Does anybody have tips for good flannel shirts? I love the monochrome ones from Patagonia (this year they don’t have a model that is monochrome), but maybe someone has a brand they love that I don’t know about?

I graduated to the next bigger shirt size. Which also means that I need to invest in my wardrobe. There is just no hiding that fact anymore.

It was naive to think that the economic situation would not make a meaningful difference. I am prepared for a hard winter. But it might, it will get harder. As Ingeborg Bachmann so aptly said: “Es kommen härtere Tage” (There will be harder days).

twitterisgoinggreat.com finally took over the autocomplete spot of twitter itself. I’m not sad for twitter as a platform. It seemed like an attempt in solving an unsolvable moderation problem (that is: you can’t solve moderation, you can only manage it).

But it makes me sad and angry how employees are treated. I hate that we live in the era of the billionaire. And I feel weirdly proud of being a European citizen in which this shit could’ve never happened in this way.

Maybe it’s because I post more, maybe because I have followed more people recently, maybe because more people spend time away from twitter, maybe it’s the activitypub/mastodon integration: In any case I really enjoy my somewhat more active timeline recently.

MicroMonday

My MicroMonday this week goes to @Miraz who lives in New Zealand. I love the little slices of life we get when she posts a photo of her life and the nature that surrounds her. She is also helpful (see @custom), thoughtful and a great treasure to have in any micro.blog timeline.

At least I’m not going to sweat anytime soon.
