A beautiful, still, clear morning in #Berlin – and green ! The green is back 🌱 Happy Greenday everyone 😊 #Photography #Photo #Fotografie #Foto #PhonePhoto #PhonePhotography

Nut butters are only healthy because of all the exercise it takes to mix the oil back in every time it separates 😉

🥰 a clear spring evening in #Berlin

#NyushaTheCat giving those happy, purry, soft #Sunday vibes as she came to bed last night 🥰 #Cat #Cats #Katze

And @spiegel.de is publishing this in English, but not behind their paywall. So I guess they think it adds to the 🤦‍♂️. Which it does.

Happy #Caturday from #AlbeeTheCat, enjoying the sunrise this morning 😊☀️ #Cat #Cats #Katze

I haven’t seen this covered really – but @abaerbock.diplo.de gets straight to the point here and leads the way 👍 Where Germany goes, Europe will too?

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

I wish she was staying in office – but 👍

Apple shareholders voted to keep the tech giant's DEI policies on Tuesday. Tim Cook said Apple’s "strength has always come from hiring the very best people and then providing a culture of collaboration, one where people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives come together to innovate."

In the German elections, despite the headlines, AfD did worse than they hoped. SPD also did much worse than expected, possibly because of close relations with centre-right CDU (equivalent to UK's Tories). I voted Green/Die Linke and so am happy with the result. It could have been way worse.

My silver lining for the German election results is that #DieLinke now have the largest vote share in #Berlin (😊) . Although we have two cities in one : the outskirts are mostly CDU and AfD (😕) . I hope this carries through to the next city elections 🤞 #btw2025

We no longer need to wonder if Russia is interfering in foreign elections, since the US is doing their job for them

A gentle reminder on an important day for Germany

Short and to the point.

Have written about JD Vance’s Munich speech. In what may prove to be the biggest week for European security since 1991, it’s time Europe listened to what Trump and his Vice President are telling us. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

I would like European leaders to join together in one voice and tell JD Vance to fuck off. And then fuck off some more. And keep fucking off until he can go no further, and then fuck off a bit more than that.

“Pistorius is my valentine” #overheardatMSC2025

If one thing is going to make me feel extremely proud to be European, it’s a US government nazi spewing lies about us when he visits.

Should I be grateful that this year #AppleFitness is once again celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth ? What •was• normal can no longer be taken for granted. #Apple #DEI

And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders. The rubicon has been crossed.

Movie + popcorn night tonight with @eliotlovell.bsky.social . Watching the popcorn cook is always fun! :)

“We are in a spiritual war right now.”

Seeing that Department of Defence schools in Germany have begun removing materials that relate to LGBT themes, DEI and migration.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is on startlingly good form once again: "for those of us who instinctively tilt towards subtlety and gradation, it’s time to stop nuance mongering and call Nazi salutes, purges and forced removal of people for what they are." @mrhenrymorris.bsky.social

This is exactly right. In the overseas media (UK for instance) the overwhelming focus on the crazed Gaza Trump press conference, much less about the coup on the constitution. ‘Owning Gaza’ is the brick through the window. Musk’s illegal gutting of agencies is the dynamite in the basement

I’ve decided (realised!) that #Running in icy temperatures is doubly difficult when you have #Asthma 🤪 #Run #Runner #RunSky

#NyushaTheCat enjoys her fresh new cat litter. Well … the bag 😊 #Cat #Cats #Katze

We're all collectively in a societal bystander effect as we watch Elon Musk and Trump collapse the United States and no one is doing anything about it. Everyone just expects someone else to do something. Everyone is that someone now. The only offramp now is physical mass mobilization in DC.

With what’s happening in the US now, I felt huge amounts of extra love for the #Berghain in #Berlin today – where #Diversity #Equality and #Inclusivity are baked into its soul. I’m so, so grateful to be here 🙏 #Techno #Club 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏴

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

For those unaware, in 1933, the first major Nazi book burning was of the first 30 years of research into trans and queer people, far before the concentration camps. Now, Trump has digitally burned the government's research on the same. hmd.org.uk/resource/6-m...

I’ll take this to mean that with all of my #StrengthTraining, my #Running clothes just can keep up with the new #Muscles 😉 #NikeFail / #Runner #Run #RunSky

Interesting how UK trains have the plug socket above the heater, so that your phone charger can gently toast itself a little more than it would normally. Experience the thrill of overheating without the hassle of buying a cheapie charger online!

Wonderful #ClimateChange substack by @katharinehayhoe.com No single person or solution can solve the climate crisis – and sadly The Trump is against anything that's not oil or gas – but it doesn't mean hope is lost.
