Ich suche utopische Kurzgeschichten oder Romane, die in einer Nachhaltigen und Postfossilen Gesellschaft spielen, welche auch wir zeitnah erreichen könnten. Gerne Teilen!

Please help: I am looking for a spokesperson or even better a CISO of the government of the Netherlands - ideally both. I need a quick and easy contact for an IT security related issue. The website is not helpful.

@evawolfangel @bert_hubert - any contacts there? (Background: Eva is a very reputable investigative journalist).

that German is the third official language in (I thought it was only Dutch and French!) and that there are more folks speaking Dutch than French as their first language in Belgium (I thought it was the other way around!).

Also, that has a beer pipeline: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/08/bruges-pipe-dream-a-reality-beer-pipeline 🍻

@bert_hubert that reminds me of the confusion Austrian and Swiss radio stations always cause me (my partner and thus part time also I live close to both borders 😅)

@vonneudeck oh, I totally believe that! It's just that in my brain for some reason the proportions were vastly different from the official numbers, whatever they are worth.

You don't owe anyone a follow (this includes me). Not even people you've been mutuals for a while. Not even people you know on real life. Not even people whose profile you check often.

Sometimes they just post too much. Or post stuff you don't want pop up on your list (but want to check on your terms). Or they start (re-)posting hate (you don't owe them a call out; especially not if you don't think it will go well). Sometimes they are lovely folks but just bore you with their favorite sports.

I love book recommendation lists but they often tend to upset me. My favorite kinds of lists are either international lit (where I am usually upset that there are not enough women represented) or books by non-male folks (where I am upset that it's often mostly English-writing folks).

So - here is a list of my personal recommendations of books by women in (English) translation. One book for every day of June. Feel free to join - does not have to be every day!

Mariama Bâ - "Une si longue letter / So Long a Letter / Ein so langer Brief"

I remembered reading the book some 15 years ago and being thoroughly impressed by a world so different from my own - both in terms of society (I know almost nothing about Senegal!) and the viewpoint of a then much older women having lived such a different live.

Take a look - and if my mini recommendation is not convincing you, here is a much longer one ▶️ https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/05/13/feminize-your-canon-mariama-ba/

@grb090423 yay, thanks for the feedback and I do hope you like the book 🙏

Ingeborg Bachmann - one of the most important voices of post WWII German-language literature (not German, but Austrian). One of the main German-language literature prizes is named after her.

More here: ▶️ https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2019/07/09/feminize-your-canon-ingeborg-bachmann/ (imho the article focusses a bit too much on her love life & fails to mention a philosophy PhD & impact of her lectures + essays)

I've read her short fiction, which I very much recommend. But there are also a novel, poetry, letters, essays.
