Ook heel bijzonder; schelptekeningen! Ik heb meerdere ijsvogels en die doen het prachtig op zo’n Japanse oester, het lijkt net porselein! €57,45 inclusief lijst en verzenden. Dat is een koopje voor iets wat met de hand getekend is! Stuur een DM bij interesse of via www.hetwonderkabinet.nl

“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”

De toonaangevende filosoof Achille Mbembe (68) pleit voor meer aandacht voor het ‘Afrikaanse archief’. Hij ontving deze week de Spinozalens, onder meer omdat hij Europeanen een confronterende spiegel voorhoudt. ‘Het idee dat mensen verheven zijn boven andere wezens, is ons met geweld opgedrongen.’

In first grade, Logan wore his hair long to connect with his Native culture.
His school demanded he cut it, but after Logan and his family pushed back, the school updated its rules to allow for long hair on boys.

ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny

It was warrantless and no ID was shown.
