      Would you and your sexual partner like to share the story of what you get up to in the bedroom?

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    The Guardian’s Saturday magazine is interested in hearing from couples, partners and former lovers to talk about their sex lives

    How is your sex life going? The Guardian is looking for couples to talk honestly – and anonymously – about what they get up to in the bedroom for the Saturday magazine’s much-loved This is How We Do It column .

    The point of this column is to tell truthful, un-sensationalised stories about sex, so we are particularly keen to hear from you if you are not swinging from the chandeliers. How do you navigate intimacy when your partner wants sex more than you do? Or when the honeymoon stage has worn off? Or when you are not feeling spectacular about your body?

    We’re looking for couples of all ages and sexualities. We would not publish your names or where you live.

    German chancellor speaks alongside Mette Frederiksen as Danish leader calls for greater cooperation in Europe

    The German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has said that “borders must not be moved by force” after a meeting with Denmark’s leader, Mette Frederiksen, intended to show European unity as Donald Trump presses his demands to gain control of Greenland.

    The Danish prime minister met Scholz in Berlin, before meetings with the French president, Emmanuel Macon, in Paris, and the Nato secretary-general, Mark Rutte, in Brussels later on Tuesday. Trump said over the weekend : “I think we’re going to have [Greenland]” and was reported to have threatened Denmark with tariffs over the Danish territory.

      Life on South Carolina death row: months of ‘barbaric’ isolation before execution

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Marion Bowman Jr has been caged in a tiny ‘execution watch’ cell since September, waiting to be killed: ‘I won’t let the prison turn me into an animal’

    For 135 days, Marion Bowman Jr has been locked in a solitary cell narrower than his arm span, cut off from nearly all human interaction, counting down the days until the state of South Carolina executes him.

    The 44-year-old is scheduled to be killed by lethal injection on Friday, the third man on South Carolina death row to be executed in rapid succession as the state aggressively revives capital punishment. The cases have sparked outrage over concerns about wrongful convictions , the racist application of the death penalty and the painful, drawn-out method of killing.

      ‘Overwhelming’: what happens to 50,000lbs of extra LA wildfire clothing donations?

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Businesses like Suay Sew Shop are trying to salvage piles of damaged textiles – and warn of the dangers of climate impact and overconsumption

    At Suay Sew Shop in Los Angeles’s arts district, mounds of clothes are piled high in a warehouse. The T-shirts, socks, jackets and denim are surplus donations from the LA wildfires that community groups across the city were unable to distribute because they had too much already, or because the items were dirty, damaged or poorly made.

    Instead of letting the clothes go to a landfill, where they can cause a host of environmental problems, Suay has rescued 50,000lbs of textiles so they can be cleaned, sorted and upcycled by professional designers and sewers. Since LA currently has no permanent textile recycling or collection, it’s up to groups like Suay to save as many textiles as possible before they get dumped or exported.

      ‘It’s a job, and a tough one’: the pain and privilege of being a millennial caregiver

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Andrew, 33, cares full-time for his grandmother Elo, who has vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s. Isadora Kosofsky spent four years documenting their relationship

    On a Sunday afternoon in October, Andrew Rahal locked his grandmother Elo’s wheelchair in place – “click it or ticket”, he told her – before heating up a bowl of borscht from the Armenian grocery store near their home in Granada Hills, California. He then sat in front of her, patiently feeding her spoon after spoon.

    Yeghsabeth “Elo” Voskian, 83, has vascular dementia and advanced Alzheimer’s disease. For nearly a decade, Andrew, 33, has been her full-time caregiver, assisting her from bed to wheelchair, showering her daily, managing her medications and helping her at meals. He is one of approximately 12 million millennials caring for a family member, a diverse cohort that already constitutes 23% of the caregiving population in the US, according to a 2020 AARP report. The number of millennial caregivers will almost certainly increase exponentially in coming years.

      ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants over accusations of Darfur atrocities

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Karim Khan says civilians being targeted and communities destroyed in western region of Sudan

    The prosecutor for the international criminal court has said he is seeking arrest warrants for people accused of atrocities in Sudan’s Darfur region, where the US and others have determined that a paramilitary group and its allies have perpetrated genocide.

    Karim Khan told the UN security council in New York: “Criminality is accelerating in Darfur. Civilians are being targeted, women and girls are subjected to sexual violence, and entire communities are left in destruction.

      My heart will go onstage: Celine Dion and Dolly Parton celebrated in outlandish musicals

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    The comedies Titanique and Here You Come Again pay homage to two superstars in quirky style. Actors Lauren Drew and Tricia Paoluccio explain what it’s like to portray their idols – and take on their iconic songs

    Most biodramas about musicians sing from the same hymn sheet: chart the rise to fame and any fall from grace, flit between studio and stage, make room for relevant lovers and demons. Then add the hits. Two new musicals may find Céline Dion belting out My Heart Will Go On and Dolly Parton warbling I Will Always Love You. But theatregoers should also prepare for this wild-eyed version of Dion to raise merry hell on the Titanic and this particular Parton to miraculously appear in the childhood bedroom of a depressed 40-year-old called Kevin.

    The off-kilter spirit of the shows, Titanique and Here You Come Again, make them more akin to the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man , featuring a CGI chimpanzee, than Timothée Chalamet’s Oscar-tipped turn as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown .

      ‘African art is not a fleeting trend’: Moroccan museum to celebrate rich creativity of continent’s artists

      news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 28 January, 2025

    Reopening after renovation, the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden will provide a permanent home for the extensive Lazraq family collection

    For more than four decades, the Lazraq family in Morocco has been amassing an extraordinary collection of modern and contemporary African art. One of the most comprehensive private holdings on the continent, it has mostly remained unseen, tucked away in vaults. But from next month, the collection will have a new permanent presence at the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (Macaal) in Marrakech.

    The revamped museum, founded by Othman Lazraq, the son of the real estate tycoon Alami Lazraq, has shifted towards a semi-permanent exhibition format, hosting 150 works on rotation from the 2,500-strong collection.
