Sigo indignadísimo con esto; cada vez que un influencer llama al queso fresco este “queso cotáash” me dan microinfartos y muere un gatito. Que pare esta moda por favor.
Fer @gomobel.bsky.social · last yr.No sé qué me fascina más, si la moda de poner requesón en absolutamente todas las recetas supuestamente saludables o que todo el mundo pronuncie “cottage” como si fuera una palabra francesa: cotáash. Virgencita del amor hermoso.
As we've learnt during the #AGATAEclipse series, the way we look at eclipses has changed throughout history. In the past, the sudden darkness of the sky in broad daylight was often terrifying. Stay tuned for the last post of our series tomorrow, which explores one of the most menacing myths. (1/14)
Una de las mejores decisiones que tomamos @gomobel.bsky.social y yo cuando montamos @agata.agency fue hacer semanas de 4 días. Llevamos 4 años con ello y va: muy bien.
Las empresas pioneras en la semana de cuatro días se reafirman: “Nadie se va. El empleado es más eficiente si lo cuidas”
Cuatro años después del ‘boom’ mediático y político, la mayoría de empresas que recortaron un día de jornada hace años mantienen este esquema laboral y reivindican los resultados positivos: “Hay más i...

We’re going back to the Moon! 🚀🌕 NASA’s #ArtemisII mission is set to launch, carrying four astronauts to the far side of the satellite. However, they won’t land on its surface — at least not for now. This ten-day round trip will serve as a test ahead of the Artemis IV Moon landing mission in 2028.
