SPCC A Casa Amarela

it came to my attention that people are taking our personal journals so seriously they are mistaking them for the actual stuff that goes on at the house. these are PERSONAL journals, they represent a subjective, personal perspective of what goes on. the REAL, FACTUAL stuff can be read in our front page.

to date, we have hosted over 100 people from all over the world, held workshops on DIY and sustainability, had endless multicultural parties, restored an abandoned building from complete wreck to a working cultural center, including solar energy, dry toilets and plumbing, helped countless homeless people, provided free food, care and nurturing, and not a single time our open house paradigm failed. we did this with no private funding, no public funding, no rich family, yet we succeeded in having a squat that is not only tolerated by local authorities, but also recommended by local police to homeless people.

in less than 6 months, we turned a wreck into wealth, and we are quickly becoming a pit stop for travelers from all over the world. we are making people happier every day, with no property, no authority and funded only by our own work. without a single sponsorship or state institutional label.

if you, reader, choose to confuse my blog (or anyone else's for that matter) with the actual house, choose to confuse our personal issues with the main project, our personal perspectives with the actual house, then maybe you shouldn't visit at all. we do not need people that get caught up on personal issues between people. we need people driven by real ideas and willpower, not fear, insecurity and prejudice.

we do not need people that don't visit because the house is dirty. we need people that come visit to help us clean.

unfortunately, capitalism is great at eliminating everyone with that kind of mindset. so stay home, fearful, keep on consuming. keep watching big brother okupa, sitting in your couch, thinking about what it could be while you gray out into submission.

meanwhile, we'll continue working to make the world just a tiny bit more exuberant. don't curse the darkness, light a candle.
