people laugh at me for always asking a baby's permission before picking them up but let me tell you when my nephew was seven months old I picked him up off the floor without checking first and he was absolutely outraged and reproached me with terrible wails. just because a person is very small doesn't mean it's not scary and upsetting to be scooped up out of nowhere by a much larger person. quite the contrary. obviously if a baby is in danger or the situation is otherwise pressing you can temporarily suspend the rules of polite behavior and just grab them up, much like you are allowed to violently shove a grownup if a speeding car is bearing down on them. but that doesn't mean you just go around shoving people as a matter of routine. show some consideration to our latest arrivals on this horrible planet. they are better at communicating than you think

Im Übrigen: dass Genoss*innen für Pistorius waren, hat andere Gründe, aber wieso ist eigentlich das Land insgesamt der Meinung, dass wir den Typen zum Kanzler machen sollten, der die Bundeswehr unter sich hat?

Unterstützung für die Ukraine, ja, definitiv, aber das ist dann doch ein seltsam militaristischer Beliebtheitsfaktor.

Passed by a woman with one of those double-stroller things with a small baby in the top container and about ~2-year-old in the bottom one, and overheard her conversation with the toddler.

"Baby."

"Yes, we've got the baby right here."

"Baby :c"

"The baby is right here sweetie, above you in the carrier."

"Onni. :c"

"Baby Onni is right here. He's still with us sweetie."

"Baby. :c"

"Darling I can't put him down there with you. He's safe in his own seat."

"Baby. :C"

(Onni is a finnish male name, which means "luck", "fortune", and "happiness", in the sense of being perfectly content, wanting and needing nothing that one does not already have.)
