I love Germany. It is a great country. But there are still things that my mind cannot comprehend.
Like imagine a young couple with a kid. The kid is going to kindergarten. No relatives in a country. No money for private child care (granny).
This is my situation btw.
I am working. My spouse isn't. She wants to work.
Problem 1:
- The kindergarten is closing at 15:30. Meaning she/me must finish at 15:00 and run to the kindergarten.
Alright, maybe working part-time is an option? Maybe.
Problem 2:
- The kindergarten has vacations.
E.g. in my case, there was a winter vacation for 2 weeks and right now the summer vacation is upcoming for 2 more weeks.
Meaning there is no other option but someone have to take the vacation. On the same date as kindergarten is closed. On the same date when it is vacations in the school. It ends on the same day as in the school => half of German families is flying back to Germany.
Meaning you are mandatory to take your vacations EXACTLY ON THESE DAYS. Meaning that Kindergarten is dictating you on when you will take your vacation.
Freedom of choice, yeah.
Problem 3:
- Any morning you may wake up to the message: hey we are understuffed today, please keep your kid at home. In some kindergartens they just ask you. In some they really deny kids from entering the kindergarten that day.
Just no comments. Imagine you both working and then one day one of you must stay home.
Problem 4:
- If something happens in the kindergarten, e.g. kid vomit (and this happens!) - there is mandatory 2 days break because it could be an infection.
=> You have to take care of the kid at home => you have to take vacation days for it.
I love Germany yes but I do not understand why children daycare is dictating on how should we take our vacation days. You obviously may take it on other days. But then who will take care of kids on these days when the kindergarten is closed? Yes, you, but as unpaid vacation.
And btw I pay for the kindergarten, it is not free in my region.
P.S. Our kindergarten is great and people there are super lovely! My son absolutely loves going there!
Çok güzel fırsat. Doktoranızı 2016 ve sonrasında aldıysanız ve üniversite bünyesinde çalışıyorsanız Lego Vakfı bugün yeni bir fellowship başvurusu açtı👇 Muhtemelen tek seferlik, vakfın 40. yılı için. Üç tema var: kriz ve çatışma ortamındaki çocuklar; nörodivergent çocukların kapsanması ve esenliği; ve yapay zeka çağında çocukların öğrenmesi ve gelişimi.
Bebek birey 4 yaşına geldi - OMG! Artık yavaştan klasiklere giriş yapalım diyorum. Yaşına uygun bir Suç ve Ceza baskısı bilen var mıdır aramızda ? Latife ediyorum tabii ki, ama Ezop, La Fontaine, Andersen ve Grimm'i çocuklarınızla nasıl tanıştırdınız bir el atsanız keşke.
The man who made Star Wars offered to pay for this whole museum himself, every brick and every painting inside it. The first two cities he picked couldn't get it built. He spent 16 years chasing it, and the theater in this photo is one room in the version that finally worked.
He started with San Francisco, where he built his film company. The people who control the land he wanted turned him down. So he moved the whole plan to Chicago, his wife's hometown, where the city basically handed him a prime spot by the lake on a 99 year lease for ten dollars. Then a local group took the city to court. Their argument was simple: the lakefront belongs to the public, and a city can't just sign it over to one private museum. A judge let the lawsuit go forward, construction was blocked, and after about two years of fighting, Lucas gave up and walked away. Los Angeles won it in 2017.
He paid for all of it himself, the building and everything in it. He also locked away a fund big enough to keep the place open for decades after he's gone. Cost was never the problem. Back in 2012 he sold Star Wars and the rest of his studio to Disney for around 4 billion dollars, and this museum is one of the things he chose to do with the money.
The art tells you why he bothered. It mixes famous paintings, old comic strips, and props pulled straight off his movie sets, including Darth Vader's helmet. Lucas calls all of it narrative art, which is a fancy way of saying art that tells a story. He's been hooked since college, when he couldn't afford paintings and bought cheap comic books instead. The building matches the man. A Chinese architect designed it to look like a spaceship that just landed, all curves and barely a straight edge anywhere, with a green lawn rolled across the roof. It runs five stories tall, with floor space about the size of five football fields, on what used to be a parking lot.
The theater you're looking at is one of two inside. It was supposed to open in 2021, then 2023, then 2025. The doors are finally opening on September 22, 2026, more than ten years after a broke college kid who bought comics because paintings cost too much set out to build a place to hang them.
This woman saved Star Wars. Without her there would be no Star Wars. She went in and re-cut the trench run scene so it actually made sense after Lucas showed it to a bunch of people and they laughed at it. Seriously a legend. May the force be with you. Thank you.
Turns out my Roman Empire was taking the subway today 🏛️🚇😂
I spotted these Roman centurions riding the train through Manhattan and had to follow them.
Turns out they were heading to celebrate the first-ever National Pinsa Day, bringing a taste of Rome to NYC 🍕🇮🇹
Only in New York
