X ist in westlichen Demokratien nichts (!) ohne die Präsenz westlicher Demokratien. Was ist so schwer daran, das zu verstehen, diesen winzigen Widerstand zu leisten und zu helfen, Musks MAGA-Einfluss auf uns einzudämmen?

Seit Monaten frage ich: Was muss noch passieren, damit deutsche Politik aufhört, bei X zu posten? Ausgerechnet dort kritisch zu den Ereignissen in den USA Stellung zu nehmen & der Ukraine Solidarität zuzusichern ist an Absurdität kaum zu überbieten. X nützt Musk & damit auch Trump & Co., remember?

I'm seeking proposals for an open-access Special Issue of 'Humanities' that I'm guest editing on the topic of 'Celibacy in Irish Women's Writing'!

Please share with interested colleagues/students and contact me directly if you've an idea for a submission.

Gleichzeitig zu alt und zu jung zu sein, das geht nur in der deutschen Wissenschaft.
