Lief & licht Gentje: een (ietwat centrale) locatie waar een mens kan binnenvallen om enkele uurtjes "remote" te werken - hoofdzakelijk laptoppen, maar ook wel eens telefonen -, hebben jullie zoiets toevallig?
Echt openbare plaatsen (koffiebars enz) minder ideaal. #Dtv

Mensen reageren positief dat er sinds lang een meerjarenbegroting werd opgesteld. Bloempjes worden rondgestrooid. Nu blijkt dat Europa dit oplegt. Geef die mensen hun nieuw plein 😅

Ik ben onwaarschijnljjk verrast door het resultaat van de nieuwe spiraalkneedmachine. Perfect geknede gluten, super broodstructuur. The no knead mensen hebben ongelijk.

Na hem in de VS verkocht te hebben, vraag me af hoelang ik eraan ga kunnen weerstaan om terug een Bonnie aan te schaffen. Maar ik kijk ertegen op om in verstedelijkt Vlaanderen te rijden.

11 years in the US. It was quite a ride. Now we are relocating back to our home country Belgium. Two people arrived and three are going back (one little American). We had a wonderful time in the DMV. Many friends we leave behind, so many memories. Very grateful to have spent 23.4% of our life here.

As if the cuts were not enough, the Mali government just decided to tax all NGOs and humanitarian aid organizations for 10%. You wonder if they align their actions.

Awful news --> Delivery of therapeutic food assistance to nearly 400,000 severely malnourished kids abroad is suddenly in doubt due to Trump-Musk firings at USAID, two manufacturers of the product tell me.

"Starving children are waiting," one says.

Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Ugly Turn, Putting Starving Kids at Risk
Two U.S. nonprofits that manufacture a treatment sent by USAID to help severely malnourished children abroad say the process is in chaos. This isn’t what Marco Rubio said would happen.
