Never heard of it, and Google shows me websites from bakeries all over the place. Maybe it’s a new invention because they can’t call these things baguettes?

Definitely!

A Google search for the word „Singlette“ shows three pictures of a sort of baguette in various iterations and a fourth picture of a woman in some sort of figure-shaping lingerie

Someone from Germany please explain, to a French speaker, what in the world this means.

Sign for name of sandwich reading “Singlette Pute” found in Bavaria. Ingredients listed in German.

Thinking about it Herodotus already has some weird opinions about „Ethiopians“, so

I think you answered your own question there (but tbh yes I thought more of modern travel lit, starting with enlightenment guys like Forster etc.)

Jeff Goldblum running out of a store with a bunch of shopping bags in his hand. He's dressed fashionably in a tan jacket, black shirt, gray trousers, and black loafers.

Der Bitterfelder Weg hatte ja noch mehr Probleme

Guys Arbeiterliteratur isn’t just socialist realist propaganda, it’s B.Traven, Ousmane Sembène, Raymond Williams,…

Robert Heinze @rheinze.bsky.social · 7h

Arbeiterliteratur is good and we should revive socialist programs to get workers to write

(I still have a whole shelf of Kapuściński books tbh. And Chatwin)

Es gab nicht nur Bräunig im Bitterfelder Weg, mit dem man dann ein Problem kriegte. Rummelplatz ist ja schon seit einer Weile wieder aufgelegt, ich kann’s nur empfehlen. Arbeiterliteratur gab’s übrigens auch im Westen.

(If you want my real hot take: every single work of travel literature is racist. No exceptions)

Ich meine das gar nicht witzig, sondern ernst. Dass das natürlich für Propaganda genutzt wurde ist klar, aber Rummelplatz ist halt eben auch der Beweis, dass da Besseres (vor allem Kritisches) produziert wurde und einer Demokratie eine solche Förderung gut täte

Fantastic piece by Kate Murphy responding to the devastating change of policy at the @BBC Written Archives Centre, which will make it impossible to undertake new independent research using the collection. cstonline.net/defending-th... #mediahistory

DEFENDING THE WAC: RECOVERING THE INVISIBLE WOMEN OF THE BBC by Kate Murphy

My first visit to the BBC’s Written Archives Centre was in 2002. I was working as a producer on Woman’s Hourand had applied for a three-month attachment to what was then the Diversity Centre…

Auf jeden Fall Werner Bräunig, Rummelplatz!

They were so successful that socialist states had to get rid of the very writers they produced
