In herinnering: het wonderbaarlijk leven van Václav (1936-2011) die van toneelschrijver en dissident tot president van Tsjechoslowakije werd na de ondergang van het communisme. Hij poogde steeds (voorbeeldig) in waarheid te leven. Dit is zijn geboortedag: wimberkelaar.com/2016/12/04/h...

Het taaie humanisme van Václav Havel, de dissident die president werd
Hoewel Václav Havel evenals als Nelson Mandela en Martin Luther King een icoon had kunnen worden van vrijheid en verdraagzaamheid is hij na zijn dood in 2011 vrij snel in de vergetelheid geraakt. T…

Britain knew about the Holocaust as it happened. A new exhibition reckons with that truth
Research draws upon reporting and witness testimony, while a permanent memorial is planned for London The “complex and unsettling” story of what Britain knew during the Holocaust is being explored amid plans to create a new permanent national memorial. An exhibition highlighting how news of the atrocity reached Britain much earlier than is commonly understood will tour the country after being viewed privately by MPs at Portcullis House on the parliamentary estate at Westminster in September.

A decade ago, a “weird” kitten was found on a road near a Bolivian forest. Too small to be a housecat, he had a scrunched-up face, short round ears, long whiskers, & a coat of leopard-like spots. DNA analysis now reveals him as the very first of a newly discovered species & I think I'm in love. 😻🧬🧪👇

Here's an ace poem by Matt Merritt. It might seem a bit of fun at first, but it packs a real punch...
Comeback

And to finish I'll double
- no, treble - the black.
Corner pocket, after getting
just enough screwback
on the final red.

This one's for all the times
we played for safety
when we could have played
for so much more.

For all the times we worried
about keeping
one foot on the floor.

Matt Merritt

Forget the map. Trust the woods.
Photo by Damian Siodłak. Two diverging paths wind through a golden autumn forest, their gravel surfaces lined with fallen leaves. Sunlight filters through the canopy of yellow and green, casting dappled patterns on the ground. The serene beauty of the scene invites reflection, symbolizing choice and the quiet passage of time amidst nature's seasonal splendor.
