In Vienna, I also attended a presentation on Martha Geiringer, a lesbian Jewish zoologist who escaped to Belgium, fell in love with a woman physician, and was murdered in Auschwitz. Mark Verschooris researched the story and wrote a book:

Great keynote of @ankahajkova.bsky.social on the history of love and sexuality during the Holocaust. How to write about these intimate histories, both historical and contemporary? A reoccurring theme during the conference “Love, Sexuality, and Intimacy in Exile.” @univie.ac.at.

Amazingly, almost everything in this skeet is wrong. The myth of Spinoza's "excommunication" is mostly a product of twentieth century post-Christian wishful thinking.

Trump demands Ukraine to agree to his 28-point “peace plan”.
There is no sign of ceasefire preparations in Donetsk oblast. There is only raw, muddy and deadly war going on.
This is not peace and this deal won’t bring us peace. This is what Ukrainian soldiers think 🧵

Heathrow express says they close the gates 60s before departure in Paddington but really it is 120s, I can tell you. It took a guy who arrived after me to get the gates to open, I was not that persuasive.
