IJzersterke inbreng van @christinepvdd.bsky.social in het debat over demonstratierecht. Ik heb zelf proto-autoritaire trekjes van de staat meegemaakt, zowel in acties als retoriek, rondom de Palestine-demos, en ben blij met dit pleidooi voor onze vrijheden.

The yearly reminder that this month might be a high point on the Christian calendar but it's a total exhaustion fest in the level of expectations and to-do's. So just cozy up to your to-don't list and stop "shoulding" yourself.

THE DARK LORD HAS RETURNED TO MORDOR
This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.
