Wenn Menschen sagen, dass sie meine Texte gelesen haben, ist die Reaktion meist 1 Mischung aus Freude, Panik und Imposter-Syndrom, wobei die Freude natürlich überwiegt. Wenn Ihr Texte von Forschys lest, die Ihr im besten Fall auch gut findet, sagt es ihnen – unbedingt! 🫶 Gilt auch für gute Lehre. 💜

Really interesting to unpick the details of Froebels words @helwasmuth.bsky.social - thanks to Jane too for hosting and adding such insightful reflections - love the human/ humane consideration @froebeltrust.bsky.social - see you all in Erfurt!

Just hope this is not true. If it is, unbelievably sad. What a great scholar

What a despicable comment from his press secretary. Jose Padilla is a convicted terrorist.

Und wie wunderbar, das Du am Ende auf Janusz Korczak verweist!

Thank you @froebeltrust.bsky.social for another fascinating webinar @helwasmuth.bsky.social Looking forward to connecting with and reconnecting with fellow Froebelians in Erfurt @intfroebelsociety.bsky.social

And now I have to think about changing humane to human…
See you in Erfurt, and thanks for coming

Thanks for coming, Marcella. Our conversations inspired much of what I talked about today!

I feel like getting the phrase “George W. Trump” trending on social media is all it would take to deter him from going to war with Iran

this is going to be an unpopular take but this is 1000000000% bait, this is 1000000000% vance intentionally driving far right traffic to this website, this is 1000000000% implicit brigading (surely to Musk's great joy), and therefore you should 1000000000% not take the aforementioned incoming bait

Two more days! I think there are still some open spots. I will talk about one of #Froebel 's most important letters, and share some new ideas on what Froebel pedagogy means today for the #ECEC profession.

After stumbling up plane stairs and dropping his papers, confusing Justin Trudeau with Stephen Harper and the UK with the EU, the elderly, confused Trump is going home early to rest, using unhinged threats to declare war against Iran as cover.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend”

Reading this for the first time since reading James while thinking about how I’ll teach both of them together next fall (opening w this in September) is making this a fun/layered reading experience.

Trump's civil war And our new birth of freedom

"Earlier this week Donald Trump called for a second civil war at a US military base. This scenario can be resisted and prevented, if we have the courage to listen, interpret, and act. And this Saturday we will have the occasion to act."

Webinar: Freedom with Guidance with Dr Helge Wasmuth

Hope to see many of you at this free Froebel Trust Webinar. I will speak a little bit about translating Froebel, his idea of children's "helplessness" (aka Freedom with guidance), and its relevance for today's practice.

Episode 78 -- Project 1933, Part III: May 1 to May 31 Podcast Episode · In Bed With The Right · 05/28/2025 · 1h 35m

The podcast I always recommend to my American colleagues (and wish they would listen to). Another fantastic episode. Just finished the fabulous "Time's Echo", so can't wait to hear what you found out about Richard Strauss.
But don't forget the Thomas Mann episode!

„Mediale Schmierenkomödie“: Mächtige Männer als Opfer der „Wokeness“ Precht, Nuhr, Poschardt: Sie hören nicht auf, darüber zu klagen, was man alles nicht mehr sagen darf. Das könnte lustig sein, wenn‘s nicht so tragisch wäre.

Deutsche Eliten (Lanz, Precht, Poschardt, Nuhr, Palmer) inszenieren mal wieder die Debatte um "Meinungsfreiheit".

In meinem Text für @uebermedien.de beschäftige ich mich mit dem Phänomen der "Machtvergessenheit", das hier zum Ausdruck kommt (€)

Thread.

As Trump and Musk are mad at each other, let's remember this doesn't mean they and their supporters - the MAGA ethno-nationalists vs the far-right tech anarcho-libertarians - aren't exactly who we thought they were: Exactly as dangerous, as ridiculous, as rabidly opposed to egalitarian democracy.

Today is my last day at Georgetown.

After 18 years of teaching history, and 12 years as a full-time professor in Germany and the U.S., it’s the end of my university career.

I will now try to make it as an independent writer and commentator - which is exciting and terrifying. Stick with me, please!
