Of course I love all fishes but I love big fishes just a little bit more. 😍 Face-to-face with a giant Whale shark above the submarine volcano Princess Alice Banks in the middle of nowhere 80 km from the Azores in the North Atlantic Ocean. August 21, 2024.

See these eyes, so green
I can stare for a thousand years
Colder than the moon
It's been so long
Feel my blood enraged
It's just the fear of loosing you
Don't you know my name?
Well, you've been so long
See these eyes, so red
Red like jungle burning bright

It feels so strange
Shameless to think of death
When none of those one knows has died
Last night I dreamt I was dead
I came running with my dog into the room of the dead
There was nothing to be seen
Only stones and a few bushes
A landscape that travellers have often spoken of
I would rather not die

Op tijd weg uit de carnavalshel die Den Bosch morgen is. Bizarre waanzin dat al op 11 november de stad gegijzeld wordt door dronken lallende mafklappers. Wat helemaal geen 'traditie' is maar pas onlangs gecultiveerd commercieel opgefokt horecafestijn. Je schaamt je dood voor Brabant.

Kan ook in Nederland. Als je veel geld hebt maar ook als je maar een paar honderd of paar duizend euro hebt. Koop grond via @landvanons.bsky.social voor meer biodiversiteit en duurzame landbouw. Industriële giftige landbouw kunt u gewoon zelf stoppen door de landbouwgrond te kopen.
Als je geld hebt, doe dit.
Zo goed, dit

Don't panic. Organise! It is rational to slowly start panicking. However it is more useful and productive to organise a crack down on the fossil industry.
Sea ice along the Atlantic edge of the Arctic is at a record low for this time of year.
The Arctic, our greatest protector from climate chaos, is unravelling before our eyes.

De les van Kristallnacht gaat niet alleen over wat de Nazi’s deden.
De les gaat over…
🚩gewone burgers die niets deden.
🚩mensen die wegkeken, toekeken, aanmoedigden, lachten, meehielpen.
🚩partijen die zeggen ‘extreemrechts te verafschuwen’ maar hen ook geen strobreed in de weg leggen.

36 years ago today. What we learned is that every totalitarian system collapses at the end of the day. What we know now is that being a democratic constitutional society is not for granted. We need a permanent fight to keep fascism and other totalitarisms down. Whatever it takes.

Ukraine-born sculptor Oleksandr Archypenko revolutionized modern art with Cubist forms & sculptural voids.
Though celebrated worldwide, his work was erased in Soviet Ukraine. His works appear in MoMA, Centre Pompidou & Tate. Just 14 of his pieces remain in Ukraine.
He died in exile in NYC in 1964.

Very interesting. I learn that some of my habits come from all over Europe. Such as eating 5 times at day and a preference for fermented foods. Also while sometimes waking up at or before 05.00h a powernap sometimes happens.
