PSA: This blog will be taking a few breaks

In this lovely month of July, this blog will take a few breaks and be either posting on autopilot (i.e. queue) or not at all. 

Why? Well, I ( @janwo ) am exceptionally busy. 

  1. My family (5 people and a fluffy dog) will be moving, joining two households into a third, new home. 
  2. Who knows when IndiHome will bring us online there.
  3. Lockdown and pandemic permitting, We’ll get married on 25th. 
  4. Lockdown and pandemic permitting, there shall be a brief honeymoon afterwards. 
  5. We are supposed to finish 2½ book chapters by August. — we haven’t even properly started writing them. 

(That list would be much less ambiguous with a 1.PL.INCL/EXCL distinction.)

Inhaltswarnung: Politik

Wie wäre es übrigens, wenn die Berichterstattung auf die Bezeichnung “Adelige/r” verzichten würde?
Mit dem zweiten Reich ist 1918 auch der #Adel endgültig untergegangen. Ihn gibt es in Deutschland also nur noch in den nostalgischen Machtphantasien derjenigen, die gerne alles wieder wie damals hätten. Durch die fortgesetzte Betonung dieser abgeschafften “Klasse” verleiht man ihr den Anschein, sie sei noch eine relevante Größe in unserer #Demokratie.
