Friends, this is fascinating. Watch Bluesky take off in real time! This platform is exploding in the good sense, while twitter appears to be doing the same in the negative sense.

History at UOW is indeed awesome and is not going to be cut. Please sign this petition to protect Languages there (which probably will go, which is a shame).

Found this interesting mini-series, about three sisters living through the collapse of the GDR and the fall of the Berlin Wall, lurking on Binge under the rather uninformative title of “Berlin Wall”
