URGENT:

#Trans people in Germany need your help. There's recently been a proposal submitted by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) to create a list of people who changed their name/gender under the self-identification law. While the initial proposal has been rejected, it may be reintroduced in the future. This is obviously a terrible idea, especially considering the increasing popularity of the far-right party.

If we manage to reach 30.000 signatures within the next eleven days, the petition-starter will be invited to discuss the topic with the so-called Petitionsausschuss. So unlike petitions on platforms like Change.org, this one cannot be ignored as easily.

I recently learned that living in Germany is not required to sign, so I kindly ask you to help us. To make the process easier for you, I took screenshots of the website and translated everything.

(Edit: Clarified the situation and process that follows if the petition meets the quorom.)

After 15 months of hard work, my dad has finished this impressive model of Minas Tirith! It is 1.4 m high and entirely hand-made out of wood. One of the most time-consuming parts was manually engraving the bricks on all walls and buildings, but this was key to properly convey the huge size of the city. Everything was painted by hand, adding some wear and tear. For a behind-the-scenes look at how he built this check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Ywlc8ojjE

When it's cold enough, my car warns me "Ice possible. Drive carefully"

I think when it's hot, it should say "Ice impossible. Go fucking nuts"

Ok .. this song is now only acceptable when it comes with silly, dancing Dragon Ponys! I don't make the rules (ok - I actually did make this one, but am I wrong?!).   🎄

Ah, I'm not looking forward to Christmas at all.
