I feel like I could write roughly ten thousand words about my newly formed and extremely complex relationship with Amsterdam, given I only spent six hours there and two of those were in the train station. I have three or four posts in my head about it, from "Why is every indoor space in this city kept at roughly the boiling point of Tungsten" to "The Nice Things That Happened To Me In Amsterdam" to "That Time Someone Stole My Stroopwafel" but I think you all will be most entertained by the fact that I have a new feud, and it is with the entire Rijksmuseum.

I've been in museums that were a bit crap and museums that didn't interest me and even museums like today's that were physically uncomfortable, but I have never so hated a museum as I hated the Rijksmuseum by the time I left it.

And it's not the Rijksmuseum's fault! Yes, there are issues with the museum's physical structure -- the insane number of stairs and lack of lifts, the fact that the thermostat could be turned down from "temperature of the sun" to "next door to hell" if they wanted, the bizarrely poor lighting -- but not all of those can be fixed, and they're clearly doing their best. Plus it was mad crowded. But I've been in crowded, poorly-designed spaces before and always found something to love. There was nothing for me in the Rijksmuseum.

So I don't think it's the museum itself. I think that museum and I have some kind of spiritual feud. I think the museum feels actively malevolent to me in a way few buildings ever have because it hates me, personally. I don't know why -- could be to do with my Dutch ancestor who left Amsterdam (the infamous Mennonite Pirate) or perhaps it knows my heart truly belongs to the Art Institute and this is spite. In any case, it may think it has won, but I'm retreating strategically. Someday I will come back to Amsterdam and I will fight the Rijksmuseum and we will settle this once and for all. Bicycles will undoubtedly be involved.

I will eventually do a post about the lovely things I did in Amsterdam, including the grocery store (also kept at the melting point of steel, unfortunately) and Albert Cuyp Market, where I got the stroopwafel (eventually) and bought a nice new bag, and even the genuinely best part of the day, where I walked down a side street to Sarphatipark and discovered that Amsterdam is really very beautiful and quiet if you step off the main roads. @rumtastique I have to apologize for being mortal enemies with the Rijksmuseum but as mentioned in comments you did absolutely save my life when I consulted my notes from talks we'd had about Amsterdam and took advantage of all your good advice (particularly the advice about having cash on hand). (Josh, I didn't get to the bakery you recommended but I really wanted to. I'm keeping it in my notes for next time.)

Still, while I will make those posts, I have been awake since 3am and that's part of the problem, so I'm going to set an alarm to wake me before we reach Paris, and sleep until then.

This isn't over, Rijksmuseum. And next time I'll come prepared: I'll wear a tank top.

To those who have been to the Rijksmuseum; is it worth getting a guided tour, or better to go with a standard ticket?

[tinygenderfluid]

I remember seeing kids ice skate on the gracht (basically just a small river) in our backyard and every year I'd be so exited to go out and join them, but couldn't because I didn't have ice skates.

One year my dad finally got me beginner skates, I must've been around 4 or 5 and I had such a blast skating with the other kids, I got to borrow a lot of chairs because none we had were really skate-worthy and at the end of the day I could skate without one.

That was the last year you could skate. We haven't had thick enough natural ice to safely go out and stand on, so parents just keep their kids inside. In fact, there's been barely any ice at all.

I miss good snow.

I miss good ice.

All that winter does now is make you wish it's like the old winters. I've seen the paintings you know, i've heard the stories, seen the videos, and listened to old new story clippings from the nineties about the elfstedentocht, ice skating spans centuries of history. When the Spanish sieged the city of Haarlem in the 80-year-war there was this group of resistance fighters that would skate on the ice when it was foggy to rob and kill them, descending like 'revengeful witte wieven'; there's paintings in the Rijksmuseum depicting people from all social classes socialising on the ice, skating on lakes and just having fun; there was this one guy in the last elfstedentocht who got on the news for skating it multiple times in the same year, I remember that so specifically because I saw it in class as a little kid and despite looking so cold he seemed so happy.

The world warming up isn't just a looming danger (droughts impacting drinking water, heatwaves negatively affecting elders, increased risk of floods due to rising sea level), it is also a profound loss of culture.

