Wir verlassen X. In Hamburg sagt man Tschüss (zu Fake News, Hetze, Diskriminierung, Hatespeech & Verherrlichung von Gewalt). Der mit Musks Übernahme von Twitter eingeleitete Niedergang hat zuletzt einen nicht mehr zu tolerierenden Tiefpunkt erreicht: blog.sub.uni-hamburg.de/?p=3… #eXit

Today is the birthday of #ChristinaRossetti, #JoanDidion & #HanifKureishi! Isn't it striking that both Didion & Kureishi have a book called the black / white album, respectively? If you prefer more colourful reads, here are our illustrated editions of Rossetti‘s "Goblin Market"

Greetings from outer space! To celebrate the @TheBookerPrizes win of @SolstadDag223's novel "Orbital", we took the book from our library to the Planetenweg (Planet Walk) in Göttingen, a series of monuments of the celestial bodies of our solar system! Look how tiny Earth is! 🌍

Under the headline "Erde" (that is, German for "Earth") is an artistic rendition of "Earth" as a tiny metal ball between two sheets of glass. An added blue arrow points to the ball because it is really small

The artistic rendition of the sun is a big yellow metal ball. Below is the monument of the Planetenweg, explaining the artwork is dedicated to all children and to Göttingen's partner town Toruń, home of astronomer Copernikus.
