"Are we all terrorists?" Reportage from the United for Gaza protest in Berlin

The reportage describes the pro-Palestinian protest in Berlin, which took place the day after the ceasefire in Gaza was declared. Despite the German chancellor's statement that there was no longer any reason to demonstrate, protesters expressed skepticism about the ceasefire agreement. The text also reflects the division of the German left on the issue of Palestine, with decolonial criticism leading to the emergence of new activist groups.

"It was difficult for me to call myself a lesbian, it's quite a strong word after all. To be honest, I was quite afraid of it." Reportage on the lives of lesbians in Slovakia

The reportage focuses on the lives of lesbian women in regions, concentrating mainly on the topics of identity, community, and everyday resistance to social norms. The text is based on interviews with five lesbians and analyzes how regional differences and religious beliefs influence their experience of sexuality. The author explores why the word "lesbian" is often perceived as confrontational and seeks community solutions and online support for the invisible existence of lesbians outside the capital city.
