Diary on a weary world

Musings, observations, thoughts, disbelief, hope and wonderings.
Astrid Lindgren, Erich Kästner and many others kept what ended up being their war diaries. This is mine.

Title inspiration: "Lullaby for a weary world" - Julia Ecklar
I might or might not have spontaneously built a tiny mini-pond for insects and and the newt I randomly found in the garden the other day.
Gardening is a far happier thing than following politics.
And nobody is going to use their day off tomorrow to get plants for it. Or are they?

What I see: a happy garden full of flowers, both wild and not wild, insects and birds.
What we've occasionally been told: that it's a garden full of weeds that need to be removed.

Dandelions and suchlike are such important flowers for pollinators. Whyever do they have such a bad reputation?

Das Pflaumenbäumchen geht direkt zu grünen Blättern über - aber das Wildpfläumchen, das wir aus einem Beet eingesammelt und eingetopft haben, das hat dieses Jahr geblüht! Es steht in seinem Topf in einem wilden Vorgarten irgendwo im nördlichen Westfalen :-)

I have the urge to voice my disbelief that all those experiences and follow-up thoughts are out there, yet people actively choose to discard of what used to be common values and become the actual reallife villains. And many of us don't think anything of it.

No shit, Sherlock.
Quite seriously - how blind could people possibly be to not see what is happening right in front of them? And it's not like the orange man is easy to overlook.

May there be plenty more such companies, and hopefully at one point, leaders of countries, that will actually stand up to the bully.
