Was kauft ihr in größeren Mengen als andere?

Das Wasser, welches ich trinke. Anstatt das in Plastik- oder Glasflaschen zu kaufen und wöchentlich in meine Wohnung zu schleppen, nutze ich ich einfach die Pipelines, die zu mir in die Wohnung gelegt wurden. Das spart Lagerfläche, Verpackung, und Energie für Transport und Recycling.

Außerdem schmeckt das bei uns besser als aus der Flasche.

To ALL trans folk

A friend of mine had a party for her official gender change last year and I was so happy for her!

Just knowing she felt safe to come out in front of her family and friends and was able to start HRT and change her gender marker in official documents felt like a huge success. Not just for her, but for progressive politics in our country.

What Daniel Radcliffe has said as JK Rowling said she will ‘not forgive’ him and he can ‘save his apology’

I just felt that her character has always been to advocate for the most vulnerable members of society. The problem is that there’s a disagreement over who’s the most vulnerable. -Evanna Lynch

This in itself wouldn't be a problem though, right? You can be an advocate to one group and not want to "cancel" another. But she goes all in on the Anti-Trans-Rights narrative and is less public about just women's rights.

German Chancellor Frederich Merz's speech in Davos

Reply in thread

He continuously questions the wellfare state of Germany, which most of us are very proud of. Unemployment benefits will get stricter rules. He says 14.5 sick days per worker and year are an unacceptably high number and we should ask ourselves if that is really necessary. He calls immigrants a problem for our cityscapes. Every foreign visit he went on he insulted the host country in some other way. He and his party argue for reactivation of our nuclear power plants for "cheap" energy, but all the former operators of those plants say it would be uneconomical or downright impossible to do and thr kWh would be way more expensive than renewables. They also ask Germany and the german economy to be "open for different technologies" when it comes to the decarbonising the country but the race has been won by BEV and heat pumps, no amount of H2 research will change that. He calls himself upper middle class despite having a private plane and multiple houses, the money for which he earned in his time at BlackRock. Nobody wanted him in any official office he held. He lacks enpathy. He lacks kindness. He lacks leadership. He lacks a vision of the future.
