When you realise there is less time between Radiohead releasing Pablo Honey and Kid A than there is between when you started collecting data for your book and the final edits...
When you also realise Pablo Honey to Kid A is less time than you’ve been at your current institution and you realise things in music change A LOT faster than institutional culture...
The UvA...
What happened to the ice?
When you realise that as a scholar you have grown but your institution has stayed still...

OK so flag thread... amongst the usual suspects of US flags, Gadsden (Don't Tread On Me) flags, TRUMP flags there were Thin Blue Line flags OK not surprising, but hang on what's that green tree on a white background flag...? Well... #CapitolInsurrection #CapitolRiots #CapitolHill
That is the Washington Cruisers flag, or the Appeal to Heaven flag used by the nascent US Navy during the Revolutionary War. Is the person flying it trying to say this is a revolution. #CapitolInsurrection #CapitolRiots #CapitolHill
OK what's next... well as @LalehKhalili observed, we have non-Islamic Republic, Iranian flags (there are many iterations) denoting resistance/moarchist affiliation...

Love to receive some unsolicited orientalist travel gubbins during a global pandemic. Image
Seriously the imagery in this is just straight up racist. Exotic women from the ‘east’, elephants denoting whole continents, bare chested Polynesian men, Māori with tā moko doing haka... while everyone in the walking and cycling section are white.
But don’t worry @beste_isleyen there is a camel! Have to have a camel to denote ‘the Muslim world’. And well done to the person who chose a photograph of Sossusvlei in the Namib as the camel’s backdrop in what I assume is supposed to be ‘Arabia’, you’re only about 10,000kms out.

So basically the new #CoronavirusNL rules are having bars close a bit earlier... at 1am.

That’ll do it.
In the Netherlands #Coronavirus looks like this... Like Vladislav here it only comes out at night.
All the people crying that the bars are going to close at 1am...

Better never move to the UK is all I’m saying.

LAST ORDERS! Image

For all those who’ve just discovered UK A-Levels and are shocked at the inequity of the UK school-univeristy journey... wait until you see the Dutch system. This shit gets decided at 11.
The education system upholds and reproduces the hierarchies of race and class under the fake narrative of progressive equality.

You’re not supposed to point to the quite parts and say them out loud.
Everyone has a place here. Doe normaal, is to know that place and not to challenge it. Challenging it leads to you being a problem as you hold up a mirror to the lies told about how progressive, just and equal it all is.

Can we for once stop crapping on university staff who have worked their arses off to move online, and instead see how such moves put the most vulnerable in our communities first amid a global pandemic that’s killed at least 3/4 of a million thus far!
I was meeting with students online to ensure continued supervision all through last semester, days after my dad died from Covid, the day after his funeral, I’ve worked all summer and had no holiday because of Covid changes, so fuck you Jessica.
And I voted Labour in the last election Jessica, a party with a manifesto that included abolishing tuition fees. What did your newspaper do eh? Actively campaign against the Corbyn Labour Party at every available opportunity. This ‘betrayal’ is on YOU and @guardian
