Now that I am growing older I realize how important it is to see life from a different perspective. How different people have different problems, how different people see politics, how different people see life. I think this is important to keep connected and to live with compassion. When you live inside a bubble and…
Category: Inspiration
Inspiration and learning new things is crucial to me. I get inspiration from books, documentaries, films, organizations, etcetera. These media forms teach me how to see the world and how to be a better person every single day. I find is highly important to be aware of certain problems and how I relate to them. In this category I put all those resources together for you. This way you can always find relevant inspiration here.
I write separate blogposts about individual books, documentaries, podcasts and more. However, I’ve also created an ultimate list of all those things combined. This way you can take a quick look at which books, documentaries etc. I recommend on a specific subject. That list is a never-ending project.
Using Signal instead of WhatsApp
There are many problems we face as humanity these days. The climate crisis for example. Today I want to discuss a problems which really has been an underlying problem for all other problems. Fake news. It’s a scary one. It can change people’s view on the world. That the climate crisis is a hoax. That…
Rescuing Food with Too Good To Go
Today, my dear readers, I have another example of how living a sustainable lifestyle does not have to be expensive. It’s such a shame that people think that a sustainable lifestyle is expensive. The example I am sharing today is about food. Rescuing food. If you rescue food you can get food at a really…
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
It’s time for another must read on this blog. It’s a book I read a long time. When I read it, it took me months to finish it. I found it so interesting and I read some pages multiple times. It’s a book which was very popular when it came out and there’s also a…
2 Ingredient DIY All Purpose Cleaner
It’s time for another recipe! It’s been a while. Since I moved out of my parent’s houses and into my own apartment with my boyfriend in Groningen I’ve tried all kinds of DIY recipes. Some things worked out great, others not so much. Today I want to share the first thing I tried to make…
Sletvrees by Sunny Bergman
Intersectional feminism. Equality for all, that’s what it comes down to. It’s what intersectional feminists want. But aren’t all people already equal? That’s a question I get asked a lot. People get angry at feminists. Women can work, get into politics and do what they want. Well, not exactly. There are so many subjects to…
Series: Sex Education
This show isn’t exactly about diversity itself, more about subjects that are considered taboo. However, it’s not build to be informative. It has a narrative and in that way it is just like any other series on Netflix. But then again it isn’t alike others at all. This is a series that shows what a…
Understanding Everyday Racism by Philomena Essed
It’s time for me to share something about racism, which is an important part of intersectional feminism. I am truly ashamed that the Black Lives Matter protests have been the first thing to actually trigger me to learn more about racism. Racism is not something new, it’s just that I took action way too late….
De Kanarie in de Kolenmijn by Marianne Thieme and Ewald Engelen
A book about economics? I would understand this surprise when you read this title. Politics, yes, that’s what I’m passionate about. But economics? You’d be surprised, but I am passionate about that too. But mostly about how our current economical system is disrupting the planet (with the living being on it) and how we can…
Documentary: Hungry for Change
Growing up, I learned about dieting really soon. I think I tried my first diet around the time I was twelve. Even though I was young, I remember it very well: it was the Sonja Bakker diet (a well-known Dutch diet). I hated every part of it. I was hungry all day and during exercising…
