Dass der Faschist Musk die EU abschaffen möchte, nur weil sie als einzige seine kriminellen Machenschaffen bestrafen möchte, wäre doch ein guter Anlass für Spitzenpolitiker und Hauptstadtjournalisten, diese Propaganda-verseuchte Desinformationsplattform endlich zu verlassen.

For anyone who thinks that they can't get by without ordering from Amazon - you absolutely can!
We stopped ordering physical products from them at the start of Covid - that's almost 6 years ago - and we haven't regretted it once! Anything we need is available elsewhere, often cheaper! 1/2

There are still some of my Lily-Angels (known around these parts as Lilien-Engel!!) available - but not very many!
With the @sv98.de playing an important game tonight, hopefully they won't need any angels and will be celebrating later! ⚜️

@ciaraioch.bsky.social your packet just arrived in my corner of German, and is just as beautiful as I imagined it would be. Am very tempted to keep it for myself, but I know the recipient will love it too!

These little dogs belong to family of mine and were most likely taken from their garden. As you can imagine they are devastated!
Please Share and bring them home!

Every time I shop at Edeka, Lidl, Rewe, Penny or Netto I remember that cashiers can be efficient and still friendly!
Not so at AldiSüd.
I go there as it's only 2 km from my house - but ask myself are the unfriendly cashiers and the stress at the checkout really worth it?

So here's a question - how many of you have looked inside the inner workings of your tumble dryer? Was there a thick layer of dust?
Are we expected to take the sides off our appliances to clean them? If yes, how often?
PS - if your tumble dryer is the same make as your phone, maybe check it out!

Können wir aufhören, Artikel über Rechtsextremismus mit Springerstiefeln zu bebildern? Das ist keine akkurate Beschreibung der Realität mehr. Näher an der Wahrheit wären die Schuhe von Höcke oder Weidel.

Forget doom-scrolling, and take a minute to read a beautiful, heartwarming story!
Not because I had a small part to play but because now more than ever we need to amplify kindness and human connection, let me share with you the Tale of Kathleen & John
After I had given directions to Kathleen (as I was to learn was her name) she headed off with her trusty walking frame, Esmeralda

It's the same everywhere - we turn on the TV and open Newspapers to see and read the words of all the people, who tell us that they aren't allowed to say anything and aren't given a platform!
Sound familiar to anyone?

Ich mache das Fernsehen an und schlage die Zeitung auf, um die ganzen Leute zu lesen, die mir erzählen, dass sie nichts sagen dürften und keine Plattform bekämen.

Die AfD Hessen (und die FDP) möchten das Portal "Hessen gegen Hetze" abschalten, das als Reaktion auf die Ermordung Walter Lübckes durch einen AfD-Wahlkampfhelfer eingerichtet wurde. Der Grund: Weil manche Meldungen eben auch zu Ermittlungen führen können. Kannst du dir nicht ausdenken.
