Today I already smashed three paywalls with my favourite casual game:

1) Load a paywalled NYT article in the browser

2) Watch the progress bar grow until the text appears

3) Quickly cancel the loading before all pop-ups and restrictions can kick into gear

4) Too slow? Reload button = extra life

5) Cheat: Tor Browser's loading speed is your friend here :)

Happy Smashing! 💥⛏️

2011 I was in the middle of a weekly published #comics correspondence with a Japanese #mangaka, Matsuoka Waka, when the #Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster shocked the world.

Despite all the chaos, we decided to keep our exchange going. It was remarkable to watch Matsuoka-san’s cute manga characters pack their emergency backpacks to flee from radiation.

I am relieved beyond words that this weekend, the last German nuclear power plant went off the grid.

This I drew days after the catastrophe:

Actual flyer for yesterday's "Let's Make Our #Cemetery Beautiful" campaign in #Berlin.

It was pretty rainy, I hope the merrily dancing skeletons weren't too disappointed... 💀​🌧️​💀​

@matt must be people, street lights are more regular.

Und auf Deutsch, wer möchte, nochmal zum Hören:

Ilse Aichingers „Spiegelgeschichte“ (1949) – Formexperiment und emotionaler gut punch in einem.

CW: #Abtreibung

(Quelle: Vera Teichmann, DLF Kultur)

Finally found an English version of “Mirror Story”, a powerful and haunting short story about the consequences of #abortion bans by Austrian poet Ilse Aichinger.

Remarkably, time is completely reversed here: A woman raises from her deathbed, revisits her fatal illegal abortion, grows estranged from her boyfriend, turns into a child again and eventually gets born.

This should be required reading in every state with an #AbortionPillBan.

#TagdesWaldes meets #WorldPoetryDay:

die stille und das trübe kellerlicht
des walds am nachmittag. und keine bären,
auch wenn dort vorn die gelben tatzenspuren der blätter leuchten, die der ahorn legt.

[aus "waldstück" von Jan Wagner]
