God, I'm so disgusted by this country sometimes. There's already an open political discussion about sending refugees back to Syria. WTF. I had a long conversation with a mother from Ukraine after German politicans discussed sending people back to Ukraine earlier this year. Her child is in my son's class. You have to be an absolute monster to not see what those discussions do to people who try to build a new life here after the entire family has been brutally traumatized.

TIL that Mastodon enforces "noreferrer" on all external links. It never appears in your stats and maybe that's one of the reasons why it didn't catch on with people & orgs who actually rely on such stats. I agree with @npub1x595...gect here. I have mixed feelings about it:

Climate science communication is in a really bad place. People are too numb, overwhelmed and bombarded with shit. Yet, the message needs to get across. I found this new angle quite interesting. (unfortunately only in German) What's already locked in?

Maybe I’ve turned too soft and pragmatic, but I think that millions of people finally leave Twitter and don’t end up on Threads is a good thing. I wanted the Fediverse “to win” for a long time. I think the crypto VC money behind Bluesky is a huge red flag and will very like backfire. But I also think that it’s not in my control what people prefer and there are valid reasons why they prefer Bluesky, no matter if we like it or not.

I can’t describe the feeling to pretend that everything is ok in front of my kids to not scare them before school, while I burn with fear for their future inside. I just left them for four days to go to Berlin and that goodbye hurt so so much. I don’t see how the world should recover from this. I just really don’t. Maybe later, but not now. I feel so sorry for everyone in the US right now who voted for Harris. Especially those who will be most affected by Trump‘s policies. What a nightmare.
