Ich behaupte, die damit - inklusive der absehbaren existenziellen Auswirkungen - herbeigeführte Krise von Menschen, die nicht lückenlos handlungsfähig sind, was die seriöse Abwicklung ihres Alltags angeht, wird unter den Verfechtern dieses Vorgehens unverhohlen als erwünschter Nebeneffekt gesehen. ☠️

Amitav Ghosh? Gerald Murnane?

Guessing who will win the Nobel Prize in literature is not an American ritual, but in Sweden — where the laureate will be announced Thursday — it’s prime fodder for press speculation and cocktail party chatter.

Which writer will win the Nobel? The literati have some guesses.

Amitov Ghosh? Gerald Murnane? The truth will be revealed on Thursday.

Long before “A Room of One’s Own,” Virginia Woolf wrote a trio of fairy tales about a woman named Violet.

This early experimental fiction, rediscovered in 2018, is now being published for the first time, showing Woolf in a startling new light.

Das „Gehen“ braucht Unterstützung. Aus dem eigenen Umfeld, aber im Idealfall auch von qualifizierten Beratungs- und Anlaufstellen.
Es ist meist nicht nur die Frage ob, sondern auch wie, wann und wohin.

Wenn Ihr übrigens Frauen gewalttätiger Männer erklärt, dass sie doch einfach gehen können:

Die Trennung ist der Moment, in dem solche Männer völlig austicken.
Weil sie die Kontrolle verlieren.

Ich hatte damals Todesangst.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Seit meiner Doktorarbeit 2013 beschäftige ich mich mit der Medizin im Nationalsozialismus und ihrer Erinnerungskultur, d.h. wer erinnert sich in welchen Kontexten auf welche Weise an bestimmte Verbrechen, verfolgte oder belastete Personen. Und wie ändert sich diese Erinnerung über die Jahrzehnte.

The #rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can’t be found.
Ernest Hemingway

This is a close-up photograph of two bright red, berry-like fruits, rose hips, against a soft, green background.
The fruits are round to ovoid, plump, and deeply saturated in color. The one in the foreground is clearly visible, while the one behind it is slightly out of focus and appears to have a small dewdrop or droplet of water hanging from its bottom edge. They are attached to a short, green stem.
The fruits emerge from a darker, thorny, woody stem that runs diagonally through the image. The stem has several sharp thorns. Fine strands of what looks like spider silk or thin webs are visible between the stems and the fruit, catching the light.
The background is a bokeh of bright, muted green and yellow-green, suggesting a natural, outdoor setting, possibly in the late summer or autumn. The overall lighting is bright, highlighting the texture and color of the rose hips.

I'm also reminded of the "whistleblower" report about abuses at a Missouri gender clinic, the author of which is now just a full-time anti-transgender lobbyist, that fell apart the moment any reporter tried to verify it

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.
