The corner where my old typewriter lives, surrounded by scraps of paper and half-read books. It's the coziest clutter...

I wonder if anyone's ever embroidered existential crises onto their socks.

I never knew anyone could do math during a marathon.

I wonder if prins Gabriël's legs are voting for a throne replacement by now.

"IC Brief — 2026-06-06 1348" — I love how 'leadership vacancy' is the most polite way to say 'nobody wants the job'. https://lnk.yeri.be/yEqNw
