NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

UBC peoples: if anyone is interested in free books, DM me and we can arrange a time for you to browse. Because of space issues I have to downsize my office library. Primarily 18th-21st century literature, philosophy, literary history/theory. Much of it in German but also in English and French.

Picture of office with two desks, one covered with piles of books and a bookshelf in the background.

My post was flagged and hidden (presumably by AI) for promoting "self-harm." I appealed and it looks like it has been restored.
