Oh yeah absolutely. But I also can't properly talk in my native language anymore, at least not philosophy.

German speaking friends, please help me out. How would you translate Marilyn Frye's "double bind" into German? I found "Doppelbindung", "Zwickmühle", but that both sounds profoundly wrong to me. Any ideas?

My mum used to do this with my sister and me when we were a bit older/Kindergarten age, I once cleaned the entire kitchen floor as a ''game'' 😅 (i don't blame her, and I genuinely did have fun)

Picture of a building facade. It's an old building with visible brickwork and all 12 windows are filled in with bricks. It's windowless.

Almost a fifth of England’s rural bus services have vanished in the past five years Such areas received about half the extra funding per capita than urban areas, according to county council analysis

The amount of times people write my name as Kleiber instead of Klieber is so significant that it almost feels like I should change my last name to just make it easier on myself
