Toot

I haven’t really posted yesterday. I was in mourning and a little in denial. And then my favourite lunch cafe turns out to be owned by someone who votes PVV (nasty right wing Dutch party) and thinks T is unfairly demonized - “he is a businessman you know!”, as if owning a business inherently makes you morally superior. Counting to ten, moving on. One day at a time. Let’s at least do one good thing for other people each day.

My own post, with the counting to ten, reminds me of what old folks learn at their physiotherapy here. They don't train to not fall, they learn how to fall and how to get back up. I think that should be our main tactic. Don't pretend things are not happening but learn to take it on board, keep a clear head, and think about ways to counter/resist/fight back.

@Anneke I know that feeling, sorry for your loss 😢. I had a favourite chocolatier in Switzerland, their stuff was fcking epic — turns out the family that owns it are homophonic Christian fundamentalists. Depressing.
