As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

Me out buying groceries. Must eat healthy and I have meal plans in mind.
Me at home later… Why are there no snacks? What do you mean I have to cook? Who wanted salad? 😊

Your Brain May Have a Spoon’s Worth of Microplastics by Greg Hughes - Rattle: Poetry
<p>In the hospital, my stepfather wakes. They ask him who is president. Well, what year is it? he jokes, as if there will never be a time he won’t remember,</p>

Leider ist diese Drohung nicht neu, siehe #attac oder #campact.
Diese Proteste sind keine Wahlempfehlung. Sie verteidigen die demokratischen Grundwerte unserer Gesellschaft - genau so geht Gemeinnützigkeit! Ob Herr #merz auch dem Gemeinwohl dienen möchte, ist mehr als fraglich.

Merz-kritische Demonstrationen: Union warnt gemeinnützige Vereine vor "Stimmungsmache" gegen Merz
Zu Demonstrationen, bei denen die CDU und Merz kritisiert wurden, riefen auch Organisationen auf, die Fördergelder erhalten. Der Unionsfraktionsvize stellt das infrage.

IMO there's one core thing Trump wants to achieve that isn't mentioned enough (although we all know about it!) during this days of chaos:
he wants to sell his image as "dealmaker", as someone who actually changes things.
It doesn't matter if the changes will be good or bad.

“A controversial campaign pledge to enact big, universal tariffs that would transform the global-trade system and usher in American prosperity has been whittled down to a set of hollow threats designed to extract mostly symbolic concessions from America’s neighbors.”
The Tariffs Were Never Real
Donald Trump does not appear eager to follow through on one of his biggest campaign promises.

Erinnert mich sehr an die Worte von Herrn #Merz, was ich da gerade las: „Ich empfand das als Unglück, selbst wenn es unvermeidlich und notwendig war. Doch dem Unglück haben wir uns zu stellen; [...] den Kopf in den Sand zu stecken ist niemals eine angemessene Reaktion.“

"Du weißt wo die Brücke ist."
"Ja."
"Also, was ist?"
Sein Blick wanderte langsam aufwärts, von seinen Füßen und dem schmalen Pfad darunter, zu den massigen Betonpfeilern und der Fahrbahn darüber. "Sie ist sehr hoch."
"Genau darum geht es ja, oder?"

Bought this during a London trip with our English major class, in 2002 I think 🙃 It deeply affected me.
Found it in the seemingly oldest and most cramped second hand book store ever (like ever!) around Camden Lock Market (I believe).
What's your #bookmemories ? Would love to hear about them!

Coffee and filters just ran out simultaneously. But because I restocked both last week, I can now experience the joy of opening a new bag of coffee, to be used with an untouched box of filters. Sometimes the universe is poetic 😋
