Today, I am reminded of Judith Butler’s words in their letter on Executive Order 14168 @lrb.co.uk: ‘powers who promise to strip rights from the most vulnerable people in the name of saving the nation, the natural order, the family, society or civilisation itself’. A dark day for the UK.

Ich hatte zwei tolles Tage auf der Konferenz ‘Alchemisches Wissen & praktisches Laborien’ in der Franckeschen Stiftungen. Das Zusammentreffen von Kolleg/innen, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Alchemie befassen, zeigte das Fruchtbarkeit der Zusammenarbeit. (weiteres Highlight = Wunderkammer!)

Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all?

Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

Snapshots from the Alte Pinakothek’s Rachel Ruysch exhibition — up close, the technical precision and inclusion of specimens that created amazing depth in Ruysch’s work was tangible. Brilliantly contextualised, engaging with the work of her father, sister Anna, and sottobosco’s of Van Schriek.
