Lazy artist, with a love for snowboarding and mountain biking. Utterly horrified by our current human world. In order to change the world we have to change humans. What we value, how we value it, how we speak, how we think. From Chimp to Bonobo.

Der AFD: “das gegender soll aufhören!” Ich, mittlerweile, will einfach gekochte Eier kaufen. Die es nür auf Blau und rosa gibt….
Weil eine freie wahl zum selbsterfassung nicht gewünscht is?
#Rollaugenmoment
Gekochte Eier in packaging: rosa und blau gefarbt. Andere Farben gab es nicht. (Schweizer Coop: ich verwende dieses Bild für eine Gender ‘rant’)

Resurfacing after three weeks of blissfull art making - of which two weeks in a Salzburg Summer Academy Course. It was awesome.
The fortress of Salzburg as seen from the old town. View through a window on the third floor of the fortress of Salzburg, looking down over the lands the bisshops once ruled with too heavy a hand. It is a grey rainy day. The interior of an art classroom in the armoury (est 1716) of the Salzburg fortress. The interior of an art classroom in the attic of said armory.

Aha... the cardrivers favourite fearmonger, again!

Dutch GDP 1.367 trillion.
Research shows that bike industry means growth for local businesses. It is the big businesses that will suffer, they push this trope..

I can warmly recommend the YouTube channel 'not just bikes'

Also, von Redecker says this about fascism:
I think she hits the nail on the head there.

More than ten years ago, I started my "Hannah Arendt" drawings series in my artwork. I lamented that the (Western) world needed thinkers like her desperately but did not have them.

Today, I stand corrected.

Reading Eva von Redecker's "Revolution for life"

OF COURSE it would be a German voice...

Just now reading about exactly that. (Sylvia Frederici: “witches, witch hunts and women” 2018)
Picture of a page of the book by Sylvia Frederici: “Witches, witch hunting and women” on this page she lays out how capitalism was the scheme the feudal powerful used to keep in power when the medieval resistance movements gained too much steam to counter with mere repression. We are right now at a similar turn in history… (the second picture is also a page of this book, explaining how the mythicalisations of ‘terrible crimes’ works; like in the witch hunts, in the communist hunt by mc Carthy, in the war on terror and the constant devaluation of immigrants; all to gain control over the populace through fear.

In a café where they serve the best bread and coffee in town. Desperately trying to ignore the multiple shit shows out there while reading about historical shitshows that echo the current ones..

I see this post is liked a lot (yay) so a follow up just in case some swoop in to call bullshit: this document is now in the possession of the RAZU (Regional Archives South Utrecht) and being processed. A snapshot of the scan I made of it: the first page of 17.

Layli Long Soldier: “Obligations 2”
The poem “obligations 2” by Layli Long Soldier. Written in such a way, there are many ways to read it.

Women have a hard time: they create 150 years of feminism. Fight for equal rights, equal pay, voting rights, bodily autonomy.... Boys have it hard: they want to devalue others and go back to women having no autonomy and independence, because that will... help them??

It is just darn stunning, really.. Sometimes I wonder if the witch hunts will be back again. (And all those who now roll their eyes blaming me of being 'hysterical' read Sylvia Frederici - Caliban and the witch)

A cartoon of a lone man carrying two bags of groceries standing in front of a line of Tesla trucks, blocking their way. In the same way as that famous picture from Tiananmen square.

Aha!! A fellow Dan Carlin listener! Thank you for the recommendation, which is right up my alley. I have listened to Dan Carlin’s HH ever since king of kings I came out. (“You feel lucky, punk?”) May I recommend these books (plus ‘debt, the first 5000 years’ but I lend it out..)

Once upon a time, building palaces like this with near free resources and near slave labour was normal. The oligarchs want to be in that position again. Any oligarchs, from anywhere.
