The fact that Virginia Woolf wrote to a friend about Vita's legs "If I were she, I would merely stride, with 11 Elk hounds behind me, through my ancestral woods." takes me out.

Heeft iemand een goede starter pack/feed voor Nederlandse politiek? Want ik merk nu toch wel heel erg dat mijn Bluesky feed voornamelijk Amerikaanse politiek is en ik wil alle kabinet drama graag volgen

Wat bedoel je "voor het eerst een rechts kabinet" #Yesilgöz? Moet toch pijnlijk zijn voor Rutte om dit te horen nadat hij al die jaren zo hard z'n best heeft gedaan op een volledige afbraak van de verzorgingsstaat...

Screenshot van een NOS artikel van 3 juni waarin VVD-leider Yesilgöz gequote wordt: "Ik hoop dat kabinet er vanavond nog zit met alles wat er aan de hand in het land en de wereld en met voor het eerst een rechts kabinet."

Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be. We have always been here.

In het gezegde "oude koeien uit de sloot halen", liggen er sindskort oude koeien in de sloot of liggen er koeien van onbepaalde leeftijd al lang in de sloot? En kunnen koeien zwemmen/is de sloot ondiep? Mn vraag is eigenlijk gewoon, leven de koeien nog? Want dan moeten we ze er denk ik uithalen...

I might have just taken the most Dutch photo ever

An old, dark green bicycle is leaning against some blue chairs in a train. Behind the bike is a window through which a flat, farming landscape with trees can be seen and a blue sky with many clouds.
The saddle cover is light green and features a famous Dutch cartoon dog (Takkie)

I'm sure spring nature is very beautiful. Too bad I can't see any of it, because the pollen are attacking my eyes and I can barely keep them open. Enjoy the flowers for me please.

Nobody tell me if they cover the TB suspicions in the Netflix original The Empress, I haven't finished season 2 yet. I do now kind of want to go through every piece of Kaiserin Elisabeth media (there's a lot!) again to see if TB is mentioned...

These instances of illness were probably psychosomatic and a good indication of how she felt in Vienna. However, her quick recoveries might have furthered the incorrect theory that a warm environment is an effective treatment for TB patients among some European doctors.

The doctor of the real Empress Elisabeth did indeed think she had TB and recommended time in a warm environment, first Madeira, and later Corfu. In both instances her coughing and fever improved quickly in these environments, but worsened almost immediately upon her return to Vienna.

#EverythingIsTuberculosis, including the 1957 third installment of the original #Sissi movies (Fateful Years of an Empress). In this movie, Sissi develops a pain that is diagnosed as a life-threatening lung disease, probably referring to tuberculosis.

Romy Schneider portraying Sisi is lying in an armchair outside on a sunny balcony overlooking mountains, surrounded by tropical plants. She is accompanied by Senta Wengraf, who plays Countess Bellegarde.

Romy Schneider, portraying Sisi, is standing up. The back of her dress is open while Dr. Seeburger (played by Hans Ziegler) is listening to her lungs with an old-fashioned, wooden stethoscope.

I am completely surprised by this news and can't believe what I'm reading. All jokes aside, I am still so happy for y'all and these pictures are peak pregnancy-announcement-pictures!

I can't have been the only one who misread this as Niall Horan and was very confused about why a former 1D legend was making a smallpox documentary

I'm not sure what the every-day hammer equivalent of this would be, but whenever I lose/forget my medical hammer I refuse to go look for it and instead use the most ridiculous substitutions (side of a stethoscope works great, pen not so much). Maybe try a good stone?

Remember the guy who went to Davos and told billionaires to pay their taxes? @rutgerbregman.com's brilliant book #MoralAmbition is now also out in English and he's calling on people with lots of skills and useless jobs to quit and focus on the big problems (and he'll pay you to do that).

That makes sense. I guess I'm just not very well-versed on local American culture lol

I love current pope Bluesky. I am however not getting any of the Chicago jokes. Is it like a Florida man thing? Why is it particularly funny that he's from Chicago? What's ope? What's deep dish? (Actually, I know that one, it's a disgusting-looking pizza). Someone please help me.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

See for example this discussion about how many Leos there have been and a random person suggesting to add the traits of a Leo (astrological sign) on the page.

If you're bored, I can recommend reading the talk page. It's very fresh and I love people discussing copy with a lot of passion (though that might just be me)

I can't believe with how much confidence I was joking just last week about Americans really thinking we were gonna get an American pope. I guess it's a good reminder to stick to shit I actually know something about.

Credit for the designs of the stickers goes to so many different Nerdfighters! My sister really did an internet deep dive to find some of these.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I thought you might appreciate this early birthday present my little sister made for me. Hopefully it'll help me hear "Marco" and say "Polo" more. The quote on the first page is from your acknowledgement in #EverythingIsTuberculosis, which made me cry.

The notebook is opened to the first page. On the left (attached to the cover) is written "marco" in small handwriting. On the right is a large red box, in the box is written:
this TB-Fighter notebook belongs to
Elianne
"you are truly made of awesome"

A hand holding the notebook up to show the back cover. On the back cover is the TB Fighter hourglass design: the hourglass is white with the sand in red

Lol I have a very strange mix of a British (taught in schools here), American (lived there for 6 months as a kid), Irish (lived there for 9 months) and Dutch accent in English. Which usually just confuses people, but I can always pretend I'm not mispronouncing a word, just using a different accent!

As a non-native speaker it's very validating to know that native speakers also sometimes struggle with some of these

Prepping for a potluck tomorrow. I think my dad would be proud of my pancake stack, all thanks to his recipe though.

I'd totally forgotten about the hot fleabag priest. Thanks for the reminder.

Sometimes I remember that mustard soup is a Dutch concept, which makes me really sad for everyone else, because y'all are missing out on a truly top tier soup
