Once again glad to be posting on the most resilient social network in the world (several computers in france rented from a guy named hugo)

More of this, please. Also, for those of you who have been asking what the point of the #nokings protests is: among many other things, this is. It's no coincidence that this letter was published two days after seven million people got off their asses to protest against Trump. More Republicans […]

Was ich ja bei der Selbstauskunft beim GrippeWeb des @RKI (meldet Euch dort an! http://grippeweb.bund.de) sympathisch finde, ist, dass bei den Kindern abgefragt wird ob sie in der vergangenen Woche in der Schule waren und wenn ja wieviele Tage. #InfluenzaIsNotOver #CovidIsNotOver

Das Kölner Ausländeramt nimmt Geflüchteten ihre Handys ab – und gibt sie nicht mehr zurück. Offiziell sollen die Geräte Hinweise auf die Herkunft der Betroffenen liefern. Doch für die bedeutet das oft den Verlust ihres wichtigsten Kommunikationsmittels. 1/x […]

Dass Merz Mädchen, die Opfer sexueller Gewalt wurden (nebenbei: ausgeübt üblicherweise von Partnern, Verwandten, Lehrern etc.), in rhetorische Geiselhaft nimmt für seine rassistischen Hassbotschaften, ist wirklich auf so unglaublich vielen Ebenen ekelhaft! Jeden Tag ein neues moralisches Tief!

The children got their Covid booster... the paediatrician's office forgot to add me... so I got my flu shot instead because they are still working with the 6-dose vials... oh well. They were so patient with the kiddo that doesn't like syringes. And all their windows were tilted. #CovidIsNotOver […]

the thing about costumes at #nokings, esp for us in small towns, is that it becomes MUCH more socially difficult for Trumpists to harass us without looking completely deranged you get a guy shouting slurs at someone in a Cookie Monster costume and you can hear his kids in the back seat asking […]

I've been a litigator for nearly four decades. This is a horseshit move. Defendants get to choose their own lawyer. Prosecutors may move to oust James Comey’s defense lawyer - POLITICO https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/19/james-comey-lawyer-criminal-case-00615102

#YallMasking on weekends? I took the kids and one of their friends to an indoor trampoline park. It is in an old warehouse or stable... CO2 was at ~1600ppm (room was full) but would dip any time someone would open the door.... Theoretically they could have great […] [Original post on mas.to]

I've gotten lots of notes from people today about 2 potential space debris falls. One looks like a Chinese rocket stage that fell on Australia (https://nitter.net/RaviHJagtiani/status/1979900950199386410 and https://satobs.org/seesat/Oct-2025/0078.html) And one is a suspiciously high altitude […]

The 11yo enjoyed the local fair a lot. They are currently spending their Sunday morning writing a business plan for a stand that will pay for itself AND also have good prizes and be fun.

Das Kind ist vom 6. bis 10. Oktober ins Schullandheim gefahren(alles 6te Klassen). Das Kind war in einem 8er (!) Zimmer.

Of course it's heartening when mainstream publications cover COVID with reasonable accuracy. But I'm interested in how children can find out about COVID. Because eventually they will, and they won't be pleased. #ScienceOfReading www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
