Was mich echt frustriert in meinem Job: Wie viele Kolleg*innen der Ansicht sind, dass sie das Recht haben, unsere erwachsenen Klient*innen erziehen und somit "verbessern" zu dürfen. Das betrifft vor allem jene Klient*innen, die sich nur schwer ausdrücken oder sich schlecht abgrenzen und durchsetzen können.
Und es existiert bei vielen Kolleg*innen kein Bewusstsein für diese Übergriffigkeit, wenn ich sie darauf anspreche.
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office issued an indictment against war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and 35 others over the 2025 attack on the Global Sumud aid flotilla to Gaza.
Prosecutors are seeking aggravated life sentences and lengthy prison terms on charges including genocide, crimes against humanity, and other grave attacks.
The case stems from an incident in international waters, where Israeli forces intercepted the flotilla, detained activists, and seized the vessels.

Doing Impressions: Monet’s Early Caricatures (ca. late 1850s)
"At the age of fifteen, Claude Monet was, by his own account, one of the most successful artists in Le Havre. Crowds would gather in the Norman port city to gawk at the pictures he sold through a framing shop: not paintings of haystacks or of the sea or water lilies, but slightly cruel caricatures of local bigwigs and minor celebrities."

Keep in mind I'm native Dutch, can converse in English like a native, know a little less German, and even worse French.
I don't always have it running, but at least the option is there.
Ich hab das Buch #WennEsNichtPassiert von @skalabyrinth #kürzlich zu Ende gelesen.
Gutes Buch! 👍
Hab grad gar nicht so viel dazu zu sagen außer: dadurch, dass du @SPBuchsatz und @khzimmer2 (im #impressum ) erwähnst , fühltes sich ein bisschen wie #Klassentreffen (positiv!) an:

Eine Studie aus Indien zeigt, dass bei Lebendspenden von Organen (in Indien) Frauen 80% der Spendendem ausmachen, Männer jedoch 80% der Empfangenden sind.
Und, wieso überrascht mich das nicht?

Ich finde übrigens:
Dass Haiti heute für uns nur noch Fußnote ist, lässt ahnen, wie das Urteil kommender Generationen über uns ausfallen wird.
Europa hat eine besondere Verantwortung uA (und aber im Fall von Frankreich ganz besonders) für das Schicksal der Menschen in Haiti. Dem Land wurde nämlich in einer Weise übel mitgespielt, die selbst für unsere europäischen Verhältnisse außergewöhnlich perfide ist.

Following my post on why I’m skipping the proprietary "Little Snitch" port for Linux, I spent Saturday evening watching the "invisible conversation" between my family’s idle devices and Big Tech servers. Even with no one actively online, the telemetry never stops.
The receipts are now on the blog:

When those responsible for #Israel's current situation are held accountable, the opposition plays a major role. Yair Lapid's creation of a "[hasbara]" war room signals that the war is supported by EVERYONE, and opposition is only found in #IRAN
Gideon Levy: "[...] Joining the current campaign of hate are many Jews, mainly young ones. The Israeli defense mechanism which brands every criticism as antisemitism is at a loss. Jews can't be tagged with that label. At most, they are "self-haters." Jewish students at Harvard know what genocide and warmongering are, and with their own eyes they saw how the country that wishes to adopt them as its subjects has committed such acts. They want to sever the link between them and the country they are identified with. There needs to be another way to defend ourselves against Jews of conscience who have had it with the mother state."

Israelis, Quick to Call Americans 'Selfish' While Crying About Their Own Victimhood, Are Not Willing to Admit That Most Jews Feel Ashamed of Israel.Gideon Levy (Haaretz)
"There’s no greys, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is."
"It’s a lot more complicated than that -"
"No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts."

My fediverse home since 2018 is closing in 10 days. So I'm moving into this neighbourhood!
I'm a civil servant working in web accessibility. I love baking, cycling, nature, afternoon naps.
I read Discworld novels every night before I go to bed. Chronological order, this time. Now reading The Truth.

12th Apr 2026. How does being a writer influence your life outside of the work?
Well, I have to admit, I often ask people when I have research questions and cannot find answers to them elsewhere.
Or I see things, behaviours or people, or hear about experiences and then think, "Well, that's interesting. I might use something like that in a story someday".
And then I take notes so that I don't forget about it.
