Matz @der-matz.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Europe’s silence on US interference in Venezuela is often justified as “complex.” The more plausible reason is fear of retaliation. But does silence really reduce risk — or does it merely normalise power over principle? 010

Matz @der-matz.bsky.social · 29/06/2025This morning I filled the birdbaths on the green roof. Next to one, I spotted a humble self-heal in bloom.

Matz @der-matz.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Bad news. Herr Nase’s nose abscess was too advanced and his teeth in too bad a state the vet decided to let the old fellow go. Myri and I are very sad though we understand that’s how things can go in the wild. Rest in peace dear Herr Nase. We love you 🦔 000

Matz @der-matz.bsky.social · 16/04/2025More good news. We filmed two hedgehogs tonight at or second feeding station in front of the house. One we knew from the garden, this little fella is definitely new. So, so happy 😀🦔 #gardening #hedgehogs #mygarden #biodiversity 030
Matz @der-matz.bsky.social · 15/04/2025We were a bit worried as we hadn’t seen Herr Nase (Mr Nose) for a while. Tonight he was back. And how. Meeting the other regular. It was seemingly not love at first sight 🤣 #hedgehog #gardening #ecogardening #biodiversity 030
