What if I tell you that a German woman, with mental problems, as it seems ATM, pulls out a knife and starts to stab passengers in a bus, severely hurting 3 passengers. Three muslimas, fearing for their children, throw themselves at this woman, manage to wrestle the knife away from her and keep her down until the situation can be resolved? Oh? You didn't hear about that? Well. It just happened. last Friday. (article in German) t-online.de/nachrichten/panora…

I don't much like this particular day but slowly time heals wounds, and it becomes slightly easier each year. I laid my mum to rest on this day in 2017. Always a bit tough this time of year.

I remember coming home from the bit after the funeral, what do you even call that, after-party? I dono. Anyway, I came home after that, and there was a sale on so I treated myself to some instruments from #Heavyocity, then I made this track I called 'Can I Borrow Tomorrow?'
It's kind of a synthwave pop type thing with no words.

Wenn ich nicht aus #Siegen wäre, wüssten ich und vermutlich alle, die den Ursprungspost teilen und liken überhaupt nicht, dass die "Passagiere" die die Angreiferin stoppten, dass diese "Passagiere" 3 junge Muslima mit Migrationshintergrund waren.
Kein Wort in der @tagesschau oder dem @ZDF, dass es Muslima waren - aber der Busfahrer wird in die Wolken gelobt, dass er dem Standardprotokoll folgte und die Türen öffnete.
Die Medien sind so furchtbar Mitschuld am Rechtsruck - ZUM KOTZEN!

It's a shock to learn the news that the Living Blindfully podcast is coming to an end. It's been an incredible source of information and discussion that will be sadly and sorely missed in our community. We often say on Double Tap we need more voices out there talking from our unique perspectives so Jonathon's voice not being part of our community anymore will be a huge loss. We at Double Tap wish you well on your journey and perhaps you'll come back on one day to tell us your thoughts on the world of tech just like before. livingblindfully.social/@podca…

Coole Aktion der Kölner Aktion Bürger_Innen Asyl, die sich gegen Abschiebungen einsetzt. Theoretisch und praktisch.

Heute stand eine Radkultour auf dem Programm. Fünf Stationen in Köln und Programm dort wurden mit dem Rad verbunden.

Ich durfte die Tour machen und dem Pulk von über 100 Menschen vorwegradeln.

Letztes Jahr war ich schon angesprochen worden. Und da war es schon echt beeindruckend, was die vornehmlich jungen Menschen auf die Beine stellen.

Dieses Jahr…

That is… extremely sad news for me. If you only knew how many times I pronounced your name when talking to blind people, including on air (I mean, on YouTube), you would be surprised, to say the least. Your podcast has always been a great source of news, discussions, thoughtful interviews, brilliant demonstrations. You taught me lots of things, although you don't know about it, Jonathan. I don't know how tactile you are, but since it's virtual, I permit myself to hug you and wish you all the best in your future endeavor. And if some day, one day you decide to relaunch a podcast… you know you'll have many devoted listeners, not only me of course, but I'll be among the first to hit that Subscribe button. Thank you for all your exceptional work. to me Jonathan Mosen means quality, brilliance, truthfullness, a steel will and a kind generous heart.
P.S. On a less serious note, it's also sad there won't be an episode 330 (country code 33 is France) and an episode 380 (country code of Ukraine is 380).

Halfway through this latest Radiant Others #klezmer #podcast episode interviewing Zisl Slepovitch & Stephen Naron about their work selecting, arranging, performing and recording music and poems found in the #holocaust survivor and witness testimony at the Fortunoff Video Archive. I have one of the CDs in this series but didn't know all this about how they came to exist. Often these songs were collectively composed in WWII labour camps and recalled by a single survivor.
