Born German living in the USA for way longer than living in Germany but often felt not welcome or at odds with this American life, especially now in these uncertain time we live in. I am a humanist at heart, my heart bleeds for all this injustice done to humans in this world. Will we ever learn to treat each other with respect and humanity?
My Garden calms my mind, there is something about growing something from seed that nourishes you but also creating a paradise around you to ground yourself.

Banning 3D parts based on their function is a doomed game of cat and mouse. Algorithmic print blocking will be circumvented by lawbreakers, and legal uses will be censored. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-wont-work-permission-print-part-2
Print Blocking Won't Work - Permission to Print Part 2

Legislators across the U.S. are proposing laws to force “blueprint blockers” on 3D printers sold in their states. This mandated censorware is doomed to fail for its intended purpose, but will still manage to hurt the professional and hobbyist communities relying on these tools.

If you live in #Portland and enjoy #jazz and haven't seen the Sun Ra Arkestra at the #HollywoodTheatre you should do so the next time they're here because Marshall Allen is a hundred and one years old. Such an amazing show.

The Sun Ra Arkestra Descends Upon Hollywood Theatre

He is a miracle of the highest order, a grand eccentric, and true genius of the cosmos. A peerless 20th century composer, a poet, a brilliant pianist, a live performance visionary, one of the greatest to ever have lived. A man who may or may not have tripped to Saturn, where the doomed pettiness of Earth living was revealed to him. He is legible as a great American artist, but like many great American artists,...
