Von einer Bundesregierung, die den Aktionsplan Queer Leben einstellt, die Lambda die Finanzierung wegkürzt, die queere Menschen an Verfolgerstaaten ausliefert und die es zum CSD keine Regenbogenfahnen hisst ("Zirkuszelt") empfinde ich jegliche Solidaritätserklärungen als pure Heuchelei. #CSDBerlin
I still get marketing calls from Japan. I take them because I worry I might miss something important. Every time the agent struggles to pronounce my name, assumes my incompetence, and is finally surprised that I do speak the language. Lavish praise follows. So tiring. I’m glad to have left Japan.
Enjoyed this one. I once went to Fuji Rock to see Japanese Breakfast but missed most of their set because I failed to plan the train connection to Niigata. Since their stage was close to the entrance, I was able to hear their songs while making my way to the festival though which was also cool.
„Die Toten in diesem Meer sind sowohl Opfer getroffener als auch ausgebliebener Entscheidungen. Desinteresse am Gemeinwohl […]; ein globales Wirtschaftssystem, das Armut und Ausgrenzung verursacht; […] die Vorstellung, dass uns diese Probleme nichts angehen […].“ (Papst Leo XIV. auf Lampedusa)
Kann die Textgattung nicht ganz einordnen (stream of consciousness vielleicht?), hat mir aber gefallen. Therapeutisch.
Really wanted to like this; it was okay. In the end I had trouble finding either of the worlds believable. I was also shocked by how a r*pe committed by the protagonist was just shrugged off, had no consequences in the ensuing narrative …
Papst Leo XIV. auf Gran Canaria über Flucht als „Gewissensprüfung“: „Jedes Boot, das ankommt, bringt nicht nur Migranten mit sich; es bringt eine Frage mit sich: Welche Welt haben wir geschaffen, wenn so viele Brüder und Schwestern den Tod riskieren müssen, um Leben zu suchen?“
Found this on the side walk today. This is now my lucky guitar pick.
Enjoyed this translation. The introduction provided by Wilson is also excellent. Ready for the movie now! 🤩
Not used to reading philosophy, this was a tough one for me - but also very rewarding. To view gender (and other types of identity) as processes shaped (but not determined) by historical circumstances and not as inalterable essence has a huge emancipatory potential. Another world is possible.
The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.

What a beautiful masterpiece. Said’s erudition and language left me in deep awe, similar as to walking through a gothic cathedral. As someone who majored in a version of area studies, I really should have read this as an undergrad…
For Jacobin, I sat with @michaelpettis.bsky.social for a long conversation about the global trading system. We talked about his influential framework for understanding imbalances, hashed out some of our disagreements, discussed the role of finance and remedies. jacobin.com/2025/12/glob...
Verdi meldet, dass ein Amazon-Beschäftigter während seiner Schicht im Amazon Fulfilment-Centers in Erfurt-Stotternheim gestorben ist - und fordert Aufklärung. Berichten zufolge soll er vorher vergeblich versucht haben, sich bei seinem Vorgesetzen krank zu melden. sat.verdi.de/presse/press...

Wir gedenken heute des hl. Óscar Romero (1917-1980), der als Erzbischof von San Salvador den Armen zu Recht verhelfen wollte, gegen die Gräueltaten der Militärs predigte und deshalb am Altar erschossen wurde: „Dies ist die große Krankheit der heutigen Welt: Nicht lieben können.“
