Die vielleicht effektivste Maßnahme, um Druck für besseren Bahnverkehr zu machen? Flugverbot für die Beamten, die zwischen Bonn und Berlin pendeln. Müssten sie ständig Bahn fahren, könnten sich die Beamten im Verkehrsministerium vor Beschwerden ihrer Kollegen nicht mehr retten.

Tired of explaining that "I don't have the time" doesn't mean "literally every second of my schedule is accounted for", but rather "I'm giving as much of myself as I'm currently able to give"

What reading a web page used to be like:
*find page; read page*
What it’s like now:
*find page; accept cookies; decline newsletter; turn off weird video that’s randomly started; close pop-up ad; decline survey request; get fed up; leave without reading*— Smita Jamdar 💙 🇺🇦 @smitajamdar@mastodon.online (@smitajamdar) August 10, 2019
