"Es gibt besondere Schutzmechanismen für schwangere Personen."
"Sie haben ein Recht auf Vaterschafts- oder Mitelternurlaub."
Hier wird inklusiv formuliert ohne dass irgendwer Wutausbrüche oder Unterdrückungsphantasien hat. Einfach so. pic.twitter.com/HS5WFZYH6G— Philipp Krämer (@ph_kraemer) November 29, 2022

I am fascinated by this ticket machine on the bus in Toruń that has a sign in three languages.
Polish: "Automat widaje resztę"
English: "Machine gives change"
German: "Automat ist restgeldauszahlungsfähig".
The translator really created a beautiful German compound word here.— Michael Pleyer (@symbolicstorage) November 28, 2022

"We were so glad to see we had neighbours," the message began. "We wrote poems of joy to you in the storms and the clouds. But you never responded."
The message came from Jupiter.

Girl with a Pearl Earring, painted by Vermeer in 1665, might just be the most famous and beloved portrait in the world.
But who is the girl?
Well, that's the thing. There was no girl, because this isn't a portrait… pic.twitter.com/buumvQVuHB
— The Cultural Tutor (@culturaltutor) November 29, 2022
So what is the Girl with a Pearl Earring, if not a portrait?
It's a "tronie".
This was a popular art form in 17th century Dutch and Flemish painting in which painters portrayed not a specified person, but a *type* of person (often as a so-called "head"): pic.twitter.com/cL1dL4hOaP
— The Cultural Tutor (@culturaltutor) November 29, 2022
So that's why tronies aren't named after people – like portraits – but given generic names based on the figure depicted or idea portrayed: old woman, old man, youth with violin, surprise, contemplation… or girl with a pearl earring.
What we see are ideas represented by faces.
