Just voted in my pajamas from my couch in the Dorf. I love you, Oregon, and your common sense approach to voting. Filled out my ballot materials, took a few pics and sent it all off in an email. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Margaret Thatcher isn’t the feminist icon you think she is. She/her Berlin/Dublin
Allison Janney deserves every award for her performance in The Diplomat Series 4. I’ve watched it in English and now in German and even though the German is no where near as good as the English, her facial expressions are doing SO MUCH!! Give her an Emmy, a Golden Globe, heck give her a Pulitzer idk
really enjoying all the Americans screaming GET VACCINATED in the comments as though the reason ppl in Bangladesh aren't getting vaccinated is remotely similar to why your idiot aunt and uncle in Wisconsin refuse to, one group is dying without it, the other spits in the eye of being given everything
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 16h agoBangladesh is battling to contain the world’s worst measles outbreak, a crisis exacerbated by weak data, inadequate outreach and vaccination gaps that experts say offers a warning to other nations about the deadly risk of falling vaccine rates.
Who‘s found the clean nail salon in Berlin? I’ve already found all the dirty ones so looking to switch things up a little.
It is sad to see that the CDU and Friedrich Merz spend more energy on preventing a left wing government in Berlin than they do on preventing a fascist government in Saxon-Anhalt.
It’s ADHD awareness month and this year I’m continuing my noble tradition of remembering this fact over halfway through, with nothing planned for it at all. (I blame the ADHD)
Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall
Ok, I‘ll answer this. They go on for way longer than I‘m expecting and I‘m entirely too introverted to spend hours and hours sitting and gabbing. And my butt falls asleep. They’re all lovely people but I am not built for so much peopling.
Leenchen@leenchen.bsky.social · 2d agoIf you are a non-German with a German partner, do social interactions with your partner and their German friends: Last longer than you expected End sooner than you expected Last about the amt of time you expected? I‘m asking for science, obvs.
Oscar supposed to be grouch. Now he suck up.
Fuss@fusspot.rip · 3d agoThis was worth sitting and typing out the alt text. Even Cookie Monster gets that genAI is worthless.

I’m going to be honest: it‘s nice to live in a place where I no longer have to pretend I like Chex-Mix. It’s nice to be at a party and not have to struggle with the urge to say „Oh wow, salty breakfast cereal. You shouldn’t have.“ Is it salty, is it sweet? What even is it trying to be? Anyone know?
This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.
A horse, to take to France, thereby settling a long-running national mystery #SpeirGorm
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 3d agoquestion for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?
Roasting some celeriac to make an earthy mash. Hope it’s a graveyard smash.

Yet so many Democrats couldn't wait to do it themselves... Almost as if they wanted to do it regardless
Transgender World@transgenderreport.com · 3d agoRepublican challenges his party’s obsession with trans people: “It’s just not resonating” www.thepinknews.com/... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA
Agreed. That ‘reputable poll’ that had Harris +3 in Iowa on the eve of the 2024 election that was out by about 12 points…
Will Cooling@willcooling.bsky.social · 4d agoI know this is slightly irrational but the polls are getting to the point that they are so good that it actually makes me more nervous
I'm going to keep this simple. The catheter for someone with a vagina is different to the one for someone with a penis. Whether born or corrected later. Putting someone on a ward that doesn't have access to the right equipment puts them in danger.
Senthorun S. Raj@senthorun.bsky.social · 4d ago“Forcing trans people into spaces for our sex assigned at birth will never be the most clinically appropriate decision, and would push trans people away from accessing care.” We must continue to challenge the state mandated segregation of trans people in the UK.
I worked exactly one shift as a waitress in a Munich restaurant when I was 18 and knew immediately it was not for me.
Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 3d agoIn honor of the fired lady tell me about your shortest job tenure. I worked at a candy store for less than 2 weeks when I was like 16
Ireland has never had a year with 3 or more Zohrans. Ireland did, however, have eight Kobes and a further eight Kobis in 2025.
Jim Waterson@jim.londoncentric.media · 4d agoZOHRAN BABY BOOM Looking through the baby name register, there's been a massive Mamdani-induced boom in England/Wales. 2023: 3 baby Zohrans 2024: Fewer than 3 baby Zohrans 2025: 23 baby Zohrans (There's no way I can make this work for a London news outlet, some New York journalist rip this off.)
I can hear the pink panther theme being played in French emergency vehicle sirens.

Most potential pet owners consider things like breeding, size, coat, intelligence, trainability, and temperament. Often overlooked is the crucially important element of aerodynamics, which can greatly affect your gas mileage, raising the overall cost of ownership significantly.
Alt text included. My apologies for missing it on the original post but I was a mess reading it.
She is not wrong. It has been repeatedly shown that a slowdown in care for patients because of lack of space or other obstacles leads to worse care outcomes. This is going to lead to trans people being left deteriorating and dying in corridors because they cannot find a 'third space' room for them.
