On one my photos from our vacation in the #schwarzwald I saw donation infos.
As we were without signal there I just took a photo - and forgot about it. 🙈

For me, if they say I have to use Chrome I extend a middle finger, delete the site if bookmarked and go elsewhere.

Day 17 (oops; a bit early): Angie Thomas
Can hardly believe it's taken me this long to get to Thomas, and I haven't even read "The Hate You Give" which is probably her most popular book. I did read "Concrete Rose" and was duly blown away by her craft: the use of vernacular, the love she has for the community she writes about, the honesty with which she grapples with the bleak details of the setting, and her stubborn and inescapable portrayal of a human being where our society has taught us to see only perpetrators and victims. CW for family member death and gun violence that I can think of; it's not light reading.
As the parent of two children, Thomas' descriptions of baby care ring true, and drew me into the book more than any other factor, and her vision of a positive masculinity among so much pain is breathtaking. "Concrete Rose" is a brilliant novel, and Thomas richly deserves a spot on this list.

Gestern bin ich auf "The Disintegration Loops" von William Basinski gestoßen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjnAE5go9dI
Heute ist der 11. September, und zieht Euch bitte den Wikipedia-Artikel zu den Disintegration Loops rein (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Disintegration_Loops). Wahnsinn!
Auszug:
Basinski finished the project the morning of the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, and sat on the roof of his apartment building in Brooklyn with friends as the World Trade Center collapsed. He filmed the fallout during the last hour of daylight from a roof, and the following morning he played "Disintegration Loop 1.1" as a soundtrack to the aftermath. Stills from the video were used as the covers for the set of four CDs, and several weeks later Basinski dedicated the work to the victims in a postscript in the liner notes. He said that "the events gave new meaning to the musical pieces created by catastrophic decay in my studio a few weeks before."

I saw snippets of this “interview,” how much more does it need to remove Trump from the office as he is clearly unfit? It's much more than “I don’t care.” He won’t face any consequences as he will most probably be declared not responsible for his actions due to his mental-medical status. I just hope someone took the red button away from him and they only let him play with golden Lego bricks all day long

Native language aside, I cannot imagine myself speaking like Rich Roll.
“ The opposite of anger. Gratitude. I mean, if anger is driven by a sense of righteousness at having been wronged in some level of victimhood that is kind of underscored with fear, gratitude is a sense of the universe being abundant and that life is made of good things and possibility.”

Rest day - wife wanted to visit the sports shop again (where we brought the hiking shoes). This time I bought a new #hiking trouser as mine starts to show signs of its age slowly...
This vacation starts to be expensive 🤔
But I admit that I thought about getting a new trouser since quite a while anyways.

This is the start of our Christmas baking. Doesn't include the spices, vanilla, milk, butter, cream, eggs, and the ground meats for our meat pies.
When done around 6 old school fruit cakes, 9 meat pies, and 51 tins of cookies, squares, candy, and cakes. Part of it goes to work and family. Anyone visiting during the Christmas season will get stuffed.
It brings back memories of mom, aunts, and grandmother baking for Christmas. It is also very relaxing as I can beat the crap o…
