"Erst in der Weimarer Republik werden Fahrzeuge, Briefkästen und Telefonzellen der Post einheitlich gelb. Nach 1933 wechselt dann die Farbe [...]. Um alle Spuren von Hitler-Deutschland im öffentlichen Leben zu tilgen, verordnen die Alliierten 1946 die Rückkehr zum althergebrachten Gelb."

Jesus bleeding Christ Welp

In many ways, as a fandom journalist and longtime youthful Remus/Sirius shipper, I'm the perfect person to write substantively (critically) about the 7-figure deal for the viral Marauders fic All The Young Dudes. But alas, I will instead be in the corner whispering "Wolf Boy" over and over again.

Wenn Wissenschaft falsch abbiegt: Wir beobachten die Rückkehr verrückter Eugenik-Ideen. Die Epstein-Files zeigen, welche düsteren Gedanken hinter verschlossenen Türen zirkulieren.

Vincent Kompany has always been one of my favorite players on and off the pitch. Such an impressive player, citizen, and Mensch. Watch this phenomenal speech and reflection on racism in soccer, the Vini Jr. case, the Mourinho's response, etc. He speaks in English. ❤️

If you're using Amazon Affiliates you may have noticed that some books, specifically erotic and erotic romance titles, are no longer eligible for affiliate income. @iheartsapphfic.bsky.social noticed this and wrote a full explainer as to what's going on. Y'all remember #AmazonFail?

Unregulierte KI-Konzerne ruinieren das offene Ökosystem: „Now major news publishers are actively blocking the Internet Archive—one of the most important cultural preservation projects on the internet—because they’re worried AI companies might use it as a sneaky “backdoor” to access their content.“

Ich wünschte, es wäre nicht zu meiner Zeit geschehen. Wie J.R.R. Tolkiens ›Herr der Ringe‹ heute Mut machen kann. Der Auftakt zu der deutschlandweiten Veranstaltungsreihe ›Selbstverteidigung, literarisch‹ findet am 10.2. (19 Uhr) @dnb-aktuelles.bsky.social statt: www.dla-marbach.de/presse/press...

It was starting to occur to me that Dr. Mensah might actually be an intrepid galactic explorer, even if she didn’t look like the ones on the entertainment feed.

The great German publishing story of Heated Rivalry. 🤗

Possibly I should just stop complaining like a human and get on with it.

I had zero interest in watching Marty Supreme, but this essay by @naomialderman.bsky.social has completely changed my mind. On Jewishness, fury, survival. (Also, in a way, anti-Zionist.) naomialderman.substack.com/p/look-at-me...

Yes, talk to Murderbot about its feelings. The idea was so painful I dropped to 97 percent efficiency.

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Thank you for sharing, @christl.bsky.social. The story isn’t just about Greg, but all of you who have reached out to him and DreamHaven Books. If you’ve been trying to order books from them, or you did order this weekend — watch this and feel good. ✊🏽

Friends, please take a moment and read this piece by poet, children's book author (and fellow South High grad - go Tigers!) Bao Phi. It's wonderful and moving and necessary. time.com/7345628/anti...

I like this article a lot, and the line "When these characters cook for each other, the implications are strictly emotional" got me square in the chest.

It's Epiphany, which means it's time for Cuddling Kings in Medieval art
