To all who feel the same about a convicted felon returning to the White House with his transnational crime syndicate. A few years down the road another German moron, e.g. from #NoAfD, may label him a communist. Stay strong and don’t despair. 😘 X

For all lost in darkness and despair today. “If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

As long as it is more appealing to US TV channels to send their anchors out in rain coats to hours talking about rain and wind , but not about the fossile fuel industry , carbon emissions and man-made climate change , we got no chance whatsoever to get ahead of the game #MILTON

If our descendants are lucky, very lucky, they may still get the opportunity to express their gratitude to those very climate activists who rang the bell and should not have received custodial sentences …. theartnewspaper.com/2024/09/…

Not only #CulturalHeritage professionals need to take a look at these devastating numbers: „the destruction of cultural Ukranian identity is at the heart of Russian genocidal policy“, says @IhorPoshyvailo at #NCCPP2024 at @GettyMuseum.@icom_icms

Danke an Bernhard Klier & @gruenes_museum . Ein Heimspiel @kulturSPK mit tollen ReferentInnen. Die Antwort ist ein klares jein. Es gibt inzwischen gute Ansätze an immer mehr Orten - die großen Museen u.a. in Berlin, Dresden und München aber sind eher Nachzügler als Vorreiter.

🌿 Auf der Veranstaltung #DasgrüneMuseum startet @mcsts mit der Frage, die uns alle beschäftigt: „Gibt's denn mittlerweile schon ein grünes Museum in Deutschland? Also WIRKLICH ein GRÜNES Museum?“ Wir sind gespannt auf sein Input und die Diskussionen! #Museum #Nachhaltigkeit #dgm

The logic of failure : when it comes down of sustainability and risk management in times of climate change , sadly, this very responsibility is totally ignored in the vast majority of museums around the globe
It is a professional responsibility to consult other colleagues within or outside the museum when the expertise available in the museum is insufficient to ensure good decision-making.
