I thankfully never try to do such things on the fly, but even with preparation and notes this takes practice I would think

The main reason I always happily agree to cover someone's class and agreed to teach an entire course by myself next semester, despite how much it terrifies me, is that I believe (hope) teaching is something you can learn to be at least semi-good at, so here goes nothing in fall 2026 🫠

I really admire people who love teaching and are good at it, because whenever I cover a class for someone, I feel as if I turn into an unintelligible donkey, even on topics I should know inside out 🤷🏻‍♀️

With some comments from me ⤵️

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Safe travels!!

Take it from the guy with the white cap in the back, it was boring

In many ways a sad story, which I read as one about ambition, disappointments, rage, but above all, entitlement.

It's worth noting that the ongoing normalisation of remigration plans in Europe is happening at a time when the Trump administration has turned "remigration" into an official national policy objective, and we can all witness the violence and illegality that this entails.

Spoiler, but omg, a field trip to my home country to visit an aristocratic family's castle where they have the painting 'Schloss Neuschwanstein' by Hitler displayed in one of their rooms, it doesn't get more Austrian than that, I guess 😬

They're all so so good, but I think season 3 was my favourite one so far!

Me every Sunday at 9 pm when a new episode of 'Industry' drops and I mentally escape this world for a bit.

After 40 years, the Communist Party (KPÖ) managed to win a seat in the municipal council of St Pölten, the capital of Lower Austria, which reminds me I should continue working on my paper comparing the radical left and right in local elections..

Senate Democrats threaten to block DHS funding bill after another person killed in Minneapolis Some Democrats who voted for recent funding bills said they'll vote against any DHS bill without restrictions on enforcement operations. The deadline to avert a shutdown is Friday.

It took a second murder of a civilian for Senate Democrats to now "threaten to block" the DHS funding bill www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Here Are All the Democrats Who Voted to Keep Funding ICE Seven Democratic lawmakers are apparently fine with what ICE has been doing.

It's worth highlighting, again and again, that several House Democrats without a backbone voted alongside Republicans this week to approve the DHS funding bill, which funds ICE, among others.

Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’, per The Guardian

It really is that simple.

Some media, notorious for euphemising things, now state that "videos appear to contradict federal accounts".

No, they do not *appear* to contradict federal accounts, they contradict them, period.

One of the most enraging and frustrating parts of this whole situation is that mainstream media here reports the narratives and lies of DHS and the administration as if they were a reliable, measured source (which they obviously aren't)

And obviously, pretending that the Austrian People's Party is the party of the "centre" is laughable at best and delusional at worst

I don’t know if they intended to send a metaphorical message about the future of this party, but it surely fits. 3/

They equated the penguin who doesn't follow the colony with Chancellor Stocker, who neither follows the left nor the right but stays in the "centre".

What they failed to mention is that the lost penguin who doesn't follow his peers is heading towards his certain death. 2/

Because we all need something to laugh about these days: The Austrian People’s Party posted a reel, using a segment of a 20-year-old documentary about Antarctica featuring a penguin that doesn't follow the crowd. 1/

Zeigt gut, warum die Übernahme von FPÖ-Positionen problematisch ist.

1) weil es die Grenzen weiter verschiebt und FPÖ-Politik normalisiert
2) weil es der FPÖ nie weit genug geht und sie extremere Forderungen stellt

Ein Teufelskreis, immer auf Kosten der Menschenrechte und der liberalen Demokratie.

There was a guy wearing a "Freedom, guns, and beer" shirt in my Pilates class this morning, and I really thought I'd seen it all..

I'm really just so tired. And done with this country. And appalled by what's going on here.

Continuing with Cooper's "Family Values" and Butler's "Who's Afraid of Gender?"

Reading them alongside each other, because that makes sense to me for reasons I can't quite articulate yet.

Looks like this is part of a nationwide call to protest by PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation)
