Mina's Collection

Just a random collection of things I like or dislike, including but not limited to: politics, science, geeky stuff, beautiful things, culture etc - basically stuff I care about or I like to share and discuss. Main language is English, but there's also plenty of stuff in Spanish and German. The bum in the photo is not mine (wish it were) and neither is the gun.

Grusel-Kurzgeschichten

Dies sind die Minigeschichten, die ich unter dem Hashtag #GruselKurzgeschichte im Fediversum veröffentlicht habe. Bei Mastodon stehen 500 Zeichen pro Beitrag zur Verfügung. Abzüglich des Hashtags und zweier Leerzeilen bleiben 477 Zeichen übrig. Das ist ein strenges Korsett und es ist eine echte Herausforderung, so kurze Geschichten zu schreiben. Natürlich ist das ein Mitmach-Hashtag. Das heißt,…

Tax the Rich!

Are you making less than 1,000€ per day on your financial investments?

If not, it makes sense for you to sign the European intiative for taxing great wealth.

Have you already signed?
