For years I saw this car in my neighborhood, assuming its owner simply attached some pre-printed ornamental foil.

Then one day recently, I saw this young lady squatting in front of it, edding marker in hand, carefully adding line for line.

And I realized: the whole sprawling floral madness of sea-horses, algae and jellyfish is completely handmade!

Kudos, unknown neighbor – this is what determination looks like.

On the bright side, it's June now and that means years of yearning and longing are over: in a few weeks I will be able to see again!

I have some research to do there for my comics project, especially on the eastern coast (Seyðisfjörður, Borgarfjörður Eystri). *And* some serious catching up with my favourite place on Earth.

It's been too long and I'm getting excited!

Gentrification - 

Went to see the finale in a spot that for years rightfully called itself “the cheapest bar in town on the cheapest street in town“ – just to learn that they will have to close end of June.
in still going strong, still weakening subcultures. :-(

@chpietsch As a side note, there is a surprisingly excellent comics adaptation by Ari Folman and David Polonsky.

Granted, literary comics adaptations are usually hideous and opportunistic creatures, but what a suprise to find this vibrant, three-dimensional portray making room for her acerbic humor, feminist anger and anthropological insights.

It is also available in German by S. Fischer.

I've read it with children age 9 - 12 and they are fascinated, amused, shocked, haunted.

toxic masculinity, sui 

What do we mean when we say "toxic masculinity"?

I saw, and to my shame participated in, teaching these toxic aspects of masculinity as a teenager. It has left me very aware of their poisonous impact on our whole culture.

This comic explains in a very clear and heartbreaking way:

Ich so zur Grundschultochter auf dem Comicfestival:

„Okay, such dir *einen* Comic aus. Die Halle ist groß, nimm nicht das Erstbeste, nimm was, das dich wirklich interessiert.“

Tochter so:

How to explain Berlin's Comic Invasion Festival to tech geeks 

“ [s]Well it's booths and talks and discussions...[/s] ”

“ [s]Picture an open world version of Kickstarter's [i]Comics and Illustration[/i] tab...[/s]”

“Okay, it's like re:publica, but without the Bundeswehr. And no 200 Euro paywall. But lots of comics.”

So support your local indie comix culture and drop by!
Last chance today, open til 7 pm.

@strypey In any case I would recommend to already switching to apps like Thunderbird, Firefox or the LibreOffice suite before she makes the jump, so that there are small islets of familiarity from the get-go. That helps!

@strypey I haven't used PureOS yet, but it looks like both distros are valid choices.

Being used to , PureOS looks a little less polished, but I heard that you can import your iTunes library without much hassle.

Elementary otoh tries to deliver a terminal-free experience. So you get notifications when there are updates and you can install them via the AppCenter GUI.

Also, if you install elementary tweaks there's an option to make windows look more OSX-like.
