Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Again, the German word for vicarious embarrassment is Fremdscham, as in, "We are all just going to sink through the floor and die of Fremdscham." 020

Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 19/09/2026My vet's, dentist's and ophthalmologist's offices were all bought out by national groups, and my local auto repair shop, too. The original owners remained as employees. In each case they didn't tell us unless we asked when something seemed different. Did their contract stop them or embarrassment? 110
Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The Germans have a word, of course, for vicarious embarrassment about someone else's cringeworthy behavior: die Fremdscham. It's all Fremdscham all the time now, isn't it? 000

Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 18/09/2026So anyway, tomorrow I thought I might start listening to the audiobook of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice yet again. Her books were meant to be read aloud to friends, and I often hear new and funny things that had previously escaped my too-fast reading. Juliette Stevenson is my favorite narrator. 010
Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Thank you! It's like being trapped in a car with a drunk driver. I see really hopeful signs in the polls, though, so fingers crossed. 010
Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I would like to apologize, individually and severally, for the rich assortment of nincompoops we've inflicted on the world lately, particularly our Nincompoop-in-Chief. We hope to resume our regular service as soon as possible. 180

Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That time you visited for your cousin's wedding in August was just a fluke. It rained all the other days of that year, so grey you'd never see the mountains. You'd find it depressing if you moved here. Though of course we'd be polite to you about your poor decision. 020
Kim Wilson @kimwilsonauthor.bsky.social · 13/09/2026OTD in Jane Austen's life, 1804: Jane walks for an hour on the Cobb at Lyme Regis. She attends a ball at the assembly rooms and meets some "bold, queer looking people, just fit to be Quality at Lyme." 0111
