I've been self-isolating since the start of the pandemic (March 2020):

my mom, two sisters and me get vaccinations and do medical appointments. but I never meet other people indoors, or visit stores, or travel.

if we saw each other before 2020 and you wonder why we never met again: that is why.

Wow. Just wow.

Wenn Medien sich nicht trauen, offen zu sagen, dass der Bundeskanzler ein Rassist ist, sind sie Komplizen. Punkt. Aus. Vorbei.

"Wir haben natürlich im Stadtbild noch dieses Problem, und deswegen ist der Innenminister auch dabei, im großen Stil Rückführungen zu machen."

Blanker Rassismus, nichts anderes. Mögen es alle auch so benennen.

Pfui Teufel, nur Verachtung für diesen Mann.

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

"Stefan? Hier sind 60 Seiten Prosa/Roman - liest du mal und gibst Bescheid, ob die Richtung stimmt?"

"Die Richtung stimmt! Aber wärs im Präsens erzählt, wäre man näher dran am Ich-Erzähler. Und das ist ja dein Ziel, oder?"

Wenn ihr euch fragt, was der von unserer Bundestagspräsidentin normalisierte Diskurs gebracht hat:

Eine Studentin im Praxissemester hat mir erzählt, dass sie gewarnt wurde, ihren Laptop mit 🏳️‍🌈aufklebern nicht im Unterricht zu benutzen, weil sie zur Neutralität verpflichtet sei.
