18.11.2024 07:36 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I expect them to crumble sooner rather than later. I’m still annoyed that the VVD and the NSC thought it better to govern with PVV rather than form a centrist coalition with PVDA, etc. Ruling with the PVV should have been a red line for all of the parties.

26 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline.
It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.
Aw I did this to myself in Perth, in sandals. Had to buy socks and shoes to make it back to the hotel. 😬
