You're not drowning because you can't swim. You're drowning because they drained the pool and sold your swimming lessons. Your struggle isn't a personal failure, it's a systemic one.

Ich geh mal Plastik von meiner Bio-Gurke abfummeln damit ich diesen dann in den Plastik-Recycle-Sack packen kann.

Komm mit zum Filmband und diskutiere mit uns über das Wettingen von Morgen. #wettingen #spaargau

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

Schande @edadfae.bsky.social #savegaza

Nothing makes you feel your age quite like getting annoyed at your holiday rental's slow hob ruining your cooking timing 🙃

Wir könnten am 14. Juni auch einfach weiter demonstrieren und am 15. Einen stellvertretenden March for Gaza machen 🍉💜 #frauenstreik2025

If you capture a boat carrying baby formula, you are the dark side of humanity.

If your religion accepts starving babies, it isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Das wäre doch jetzt mal was wo alle Marsch fürs Läbe-Teilnehmenden sich mit organisieren könnten. #savethechildren

Happy Worker‘s Day 1. Mai 💪

Feminist Rant des Tages „Sonderprivilegien“ wie Frauenhäuser oder Quoten existieren, weil die Gesellschaft bestimmte Gruppen historisch ausgeschlossen oder benachteiligt hat. Das ist keine Bevorzugung, das ist wiederherstellende Gerechtigkeit.

As a sociologist, here’s my question: If you want to burn Teslas but not Harry Potter books… ask yourself why. In this episode of The Scenic Route, we unpack the UK Supreme Court ruling that tries to reduce womanhood to chromosomes—and the billionaire ‚feminist’ backing it.

"Nothing happened. So why do I feel this way?" Because your body remembers what your mind tried to override. That's the weight we carry.

Here's the thing about inner peace – it's not about having your shit together. It's about being okay when it's scattered everywhere. Yours, who has been there.

Wer ist Schuld an der Ausländerkriminalität? Meine Schwiegermutter! Weil mir die Debatte über die sog. "Ausländerkriminalität" ziemlich auf die Nerven geht, ein kurzer Blog zur Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik und dem Hauptgrund für Gewalt: Männer und Männlichkeit. cedricwermuth.ch/wer-ist-schu...

I'm on #NonprofitRadio with @tonymart.bsky.social this week! Learn more & listen in: tony.ma/NonprofitRad... Thank you for having me, Tony!

Why I like April Fools Day? It’s one of the few days in the year where people slow down enough to process things they read and think critically.

Your favourite Sociologist goes into Politics 😉🙌 SP-Kandidatin für den Einwohnerrat Wettingen, 28.9.2025 #spaargau #sp

As a Sociologist, I need to tell you that empathy isn’t passive. It’s not just witnessing pain or joy—it’s feeling it absorb into you.

U know whats wild? Getting tagged in conference reports from attendees saying the best thing they heard/learned were my words on ‚your focus is your resistance‘. Funny thing though: I wasnt at this conference in any shape or form. Credit and pay your experts and inspirations.

K, I am obsessed with @netflix.com new show ‚With Love, Meghan‘. It‘s so wholesome, soft, airy and joyful. And it comes at the perfect time.

"People who have joy are very difficult to control." Ever wondered why mentioning you're vegan can clear a room faster than a fire alarm? In this week's episode, philosopher Matthew Halteman and I flip the script on everything you thought you knew about veganism.

Yesterday on Radio SRF1: ‚Why does our government choose to focus on budget cuts and not the current security threats coming from unstable alliances?‘

Wieso überrascht mich dies bei Nepo-Daddy Dieth so überhaupt nicht?

Linke Haltungen gleichsetzen mit psychischer Erkrankung. Das ist nicht nur für einen möglichen Kanzler eine völlig disqualifizierende Aussage, das ist rechtsextreme Rhetorik, auf dem Rücken erkrankter Menschen. Er ist gefährlich - ohne Übertreibung. Bitter, wenn er doch Kanzler werden sollte.

