Impressive October Lecture, not only for its content, but foremost for witnessing and listening to this very brave woman who rose to the occasion 5 years ago and who has truly become a presidential figure. The Belarusian people deserve her leadership !

Wonderful to meet @redmondohanlon.bsky.social at parting general director of @drentsmuseum.bsky.social Harry Tupan’s farewell exhibition “Wunderkammer”. And what an interesting and intriguing display it has become!

De betovering suddert nog steeds na! Herkenbare slotconclusie van Joost Galema’s recensie in @nrc.nl van de uitvoering van Mahler‘s tweede symfonie. Wat een geweldige prestatie van Iván Fischer en zijn Budapest Festival Orchestra! Dichter bij de hemel kun je, op de eerste balkonrij, niet komen!

International women’s day, en een passende mogelijkheid en plek om de solidariteit die dat vraagt te laten zien was natuurlijk de Feminist March in Amsterdam. Niet alleen mijn eigen politieke kleur steunde dat natuurlijk maar ook een bekende PvdA/GroenLinks wethouder uit Midden-Drenthe…

Motivated by the foreseeable climate ambitions of Team Trump and the lack of ambition in my own country (The Netherlands) I finalised reading Lynas’ excellent but rather depressing Six Degrees. Now ready for some perspective: can humanity survive?
