  • Once I was home in the afternoon, with my months-old baby finally napping after god knows how long nursing her (very difficult to fall asleep between chronic stomach ache attacks, choppy nights, really miserable at that time).

    I hear a motorbike in the street, revving up the engine. I step outside, go to the (young) guy and tell him that my baby is trying to nap. The fucker says nothing, looks me in the eye and takes off at maximum speed/noise.

    Not that I really wished it at the moment, but statistically, the bastard is dead by now. Or maybe he has kids of his own and he’s doing good, being nice to people - who knows?








  • History tells us that there are steps that a country takes that can’t be reversed.

    Weaponizing the judiciary, cult of personality, paramilitary force that terrorize parts of the population, extreme politucal polarization,…

    Trump will go eventually, but his reign is an example for many ambitious men who will have or gain the power to impose their will on their fellow citizen and the world. Some will draw their power from anti-Trumpism, others are already building their career in his wake.

    The last 20 years have been a roller coaster of fear, resentment, political violence and pure hatred. Anyone who brings a sense of hope and security will grab the country like a ripe fruit and bring one form of the other of fascism.

    There is no coming back.
