We have a perfect Rectangular February coming up, first time we’ve had one since 2015
Maybe this is what finally closes the loop and fixes the world

First Dutch bike accident since we got here a few years ago, thanks to compacted snow that went icy. My US brain was like “gotta get out of road immediately,” but of course cars behind me immediately stopped with plenty of room, several people checked on me, someone got my bike out of the road….

2026 is going to be a year of both horrors and victories, and I think many people, both on the left and liberals new to political activism, will struggle with the victories.
Therapy has taught me it's important to inoculate yourself knowing you can't pretend how you'll respond when you win.

Alle uitslagen van alle vier onderdelen van de staatsexamens NT2 programma II van vorige maand: klaar! En helemaal geslaagd 😅 Nu heb ik wel Nederlands verslagen (nou ja, nu kan ik verder studeren maar alleen voor de nuttigheid)

Man, we gotta dance to the songs that we vibe with while we’re still stepping. World ain’t gonna give us a non-stop symphony.

Hey Amsterdam! Zin om mee te zingen? Come for an evening singing workshop with my sweet queer choir — we rehearse in Dutch, but so much music is beyond language, if that's not your forte! 😉 En als je helemaal thuis voelt in het Nederlands, dan is het óók best wel fijn pride.amsterdam/event/worksh...
Workshop Klassiek Koorzingen
Kom tijdens Pride Amsterdam naar The Social Hub voor een vrolijke workshop waar je samen met Galakoor Queer Klassiek en onder leiding van Sjaiesta Badloe de sterren van de hemel kunt zingen!

"I’ve looked at [the photos] multiple times today — I’ve been proud, I’ve been upset, I’ve been startled. Seeing our work repurposed in a moment of collective action was humbling and powerful," RIOS co-CEO Andy Lantz told @dianabudds.bsky.social
How these hot pink chairs became a symbol of the L.A. protests
The architecture firm Rios designed the street furniture for Gloria Molina Grand Park to have “endless configurations.” They never could have imagined it would be used as a shield.

Waking up to devastating news for British trans people facing a truly awful ruling from their Supreme Court. This follows a manufactured campaign of lies, panic, and ignorance based on a playbook now unfolding in the US. I know the fight continues, but my heart is with you today and always