Die Menschen sind bereits erschöpft - jetzt wollen SVP, FDP und Mitte noch mehr aus uns heraus pressen. Wir stemmen uns mit aller Kraft gegen mehr Sonntagsarbeit und längere Arbeitstage. @spschweiz.ch www.nzz.ch/schweiz/sonn...

Das ist übrigens ein (zumindest vermeintliches) Zitat von Napoleon Bonaparte. Der letzte Rechte, der das zitierte war Terrorist Anders Breivik in seinem Nazi-Manifest "2083" (S. 673). Breivik ermordente 2011 77 Menschen, vor allem Jungsozialist:innen.

Roses are red, Violets are free — No patriarch's rules Can define what we'll be. Their moral grounds decay, While love blooms untamed In a thousand new ways.

🧵 I'm 40, I rent, and I have credit card debt. Feeling "behind" in life? First, You are not alone — Second, This sociologist needs you to know this deep in your bones ⬇️

Thoughts in Empathy Inspired by the work of Martha Nussbaum If you can choose who (or what) to deeply care about — this isn’t real empathy. It just isn’t a switch you can turn off/on. Most of us are stuck in the shallow end, thinking we've explored the whole ocean.

As a Sociologist, I need to tell you…. traditional values are astroturfed cultural propaganda masking economic exploitation 1/10

Einen Funken Trost finde ich in der Tatsache, dass Faschismus von Menschen gemacht wird und somit auch von Menschen zerstört werden kann.

🧵 As a Sociologist, I need to tell you how Nationalism is fascism's breeding ground. And to understand how fascism takes root, you need to see how nationalism quietly shapes our world through stories we mistake for "ancient tradition" (1/12)

Die Frauen aus der Mitte «interessieren sich für andere Departemente» und das «VBS ist schwierig für sie» – sry Markus Ritter schon disqualifiziert. Oops. 🥴 #diemitte #schweiz

„The world outside is burning with a brand new light But it isn't one that makes me feel warm Don't go mistaking your house burning down for the dawn“ — Frank Turner

Wicked problems resist simple solutions. That's the hard truth about society's biggest challenges Complex problems have: Multiple root causes Competing stakeholder interests No clear endpoint Solutions that create new problems

„You‘re so funny.“ Thanks, my family told me to start smoking so I‘d loose weight.

As a Sociologist, I need to tell you the chaos cascade (200+ exec orders) isn't dysfunction — it's disaster capitalism's playbook. your confusion = their strategy.

Elon Musk threw up the Third Reich salute. Twice. And no - don't blame it on him being neurodivergent. At this point, I'd sell my Tesla. The real question: when will startup and entrepreneur bros finally stop worshipping their idol?

'Aggrieved entitlement' perfectly explains this moment - when privileged men feel their automatic right to power threatened, they often respond with what Michael Kimmel calls 'restorative masculinity politics.'

The mediocrity of white men in power

As a Sociologist, I need to tell you… 🧵 The "War on Obesity" isn't about health - let's break down why.

🧵 "As a sociologist, I need to tell you..." The way Meghan Markle gets endless hate isn't random. It's actually a perfect case study of how society attacks anyone who challenges multiple power structures at once. Let me break this down...

The personal growth paradox: what hurts now, heals forever.

Oh no, the market is regulating itself. Consuming less alcohol is a good thing — this might be an unpopular take — alas, it is. Maybe bars and clubs could offer cool alcoholfree drinks and stuff, you know? How revolutionary 🥴

As a sociologist, I need to tell you why nothing feels good enough anymore. We're all chasing digital highs while feeling emptier than ever. Welcome to the Dopamine Economy.

There is nothing rich white men can’t ruin if they get their hands on it.

As a sociologist, I need to point out: billionaires embracing authoritarian rhetoric isn't surprising - it's the logical endpoint of late-stage capitalism. Let's examine why power concentrates this way.

How are we surprised that billionaires jump in to support fascists? We not, babes, we not.
