It's been a whole week already since I joined BlueSky! Didn't even say 'hi' or 'how's it going', I just went straight to #parrot posting 🤭. Don't worry, I am not a bot, these posts are not automated, it's all done manually 🦜. I used to do this on Twitter too, but left that place a long time ago.

Heartbreaking. The Drents Museum in Assen, where I worked for a time, was the target of a violent heist last night. Several objects from the exhibition "Dacia - Empire of Gold and Silver" have been stolen. Unique, irreplaceable objects of immense, historic value.
