🔥: “In the 1940’s, Norwegians made & wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal & punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute…we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.”
The pattern was designed by a Minneapolis yarn store. All sales are going to local immigrant aid organizations. They've raised over $125,000 (!!!) since the knitting pattern was posted a few days ago.

In this thread I’m providing you links to the names of photographers who are on the ground with me, who I trust and like, and whose work I admire.

If you don’t like Instagram, I don’t really know what to tell you but there’s nothing I can do. Sorry. You’ll have to figure that one out on your own!

Da gerade (zu Recht) viel Empörung zu lesen ist über die Festname des 5-Jährigen in den USA, ein kleiner Reminder:

Letztes Jahr haben deutsche Polizisten ein 10-jähriges syrisches Mädchen aus ihrer Schule gezogen, um sie abzuschieben.

Mit ihr wurden 2025 über 3000 Minderjährige aus 🇩🇪 abgeschoben.

My f*cks have runneth dry,
I’ve tried to go f*ck shopping
But there’s no f*cks left to buy
I’ve no more f*cks to give,
Though more f*cks I’ve tried to get,
I’m over my f*ck budget and
I’m now in f*cking debt