Climate denialism in the netherlands is so fucking funny like. Bro the floods. They’re coming

Amsterdam City Travel Guide

Amsterdam City Travel Guide #travel #amsterdam #traveltips

“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth, it is a city of freedom.” -John Green, Author of The Fault in Our Stars- Amsterdam is a gorgeous city that is full of history, art, great foods, and many canals. It is a city to relax in and take your time to enjoy. Whether you are young or old, everyone can find something to see or do when exploring.  Like with other places,…

[germanpostwarmodern]

Amsterdam undoubtedly is an incredibly many-faceted city and not without good reason the top tourist destination of the Netherlands. But Amsterdam also is an architectural hotspot that boasts a rich architectural heritage dating back as early as the Middle Ages. Accordingly it was only a question of time for Paul Groenendijk and Piet Vollaard to add an Amsterdam architectural guide to their series that already includes Rotterdam and Eindhoven: again published by nai010 publishers with the support of Stichting Architectuurgids.nl it features a selection of 100 buildings from five centuries, ranging from „Our Lord in the Attic“ (1630/61) to the fairly recently completed „Sluishuis“ (2016-22) by BIG and Barcode Architects. In between the guide includes well-known structures like the „Openluchtschool“ by Bernard Bijvoet and Jan Duiker, several Amsterdam School buildings and, of course, the Rijksmuseum but also features lesser-known gems for tours off the beaten tracks: the Tuschinski Theater, an eclectic mix of Art Nouveau, Amsterdam School and Neo-Gothic, for example is an exuberant true feast for the eye whereas Abraham Elzas’ Synagogue (1934-37) represents the other end of the stylistic spectrum and after its completion was criticized for its industrial character. This anecdote stems from the brief text accompanying the building’s entry and is representative of all the informative texts included in the guide.

Noteworthy also is the bottom of each page since it provides historical facts, anecdotes or quotes related to the immediate surrounding of the buildings presented, a fun and informative addition to the strictly architectural content provided above them.

Just like its predecessors the latest guide by Paul Groenendijk is a handy yet insightful companion for the exploration of Amsterdam’s rich architectural heritage and warmly recommended to anyone seeking to explore Amsterdam off the beaten tracks!

For today's @creators-club prompt, I want to tell the story of how I wrote this flash fiction called Endings with You.

One year ago, I was on an expertise exchange program in The Netherlands. During my final weekend there, I took a day trip to Amsterdam by myself. My goals were: guided tour at the Rijksmuseum (pictured above), visit the American Book Center bookshop and Waterstones, and walk along some canals. I've succeeded in all there and it was a wonderful day, but I was alone, I had no one to talk to, and I decided I'll just narrate a story in my head, like I used to do as a child. At the time I was reading Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky and I was so moved by his descriptions of a dying planet where the sun is expanding every day. Inspired by this book, I started thinking about the end of the world in a very romantic way. With whom would I want to spend the last day of the Earth's history, if I knew it will happen in my lifetime? If I knew the end was nigh, would I have the courage to speak my mind? If the world couldn't be saved, how would I pass the time until the end of it all? I hardly ever write romance and when I do, it's usually between a woman and a man. So I challenged myself to change it up, and wrote this scene between two young men in love, studying poetry in one of the last universities, because there is nothing else left to do. I wrote it all in my head while walking from the train station in Amsterdam to the Rijksmuseum (via the bookstores mentioned) and back, except for the last paragraph. I wasn't sure how to end it, I wasn't sure what to do with it. Then came the prompt from flashfictionfryday, and inspiration struck again. I typed up the story, I composed the last paragraph, and I sent it into the world.

Good Things In 2023

It’s that time of year again! Time to remember all the good things that happened in 2023. I’ve done this since 2017, and highly recommend doing this as a fun way to reflect (and to have something for future reference when you are feeling Down.)

woof ok here we go

PERSONAL

I visited two countries I haven't been to before: the Netherlands and Iceland!

The Netherlands: mostly Amsterdam but did also pop down to The Hague for a day. Did the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, the Bloemenmarkt, a canal boat tour, the Royal Palace, the Mauritshuis.

