Laut #Lehrerverband dürfen Schüler*innen gegen die #Wehrpflicht demonstrieren, aber schön ordentlich in ihrer Freizeit, sonst kann es einen Verweis geben.
Man kann zur Wehrpflicht stehen wie man will, ich bin nicht prinzipiell dagegen und war auch selbst beim Bund. Aber wenn mein Sohn dagegen demonstriert und sich einen Verweis abholt, dann erhält er von mir auf jeden Fall eine #Thoreau Ehrenauszeichnung für zivilen Ungehorsam.
"Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all." – Henry David Thoreau
Time is short. Choose wisely.

Today in Labor History November 29, 1832: Louisa May Alcott, author, nurse, feminist and abolitionist, was born. Her writing was influenced by the transcendentalists, like Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne and Longfellow, whom she knew personally. While she was most famous for her book, “Little Women,” she also wrote “Work,” an autobiographical novel that exposed the exploitation of women workers. Poverty forced her to work at a young age as a teacher, seamstress, governess and domestic. During the Civil War, she worked as a nurse and developed typhoid fever. The medicine she took contained mercury, which may have contributed to the autoimmune disorders that plagued her for the rest of her life and that ultimately killed her. She is buried on Author’s Ridge, at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, in Concord, near Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne.

4/ Well anything for variety. I am ready to try this for the next 1000 years, & exhaust it. How sweet to think of! My extremities well charred, and my intellectual part too, so that there is no danger of worm or rot for a long while. My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches. No run on my bank can drain it—for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.”
#Thoreau letter to HGO Blake, 6 December 1856
🚫 Stop Looking, Start Doing. Don't chase success; build it. Thoreau reminds us: Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. Be productive! What's keeping you busy today?

12/ Indeed, it is by obeying the suggestions of a higher light within you that you escape from yourself and, in the transit, as it were see with the unworn sides of your eye, travel totally new paths. What is that pretended life that does not take up a claim, that does not occupy ground, that cannot build a causeway to its objects, that sits on a bank looking over a bog, singing its desires?
#Thoreau 30 August 1856
from Kristen Case’s new book on Thoreau’s kalendar
somewhat optimistic that this will help to correct the cultural narrative about Thoreau
nerding out over here; a beautiful object to behold. these phenological charts, unfinished in his lifetime, are his life’s true work. Lewis Hyde sums it up best:
“Thoreau's Kalendar, a years-long charting of 'natural phenomena' in Concord, Massachusetts, pointed the way toward an ecology of time in which the mind and moods of the naturalist are rightly joined to the plants and animals whose seasons Thoreau had so faithfully recorded.“
can’t say how excited I am for this book, out today
Here's a view of #waldenpond, a location made famous by #thoreau I think it also goes well with the theme #silentsunday

3/ I lie on my back with joy under its boughs. While its leaves fall, its blossoms spring. The autumn, then, is indeed a spring. All the year is a spring. I see two blackbirds high overhead, going south, but I am going north in my thought with these hazel blossoms. It is a faery place. This is a part of the immortality of the soul.”
#Thoreau 9 October 1851

Morris #Berman über Henry David #Thoreaus #Walden:
Ein #Junggeselle, der einen #gegenkulturellen #Lebensstil ohne #finanzielle #Abhängigkeit, d. h. ohne #Kinder, führt, benötigt weniger #Ressourcen als ein #Ehepaar mit #Kindern, und eine #alleinerziehende #Mutter mit Kindern benötigt eindeutig mehr Ressourcen als ein Gesellschaft ablehnender Junggeselle.
