When I still did research, it was on Reformation drama. Now I teach EngLit and try to write some, too. I like kissing stories and history, preferably in one package. Pseudonymous. Vegan. Pigoneer. Introvert. - No unsolicited DMs, please.
Ich persönlich arbeite Vollzeit, aber auf einer 75% Stelle.
Wenn ich eine volle Stelle hätte, wäre ich schnell bei 50-55 Stunden.
Dann würde ich das Rentenalter vermutlich nicht erreichen, sondern vorher aus den Latschen kippen. Ist wahrscheinlich eh der Plan.

Bundeswirtschaftsministerin: Katherina Reiche fordert höheres Rentenalter und weniger Teilzeit
Die Bundesministerin für Wirtschaft will Deutschland "zurück auf die Überholspur bringen". Dafür will sie auch Reformen umsetzen, die nicht im Koalitionsvertrag stehen.

Look guys: we had a presentation at our institute colloquium the other week from someone who was very eloquent and keen to talk to us about the usefulness of genAI for us as historians and academics and, having come out of that, I’m even less convinced than before, when I was already super-Luddite.

It’s been 6 days since we helped remove 80+ dogs from suspected dogfighting. Our team continues providing expert care—offering enrichment, treating wounds and simply sitting with dogs who need quiet companionship.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

I could not agree more!!!
If your story was written by AI, you didn’t actually write it, and that’s why I don’t want it or think it should be eligible for awards.

If your story was assisted by AI, you used tools that are built on plagiarism, and that’s why I don’t want it or think it should be eligible for awards.
