Frauke

Mein Besuch bei The Golden Shop ist schon geplant, liegt eh auf dem Weg zur Stadtbibliothek.

12. Ein erwachsener Mann sagte im Vorbeigehen zu mir: "Du hast ganz schön große Brüste für Dein Alter." Ich fand das eklig und falsch, denn ich habe mich noch sehr als Kind gefühlt....

I actually had an updated version of this dream a couple of weeks ago: we had to re-take our school exit exam now, over 25 years later. It was a new rule and we all thought we couldn't do it because there wasn't time to prepare. Fortunately I woke up before we had to go in 😁

fortgesetzt: Ich bin davon überzeugt, Alena. Die Alternative ist Tod, Tod und Tod. Bis wir irgendwann verstehen, dass wir dazu verdammt sind, zusammenzuleben.""

Alena Jabarine: Der letzte Himmel - Meine Suche nach Palästina

Empfehlung!

""[...] Heute glaube ich, dass wir mit ihnen in einem Staat zusammenleben müssen. In einem Staat. In dem beide Völker gleiche Rechte haben, Gleichberechtigung in allen Bereichen. ....

Ein Beispiel: meine - seit etlichen Jahren erwachsene - englische Freundin kann Bluesky nicht komplett nutzen (z.B. persönliche Nachrichten lesen oder schreiben), weil sie sich weigert, finanzielle Daten für die Freigabe zu verwenden (Kreditkarte oder ähnliches).

The one before this is the one where you asked if we saw your post beforehand which was about your former colleagues. I hope this helps!

Was bei den aufgeführten Arbeiten ja auch nicht so auffallen dürfte 🙃

Garten- und Landschaftsbau ist eine Fachrichtung unter Gärtner*innen - sie mussten allerdings schon eine Menge pflastern in der Ausbildung. Bei uns (Baumschuler*innen) hießen sie ABC-Gärtner: Asphalt, Beton, Cotoneaster 😎

fortgesetzt: "...und Geldströme umlenken müssen. Vielleicht sind lückenlose Radwege und Wanderwege durch die Städte nicht so sexy, wie einige sich Hyperloop und Flugtaxi vorstellen. Aber es ist etwas viel Wundervolleres: etwas Machbares! Etwas Echtes!"

Morgenbuch 1 (2026)
Katja Diehl & Mario Sixtus: Picknick auf der Autobahn - Wie wir in Zukunft unterwegs sein werden

"Alles ist möglich, wenn wir es nur wollen und wenn wir es tun! Andere haben uns den Weg gezeigt, es ist eigentlich Recht einfach, weil wir nur noch kopieren..."

Graphic with a blue background. Several names can be seen in transparent white. In the center above are two large stripes. These read "1 week - 58,000 names." At the top, in white, it says: "The Nazis persecuted millions of people." And at the bottom: "Help remember the victims - because #everynamecounts." The #everynamecounts logo is at the bottom left.

Save the date: January 26! We’re launching this year’s #everynamecounts challenge the day before International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Help us build the world’s largest digital memorial to the victims of Nazi persecution! #StayTuned

"Steinteppich" kannte ich noch nicht

My father also said I didn't need to understand every word to understand the story and that helped a lot.

That would be worth the fee in any case 😁 I got into reading English books quite early on. My father recommended it to get better at English and it was successful enough that it was noticed by the guy from the state government who checked the quality of our course.

Oh, that's a good reason to avoid it.

No need to apologise! There are a lot of people on here. I will let you know but it could take a while because I need to convince myself that it's okay 😉 but I am willing 😎

That is a great idea 😁

I didn't notice all of it when first reading it because she is good at telling stories. And I stand by that. I am quite angry at her for not using this talent better (this is an unimportant part of my anger but it's part of it). But these books are the ones I could easily give up after a while.

I don't belong to the people who make a sport from not liking what many other people like, so this is my honest opinion - and I totally forgot about him too 😁

Oh yes, I borrowed most of Pratchett's books from libraries but the few I have, I'll keep too.

I tried to read one of his books but I just couldn't. I don't even remember which one it was but I only read a couple of pages - at a time when I was much less critical 🙃
And your thoughts sound much more interesting than the book could ever be 😉

Yes, same about not wanting to sell them and hesitating because of the money that's in there. But I know from experience that I won't care so much in a while. It happened with other books I couldn't keep for moral reasons too.

I listened to that one last year, you made me aware that it came out and I told my other friend at once, we both hadn't noticed when you posted about it. Thanks again! And of course, thanks so much for the other recommendations, I am going to have a look!

Aus aktuellem Anlass der Hinweis: Ihr könnt auf Bluesky abstellen, dass Videos automatisch abgespielt werden.

Dafür geht ihr auf „Inhalte und Medien“ und stellt den Schalter unten im rechten Bild aus.

Das hatte ich vorhin auch gedacht.

Oh, and I got back into using the library last year, that saves a lot of money 😉

One of my jobs in my flat this year is to sort through my book shelves. There are some from before my ban of straight white male authors and I think I want to get rid of them but can't bring myself to do it right now. But maybe I can start with a few and keep the others for now (all by N.G.).

Maybe I need to try it. I listened to a few horror short stories in 2024 and they were not that bad. They were recommended by Alexis Hall. So what's your favourite?