Iceland: I was there for less than 48 hours but I saw THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!!!! they were subtler than I expected but so cool. also did the Perlan Museum and a Lava Show, which ruled.

Related: I turned 30 this year!

My dear friend Sam came to visit me in Dublin in June! The highlight of her visit was going with her to see Hozier at Malahide Castle.

Speaking of which, Hozier dropped UNREAL UNEARTH which isn't personal, per se, but is very personal to me

My sister visited me in November! We squeezed a lot in her time here, but highlights were Glendalough, the Hill of Tara, and the Galway Christmas Market.

A few aunts went on a trip to Ireland this fall and I joined them for a bit up in Donegal, as well as a day trip to Derry, which I'd not been to before.

Completely fucking forgot about this but I did write a 158k word long ROGUE ONE / FRINGE AU, ENDLESS FORMS MOST BEAUTIFUL. it was a real fuckin bitch to finish, let me tell you that

I got really into MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE over the summer (don't ask) and wrote a couple short pieces inspired by the most recent movie, DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE: LADY LAZARUS and WORTHY THE NAME OF SIR KNIGHT.

I jumped back on my bullshit in October and wrote a long, extended epilogue to my BINARY STAR SYSTEMS trilogy: TWO DESERTS. the way the series ended was always correct and good but it was fun to write this extended epilogue focusing on the fallout, the question of what it's like to live past the end of your myth.

Anything bolded below is something I particularly enjoyed and recommend.

OTHER GOOD THINGS

*some of these things are Good as in well-written or well-made, but maybe not Good in topic.

"Eurydice" by Adrienne Su

"What Happens to a School Shooter's Sister?" by Jennifer Gonnerman for The New Yorker. A high school student murders his parents and several students at his school, and his sister is left to pick up the pieces. really powerful story on unconditional love.

"A Friend Died, Her Novel Unfinished. Could I Realize Her Vision?" by Leslie Jamison for The New Yorker. the grief of losing not only a dear friend but her art as well.

"Fuck you, I don't know?"

Werner Herzog pronounces Eeyore.

George Washington's Dream for America, an SNL sketch.

Judi Dench performs Shakespeare.

"Walking Brittany Home" by Devin Faraci for Washington Post. a really beautiful piece on death and love.

This thread on the struggle of trying to be fashionable in Ireland.

"The Return of the Marriage Plot: Why everyone is so eager for men and women to get hitched" by Rebecca Traister for The Cut.

"We Were Never Supposed to See Our Own Faces This Much" by Lola Christina Alao for Dazed Digital. on social media and personal reflection.

sunwoof

this story about Jimmy Buffett I loved

"She Wasn't Able to Get an Abortion. Now She's A Mom. Soon She'll Start Seventh Grade" by Charlotte Alter for Time. the cruelty is the point.

had a pilot named Ken yesterday and he introduced himself by saying his job is plane

"Cillian Murphy might be the star of a massive movie atm but to me he will always be the guy that showed up in the rain to our abortion rights marches"

"The 'Troubling Reverberations' at the End of OPPENHEIMER, Explained" by Bilge Ebiri for Vulture. it's an absolutely devastating ending, but the fact remains: there was no other way to end it.

this obituary for the great Sinéad O'Connor.

Kiké Hernandez returned to the Dodgers!

this behind the scenes video from the filming of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE where Tom Cruise's co-stars watch him drive a motorcycle off a cliff.

"How Christopher Nolan Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI" by Maria Streshinsky for Wired. good interview with Nolan, one of my favorite filmmakers / artists. (anyone who's ever read anything I've written is probably like yes, this is very obvious.)

"The Perils and Promises of Penis-Enlargement Surgery" by Ava Kofman for The New Yorker. an absolutely BONKERS but super important piece!

a new ending to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, lmao

"The Return of Ryan Gosling" by Zach Baron for GQ. really great profile writing going on here!

"LOST Illusions: The Untold Story of the Hit Show's Poisonous Culture" by Maureen Ryan for Vanity Fair. LOST is one of my favorite shows and has been super influential on my work. (again, this is probably very obvious). this piece is devastating in how it reveals the terrible racism and sexism behind the scenes of a show I have loved. important.

