Earlier today I saw in America there's now a website that lets you research the books banned where you live and then it lists online sources for them and I think that's so brilliant - it's just like guerilla gardening only for books. 🌷

Every time I see a medical professional who isn't wearing a mask, I lose a little bit of confidence in them.
(I wonder sometimes whether they are aware of this.)

@npub1g0t…tvm4 That would mean a substantial shift in approach / attitudes here in Germany which are heavily qualifications-based & where there is little training-on-the-job (partly a result of our apprenticeship system).

"To me, a mask symbolizes intelligence and empathy. It symbolizes caution and safety. Air purifiers symbolize connection and solidarity. When I see them, I see someone who has my back."

There's an extraordinary interesting development in #German politics. Let me explain. 🧵
Germany's leftwing party 'Die Linke', was founded in 2007 through a merger of the socialist PDS (a direct successor of the East German ruling SED) & a split-off of SPD (SocDem) socialists.

Widely spread is the belief that #masks are just for your own protection. This goes so far that those who remove them (& with them consideration for others) consider it tolerant to accept the wearing of masks. "To each their own" soneone told me yesterday. "I don't mind you wearing one", a family member. This is not how public health works!!!

At a garden centre, I spent silly € on these overpriced seed bombs (don't tell anyone), bc I loved the idea. At home I thought, surely you can make 'em. Researched & ordered potter's earth & 5 boxes of seeds. Next week, I'm battle-ready for my personal floWAR 😉 Duck & cover!
