#Introduction with a billion #hashtags...

I'm Alba, a #trans #nonbinay #bisexual #autistic #vegan #antifascist #activist from #Nijmegen, #NL. In addition to my #autism, I've also got #ADHD, #hyperlexia, related auditory processing and executive function issues, #aphantasia and #SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory). I'm an IT #tech at a large #international company, a volunteer for the #radical #intersectional #anticapitalist #political party #BIJ1 and a freelance #translator. I speak #Nederlands, #français, #English, #Deutsch and #Esperanto. I play #saxophone - I have a bari sax, a tenor sax and a soprano sax. I also have a #flute and a #ukelele but I don't play those nearly as well as the saxes. I love playing #TTRPG like #DnD5e and #PF2e, and I have two #cats, an orange slonk called Hobbes and a void chonk called Nita.

I used to hang out on mastodon.lol until early 2023 when that instance shut down. I then moved to todon.nl and recently decided to hop on to blahaj.zone ​​

Les Néerlandophones ne perçoivent pas le monde à travers le prisme du verbe « être » donc de l'existence.

Pour un Néerlandophone, un être inanimé ou vivant est soit : debout, assis, allongé ou accroché à.

C'est ainsi qu'ils perçoivent le monde qui les entoure.

Par exemple, au supermarché, on ne dira pas : « où est le beurre ? »

On dira : « Où est-ce que le beurre se tient debout ? »

'Numbers are similar across Europe, trade publication Electrek noted Tesla registrations in the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway fell more than 40 percent, while Spain saw the steepest decline of 75 percent.'

Tip!

Volgende week donderdag 13 feb 14:00 - 16:30 zal de commissie Digitale Zaken bijeenkomen om te spreken over "Digitale soevereiniteit bij de Rijksoverheid".

Zeer relevant gezien de huidige ontwikkelingen in de VS.

#GMP #NCA and the #Politie #NL nicked the largest #drug smuggling gang in #Britain - the ringleader got *32* years (likely to serve 21 of these inside) which is the longest stretch I've seen in my living memory (and I've been monitoring #crime reports for 30+ years)

Oké het was fictief en de kans dat dit op provinciale of landelijk niveau gebeurd voor lange tijd is hier zo goed als onbestaande. Maar hoe dan ook heeft een tv uitzending weinig nut in het geval van een (langdurige) stroomstoring. Om de bevolking te informeren, zijn er beter methodes hiervoor.

Why do they call Newfoundland, "Da Rock"?

ok, why is it:
ze zit op de grond
ik zit op een stoel

er ligt een boek op tafel
without an article? is it the table itself, or the "er" construction or what?
