#Klöckner und #Merz wissen, dass queere Menschen im NS verfolgt und vernichtet wurden. Wenn sie jetzt queeren Aktivismus als "Zirkus" bezeichnen & sich zugleich mit "Nie Wieder ist jetzt" schmücken, ist das maximal zynisch. Die Shoah-Erinnerung ist keine Legitimierungsmaschine für rechte Politiken.

🇳🇱 Hello Dutch-based Bluesky! 🇳🇱
I'm asking for help in my search for people who'd like to participate in our diary study on the use of water and leftover food. For our RESOURCE project, we're looking for households in the NL to keep a diary for 1 week / season, starting in the spring.
Please share! 🙏

The RESOURCE project turns the usual logic of reasoning about the use of resources upside down. Instead of investigating the wasteful and destructive forms of consumer life, it aims at frugal practice...

Please note: the grotesque and absurd are not mere anecdotes and side effects of fascism but lie at the very heart of it

On dictators and clowns

In February 2022, Vladimir Putin, with a penchant for absurdly long tables and known as a bare-chested horseman and bear tamer, deployed a massive army to invade Ukraine, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky...
