Mango? Tiny Spanish sizes. And yes, H&M isn’t what it used to be...

yeah and that Jesus thing what the fuck is up with that? And at the same time selling clothes, that well, each to their own, but as I said already what is it with all the slits and holes in places that are normally occupied by underwear? I’ve seen shirts in their collection I liked, and then you try it on and it has a…

I’m shocked about how good C&A is becoming. It’s a great place to go when you are plus sized, and always decent quality. H&M is under fire. I don’t even go to Zara any more because they will not sell anything over a certain, relatively small size. I’m not even mentioning Mango here.

That empty shop is now occupied by Primark. Still shit quality clothes, but they will probably survive because they understand the European market better.

They had two shops in Belgium for a while, they went out of business here couple of years ago. I went to their absolutely huge Antwerp flagship store a couple of times- and I marvelled at the clothes, just how awful they were. I’d sometimes see something I liked, and then you have a closer look, look at the material…

I’m Dutch. I can still hear my mom ask “Are you made out of sugar? No? Then you can cycle to school in the rain, you’re not going to melt.” There was simply no way she would bring her kids to school in the car in any kind of weather. Whining would not help at all. So yes, there is a certain underlying toughness…

There’s also an ongoing tradition of African women potters.

Oh the delicious butthurt! I hope it is true!

I’m no fan of him but I think that is exactly the point of him. He’s a decent singer, not a looker, and kind of unimpressive. What he achieved seems achievable. He’s okay, maybe somebody you know, and his massive success means that maybe every one of us could achieve success in the right circumstances. he is…

Combination of poverty and shame probably... it’s terribly sad.

Wow, she is amazing. And how often we forget that pottery is the woman’s art. When pot shards are dug up, it is automatically assumed that a man made them, but historical evidence does not support this.

Stroopwakels though. Have you tried stroopwafels (which is the proper spelling in the Dutch language!)

IKEA sells one like that that is flatter and cheaper. It’s called rödeby.

I really enjoyed this show!

blah. please remove.

That may also play a role. There may be several factors, but strings and hairs probably play a large role.

Tangleweave. It will be floating around town in the form of tangleweave, ensnaring and cutting off the toes of filthy pigeons. Have you seen pigeons hobbling around on crippled feet? It’s usually not a disease, but something called a hair tourniquet, caused by human hair or other, artificial fibres.

As a fellow Autie, anti-vaxxers are one of the few subjest I feel hostile about. Damn them.

But I want to know more about the omelette. How does one screw up an omelette?

I think this belongs here as well.
