Just like their state, minus the unfortunately part

This is praxis btw

It was on the Dutch page at least

It’s nice to not melt away in my own home every day. I’ll never forget our first 40+ degree day some years ago while working in an office that had mandatory long sleeve shirt + pants rules. Without AC. Felt like dying.

Can’t blame them for not going outside and talking to, you know, people organising and stuff

I was looking for information on the Provisional IRA on wikipedia and I saw that Wikipedia added a note saying that the information on the page was provided by the CIA.

Thanks, Wikipedia, for warning me to ignore it.

‘specifically designated economical hubs with combined population nearly 10x larger has higher economy than much smaller area’

Drowning, electrocuting and starving cats

😡😡😡😡

Drowning, electrocuting and starving billions of cows, pigs and chickens

🥰🥰🥰 Hmmm bacon tho 🥓🥓🥓

With some of the extreme summers we have had last years you almost forget what the weather is supposed to be over here: clouds, some sun, 22 degrees Celsius, rain. It’s how this specific corner of the earth became a very habitable one in the first place. But since it’s not 28-30+ degrees and blaring sun, people are now saying we have a shit summer. I’m glad the weather is ‘normal’ for a few weeks now.

Also, Pride Week in my city this week. I ordered a subtle ACAB shirt and I intend to wear it. Not sure if I participate in the parade or if I’ll just watch though.

Had a tour of the arts in the city last saturday when many museums opened their doors at night as a special event. A lot of paintings were about the golden age of Antwerp around the 1500-1600 period in which it was one of, if not the most important city in the world. It was the largest European city after Paris at the time.

You’d think: ‘wow that’s cool’ until you realise many of these things were achieved because of colonialism and slave trade. As is always the case in Europe.

My (near) burnout phase seems to continue. I hoped after the weekend was done and after spending a week at home it would be better but I can’t shake the anxious feeling I have, which sucks. There’s also this feeling of guilt that comes with it, for me at least, because I keep thinking about how so many people in this world have it worse than I do and they keep on going, so why can’t I? But that’s not a good mentality to have, of course.

China is going to overtake the rest of the world in basically every single aspect. Just look at their major cities and how insanely modern they are, for example. Soon people cannot ignore China anymore.

Yer allowed to say fuck Johnny boy

I wonder if AI is going to turn people mad like computers did in the 60s when they were first introduced. Like, I already see people commenting online on real vids ‘this is AI this is AI!!!’ and that the owner has to explain that, no, it is not.

I always wonder how wary they are against non Western non communist countries. Ultimately opening up to more countries and doing stuff like this seems like a good way to break the western hegemonic view of the country.

A wolf attacked a child in The Netherlands today. I’m curious to see how long they will last. Every square centimeter of ‘nature’ is managed there and you can’t have actual wildlife in the country because everybody and their mother sees ‘nature’ as a fun little hike with no problems at all. God forbid actual animals start living in the country. Or worse, that people have to watch out for something.

Same here. Companies like Total Energy, Deloitte, the cops, multiple right wing parties are joining. It’s just a corp and pink washing fest at this point.

Some left wing orgs organised an alternative pride some weeks ago with a decent turnout. Hopefully it gets some following here and inspires people abroad to do the same.

I’m crashing out harder than I expected. On day three of staying at home right now thinking it was going to be a little break to prevent a further crashing but I’m starting to wonder if it isn’t too late already. I’m just really tired and emotional. Like, even standing up requires an unreasonable amount of effort. I have one task for the day of picking up a package for my partner and it’s stressing me out. But at the same time I don’t want to sleep or stay in the house for the entire day.

It’s a really strange experience to say the least. Looking back there were definitely some signs that I should slow down but honestly I expected a more gradual change in mental state. This just feels like hitting a wall that was suddenly there. Fuck this system man.

Seems Japan and Russia are more at risk. Sixth largest earthquake ever recorded btw.

Would love to visit. A tour would be nice but ultimately I’d love to go and move freely if possible. Not yet though I think.
