Finds irritierend, dass bei Streiks oft geschrieben wird, es werde eine Lohnerhöhung gefordert. Tatsächlich geht es aber sehr oft vielmehr um eine Inflationsanpassung zwecks Beibehaltung des Reallohns. Das ist ein großer Unterschied. Leute streiken nämlich oft, damit sie nicht weniger verdienen.

Fresh snow covering all the icy patches on the pavement. Love a good Berlin winter where all the streets are cleared but no one cares about cyclists or pedestrians.

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Never knew how satisfying it is to mend a hole in a knitted garment. Today I fixed my gloves, my red cashmere beanie and a jumper.

Es ist so absolut absurd sich vor einer Woche über die vielen Krankheitstage der arbeitenden Bevölkerung zu beschweren und nur eine Woche später die Teilzeit abschaffen zu wollen, die für viele das Arbeitsleben gesundheitlich überhaupt irgendwie handelbar macht. Wie dumm sind die eigentlich alle?

Decided to go #birding today. Earlyish start around 8:30. home by 2:30pm. Walked over 10km around Pichelswerder and over to Schildhorn. Did not see any smew (sadly) but lots of little grebe and goldeneye and these fellows. The hours in nature grounded me & took away the inner restlessness.

Last performance of #TwelfthNight at the #Barbican tonight. Thank you @the-rsc.bsky.social for brining this wonderful production to London. Each (of the 4) performance I saw was so special. Some a bit quieter than others but in each one you could feel the 🖤💛 that went into this production!

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Settle-Carlisle railway. The Ribblehead Viaduct is one of the most iconic pieces of Victorian railway engineering in the UK, carrying the Settle–Carlisle line across Batty Moss.

‘I fell in love with him on the spot’: Alan Rickman remembered, 10 years after his death
On the anniversary of his death aged 69, stars from Sigourney Weaver to Sharleen Spiteri, Tom Felton to Harriet Walter, remember the wit, charm and endless generosity of one of Britain’s best-loved actors

I've been knitting these tiny sophie scarves non stop since 2022. And I think by now almost everyone of my friends who wanted one has one. If not: let me know. I have a lot of leftover yarn to knit striped ones now. Calling this one "traffic cone":
