Ich habe das während der Diss mehrfach für Freunde mit Katze in Berlin gemacht. Am zu diesen Freunden und der Katze gehörenden Küchentisch habe ich richtig gut geschrieben und wenn ich spontan eine Pause brauchte, stand die Stadt zur Verfügung.

You are not imagining this. At my Dutch university, we have a hiring freeze (with some exceptions) in anticipation of the budget cuts that the Dutch government has announced

A crowd of protesters in Groningen with signs that say “I brought a tractor to show how angry we are” and a torn sign that says “onderwijs?” To signify the damage the budget cuts would do to education

En ook de derde dag van de estafettestaking in het Hoger Onderwijs, vandaag in Nijmegen, is een groot succes. Het rode vierkant van #WOinActie wappert aan de toren, en duizenden studenten, docenten, wetenschappers en sympathisanten protesteren tegen de aangekondigde bezuinigingen. #DoeHetNiet

Dutch universities go on strike - for the first time since anyone can remember. We protest the treatment and budget cuts of our extreme-right government. The strikers take turns - and Leiden university kicks off tomorrow. ✊🏼

Ich musste mich erst ranarbeiten, um länger als 1-2 Stunden auf ihm auszuhalten. Aber jetzt ist er toll und ich will nie mehr einen normalen Stuhl. Man braucht dann aber auch einen höheren oder höhenverstellbaren Schreibtisch (bei mir ein billiger von IKEA). Das Ausleihen hat mich überzeugt!

So many things are so awful these days. As but a small counterpoint, I want to share a few pieces of writing by students (including former students of mine) that have delighted me in the past two weeks or so.
