5 things you’ll find in my stories.
1. Stories shape our world(view)
2. cynicism is a cop-out, caring takes courage
3. you are worthy of love & to enjoy it
4. the enemy is a sick system, bent on driving us apart
5. nonviolent protest often is a way for the privileged to soothe their conscience

Heb je net de tangent-video 'Daddy-politics' van @contrapoints.bsky.social gekeken, blijkt dat Rutte weer niet onder wil doen in kruiperigheid. Wat beschamend.
Rutte noemt Trump een ‘daddy’ en prijst hem als vredesduif, terwijl diezelfde Trump een genocide financiert, een illegale oorlog tegen Iran voerde, migranten, journalisten en politieke opponenten opjaagt, en het Internationaal Strafhof in Den Haag openlijk bedreigt met sancties. Have some dignity!

Please read this piece by @gavingrant.bsky.social & @anneursu.bsky.social - it is very wise, and talks about chronic illness, & family, & friendship shifting, & writing monsters. As a chronically ill writer who wrote a book about it, boy did it resonate!

King's Day in the Netherlands, but as a fervent anti-monarchist, I don't care about that. Instead, why not look forward to the night of the 30th? Walpurgis Night. Witches' Night. Fire Night. Magic Night.
