This shot is from Brittany again. Usually we go there once a year, or to Corsica. But Corsica is a bit sad in late summer. Everything is so dried out and weary. Something always goes up in flames. Mostly forests. (Btw. so many people are so f_cking dumb, they don't even know that parking your heated car on long dry grass can make it go up in flames... like if you're ignorant :P) Anyway, Corsica is more beautiful in spring. And Brittany is more beautiful in late summer. However, maybe it is going to be Sweden after all, I don't know. It depends on where we find a house. I usually book the same house every year but the owner stopped inviting guests, probably because the house was a bit dirty and got a lot of bad reviews. Again, what the f_ck is wrong with all the Germans complaining about dirt in French houses?! Yes, man, get it in your head, a German brothel is cleaner than the average French apartment. So what?! If you care, don't go to France. We don't want you. Go put your towel some place else. Wah. Am I the only one who is so annoyed by my fellow statesmen? Honestly, if there are Germans at a beach, I rather get a sunburn than share the same nice shady spot and listen to German on my precious vacation days :-p Isn't it typically German to even complain about Germans though? However, finding them so annoying is also one of my top reasons to leave the country for any vacation and enjoy a 14hrs drive with the toddler and the big child. Are you going on vacation this year? Where?

I like to hide out on other social media platforms

I like to hide out on other social media platforms these days, blowing off steam with other moms. Boy, do we need yoga. I met a school girl's mom the other day. The girl's high-school teacher is broadcasting an astonishing 60 min chat each day called "morning circle". Afterwards she sends some exercise sheets via e-mail, which will never be corrected, except by the moms and dads, if they have the time and ability (most do not).
⁣
I have talked to about 50 mothers and fathers over the last few days, and this one is one of the better stories. In some cases, teachers aren't even reachable for days. They don't provide visual during lessens, claiming internet or other technical problems, or don't answer their phone and mails. For reasons of "digital safety" many don't want to review their students' homework.
⁣
Every single one of those 50 moms ensured me that they would sign just about any thinkable waiver, to improve online classes for their kids. They do not care about "safety" in the least. And even if safety was a real issue, how the f_ck can it not be solved in 3 months? I would not accept this, if my kid was in school.
⁣
And I apologize in advance, if this hurts teachers who ARE "risking" whatever possible safety/juristictional claims, who are getting creative about their schedule and teaching. I hope that you are all well and that this is over sooner than later! I feel you, parents. I feel you, nice teachers. But I really think that this kind of stuff needs to improve in the future. This system and the people it is built on - it has to grow the f_ck up.

I want to say »Thank you!« at this point again.

I want to say »Thank you!« at this point again. To everyone who directly supported me and my family during the last few weeks with nice comments, helpful messages, a tolerant attitude and even with buying masks from my Etsy store! As sarcastic and assholish I can be, I really mean it, thanks, people! It did help! Also I hope I can be a bit more active here now... I was just stuffed with work. Also, I want to stay, I still don't get it how people can be critical and judgemental towards scientists asking questions, much more and rather than towards the media (wtf, really?)... My favorite rule (I don't always stick to it but I try to) is "Ask, don't assume." If one is not capable of that, I don't really care anymore how right they are tbh. It's about respect (by content, bit by tone) and I truly believe that friendship and even online "friendship" should survive a scientific disagreement. How many of those have I had in my career? It's the most common thing in a scientist's life 😀 ! So: I'm happy you're all here! xoxo

Möchte allen noch mal Danke sagen für die Unterstützung. Nicht nur fürs Masken kaufen, was uns echt geholfen hat, sondern auch für alle konstruktiven, hilfreichen Nachrichten, v.a. von denen, die tolerant und fair argumentiert haben. Ich muss sagen, mir ist mittlerweile echt egal, wie recht jemand hat, wenn derjenige einem selbst nicht mal den "benefit of the doubt" einräumt, und sich die Mühe macht, nachzufragen. Ich mache das auch nicht immer, aber ich versuche es. Inhaltliche Verständnisunterschiede und Diskussionen darüber, welche Interpretation die beste ist, sind in der wiss. Community langweiliger Alltag. Wenn an sowas Freundschaften eingehen (und wenn es auch nur online ist), finde ich das schade, und ein Armutszeugnis. Leitmedien und Politik verzeiht man jeden Fehltritt, aber wer sich kritisch äußert, für den gilt eine andere Messlatte. Verdrehte Welt! Ich bin froh, Leute hier kennen gelernt zu haben, für die die Diskussion etwas Gutes ist, und die das ertragen können. xoxo

Sorry, I've been away... I've been looking into a lot of data and also work and life and all. I hope you're well, y'all... Let me know how you are if you like. How has your lockdown been going? How is life going? What's next for you after this thing is finally over?

I've made a few masks, even though I don't support wearing them in most everyday situations. But it helps many people psychologically, and if you work somewhere where other humans are involved, masks are now mandatory in Germany. For my family it means a bit extra income and I am so grateful for that! For every single purchase! 💙💛 Thank you guys!

Ich habe ein paar Masken gemacht, auch wenn ich diese nicht unterstütze als Maßnahme für den Alltag. Aber es hilft psychomäßig vielen Leuten und wenn man mit Menschen arbeitet, ist es ja nun Pflicht. Für uns ist es ein kleines Extraeinkommen und ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle bei allen bedanken, die uns durch ihren Einkauf unterstützt haben! 💙💛 Ab Morgen gibt es neue. Die Bändchen sind unterwegs. (Link zu meinem Etsy Shops findet ihr im Profil)
