新年の甘い匂いや松枯れる

shinnen no / amai nioi ya / matsu kareru

the sweet smell of the new year— pine trees withering

#haiku #poetry #poems #writeblr #spilled ink #俳句 #お正月 #the sweet smell is a reference to the way street cars selling sweet and fried snacks that pop up everywhere in the weeks leading up to new #years in the Netherlands #it changes the atmosphere of the entire city #and its the best #just a little different this year

From top to bottom: Land van Axel, Marken, Volendam, Arnemuiden, Various Friesian costumes.

#probably the priciest book i have but oh so worth it #obviously i've been immersed in our regional costumes for many years now but the book really reminded me of the stunning variety #especially for so small a country #the netherlands #dutch culture #dutch tradition #folklore #traditional clothing #traditional fashion #folk costume #europe #heritage #jimmy nelson #between the sea and the sky

tfw you try to warn the bae that some yank is coming over to cause trouble (and to jeopardise your trade monopoly)...but his govt is way too ossified and factionalised.

(so, the Tokugawa shogunate actually knew about the Perry Expedition quite far ahead, thanks to detailed reports from Dutch officials, including Dutch agents in Washington DC. despite the advance warning, they did not make sufficient political or defensive preparations—and the rest is history.)

As this New Years Eve approaches, please be advised that sprinkled all across both Eastern and Western Europe are various folktales and legends of animals, especially those kept in and around the home, gaining the power of speech in the night that the old year changes into the new

Most of the stories agree that hearing what they have to say is generally bad luck, either because it was never meant for human ears, or because it is a self-fulfilling prophecy of the bad luck about to befall you

So happy new year, everyone! And if you heard your cat say something, no you didn't <3

#gelukkig oud en nieuw!#in the netherlands I also found some mention of the cows being able to stand on their hind legs?#no idea what that's about #happy new year!

Happy (very late) New Years!!!! 2024!!

I decided that this year is going to be a lot more about discipline and really just exploration and trying to keep myself on a good schedule 🥲

So I decided to kinda just dump some sketches/ideas I’ll explore later on with these guys, if anyone is interested or if I pick it back up again, (hopefully a few more interesting things I’d like to explore also with Spain)

The last three is about an assassin au I had back when it was rarepair week I believe? It was cool but 🥲 school and work kicks my butt!!!

Hopefully to a better 2024!!! (I actually have more finished pieces finished!!!! But I’ll slowly trickle them somewhere around February :D)

I also wanna thank people who listen and just let me post my fav lil rarepair guys 🥹 thank you so so so so much it means a lot !!!

#aph spain #hws spain #aph netherlands #nedspa #hws netherlands #hetalia #aph #hetalia world stars #hetalia world series #I should explore my aus more #happy new year #:D

this type of stuff is why i don't understand why people want to lie SO badly to others that healthcare is amazing and free and accessible in the Netherlands.

the only thing you can get easily is Covid (and other illnesses) because nothing is done to prevent the spreading. do you know how bad it is when i still feel jealous irt certain topics to US healthcare? that's insane.

there is no Paxlovid available in the Netherlands. there have never been proper mask mandates, besides in public transport in the past. likely very few people will be allowed to get vaccination boosters. there are no testing sites. we were encouraged to mass (re-)infect each other for ""herd immunity"". there is nothing widely being done with CO2 filtration.

we might have one (1) Long Covid clinic next year. in Germany they have over 70 and those already have huge waiting lists. no money goes to biomedic research, only to CBT research and psychosomatic research questionnaires, which is proven to only further harm people with chronic fatigue and pain.

medical staff has only asked me in the past to take my masks OFF and they and disabled loved ones get extremely agitated when i wear one or try to mention that being infected is not a good thing. i tell them that stats from CBS show that at least 900k people in the Netherlands have Long Covid and they just don't care at all. people talk about their elderly parents having died like a good thing, because now they don't have to be a caretaker at home anymore (which you have to be as less and less care is provided by the government and hospitals). everyone talks for YEARS about the pandemic in past tense and meanwhile admits that entire departments at work and half the teachers at schools are always gone due to being sick and exhausted etc etc.

but it's my word against the disinformation of the Dutch government, eugenics-loving healthcare 'experts', and news sources that uncritically spread these lies. i'm fucking tired and i'm scared and being gaslit. we're all supposed to believe it's insane to be scared or care about the health of yourself or others. and there's almost nowhere to turn to if you get Long Covid.

#no im not saying this is JUST in the netherlands #but a lot of what i describe has been going on for years way before the US #and theres no migitation for preventing and no medication and no clinics if you do get it #niet een nedermeme #sorry voor de rant #ik wilde t schrijven in t engels want anders krijg ik weer Lol idk what this says but the text looks funny :p reacties

uh yeah in case anyone was still somehow doubting that europe is becoming increasingly facist each day, a far-right, anti-Islam populist has just won the Dutch elections and his most important plan is to bring an immediate end to the “asylum tsunami”

#europe #netherlands #palestine #how convenient for westerners to full on aid and fund a genocide and then demonize asylum seekers and immigrants of the countries that #they’ve destroyed for years #atp is there ANY european country left that’s not on the far-right road
