#posterpit #A #F #H for fans of Heather Fawcett and T. Kingfisher, Macarons and Monsters follows a neurodivergent anthropology student terrified of fairies who discovers her sweet tooth and self-acceptance in Paris. What will scare her more: eldritch horrors or academia’s systems of oppression?

In Deutschland passiert exakt, wovor Robert Habeck gewarnt hat.
In USA passiert exakt, wovor Hillary Clinton und Kamala Harris gewarnt haben.
Aber die strunzdummen Wähler - aufgestachelt durch Rechte Medien - ignorieren das und wählen lieber Inkompetenz, Rassismus, Korruption.

The so-called Leader of the Free World is proudly signalling his intent to commit open-and-shut defintional genocide against one of the world's oldest civilisations. There is no equivocation to disguise how disgustingly evil this is, and any politician who remains silent before it is irredeemable.

White House proposes 23% cut to NASA budget, prioritizes moon missions The White House is proposing $18.8 billion for NASA's fiscal year 2027 budget, reducing science funding while prioritizing moon missions.

As four astronauts are flying to the moon, the White House released a budget proposal that would slash NASA funding by 23%.

The budget supports the agency's moon missions, but it seeks to cut science and space station funding.

Für alle, die es immer noch nicht wahrhaben wollen:

Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland marschiert im Schatten der US Faschisten stramm in Richtung einer faschistischen Oligarchie.

Und Bundeskanzler Friedrich #Merz ist derjenige, der dabei den Takt angibt!

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

Jahrelang haben wir in der Schule & in Filmen gelernt, wie die Nazis an die Macht kamen & wie man das verhindern hätte können.

Und jetzt sind die Nazis wieder da, Millionen protestieren, aber jetzt sei es falsch, ein Verbotsverfahren zu fordern oder radikal, sie nicht in Talkshows sehen zu wollen.

Lange hieß es, Soziolog*innen, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaftler*innen würden am Ende nur noch Taxi fahren können.

Jetzt wissen wir, die Entwertung dieser Fächer hatte oft andere, ideologische Gründe. Wir sind ein zentraler Bestandteil der Erhaltung einer Demokratie.
