Aperçu of the Week:

"People owe progress to the discontented."

(Aldous Huxley, British writer and philosopher, i. e. Brave New World)

Bad News of the Week:

One in three people in Germany will need a blood donation in their lifetime, according to statistics from the German Blood Donor Service. This is only in rare cases (12%) due to blood loss in accidents or injuries, as seen on TV. Much more frequently, for example, cancer patients (19%), gastrointestinal patients (16%) or heart patients (16%) are dependent on it during operations or treatments. Even the most modern medicine cannot do without the red lifeblood. Since blood still cannot be produced artificially.

This is why the current development is so dramatic: presumably because of the Corona pandemic, many people stayed as far away from medical facilities as possible. Out of fear of becoming infected as well as out of good will not to be a burden on the already overloaded health care system. Blood donations have therefore fallen dramatically. Currently, only about half of the required blood is available. Regular willingness to donate is also important, because the blood components remain usable only up to the 42nd day after donation.

The situation is just as bleak for organ donations. According to the German Foundation for Organ Transplants (DSO), there are currently around 8,500 seriously ill people urgently waiting for a donor organ - of which there are too few. In 2022 alone, 407 kidney and 86 heart patients therefore died. Yet (to put it sarcastically) no one who dies as a healthy person, for example in an accident, still needs their organs. Others do. Leaving religious convictions aside, the reason for the lack of willingness to donate organs is a frighteningly stupid one: the lack of documentation.

According to the German Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA), 82% of the population is basically willing to donate an organ. But only 44% have documented this - the easiest way is an organ donor card, about which relatives are informed. And this even includes the refusals. The way out could be simple: the so-called "contradiction solution". In this way, everyone would be an organ donor in principle, unless he or she expressly objects. But neither the health minister of the last government - Jens Spahn of the conservative CDU - nor the current one - Karl Lauterbach of the social democratic SPD - could get their way politically. In addition, a national register would have to be set up first. This would take years just for data protection reasons. So for the foreseeable future, only one thing remains: the rare commodity of solidarity. Sadly, this is obviously not enough right now. It costs lives. In Germany alone, every single day.

Good News of the Week:

Like Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has tinkered "his" state to maintain his personal power. The principle is called the "presidential system," which tends to weaken parliament and strengthen the position of the president. Many can't even remember a time before Erdogan; the leader of the AKP (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi) party has now been in power for twenty years. Elections are due again on May 14 of this year, and of course the autocrat is seeking re-election.

But headwinds are forming: six Turkish opposition parties forged an alliance this week to prevent just that. The alliance wants to transform the presidential system back into a parliamentary system, strengthen the rule of law and freedom of the press, and bring the president's power back to a democratic level. For example, the president should no longer be able to rule by decree, and his term of office should be limited to seven years.

The initiative comes at just the right time. Many opposition figures have been muzzled by Erdogan's power apparatus in recent years. Most recently, Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was considered a promising candidate. He was sentenced to two years in prison and banned from politics for allegedly insulting the election commission. Perhaps for this reason, the newly formed alliance has not yet named a top candidate.

That alone will not end in one fell swoop the massive economic, administrative, monetary, and judicial crisis that Turkey has now endured for years. But the mere prospect that there might be an alternative with a realistic chance of success to the increasingly inevitable permanent president is welcome. Especially for the fragile democracy on the Bosporus. After all, democracy is the essential basis for Turkey's perspective in the EU. And the nation will not be able to achieve lasting peace, prosperity and security any other way.

Personal happy moment of the week:

Last week I got a new colleague. I was allowed to choose him myself. The good impression his application made was confirmed in an online meeting. We agreed before we had even met in person. Because that didn't happen until his first day at work. Which started chaotically right away, because we had just learned that the office would be moving in the next few days. So the actual work is left undone and we have to deal with sorting out documents, clarifying furniture, planning workstations, packing office supplies, etc. And the new colleague proves to be helpful, hands-on, uncomplicated and resilient. It's nice when the second impression even surpasses the first.

I couldn't care less...

...how the U.S. is now dealing with the alleged Chinese spy balloon in their airspace. Shoot it down? Let it fly on? Protest diplomatically? Surprise: China is spying on the West. Ugh. It would be easy if China actually needed balloons for that. That would be like hoping to prevent Russian disinformation campaigns by restricting the supply of newsprint. Both take place primarily on the Internet. Which is as open as a barn door. When the Corona pandemic caused x million employees worldwide to move to the home office, not even a quarter of companies took security measures to protect all their private data connections. Any questions?

As I write this...

