What do Athens and Enschede have in common?

‘Think European, act local’ in practice 💜⚡️

I had a chat with Volt MEP (Member of the European Parliament) @ReiniervanLanschot this week about what we are working on in Enschede, and what he is working on in the European Parliament. Oh and we also talked about a Mastodon strategy for our newly elected MEPs.

I also shared with Reinier that for the time being, I created Mastodon-feeds with @birb to follow their work - links in the reply!

@SandraDeHaan Bij mensen in mijn bubbel veel hetzelfde. Trein is zo onhandig, vertragingen , lastig met tickets, duurt lang, duurder..

En zelfs binnen Volt word ik raar aangekeken om mijn liever-niet-vliegen en al helemaal niet binnen Europa beleid.

Interessant! Die video van @taylorlorenz kende ik niet.

Ik ben trouwens aan het afstuderen over kinderen, social media en leeftijdsverificatie of alternatieven. Daarbij verzamel ik ook dit soort bronnen, dus als je meer relevante bronnen hebt over kinderen en social media hebt hou ik me aanbevolen.

Ik zal de tijdlijn ook eens ergens online publiceren komende week.

Een begin:

It's October 7th. Many people with far more understanding of the complexities of the conflict in Israel, Gaza, and by now the entire region, have written about it today and in the past weeks.

I will post some writings below, but after my earlier post about #StandingTogether ( https://tukkers.online/@erikkemp/113210979026430392 ) I just became a donating friend.

I'll tag them here as well:

-> by the way, why is Mastodon not in the email? ;)

Let's go for human rights, international law and solidarity!
