@inthehands if you are interested in the student protests in Serbia, follow
https://d-64.social/@dejan for reporting and analysis (in German, but DeepL can surely help). He also writes about democracy and (higher) education in Germany, so I assume it is right up your alley...

@inthehands Have you seen what the students in serbia are doing to build a movement around civil empowerment? We can all learn something...

@inthehands @jasonkoebler oh I just posted it to agree

@inthehands @jasonkoebler I don' t remember the exact quote or where she said it, but Dorothy Sayers wrote somewhere that God created Us in his image, and thus as creative and creating beings. Always loved this and feel it is correct on an almost instinctive level

@CultureDesk 50 Serien, die angeblich die besten sind. 3 davon habe ich (in Teilen) gesehen.
30, 45, 50.
Mad Men nach 5 Folgen abgebrochen - nicht weil es schlecht war, sondern weil es zu gut war. Dieser beiläufige Sexismus, es hat mich zu sehr aufgeregt.

@inthehands thank you, that clears it up.

We have one room sized in the bedroom because of allergies. (Xiaomi )
But was wondering about getting a reasonable solution for travelling to minimize covid/ Flu/ viral infections.

@inthehands may I ask - the HePa for the kid's class room -- what size is that? Because I imagine if all kids bring a normal sized filter that would probably overkill. But if it is a cup size portable - what use are those?
(Thinking about getting one for long train rides that are coming up, but can't find studies if they are useful for more than alleviating cigarette smoke in cars...

@inthehands @tshirtman @kellogh @jmeowmeow
Kind of you, but I do know both words and the distinction, same difference in German (antroposophisch vs anthropologisch) - just a case of late night with a pinch of post Covid brain...
Should have checked before I clicked "Toot"

@kellogh @inthehands @jmeowmeow I acknowledge that some Waldorf methods foster creativity but the anthropological (edit: it is "anthroposophical", of course. ) ideology is deeply troubling.
Also, while a good student-teacher relationship is crucial for teaching, Waldorf teachers have way too much control over students, books and dessemination of knowledge.

@tshirtman @kellogh @inthehands @jmeowmeow

Yes indeed, exactly.

Also I'll edit the post.
Should not type in a foreign language after midnight. Thanks for pointing it out.

@inthehands @dtauvdiodr well. Considering that FOUR of the seven artes liberales were considered mathematical , i.e. geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and, yes, music -- there is a lot of STEM included in the liberal arts. It just needn't be reduced to a vocational training or use cases.

I believe in liberal arts education. From the bottom of my heart. I also did a vocational (re-) training in software development (can't code sh*t though) because I cannot find a job.
