I was born on the day of Europe - the 9th of May 1987 🇪🇺
I was born into a EU that had been built from the ruins of war on a promise for peace, freedom, and democracy. Today, we face many challenges.
We have to fight for a common future. Together.

@lportwoodstacer Hanya Yanagihara's "To Paradise." Was drawn so deeply into it that I felt I had to take a pause. But will enjoy returning! Stunning narrative and good narrators as well.
To the young woman who gave me a chocolate and nut bar so she could interrupt the man talking endlessly at me on the late night train, I thank you for your kindness and solidarity.
Die Jury des @mediummagazin hat mich unter die Journalist*innen des Jahres 2022 im Bereich Wissenschaft gewählt.
Das ist eine schöne Anerkennung meiner Arbeit, aber um ehrlich zu sein: Es fällt mir schwer, mich darüber zu freuen 🧵 #jdj2022
Last night I captured one of my best images to date. Probably the single most important event in a Guillemot's life. Unable to yet fly, a 3-week-old chick leaps off the cliff, following its dad who will teach it how to fend for itself out at sea over the coming weeks.
I don't know if this is helpful to parents of younger kids, but my 18yo just told me that I had taken the 3 of them into my office after Sandy Hook ten years ago and told them what happened and what I thought. I don't remember doing that. So, I asked him what I said. 1/
I do not want to read a single profile of the shooter. Enough.
Nothing will allow us to predict which of the many, many troubled young man will turn to a mass shooter. Zero public interest in the individual details.
It’s the access to the deadly gun that’s the key. That’s it.
who knows that their child has not survived because the parent hasn't been reunited with their child. Only this parent can tell -- by look, by the way a parent knows -- which body is his or her child's. And that is what is happening. "Shooting" sounds too benign. 3/3
My tia did not make it, she sacrificed herself protecting the kids in her classroom, i beg of you to keep my family including all of her family in y’all’s prayers , IRMA GARCIA IS HER NAME and she died a HERO. she was loved by many and will truly be missed.❤️🔥
This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.
My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻
