WTF 🤬 AfD-Verbot jetzt!
In dem Video ist zu sehen, wie ein erwachsener Mann Jugendliche drangsaliert, bedroht und körperlich angreift. Er tritt nach ihnen, zieht einen Jugendlichen am Ohr und zwingt zwei von ihnen, eine auf dem Boden liegende Deutschlandfahne abzulecken. Die Jugendlichen wirken

This makes me so sad and furious
9 December 1942 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Florence Vigevino, was born in The Hague.

In February 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz with her mother Mietje. They were murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Wenn Academia einfach nur ein Job ist, warum fällt es dann nicht unter das gleiche Arbeitsrecht wie jeder andere Job?

This is the unfortunate reality in German academia. Most scholars have to drop out, but usually they are not welcome in other places. If you're an international researcher (this is my case), the situation is even more tough & options for employment outside of science are very [extremely] limited.
German academia: great place to work? You should think twice before giving it a try: Permanent positions are very rare, most scholars have to drop out after some precarious years. @dianakwon.bsky.social has written a great piece about this for @nature.com and also talked to yours truly. #IchBinHanna
How to stop the revolving door of German academia
Germany is one of the most popular destinations for students and scholars worldwide, but those pursuing academic careers face significant hurdles to success.

@florianurban.bsky.social found for our book Form Follows Fuel that it's v hard to get #embodiedenergy figures for buildings today. #embodiedcarbon is widespread, yet it's much less clear, and more vulnerable to distortion. Here's our argument:

Is embodied carbon a vanity metric?
With ambitions for regenerative architecture increasing, it is vitally important that we measure the right things in trying to get there, say Barnabas Calder and Florian Urban

March 1969, Chen Wanli and his wife committed suicide at home. They were among the persecuted intellectuals in the Cultural Revolution. My latest paper traces Chen’s career from medicine, photography, archaeology to the museum, showing precarity and resilience of museum professionals in 20-C China.

Wenn man die Arbeitszeit erhöht und parallel die Pflegestufe 1 streichen will, ist das Ziel übrigens recht offensichtlich, dass Frauen wieder in traditionelle Rollenverhältnisse gedrängt werden sollen.
