Manga in School Libraries?

The writers’ guild PEN America in last month published a survey on literature, which got prohibited by American schools and American school districts.

Besides comics and also consumer books, several […]

So Annoying!

It’s so annoying! I mean working with WordPress. Suddenly the classical editor got removed. I’m obviously able to work with the more modern editor, too. But I preferred the classical editor. Different from WordPress’ promises, the more modern editor doesn’t include all features of the classical editor. I especially haven’t found a way to insert […]

Correction to ‘Hoshikawa’

History Really on Repeat

While I some days ago couldn’t sleep, I during the darkest night watched some tv documentaries about battles in the Second World War, the equipment back then, and modern equipment.
