If you know you have a busy laptop day ahead, you better get up early and enjoy the outdoors while you can. So we got up at 6am and went for a long walk by the beach, our front yard as we call it. Ended the walk with a swim in the fresh sea. #thisisthehague

Fully vaccinated! Got my 2nd Pfizer jab this morning at the ADO Den Haag football stadium. Two more weeks and I’ll be as protected as possible. Pretty exciting, feels like a major milestone. And hopefully allows us to travel in September when I’m off for some weeks #GetVaccinated

A cloudy day in The Hague, but we managed to get up early and go for a walk. A bit sore and tired today, possibly from yesterday’s vaccination, but that’s going to be very much worth it! #GetVaccinated

Does anyone have an idea what the relaxation of travel rules by the UK means for travel to Wales? We (fully vaccinated) hope to travel from the Netherlands to Wales by car (via the Eurotunnel) in September. We don’t mind testing but no quarantine. Will it be possible? #wales

Found a great airbnb in the German mountains, looks like an amazing place. Put in the reservation request hours ago but haven’t heard anything back yet. I might be checking my phone every 2 minutes and restarting the app every now and then. I just might ;) Fingers-crossed!

Giving my beard a trim before the new work week. Definitely wasn’t fully awake yet this morning and shaved the whole thing off. By accident. Ah well, hello school boy face, welcome back. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Two weeks ago I received my 2nd Pfizer jab, so I am now as protected against covid as one can be at the moment! Great feeling! Already created my EU travel QR code and ready to travel to Belgium (pictured) next weekend and to Germany in a month. #GetVaccinated

Afghans pass on their children to complete strangers, hoping they will have a chance to flee the country after the Taliban takeover. Before you judge Afghans for becoming refugees, think about what you would do if you would have no choice. It’s heartbreaking. 💔

Still one of the most amazing travelling experiences I ever had: Zip-lining through the Laos jungle for three days, sleeping in the highest tree houses in the world between trees full of gibbons. The adrenaline rush of flying over the canopy. The jungle sounds at night. Amazing.

I just love running in the rain, having the forest and streets to myself. No need to take shelter, I’m getting drenched anyway. After lots of summer rain, the sun showed itself again. A good run in the rain clears the head I find #runner #running #runningmotivation #mindful

Fantastische column van Tommy Wieringa. “Zoveel macht en invloed, zo weinig verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel” vat de huidige demissionaire regering goed samen.

Dit is 25 jaar geleden. Denk aan dit filmpje als iemand zegt: ‘we moeten nu niet dingen gaan overhaasten. Het moet wel haalbaar en betaalbaar zijn.’

First concert: Eric Clapton and Bonnie Raitt (1998) Last Concert: Kensington (2019) Best concert: Neil Young, Opeth or Rage Against the Machine Worst Concert: Bob Dylan (yes really) Loudest: So many..probably Vader Surprising: Bastille Seen most: Iron Maiden Wished: Nirvana Next?

Video shows the moment an 11-year-old hearing-impaired Palestinian girl was hit in the face with a stun grenade by Israeli forces at Damascus Gate ⤵️

If you’re confused about why Israeli police would attack mourners and rip down flags at Shireen Abu Aqla’s funeral the answer is in the question: to make the boot of its domination felt precisely at this moment of overwhelming Palestinian pain and anger

Wat is het toch een kansloze club. En straks weer geraaskal over 'een vaasje' dat we samen moet vasthouden.

Zaterdag twee demonstraties in Den Haag. De ene, van klimaatactivisten, bedreigt de winsten van het grootkapitaal. De andere, van industriële boeren, wil de winsten van het grootkapitaal juist beschermen. Je mag raden welke demonstratie het hardst wordt aangepakt.
