Van oorlog tot erotiek: hoe 14.000 kleipijpen de geschiedenis blootleggen
Wie een lade opentrekt bij Ruud Stam, opent geen opbergvak, maar een verhaal. Wie meer lades opent, beseft al snel: hier ligt geen verzameling, maar een archief.

Exclusive: Underdrawing suggests attempt to debunk myth that former wife of Henry VIII had sixth finger
Anne Boleyn’s Hever “Rose” portrait is one of history’s most iconic faces, with her “B” pendant, her French hood, her dark eyes and a red rose in her right hand. Now a secret that has remained hidden for nearly 500 years has been discovered beneath the layers of paint.

In the Muromachi period the custom of 'mamemaki' (豆撒き) first appeared. Unwanted spirits, thought to bring with them bad luck and sickness, were chased out of the home by the scattering of roasted soybeans.
The tradition is still popular to this day!

Ik ben het misbruik van onze vlag -die zou moeten staan voor trots op je leefomgeving en verbondenheid met je landgenoten- wel zó zat.
De driekleur wordt misbruikt om uit te sluiten, om weg te duwen, om iedere mogelijke inclusieve samenleving op voorhand al te saboteren.
Nationalisme is vergif.

Happy #Imbolc, ushered in by Brigid and her hare. Nature is stirring, there’s a full moon. The winter is ebbing away. The seeds scattered last year are waking up. Pat yourself on the back , you’ve made it through another winter.

I foraged this near Boddinick, Cornwall, in autumn 2020, then brought it home to the edge of Dartmoor, where it provided the filling for several sandwiches over the following week. Roscoe, however, was unimpressed.
