A special shoutout to The New York Review of Books which has just started using the Fediverse:
➡️ @nybooks
The NYRB is a celebrated magazine on literature, politics, arts, ideas & current events.
They've just started posting, so their profile may look blank to your server. Follow them and their posts will start showing up on your server too 🙂
(By the way, NYRB has no connection to the New York Times Book Review, they just have similar names.)

"Die betroffenen Arten spüren den Wetterumschwung immer ein bisschen früher. Sie sind wie Vögel“, schreibt Mely Kiyak. Seit 15 Jahren warnt sie vor dem Aufstieg des Faschismus. Sie schreibt mal wütend, mal witzig, mal polemisch, mal zynisch (ein Lachen am Abgrund), aber immer seismographisch genau in der Beobachtung und geschliffen im Wort.
Diese Beiträge von Kiyak tun weh zu lesen. Und das ist gut so. #Bücherwabe #bucher #books #livre #politics #politik #chemnitz #antifa #Faschismus #melykiyak
