Sorry I Didn’t Reply. I Was Trying To Exist.

The other day I realized I hadn’t replied to a single message in a week. Not one. Not the friend who always listens. Not the family group chat full of “good morning” flowers. Not the person who sent a heartfelt “I miss you.” Nothing. My finger skimmed the notifications… but my soul didn’t.

When The Stands Become A Courtroom

By Maria Raquel

With the Champions League final approaching, NBA playoffs heating up, and sports like skateboarding, dance, and gymnastics trending online, one thing is clear: being a fan is no longer just about cheering. It’s become a kind of emotional cult — and sometimes, a courtroom with no right to defense.

Artificial Intelligence Isn’t Dangerous. We Are.

By Maria Raquel

Everyone seems afraid of artificial intelligence these days. Some believe it’ll take over the world, steal jobs, hack hearts, and of course, wipe out humanity with a button no one asked for. But maybe the problem isn’t AI. Maybe the problem is… us, just with Wi-Fi.

The New Pix Elite: Rich In Bills, Poor In Purpose

By Maria Raquel

These days, paying a bill has become an achievement. A flex. Almost a reason for a mirror selfie with the caption: “Paid in full ?.” And it’s not ironic. With inflation soaring and wages shrinking, managing to stay on top of your payments is becoming as rare as a clean credit score.

The Day Mayor Buzzford Discovered Wi-Fi

By Maria Raquel

It was on a sunny morning — with a side of electromagnetic interference — that Mayor Buzzford, a man known for grand speeches and outdated paper memos, decided it was time to modernize his administration. “We mustn’t lag behind the technocratic tides of progress!” he declared, frowning at the blinking router lights.

The Power Of Ignorance: When Stupidity Becomes A Global Strategy

By Maria Raquel

In a time where misinformation thrives and facts fade, nothing is more valuable to a politician than sounding stupid — as long as it’s intentional.

When The Label Speaks Louder Than The Cause

By Maria Raquel

Something feels off in today’s feminist discourse. On one side, there’s undeniable progress in the fight for women’s rights and equality. On the other, a moralistic, caricatured version of the movement often used as a shield for behavior that’s anything but emancipatory — and sometimes not even ethical.

Freud And The Cabaret Couch – With Extra Repression, Cigars, And Glitter

By Maria Raquel

Freud didn’t just interpret dreams — he *slept with them*. And let’s be honest, he probably woke up in a sweat. Because to talk that much about desire, repression, impulses, and every complex imaginable, your unconscious had to be hotter than a Viennese dance floor.

Between Aliens And Algorithms: The Conspiracy Market

By Maria Raquel

They’ve always existed, but now they have YouTube channels, verified profiles, graphic t-shirts, and even a line of organic skincare. Conspiracy theories have left the basement of fringe discussions and stepped into the spotlight of social media. From vaccines allegedly implanting chips to reptilian celebrities, what was once dismissed as marginal delusion has become entertainment content — and, in many cases, a highly profitable product.
