so today when I saw a KLM promo for destination Lagos I was 1st shocked,then finally angry

in nearly 20 years of flying KLM I’ve never seen a Nigeria promo

even this promo did not survive a “safety warning” (I also feel unsafe in Europe 🤷🏾‍♂️)

How can KLM deport a child to an “unsafe” destination?

recently a Dutch immigration lawyer contacted me for medical advise to prevent an elderly person living with hiv from deportation

back & forth took several weeks but eventually the deportation order was stopped

I’ve been on KLM flights with deportees screaming
It’s harrowing to see & hear

Anecdote about underreported clash of ethics

between business model of “modern”, capitalist private #healthcare

More vet clinics in the Netherlands shut down over mandates to overbill, overprescribe & maximize profit.

one head of a public health department in southern Nigeria looked at me real strange when I said I was coming back

my thesis included words like decolonization

meanwhile he was spending more time hunting down grants than being present as an academic

it’s a structural, near existential dilemma

Er zitten twee kanten aan. Aan de ene kant is Ramaphosa een zeer ervaren diplomaat. En dat merk je.

Aan de andere kant laten narcisten, inclusief racisten, zich niet paaien door superieure argumenten.

Sterker nog, ze kunnen erdoor geprovoceerd worden, of zelfs sterker worden door de poging.

Prachtig beeld bij @nieuws.nos.nl 👍🏽

Joni Mitchell.

Not a terrible idea.

But we do need to progress so that it looks not like a hologram.

It’s mostly in the eyes.

Gen Z & younger would disagree

seems to be a rule made by thinkers from a time when calculators, phones etc were still separable from school & daily life

they should stop making old laws for a new generation

also bizarre how this alacrity is missing for guns.
