“At times like this, all we can do is practice the world we’re trying to live in.”
(Quote taken from TeenVogue: Roe and Privacy Rights by Namrata Verghese)
And indeed, this is all we can do if we do not want to succumb to despair.
I am utterly disgusted by the inaction of my government towards the war in Ukraine – they are altogether abandoning any pretense to support the people there but focusing solely on economic gains.
Covid-19 is in the usual summer slump but far from over – the incidence rate in Cologne is at 210 right now; we can expect new viruses to emerge relatively soon.
And don’t get me started on the climate emergency – even though the danger is a little less immediate than the war, it is a much more significant threat to our planet and species. Just look up!
