Die AfD versucht Lehrkräfte mundtot zu machen, indem sie vorschiebt, Schulen müssten immer neutral sein. Das ist falsch! Lehrer*innen haben nicht nur ein Recht darauf, sich gegen menschenfeindliche Positionen zu positionieren, es ist ihre Pflicht.

AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt: Was sagt man, wenn die Schüler »Remigration« fordern?

Die AfD versucht, Lehrkräfte mit Meldeportalen und persönlichen Angriffen zu verunsichern. In Sachsen-Anhalt halten ein Sozialkundeprofessor und ein Lehrer dagegen.

Watching Star Trek TNG over again, with my 13yr old. I think this show fucked up my generation because it convinced us that villains tend to concede when Picard points out the moral consequences of their plans, and their unforeseen impact on other people’s rights and dignity.

...2007 & the discovery of the "Mexican Suitcase." A legendary collection of 4500 lost negatives from the Spanish Civil War stashed in Mexico City.

A compelling black-and-white portrait of pioneering war photojournalist Gerda Taro (1910–1937), renowned for her courageous frontline documentation of the Spanish Civil War and her tragic history as the first female combat photographer killed in action. Photographed from a slightly high angle, Taro sits looking directly up at the camera with a bright, engaged expression, a gentle smile, and wide, expressive dark eyes framed by perfectly arched eyebrows. Her dark hair is styled back in soft, elegant waves. She wears a heavy, texturized fur or faux-fur coat with prominent lapels over a dark, knit, cross-hatched sweater and a crisp white collared shirt peek-a-booed underneath. Her hands rest naturally on a vintage, mechanical portable typewriter sitting open before her, highlighting her dual role in journalism. The composition features a shallow depth of field, rendering the dimly lit room behind her softly out of focus, evoking an intimate, intensely intellectual, and historically significant mood.
