Page views: 287 About conjunctivitis, conjunctivitis again and if I tell you now, I'll take all the suspense out of itIn conversation with Marion and my sister. The third past interview, recorded on Thursday, 25 December 2024. Unfortunately, the interview is not complete.

Pageviews: 135 Legendary environmental activist Captain Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and founder of the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, was arrested in Greenland in July 2024. This was done at the request of the whaling nation Japan without an international or national arrest warrant and without there ever having been a judgement or even a trial. The Danish judiciary...
Seitenaufrufe: 325 Als ich vor knapp zwanzig Jahren im Loro Parque auf Teneriffa war, stand ich staunend vor einem riesigen Becken. Ein majestätischer Schwertwal schoss aus dem Wasser, führte kunstvolle Drehungen aus und spritzte Wasser auf die begeisterten Zuschauer. Damals war ich fasziniert, beeindruckt von der vermeintlichen Harmonie zwischen Mensch und Tier. Heute, mit dem Wissen von heute, schäme...
Page views: 142 Interview: „Why Paul Watson is a hero and the world needs him“ In conversation with my friend Marion. The second past interview, recorded on Sunday, 10 November 2024.

His belief that cows are naturally designed to produce milk for humans reminded me again of the endless discussions I have already had: How can we continue to believe...
Page views: 223 My fight against bureaucratic madness As if I didn't already have enough with ALS. For years, I have not only been fighting against an incurable disease, but also against a system that makes my life even more difficult. Today is another day when I realise how degrading and inhuman our bureaucratic system can be. The medical...
Page views: 160 Hi, how are you today? I know it's Sunday, but my work as an environmental activist doesn't recognise weekends. Nature needs us more than ever. If we humans carry on as we are, the future could look bleak. Positive change is possible - and that's why I'm writing to you today. 🐋💙 When my carer gave me a T-shirt today from...
Page views: 962 ? On Sunday, my sister from Spain visited me again for a day before she had to return home. She was last in our old home town of Herzogenaurach, the „world city of sport“. adidas and PUMA are at home here, but also many lesser-known and more well-known employers such as the automotive supplier INA Schaeffler. A tragedy...
Page views: 2,364 I recently noticed redness and an uncomfortable feeling in my eye. On the urgent advice of my team leader - I really didn't feel like it - I asked my GP for a home visit who, after a thorough examination, realised that my conjunctiva was damaged. He initially wanted to prescribe an ointment to heal the wound, but I said...
