More sad news from Ukraine today. Oleksiy Yukov, the leader of the Black Tulips group that bravely retrieved the bodies of soldiers - Ukrainians and Russians alike - so that their families could give them a proper burial, has died. Spending a day with Yukov was both inspiring and terrifying. RIP.

Ukrainian volunteer unit braves minefields to bring back remains of the dead

The Black Tulips take pride in helping repatriate those who gave their lives fighting for Ukraine: ‘We’re helping bring our guys – who defended their country – home to their families, to their mothers...

Vandaag zeven jaar geleden overleed Toni Morrison (1931-2019). Lees Isis' blog over Morrisons korte verhaal Recitatif en waarom iedereen (ook lezers die niet van korte verhalen houden) dit moet lezen:

Recitatif - Toni Morrison | Athenaeum | Scheltema - Amsterdam

<p><b>A stunning, timeless story about race, friendship, what keeps us apart and what drives us apart, from the one and only Toni Morrison, with an introduction by Zadie Smith.</b><br><br>Twyla and Roberta have known each other since they were eight years old, when they were thrown together in a girls' shelter. Inseparable then, they lose touch as they grow older, only to meet again later at a diner, a grocery store and then at a protest. <i>Recitatif</i> keeps Twyla's and Roberta's races ambiguous - we know that one is white and one is black, but which is which? And who is right about the race of the woman the girls tormented at the orphanage?<br><br><b>BRIEF ENCOUNTERS: classic novellas and captivating stories, to be read in a single sitting or savoured over days.</b></p>

I've seen enough Bond films to know that if the follically challenged head of a corrupt organisation invites you to a meeting in an exotic location, you do not go. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Collega (hij heeft zelf 2 poezen) heeft tot zijn schrik 2 kittens in de binnentuin gevonden. Ongeveer 12 weken. Moederziel alleen in de binnentuinen. Gedumpt. Maar die kleintjes hebben mazzel. Want binnen een dag hadden ze huis! Forever home heet dat op de socials. Geadopteerd door andere collega’s

So interesting 💭 "Relighting 'Nighthawks' - bit.studio reimagines Edward Hopper's classic artwork, turning the most crucial element, the 'light,' into something you can actually control!" The exhibit is held at the bit.studio gallery on the 3rd floor, Slowcombo building in Samyan, Bangkok. #art

Loopje Haarlemmerdijk en - straat richting Amsterdam Centraal is ‘s ochtends langs de opengemaakte vuilnisbakken lopen en oppassen dat je niet op een slapend iemand stapt. Het is niet best. www.parool.nl/misdaad/hoe-...

Hoe met overlast wordt omgegaan verschilt in Amsterdam soms van straat tot straat: ‘Het zou fijn zijn als er één duidelijke aanpak zou komen’

In Amsterdamse gebieden met veel criminaliteit en (drugs)overlast geldt een lappendeken van maatregelen om die overlast te bestrijden. Soms verschilt het beleid zelfs per straat. Is dat paniekvoetbal ...
