OK German people: I am asking you to donate some cash for my immigrant daughter to do her Telc B2 Deutscheprüfung for the 4th time, and to leave her a message of support auf Deutsch 🙏 :boostsPorFavor:

ko-fi.com/transmom/goal?g=0

*edit*: goal reached, thank you so much everyone! :pinkgirl_bigheart: words of encouragement for my daughter still wanted!

One of my daughters needs to get this certificate ASAP to help with her visa renewal; her visa expires on May. She did the test once and was refused for the written part because of nonsense bureaucracy, but passed the oral part. She did it again for the written part and failed, which was a hit to her self-esteem. So she studied hard, every day, and tried again, having resolved she'd leave the country if she didn't pass once more.

Her improvement in grades was marked, but she was still short—by a mere 6 points. She's now decided to try it one last time after all. However, every one of these attempts costs from 139€ to 159€ or more (see e.g. perfekt-deutsch.de/telc-deutsc ). We are currently on a very tight budget for a variety of reasons and cannot afford ordering another test this month. This matters because places are limited, and results take a long time to come out. It would make a real difference if we could already book a new test and shorten the wait for a month; potentially it could be the difference between getting a new visa or not.

(If we get more money than asked, it will be used for the legal fund of my *other* immigrant children, who will need a lawyer to stay safe. More on this case later.)

But maybe the most important thing tonight is, there are few experiences as emotionally haunting as being an immigrant right now. Dealing with the Ausländerbehörde brought me to tears and total breakdown countless times, and I'm a grown-ass adult with a job. It feels like the entire country hates our existence and wants us to disappear. If you are of the opinion that a young, queer Brazilian artist should be allowed to live in Germany, please leave a short comment as to why. Then she'll get to practice her Leseverstehen with something nice for a change.

Hallo #Stuttgart und Umgebung: Entgegen aller Widrigkeiten habe ich einen Vertrag für ein Praxissemesterpraktikum bei euch in der Nähe unterschrieben. Die Unterkunft fehlt aber noch!

Deswegen suche ich eine Untermiete (Zeitraum: April bis August, begrüße aber jegliche sonstige/kürzere Vereinbarung - bestens Richtung Süd/Böblingen)

Boosts willkommen! (So könntest DU zeigen, dass dieses Fediversum Macht hat! Gleichzeitig kannst du mich auch helfen, auch wenn ich kein Ralph Ruthe bin! :BoostOK:)

I relented and used log in with google. After entering my phone number it went "there's already an account, want to link them? just type in this code emailed to you" and guess what email arrived immediately

I understand why "email me a link" type login is popular but maybe actually send the email. just a thought.

okay got those out of my system. you can go back to meta posting about how every chat service is terrible. if you want to reach me I'll be on Google Allo.

telegram apps are horrible in different ways but at least you can turn off the fake liquid glass in the android one and it won't be as bad

Hat hier jemand Erfahrung/Tipps zu Wundheilungsschmerzen nach top surgery?
Ein Freund hatte vor über 4 Wochen top surgery mit kleinen Schnitten (ohne Komplikationen und mit gut verlaufender Heilung), nimmt aber aktuell immer noch Tramadol und bei Bedarf Ibu 600 und ist insgesamt nicht schmerzfrei
War das bei euch auch so? Habt ihr Tipps/Hinweise?
