@lysander07@sigmoid.socialAre you kidding me? 3.40 Euros for a single Espresso?? This was the last time ever at Costa Coffee (Karlsruhe main Station). … Feels like a tourist trap as e.g. Venice, Piazza San Marco…but without Venice ;-)

@aredridel@kolektiva.socialReminder: public protest is about visibility, not hiding. The power comes from people being willing to be visible, put their time on the line, and if needed, their bodies.
If you're going to start shit, maybe just ... don't. Direct action of the illegal sort requires careful planning and a tactical and strategic plan for why it will win. It happens sometimes, but it's not the mode, it's not the mode of the No Kings protests. This is a popular, public demonstration of outrage. It's legal (for now, and I hope, ever).
Yes, the police may try to kettle protesters and then trap them into curfew violations in places that have curfews. Masks won't save us from that where it happens. Just running the system with competent representation (and enough bodies to make it A Problem for the system) will.
We don't all need to be masked vigilantes at protests, and in a lot of cases, we need to be worried about the people masking up and starting shit. Remember that this is our opponents current tactic: masked, violent attacks. Don't look like them.

@laimis@mstdn.social @berlinbuzzwords@floss.socialWe all perform tasks in our day-to-day work that are considered 'non-promotable' – these are crucial for project success, but they won't get you promoted. This is commonly known as 'glue work', a term coined by Tanya Reilly. Join Fatima Taj at this year's Berlin Buzzwords as she shares her personal experience of narrowly avoiding the trap of being permanently stuck with glue work, and explains how to handle similar situations.

@ErikJonker@mastodon.socialEens!
“Want nu hebben de Europeanen die altijd claimen dat ze de rules-based internationale orde steunen, exact het omgekeerde gedaan. Precies op een moment waarop veel landen het internationale recht uit het raam gooien, geven zij het een trap na. Wat rest, is de rauwe macht van individuele landen die zich nergens meer iets van aantrekken.”

@sanderium@social.linux.pizzaI like how this new mall near my home closed one of it main halls/corridors to put shops.
They were like: " Those halls make people transit way to efficiently, lets close them off, put shops and trap more people inside the mall."
