Jij,
altijd.
Langzaam

vooruit. Tot
die herfstnacht,
koud.

Gierend
tot stilstand.

-

You,
always.
Slowly

forward.
An autumn night,
cold.

Squealing
to a halt.

After an informative and inspiring day on transgressive behaviour, there is even more new reading material for me in Caroline Koetsenruijter's signed book 'Jij moet je bek houden' (You need to shut up).

Cover of the book I received ‘Jij moet je bek houden' (You need to shut up) by Caroline Koetsenruijter. How to recognize and deal with transgressive behaviour.

Interesting presentation yesterday about African philosophy Ubuntu. I am because we are, and we are because the earth is.

Focusing not on 'I' but on the community & feeling responsible for an inclusive society. Going to read this book Opsoek naar Ubuntu (In Search of Ubuntu) by Annette Nobuntu Mul.
Interesting presentation yesterday at Humanist association ( @HumanVerbondNijmeg ) about African philosophy Ubuntu. “I am because we are, and we are because the earth is.” Focusing not on 'I' but on the community & feeling responsible for an inclusive society. Going to read this book Opsoek naar Ubuntu (In Search of Ubuntu) by Annette Nobuntu Mul ( @UbuntuSociety ). I see so many overlaps with my own view of how I would like to see society. Wonderful!

Oh yeah, always a nerve-wracking moment, but being ready on time at #Ticketmaster & having a good strategy, we managed to get our 3-day tickets for #NorthSeaJazz Festival in Rotterdam next summer.

Not even a single name made public of any artist to be performing, but today tickets go on sale and usually will be sold out in minutes. Screenshot from Ticketmaster website being no 1 on the waitinglist to buy 3-day-tickets for North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam next summer.

Let’s commemorate transgender & non-binary people who became victims of transphobic violence in ‘25. They deserve safety, dignity & respect. Their right to exist is not up for debate.

For a moment forget the harshness that is painfully visible when you look at the big picture, but see the softness in a much smaller field of vision.

Of course, #MVT was present at the memorial concert for the #MiamiShowBand massacre in #Dublin 10 days ago. Don't know the story? Watch the 2019 Netflix documentary. Proceeds from the evening went to the #IrishCancerSociety, which we wholeheartedly supported.
