A good thread. Poles seem much more attached to family graves than Austrians on average (the cemetery nearest to my home in Salzburg is shrinking since years). I wonder what relation these displaced Poles kept or keep with graves in the lands they were displaced from.

Not quite correct for Poland. Should be „still“ or „yet“ - „…Poland is not lost…“

In the original (manuscript), it reads „tötlich“, not tödlich. I don’t think he made a spelling error there.
But how would you translate that into English?

Have a lovely 🇦🇹 National Day today, my fellow Austrians!

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

EU Member States have approved our 19th package of sanctions against Russia.

We’re keeping the pressure high on the aggressor.

For the first time we are hitting Russia’s gas sector - the heart of its war economy.

We will not relent until the people of Ukraine have a just and lasting peace.

We just adopted our 19th sanctions package.

It targets Russian banks, crypto exchanges, entities in India and China, among others.

The EU is curbing Russian diplomats’ movements to counter the attempts of destabilisation.

It is increasingly harder for Putin to fund this war.

On Tuesday, the #Conrad #Festival invited @danielwisser.bsky.social for a talk on his book about an MS patient, a piece of #radicalhope, indeed. Curious? So it made me. Will get to read „Die Königin der Berge“ as soon as possible.

Recent developments demonstrate how far #Russia is still away from a willingness for meaningful peace negotiations. Instead, Russia continues to attack energy infrastructure, cities & civilians. 1/2
