On handwork
Monday evening, standing in my kitchen, mixing almonds, sugar, wheat, spices, and nearly two whole pieces of butter. It's a messy process trying to mend these individual ingredients into a cohesive whole that sticks together. Sure, there are kneading machines, but I'm not rich enough, nor does my once-a-year heavy baking commitment warrant it. It's the season I'm fully committed to handwork. Apparently, Heidegger was a big hand guy, he loved writing about the importance of using them, already...

The sky outside the windows is covered in thick grey, making it impossible to tell with certainty whether it's 11 am or 4 pm. The wind moves the trees back and forth in a staccato dance, occasionally, thrusting a branch around in the air. The raindrops bslown against the window glass paint an abstract work of art. In short, it's the epitome of North German weather, the kind everyone tells you is the reason for North Germans' inner coldness and lack of humour (both of which I'd refute). It's c...

Are we focusing on the wrong thing?
Recently, I've been growing increasingly angry and frustrated with As a freelancer with medium income, I'm getting milked by the financial authorities via taxes, and have a big social contributions burden. 40 - 50% of my salary are easily spent on this. At the same time, since it's always based on last year's income, even if I don't have any income for a few months this year, I still have to pre-pay the same amount every quarter - if lucky, I get what I overpaid back in 6 months, if not, much...
