It’s been only a month since I shared a blogpost with the secondhand clothing I have bought the past months/year. I am sharing one again today because I’m behind a lot. But after this, I’m back on track. My goal is to share these posts once a year. I am not there yet, but maybe…

Why neoliberalism does not work
Neoliberalism, also called free-market capitalism. Ever since communism has fallen in the 80s and 90s, there has been only capitalism.

Documentary: 13th
I have always been fascinated by incarceration. Locking people up in small areas, sometimes for their entire life. Why? How?
