If you’re up for some art I highly recommend the Harwood Museum to see the Agnes Martin room. It’s incredibly moving. Will definitely put you in a relaxed and contemplative head space.

Did anyone else in Berlin see that comet??? Yowza.

Ha. Of course. But wouldn’t it be great if it wasn’t?

Make “lover” catch on.

It’s not what he SHOULD be arrested for first, but it’ll do.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

Oof. Favorite film. Favorite tender freaks. 💔

Congratulations, Andrew!

😭 Trying to translate the untranslatable is such a fun way to break one’s brain! 🤯

Maybe closer to “breathe already!”but either way it’s not really translatable. Something like “Ach, komm!” may be a better fit? And also, Clueless in German! I should watch.

Oh wow. Thank you!

😭😭😭 I would still subscribe, Bethanne.

Yes! Total heartbreaker. I cried so much but often it was because I was so moved!

Wonderful news! So well deserved. 👏

Oh, it doesn’t show anything on my end. In any case, enjoy your time and travel well and see you next time! 🤍

For many European governments, Donald Trump’s threat of punitive tariffs against anyone who tries to stop him taking Greenland was the final straw in their failing relationship with the U.S.

Divorce, they believe, is now inevitable.

Well. Well. “In 1943, the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun travelled to Germany and met with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. After returning to Norway, he sent his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a gesture of thanks for the meeting. Goebbels was honoured by the gift…” 🤔

Yessss. 👏👏👏

Like Nazis having musicians in the concentration camps play music for them. Despicable.

👏👏👏

Today in Berlin I spoke with a dental hygienist from Iran, a cab driver from Turkey, and a rug dealer from Afghanistan all in a language that was not our first, and we all said the exact same thing: Why and how and what do we do to live in a world where the people in power are trying to kill us?
