For the FES, I wrote a short brief about how mainstream party strategies have fueled far-right success. They move toward more anti-immigration positions to win voters back. This does not work, but shifts public opinion to the right. Parties then react to shifts in public opinion. A vicious cycle.

2025 war das Jahr, wo #Israel den Siedlungsbau in der Westbank so stark vorangetrieben hat wie noch nie. Mein Versuch, das zu visualisieren und zu zeigen, was das für die Palästinenser vor Ort bedeutet:

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

I feel you
How do people with kids get anything done, ever?
I’m serious, whenever I see someone roughly my age accomplish anything these days, first thing I do is check whether they have kids. Written a book? Cool. Written a book *while having kids*? You’re a GOD.

Liebe Feminist:innen aus Österreich, der Frauenstreik in Island gelang, weil alle gemeinsam handelten.

Es geht nicht um Alter, Stil oder Unterschiede – nur um Solidarität.

Wenn wir stark sein wollen, müssen wir interne Gräben schließen. Veränderung braucht uns alle.

Kurz persönlich: Ich empfinde es als sehr angenehm, bei einem Medium arbeiten zu können, das tagelangen Aufwand für solche Verfahren hinnimmt, ohne zu wissen, ob und was schlussendlich herauskommt. Dass die Richterin mir größtenteils recht gegeben hat, freut mich dann noch zusätzlich sehr. :)
Fast sechs Jahre, nachdem die Covid-19-Pandemie ausgebrochen ist, wird öffentlich, was die Vorarlberger Landesregierung lieber geheim gehalten hätte: Wer die Wirtschaftshilfen in Millionenhöhe bekommen hat.

Und wer waren die Spitzenreiter? Betriebe in Lech am Arlberg.
Betriebe im Nobel-Skiort Lech profitierten von Vorarlbergs Covid-Hilfen am meisten
Fünf Jahre nach Pandemie-Ausbruch werden die Empfänger der Vorarlberger Wirtschaftshilfen in der Höhe von 15 Millionen Euro öffentlich – DER STANDARD hat die Information vor Gericht erkämpft
