I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

That's the aftermath of the russian drone attack on the local market in Kharkiv. russia wages the war against kids in their beds, playgrounds, children's hospitals, now also against the toy shops. Here's what you stand for when you lobby for russia.

These: Es gibt keine Male Loneliness Epidemic. Es gibt lediglich eine Gruppe von Männern, die es aufgrund toxisch männlicher Sozialisierung nicht schaffen Beziehungsmodelle zu leben, von denen beide gleichermaßen profitieren. Für immer mehr Frauen ist das aber nachvollziehbarerweise bare Minimum. 💁🏻‍♀️

Many people think that if Ukrainians surrendered, we’d get peace.

No, we’d get much more wars.

If we didn’t defend our independence now, those of us who survive genocide under occupation would later be thrown into the meat grinder of russia’s imperial conquests against other sovereign states.

Übrigens:

Mit dem heutigen Urteil gegen Frau #LePen wurde weder das Ende der Demokratie noch das Ende der Rechtsextremen eingeleitet.

Der Rechtsstaat hat das gemacht, was Rechtsstaaten machen:

Straftäter verurteilt. Punkt.

On this day, three years ago in Mariupol—just days before the russians began turning a peaceful city of almost half a million residents into a massive cemetery.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

When I was a bookseller I was the science fiction and fantasy buyer for the shop and a customer told me all about this one day. I ordered all her available books immediately. I’m not doing a “I never liked him anyway” but I’ve been a bit “Is he though?” about Gaiman ever since.

Here portrait of
Shirin Ebadi, Iranian Nobel laureate, writer, teacher and founder of the Defenders of Human Rights Center in Iran. First woman in history of Iranian justice to have served as a judge
"Whenever women protest and ask for their rights, they are silenced with the argument that the laws are justified under Islam. It is an unfounded argument. It is not Islam at fault, but rather the patriarchal culture that uses its own interpretations to justify whatever it wants."
