Knowledge is power. The most famous library in history, the Library of Alexandria, was partially built on books "from the ships". When your ship arrived in the harbour of Alexandria, it was searched for books. Those books that were interesting enough for […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

They don’t care. The sooner we realise that, the better. They don’t care about truth. About impact. About nuance. Beauty. Science. Insights. Us. They only care about raw power, and only when they are wielding it. Power that only serves themselves, not society as a whole. They don’t care.

This could have been a shared garden or a park or a playground or an urban forrest or a pond or a meeting place. Instead it’s a parking. #HolidayRentalView #CarDependency

Some of the most annoying people in the world are the ones who say "I told you so" and/or "I said that (long) before you did" or words to that effect. Someone else almost certainly thought of your great idea before you did. When someone new arrives to the party, please just welcome them.

Als we in ons gezin een gezelschapsspel gaan spelen, en we vinden niet onmiddellijk welk,… dan hanteer ik de *biechtstoelprocedure*. Eén voor één komen de gezinsleden bij mij, om te zeggen welke spelen ze 'graag', 'eventueel' en 'niet' zouden willen spelen. Vaak geraken we er na één of twee […]

I love the 15-minute city concept, with its focus on time, rather than speed or distance. Locating the necessities of life within easy reach makes speed irrelevant. With less time spent between places, we have more time to be places.

It’s not “the environment” we are destroying. It is ourselves. The environment will be fine without us. The environment may send a fleet of glaciers down from the poles to grind away a hundred of million of years of rock. The environment may spew hot basalt over the land for thousands of years […]

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.
