I wrote about The Isle of Skye, Virginia Giuffre, and tulips. It's a meditation on isolation and returning to the light. xo open.substack.com/pub/stroopwa...

Her courage inspired other women to come forward. Rest, Virginia. “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.”

One of the things we learned when we moved to the Netherlands is that it’s illegal for the Dutch government to keep lists about residents because the Dutch were such excellent data collectors the Nazis marched right in and used that info to round everyone up.

Can’t fully express what a nightmare scenario it is that eugenicists are creating a centralized database of people’s health info.

I think it’s pretty clear that when the two mega databases this administration is working on are immigrants and autistic people that nothing good is afoot

What continues to anger me is the understanding that Trump holds all the power, he can do or not do anything he wants with zero consequences and the people who enabled him to take this power, by voting for him or not voting against him, or not prosecuting him when they had the chance are responsible

I love how in amsterdam houses that cost 2 million euros still have a ladder as a staircase to get to the bedrooms. (I do not love it.)

I know I'm healing since moving to Amsterdam because it used to be when my former boss was in the news I'd fall down a hole and spiral spiral spiral but now it's barely a blip.

So, is anyone with authority going to call out the changed diagnostic criteria for Autism, and how until recently people with Autism were misdiagnosed? (My kid wasn’t diagnosed til age 16.) And also correct the other blatant wrongs about Autism in RFK’s speech?

"He spent much of his career being mislabelled as ideologically rightwing or misogynistic when in fact he’s more of a simpleton who agrees with almost everyone who comes on his show, even when the things they’re saying are contradictory."

I hope JK Rowling gets a hair permanently lodged in her eye that causes her constant discomfort and drives her insane.

For decades, U.S foreign policy was centered around the fear of war with Russia, and figuring out how to constrain its influence. Republicans consistently were at the vanguard of Russophobia. And then massive political shift emerged, in part driven by one wannabe American strongman.

“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”

I would not know the scope of yesterday’s peaceful protests by reading American legacy media reporting. It’s only through social media that I’m seeing how big and far reaching they were.

Canada’s official cautions about travel to the US should be front-page news globally. The US’s closest political and economic ally just told its citizens, in effect, to use burner phones when crossing the border. We’re in the backstory exposition of a cyberpunk dystopia right now.

The British man who chased down the guy who stabbed 5 people in the center of Amsterdam yesterday was awarded a hero's pin by the mayor. Thankful this wasn't in the US because you can't tackle and sit on a person with an automatic rifle. nltimes.nl/2025/03/28/b...
