The story behind the stalemate for the next European Data Protection Supervisor just gets wilder #EDPS #EPP #GDPR https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7338100291306762243?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A7338100291306762243%2C7339561373892239361%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287339561373892239361%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7338100291306762243%29
Given the (excellent) incumbent is Polish -- already the chosen candidate of the Council of the European Union -- this suggests the centre-right block #EPP (by a small number, the must numerous party in the European Parliament) is gaining ground in imposing a weaker candidate, who will help them water down the #GDPR in the coming years.

Hello, I made a lil zine!
Edit: And I just published it on itch: https://kikithegecko.itch.io/how-to-make-hex-maps-from-fabric
Feel free to send me a DM if you want one (or more) printed and assembled copies in exchange for shipping costs (I am located in Germany) + pay what you want.
@indyradio @Peter_Link Fun facts about the German #CDU party:
In 1951 Chancellor #Adenauer had stopped the #denazification of West Germany and started to protect and employ as much #Nazis as he could.
While many believe the #EU to be a leftist peace project, it's actually mostly run by the conservative #EPP with the CDU being the dominant part of that group.
Today Ursula #vonderLeyen is one of the biggest friends of Netanyahu, totally earning her nickname #FrauGenocide.
Update! I was able to buy all the fabric I need for this project today and spent the whole evening quilting while I watched concert recordings of King Gizzard's current tour in Europe. #epp #quilting #battletech
This is faster than I thought, very good. Might do the whole map after all. #battletech #epp #quilting
Time to try a new craft! #epp
Decided on a pattern for my Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt an started to sew a test. My plan - so far - is to use no newly produced fabric. I made the first flowers out of a rest of my 1. medieval-byzantine garb, an old jumpsuit of my kid (woodland critters), a shirt I never wore and a vintage fabric scrap. The border of the flower (or the "ways" between the flowers in the garden, there will also be "leafs" in various shades of green) consists of second hand cloth, I hope I have enough of it. I had the luck to find second hand some vintage fabric from a quilter (may the earth be light on her). I bought ~ 4 Kg fabric online really cheap and without really knowing what was in it, only because of some turquoise cotton fabric I saw on a crappy photo. I gambled a bit and was rewarded. When I opened the parcel I was so happy to find that there were several pieces of (vintage and modern) damask bedclothes included, hand died in green, olive and turquoise. Really, it's an absolute treasure box.
Edit: (Also: I feel like I am deeply in need to review my thoughts about #art and crafting. When I look at other peoples things: Yes! This is art!
When I look at my things: No, you just did.. apply things you bought, used techniques you saw. )

“The most dangerous dance in European politics.”
“A dangerous game where the #EPP risks undermining the democratic fabric it claims to defend.”
