In the Balkans, tradition is often deemed to be fixed and patriarchal. Yet the region’s history, folklore and popular memory contain more complicated examples of the fluidity of gender roles.

Èi pas tròp enveja de m’esperlongar suu crimi que’ns butèc totis i a pas guaire e que’s debanèc en Gasconha. N’am dejà fòrça parlat. Soi jo doblament destorbat, qu’una part deu drama se passèc dens la vilòta vesina de la meuna, Plaséncia deu Toish. Tot aquò es tarrible e nos sentissèm totis concernits.

(The Center Square) - In a major staff turnover in the administration of Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, communications director Seferiana Day Hasegawa has been replaced, and a supporter of the mayor has been named in a new role as a strategic communications consultant. Mayoral spokesperson Sage Wilson did not specify the reason for the changes but confirmed they had occurred. "Dawn Schellenberg has stepped in as the Interim Communications Director for the Mayor’s Office. Crystal Fincher will also be joining the team as a Communications Strategy Consultant beginning this week,” he said in a brief email Monday to The Center Square. He did not respond to a request for details on how much the two would be paid. Day Hasegawa said in an email to The Center Square that she was no longer employed in the mayor’s office but would not offer any other explanation or details. Schellenberg is the longtime spokesperson for the city's Department of Transportation, and Fincher is a political consultant who owns Seattle community radio station KVRU 107.5. She hosts a podcast on the station called Hacks and Wonks, which often features interviews with left-leaning political candidates and office holders. Audio of the show shows her frequently praising Wilson for her political and organizing abilities, and her ability to win the mayor’s race over incumbent mayor Bruce Harrell in November. The departure of Day Hasegawa is the third major shakeup to Wilson's staff in just over a month, following the resignation of Jon Grant, her chief adviser on homelessness and housing in late May. Wilson also replaced her chief of staff, longtime friend Kate Brunette Kreuzer, in mid-May 2026, appointing Esther Handy, a city hall veteran, as interim chief of staff. The staffing shakeup followed months of internal friction and deteriorating relations between the mayor's office and the Seattle City Council. The communications director is in charge of how the mayor's image is portrayed, and the message Wilson has been putting out hasn’t always cast her in a positive light outside of her progressive base. Heightened tensions between Wilson and the business community have been a big issue. Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz accused Wilson in May in an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal of vilifying employers and treating corporations as political enemies, despite the city’s continued reliance on them for tax revenue. She joined a barista picket line at a local Starbucks after winning the election and said she was boycotting Starbucks, as should consumers. As mayor, she later walked back comments, saying she had ordered a Starbucks latte. Her announcement came after Seattle-based Starbucks announced it was opening a regional headquarters in Nashville and moving some Seattle-based jobs to the city. Wilson also said "bye" to millionaires who want to leave the state due to the new income tax in a now viral video. Wilson also suffered negative publicity when she had to back off her pledge to open 500 units of temporary housing for the homeless before the World Cup, with the actual number falling short of 100. Another embarrassing saga was her refusal to turn on security cameras before the World Cup games, even as some members of the city council had said they would be helpful to thwart terrorist attacks. Wilson cited privacy concerns and fears that federal immigration agents might use the cameras to make arrests. She said she would only turn on the cameras if there was a credible security threat, never defining what that meant. On June 5, ten days before the first game in Seattle, Wilson reversed course and ordered the cameras turned on, saying law enforcement officials had convinced her of their necessity.

O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva entregou, nesta segunda-feira (29), ao presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), um projeto de lei complementar que amplia para R$ 140 mil o teto de faturamento do microempreendedor individual (MEI). Atualmente, o limite é de R$ 81 mil por ano. No Brasil, estima-se que cerca de 13 milhões de profissionais estejam nessa condição. A proposta prevê ainda a possibilidade de contratação de até dois empregados. "É uma medida que corrige uma defasagem histórica, fortalece os pequenos negócios, incentiva a geração de empregos e garante mais condições para milhões de brasileiros continuarem crescendo com segurança e dignidade", disse o presidente em publicação nas redes sociais. Segundo o governo, a atualização atende a um pleito do setor e corrige uma defasagem desde 2018, quando o teto atual entrou em vigor. Urgência Lula pediu a Motta que o projeto seja votado o mais rapidamente possível "para que a gente possa favorecer aquelas pessoas que mais precisam de crédito". Ao receber a proposta, Motta afirmou que a medida pode ter ampla repercussão entre os trabalhadores. "Se o valor fosse corrigido pela inflação desde a última atualização, há pouco mais de oito anos, o teto estaria hoje em R$ 125 mil. É realmente um gesto do governo, uma construção coletiva com o Congresso, para seguirmos juntos nessa parceria em favor do país", afirmou. Escalonamento O projeto prevê aumento gradual do teto de faturamento. Em 2027, o limite passaria para R$ 110 mil e, em 2028, chegaria a R$ 140 mil. Segundo o governo, a proposta integra um conjunto de medidas voltadas aos empreendedores, que inclui também linhas de crédito. O ministro do Empreendedorismo, Paulo Pereira, afirmou que os pequenos negócios movimentam a economia de milhares de municípios brasileiros, geram empregos e criam oportunidades. "Esse conjunto de medidas foi construído para remover obstáculos, ampliar oportunidades e dar condições para que milhões de empreendedores possam crescer, contratar e prosperar", afirmou.
