  • At school there was a lesson about the biggest topics of the world today. The teacher was actually pretty reasonable on Ukraine, saying that this happened because NAVO expanded and that Ukraine is going to lose more land if they don’t surrender. But he was still talking from a somewhat pro-Ukrainian perspective, since for example he blames Putin for continuing the war. About Palestine, he was actually a bit worse. While he didn’t like what Israel was doing, he saw what Palestine to Israel is doing as on the same level. And he didn’t think that Israel is planning on taking Gaza, and when I mentioned Israeli politicians fantasizing about them annexing it, he was saying it’s only a radical minority. When it came to Taiwan, he didn’t mention that both parties see themselves as the real China, but only that Taiwan was part of China for a long time since WWII. This was kinda lacking and didn’t really touch on the solution and China’s strategy for taking Taiwan, only that he hopes for no escalation and seemed to hold China responsible for a possible escalation.

    And for a speech about global issues, he didn’t talk about worker rights and inflation.






  • Thinking of quitting my job as a postal worker once my contract ends. It puts a lot of strain on my body since I have to do a lot since the routes are all long. I’m getting back into fitness, but realised my body is not getting fitter or stronger from my work but only getting more overloaded and more injury prone. I pulled a knee muscle on my free day because of the overload, at least I hope it’s a muscle and not a minor ligament tear which is a possibility as well.

    If only they were still nationalised so profit isn’t put first, and more postal workers would be able to work for less hours but better pay.
