Op naar de klimaatmars in Amsterdam vandaag!

a sketchbook propped up against a vase with sunflowers, the rudimentary sketch (dated 12/09/2026) is of a sign saying that there is no planet b, with a globe next to the words. In a corner, #klimaatmars is written

It is so goddamn perfect out in Cambridge today. Here's your plan: 1. Wander to your local bookstore 2. Buy a book on a whim. (Don't overthink it, don't make it hard) 3. Get a tasty beverage 4. Set up somewhere outside & read for a bunch 5. Remember you deserve joy

"What are the peasants' demands?" the king asked. "Fair taxes, stronger rights, fewer privileges for nobles." "Bollocks! Send knights out to disperse them." "They have dragons, sire." "What?" "The dragons claim a more equal society is more stable and prosperous." "They hoard countries now?"

Panel 2: Browsing in a charming local bookshop despite not speaking a word of the language

Panel 3: Browsing in the Airbnb despite there being only four novels, the oven manual and a pizza menu

Everything is terrible but books are good. Especially books written by real people. Talk about your books. Show us your art. Let us see the cool stuff you make. You need it but we need it too. Art helps maker and receiver get their heads above the rough, churning waters of reality. No shame in it.

So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.

I probably should have checked how hot the chilis from the allotment are before chucking the entirety of the first one I harvested into my dinner…

New idea just dropped: a cat library. Like a cat cafe, but with books. Read your library book with a cat in your lap.

No amount of hard work will ever earn you sleep that good. 🐾

A cozy illustration of a tiny black cat sleeping upside down on a large, fluffy bed piled high with colorful pillows. The cat is completely relaxed, with its paws in the air and a peaceful smile. A window beside the bed reveals a dark blue evening sky. Above the scene, the text reads: “No matter how hard you worked or how tired you got, you’ll never sleep as well as a cat who just did absolutely nothing all day.” The soft purple and pastel tones create a warm, calm, and comforting atmosphere.

spotted some curly kale in between the calendula (I thought the snails had gotten it all) and harvested my first tomatoes of the season in the backyard. and something’s been gnawing on my aubergine plant…

The zucchini plants in the allotment are doing what zucchini plants do and so I’ve been trying some new zucchini-forward recipes lately.

I see @tkingfisher.com, I buy @tkingfisher.com, I read @tkingfisher.com — Or I would, anyway, if my cats would stop meowing at me to entertain them. Which somehow seems fitting, given that apparently, there’s a narcissistic cat in this book.

Excellent and empoweringe educacioun will nevir be "efficient" yn the waye that a businesse doth stryve to be "efficient." It ys the heighte of knavery to use one standarde to measure everye human activitye. Businesses are ther to make profits. Educacioun ys ther to make the future.

"No," the swordmaster said. "One does not refuse the king," the herald said. "I do. I will not train his soldiers or officers, I will not tell my students to join his army, I will not support his unjust war." "You will regret this!" "No," the swordmaster said.

Every morning, the queen asked her magic mirror to show her the most beautiful person in the world. The mirror replied "To whom?" "The miller who made the flour for my bread," the queen would say, or "Whoever spun the thread my shawl was made of". The mirror would show her, and she'd be amazed.

“Dangerous ice” (It’s 19 degrees Celsius.)

A public park with a lake, the sky a bright blue and the lake equally blue and calmly reflecting trees and part of the old city walls.

A sign stands before the lake, warning (in Dutch) of dangerous ice.
