion people could be at risk of malaria and dengue fever by 2080 if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise unabated, a new study says. Malaria and dengue fever will spread to reach billions of people, according to new projections. Researchers predict that up to 4.7 billion more people could be threatened by the world’s two most prominent mosquito-borne diseases, compared with 1970-99 figures. The figures are based on projections of a population growth of about 4.5 billion over the same period, and a temperature rise of about 3.7C by 2100. The study, led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and published in the Lancet Planetary Health journal, found that if emission levels continue to rise at current rates, the effect on global temperatures could lengthen transmission seasons by more than a month for malaria and four months for dengue over the next 50 years.

Long COVID life lessons on symptoms, treatment, and recovery – Los Angeles Times
…This pandemic has heightened the inequities, especially among people of color and women like myself. It has been long and isolating, and has made me see how fragile life can be. I don’t take for granted the privilege that I have to be able to call my parents, family or friends at the drop of a hat, thanks to FaceTime, WhatsApp and high-speed internet. I believe being an educated patient is key to getting the care you need.
I also know that as a person who speaks English, I am privileged. I have had to translate Spanish for a few people in waiting rooms as I saw them struggling to communicate with the nurses and staff.
I am very grateful that I am here today and some days I feel the survivor’s guilt. I think of the thousands of individuals who don’t have access to affordable health insurance, and of those who didn’t survive. I also feel for those who have lost their loved ones.
I’ve learned not to take no for an answer, and to say no when I need to rest. One of my doctors joked, “You take more notes than any other patient I’ve had before.”
These days, my oxygen is 96/97 on most days, and I am able to go up and down the stairs without being winded. I’m still going for tests to resolve some of the symptoms. I can hold interviews and not lose my voice until late in the day. And I can write and share my story.

Self-Publishing in S. India: A Guest Blog Post by Nadira Cotticollan
Happiness Between Tails by da-AL
Traditional publishing, the kind that engages literary agents and monolithic publishing companies, has always been a challenge for writers. In my quest to find either for my soon-to-be-released novels, “Flamenco & the Sitting Cat” and “Tango & the Sitting Cat,” it feels akin to winning the lottery. Fortunately, self-publishing is rapidly becoming a mainstream empowering alternative. What’s your experience with either buying or publishing self-published novels?

Brooklyn Museum Returns 1,305 Pre-Hispanic Artifacts to Costa Rica | Smart News | Smithsonian Magazine
Brooklyn Museum in New York City has voluntarily returned 1,305 pre-Hispanic artifacts—including stone figurines, ceramic vessels and tools—to the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica in San José. As Alvaro Murillo reports for Reuters, the objects arrived in the Central American country late last year. Per a statement, the New York cultural institution previously sent 981 ceramic vessels back to Costa Rica in 2011. Both gifts were unprompted, meaning that the Brooklyn Museum sent the items without receiving a formal request or undergoing a judicial process.
