Noch einmal #Stolpersteine #Heidenau: Das Bestreben, das Gedenken an Opfer d. Nationalsozialismus zu zentralisieren (und auf den Friedhof zu beschränken) hat eine lange Tradition und eine entlastende Funktion. In meiner Diss habe ich das am Beispiel der #Todesmärsche untersucht. Wen das interessert:

Ein Wahlsieg der Linken reicht aus, und die Verlogenheit der leitmedialen Krisenrhetorik der letzten Jahre wird in ihrem ganzen Ausmaß deutlich. Hinter der AfD stehen, ach ja, besorgte Bürger, hinter den Linken terrorverherrlichende Extremisten. Das ist der neue Sound, der sich über Deutschland legt

The one thing is losing Dolly, a fundamentally decent and kind human who was everything good people said about her and more. The other thing is living through this pivot to open facism and feeling every loss of people who just kept doing what is right and good tenfold and not knowing how to bear it

CN patriarchale Gewalt Was mir in dem Bereich tätige Freund*innen berichtet haben ist auch: viele Männer nehmen vor allem SozialarbeiterINNEN, die zu häuslicher und familiärer Gewalt arbeiten, als staatlich engagierte "Störenfriedinnen" dar, die es wagen, sich in deren Privatleben einzumischen. 🧵

Being a sports fan is misery and pain. no idea why I've been doing that to myself for 30+ years by now. (I'll remember tomorrow but right now im busy keeping myself from gnawing through the edge of my table)

Maybe it needs to be pointed out again but: art is work. Work has to be compensated for. We can discuss the question of access once the artist has been payed. But if the artist pursues this as any form of career, compensation is non-negotiable until we made a better, non-capitalist society

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

I can't find the thread anymore so I'll paraphrase but People pushing AI in the arts dont understand that art is the process not the result Writing is about the words and the meaning and how they slot together. Painting is about colour and texture and the physicality of the paintbrush on paper (1/?)

Cottom: Why would a President Harris be expected to unify a country that was never unified before? I want her to expand the court, make care work part of American infrastructure and use the bully pulpit responsibly. I don't care about unity.
