David Bowie. I still miss him a lot. I usually don’t even really know the names and faces of bands I like, and I wasn’t even a big knower of his music, but when I heard he died I cried non stop for a day and a night. He was really something else, this crazy force, changing the whole discourse in music and stardom multiple times in his life. What an awe inspiring character. I wonder who could ever take his place, really.
Germany’s foreign ministry said on Saturday it is “deeply concerned” about the situation in Gaza, and that the offensive “could put the lives of the remaining hostages, including those of German hostages, in danger”.
Saw another post about an arrest of a pro-P Feddit mod, and generally about DE siding with Israel to bizzarre/dystopic lengths. Didn’t know they had hostages in the mix as well. Could that be a reason? Relying on Israel force to get them freed? Hm. *format edit
dunno how it is where you live but gardening collectives are a great place to meet a lot of different folks (no class distinctions in the garden, i always say), get some rewarding exercise and fresh air, and often free fruits and veggies that taste so much better than store-bought stuff. i also improved my language skills significantly when i joined one in a foreign country! older ladies (the larger demographic i encountered) are always happy and patient to help you practice.