...I am disappointed in Brazil's President Lula da Silva. He wanted to do many things differently and better than his unspeakable predecessor Jair Bolsonaro. In environmental protection, for example. But even he did not prevent what had been looming for a few weeks and actually happened yesterday: the so-called "controlled sinking" of an ailing aircraft carrier full of pollutants. Robin Wood speaks of a "30,000-ton toxic package." Just like that. Because it's cheap. The "São Paulo" now lies at a depth of 5,000 meters in international waters. And I wonder if this is not only shockingly ignorant of the marine ecosystem, but not actually illegal. If not, it must become so as soon as possible, before this example is copied.

Post Scriptum

In the British cabinet of Rishi Sunak, as before, there is no responsibility for climate protection. Instead, there are separate ministers for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as cabinet members with no area of responsibility and three for the military complex. There is also - whatever that means - a "Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster" and a "Lord Keeper of [the] Privy Seal" with cabinet rank. Is it just me who feels that the United Kingdom is clinging more to the long-gone past than actively tackling the challenges of the future?

Title: Unveiling Carol's Unintentional Quirk: A Peculiar Discovery at Work

---

Working alongside a captivating colleague named Carol for a couple of years brought unexpected surprises, revealing a peculiar quirk that went unnoticed until one memorable day.

Carol, an 18-year-old with striking blonde hair, was known for her flirtatious nature that caught the attention of everyone in the workplace. However, it wasn't until a routine encounter unfolded that a distinctive trait came to light.

The initial revelation occurred as I engaged in conversation with Carol while she tidied up behind the cash till. In a moment of laughter, she unexpectedly opened her mouth wide, offering an unanticipated view of the inside—its vivid pink hue and a well-defined uvula taking center stage. Caught off guard, I couldn't help but be surprised by this unexpected glimpse.

In a matter of minutes, another incident brought the peculiar trait to the forefront once again. While moving a metal frame unit to the stockroom, a playful moment unfolded. As I held the unit in front of me, attempting to jokingly trap Carol against the lift, a sudden mishap occurred. A piece of the unit fell, startling her. In her shock, she opened her mouth wide, revealing her uvula once more as laughter followed.

Curiously, this incident marked the beginning of a pattern. Subsequently, whenever Carol burst into laughter, her open-mouthed expressions inadvertently showcased her uvula. It became a distinctive feature, and I couldn't help but wonder how many of her acquaintances had shared this peculiar view.

The workplace dynamics took an unexpected turn as Carol's unintentional quirk became a subtle yet distinctive aspect of our shared experiences. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most intriguing aspects of our colleagues' personalities are revealed in the most unexpected moments.

When I think about...

...how some work colleagues leave the toilet, I don't want to be invited to their place for dinner.

...how the Taliban are banishing their women step by step back to the Middle Ages, I almost wish "Operation Enduring Freedom" back.

...how far artificial intelligence has already come, I understand why so few seem to attach importance to human intelligence.

...how many children still have no access to education, I am annoyed by parents who get upset when one single lesson is to be cancelled.

...how the right-wing populist "Alternative for Germany" manages to get back to 14-15% after every down, I wish "The Left" would return as a protest party.

...how consumer prices for electricity and gas are still rising, even though purchase prices have dropped significantly, I am afraid for my wallet.

...how the German minister of transport clings to combustion cars, I understand "Last Generation" and "Extinction Rebellion" better and better.

...how Europeans can be upset that the U.S. is so dominant, but at the same time not dare to lead for reasons of political hygiene, I find that pathetic.

...how many e.g. South American countries still refuse to see Russia as an aggressor, it makes me angry that morality and human rights still count less than economic and geostrategic interests.

...the way the government spends money on explaining its policies in advertisements and commercials because the editorial treatment gets too complex, I question the people's media literacy.

I can’t tell if I’m kidding, really.

#might be kidding but who knows #not me #I do like to talk to people about my work sometimes #but like it’s just not all the time #and not usually with internet strangers #mostly with friends and sometimes colleagues #always with my editors #they rule #I ate a whole rotisserie chicken today #what was I just doing #?

v tired of coming out to ppl who are familiar and accepting of the aroace term, who then still turn around and say "yeah but you might still one day meet someone, right?" like I promise you most aspec ppl are aware it's an option, but it's still rude

I get you're trying to be supportive, but it still comes off as "don't worry, perhaps you're not really aroace/broken"

#work colleague: 'well i didnt find love until i was in my 30s'#okay but you still felt attraction??? you still knew you liked boys and girls from a young age??#ace #asexual #aro #aromantic #aroace #aspec #maybe one day i will meet someone!#but there's a good chance any 'romantic' relationship i get into will be more a qpp #you wouldnt go up to a straight girl and go 'perhaps you havent met the right girl yet'#why is it okay to backseat diagnose an aspec's identity?#i am. tired
