viva espana!


Spain has a new minister of defense who is seven months pregnant!

This a ballsy (ovary-y?) move from a Socialist government that is focused on gender equality. Ill!

My professor, a smart (philos prof!), sensitive (dad, musician, likes star wars!) and attractive (wavy salt and pepper hair!) man as there ever was, said that the media was covering the issue poorly by focusing on the "shock" that has accompanied Carme Chacón's appointment.
He said that seeing the photo of her with her big belly in front of all the soldiers gave him tingles! Then he made sound effects, and I wanted to stand up and cheer.
