Yesterday, we proudly joined De Straat Op in Amsterdam — united in purpose.

🌍 In solidarity with those affected by climate chaos, authoritarianism & unjust systems.

✌️ We walked peacefully — against hate and division, for justice and dignity for all.

Nederland, in de VS is het erger dan jullie denken, ga ons niet slaapwandelend achterna 'Ik ben hoogleraar natuurkunde aan een universiteit in de VS die op de frontlinie staat van de aanval op democratie. Daar zie ik hoe het autoritaire draaiboek wordt afgestoft.

What happens across the Atlantic will soon happen in NL. We are not immune! Already, there’s a turn towards extreme right politics, attacks on democratic rights & a gutting of the education budget. Let’s learn before it’s too late. www.volkskrant.nl/columns-opin... #science #USA #climate #diversity

1/ 🗣️ Yesterday, #EFFAT took part in the consultation of social partners on the @ec.europa.eu’s upcoming #QualityJobs Roadmap, invited by Executive VP @roxanaminzatu.bsky.social. The roadmap aims to promote decent work, social equity & just transitions. Launch expected end of 2025.

“When I find it, I’ll pull that garment
from its hanger like I’m choosing a body
to carry me into this world, through
the birth-cries and the love-cries too,
and I’ll wear it like bones, like skin,
it’ll be the goddamned
dress they bury me in.”

Kim Addonizio’s “What Do Women Want?” shook me to my core. Here is a short excerpt. The rest you can find here www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42520/...
“I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want.”

Night Bitch by Rachel Yoder. It resonated in me in a way that a book hasn’t done in a while. But I do feel that it can only be truly understood by a specific audience.

I always turned to art when needing to process my thoughts and feelings. And few artists express raw emotion with such simplicity and power as Louise Glück does. #BookSky #LouiseGlück #Poetry

Today we again joined @xrnl.bsky.social in blocking the A12 in the Hague to demand that the Dutch government stops subsidizing the fossil fuel industry. These subsidies exceed 40 billion euros annually.
