Und das hier. Weil ich überall lese, Oberleitungen können nur manuell enteist werden – und das einfach nicht stimmt:

The small joys of life: Polarlichter über Berlin. #auroraborealis

It is time for the American people, across the political spectrum, to recognize what is happening.

America has a rogue president and a rogue administration, and we need to acknowledge that and respond.

”This is the dollboy‘s first rule
Appear always chic and elegant“

— Gay Berlin: Birthplace of a modern identity, by Robert Beachy (quoting the folksong Berlin dollboys, which was first published in ’Lieder aus dem Rinnstein‘ in 1905)

Rules of the game:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Turn to page 42
- Find the 2nd sentence
- Post the sentence in a toot with the hashtag & write the rules as a comment to it
- Don't look for your favourite, coolest or wittiest book. Go for the closest.

@ivory For some reason, the “copy link to post” and “open link to post” in my Ivory keep changing and it’s driving me 🍌 - both Ivory and iOS are current, stable versions. Known issue?

Watching the WordPress desaster unfold reminds me why I am so wary about power.

At some point you find yourself surrounded by people convinced that you are right, and you start paying more attention to those convictions. Dissenting voices fade away, become obscure, and the clusterfuck is just a question of time.

The corrupting power of power, I guess?

Ich bin kein großer Fan von Berufsverboten, oder Gewalt, aber für die Planer des BER würde ich Ausnahmen machen.

We would love to have your support! Our kickstarter campaign is here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/youthpolicy/youth-direct-a-youth-led-documentary

We are at 10% already. Help us to get to 100 if you can 🥳 Thank you!

We have written a little more deeply about our motivation for kick-starting a youth-led, participatory documentary about youth movements here:

https://www.youthpolicy.org/articles/youth-media-journalism/its-time-for-a-youth-led-documentary

We are sooooo tired of sweeping generalisations about young people. It's time for young people to tell their own stories, in their own words, through their own lens.

Here are four examples of Time Magazine cover pages over the years about "young people" to illustrate what we mean:

Helsinki Flughafen, zwei Deutsche schimpfen wie die Rohrspatzen: der Flughafen sei unübersichtlich, und „die Laufwege, also ehrlich 😡“ — Und fliegen nach Berlin 😂🤦🏼

I swear to god I am *this* close moving to Vienna. #berlinsucksonathousandlevels

Tim Berners-Lee sees a new paradigm emerging, “one that places individuals’ intention rather than attention at the heart of business models”, driven by a new generation of pioneering entrepreneurs and communities that serve and empower us all – Mastodon among them:

Oh how I hope you are right, Tim! Let’s dismantle the enshittified, monopolised web.

Redoing https://www.youthpolicy.org was utterly joyful, but one decision was really, really hard: to leave WordPress behind. We now use Craft, https://github.com/craftcms, but with a heavy heart. WordPress has become too convoluted and is heavily stuck between its roots and its ambitions. I have used WordPress since their early days, and all our and my other sites still run on it. But Craft is a joy to use, even for a complex site, and we might – over time – transition all our sites over.