Henry Kissinger died this year (GOOD THINGS BABYYY) and this piece by Nick Turse, which came out in May, is a good explainer on why that's such good news: "Kissinger's Killing Fields".

"Talking With 'Swiftie Dads' at a Taylor Swift Concert" by Eileen Cartter for GQ. I thought this was very sweet.

The New York Times had an interactive feature about Connie Chung and her impact on young Chinese-American women, particularly the ones named after her. I love this video of her meeting some of them.

"Will A.I. Become the New McKinsey?" by Ted Chiang for The New Yorker. Chiang is best known as the writer of STORY OF YOUR LIFE which was adapted into ARRIVAL, so it's wise to listen to him when it comes to tech and science.

Loved this speech Mark Hamill gave about Carrie Fisher at her Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony.

Accents white people can still do.

this absolutely incredible slapstick esque unintentional comedy scene.

As always, tagging anyone who’d like to do this!

The 11 Best Spots of Amsterdam

Amsterdam is unique. In many ways. Compared to New York (aka New Amsterdam) and Tokyo it is compact and smaller. But it has so much more to offer. The Eleven Best Spots if you Travel to Amsterdam:

1. The Canals: a canal cruise is one of those "must do's" 2. Museum Plein: with Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and the famous instagram house on Weteringschans 3. Brouwersgracht: once voted the most beautiful area 4. Zuiderkerk: with the instagramable church 5. Nine Streets: quaint, small local shops 6. Central Station: the views on the basilica and houses 7. Prinsengracht: the longest canal, with lots of historic spots 8. Begijnhof: a hidden courtyard in the city center 9. Magere Brug: skinny bridge with views over the river Amstel 10. Keizersgracht: the famous corner of bridges 11. Dam Square: as a starting point to walk the center.

Amsterdam - the top 11 spots on your Amsterdam Travel.

Amsterdam is wonderful in all four seasons really.

This is Amsterdam on summer vibes. Amsterdam in a summer vibe. We took an Amsterdam Bike Tour - which was only about 20 euros for 24 hours of renting a bike - and toured and walked the city. There are so many Amsterdam attractions, like an amsterdam canal cruise which a sure recommend. And renting a bike gets you around the entire city very easily. We traveled by train.

First went to an art exhibition at Westergasfabriek, and then took a bike tour of Amsterdam from the beautiful Brouwersgracht over Prinsengracht to Rijksmuseum. Rijksmuseum is located on Museum-Square, and has the famous Rembrandt Night Watch painting. Other museums are: Van Gogh, Moco Museum, Stedelijk Museum. Across the Rijksmuseum is the Instagramable Weterinschans.

The Amsterdam live in summer has that relaxed, lounge, chill lofi feel to it. Boats drift by on the canals with people sipping wine. A Dutch cloud floats over in a big blue sky. Amsterdam is the Old one to New Amsterdam - now known as New York. Back in the Dutch Golden Age the ships sailed the entire world, from the warehouses you see in this video.

Things to do in Amsterdam: rent a bike, do the canal cruise, see the Dutch masters in the museums, shop in the Jordaan & Nine Streets. But overal: just wander and let luck guide your feet. “Meet me in Amsterdam” in this tour of the capital of The Netherlands. Amsterdam 4k

À la Mode

L’art de paraître au 18e siècle

Musée des beaux-arts de Nantes & Musée des beaux-arts de Dijon

Snoeck Publishers, Gand 2021, 328 pages, 23 x 29 cm, Broché,ISBN  978-9461617101

euro 40,00

L'histoire du costume et de sa représentation au siècle des Lumières est autant l'illustration réelle d'une culture matérielle qu'une création de l'imaginaire. Au 18e siècle, la naissance de la mode est d'abord celle de nouveaux métiers et d'une presse spécialisée, et constitue le signe d'une transformation accélérée de la société. Le style français, porté à la fois par l'aristocratie et la haute bourgeoisie urbaine, s'impose dans toutes les cours et les villes d'Europe. Pour la première fois, la confrontation d'oeuvres picturales avec des costumes du 18e siècle permettra d'explorer une nouvelle mise en scène du corps, entre l'exigence sociale et les caprices du goût. L'exposition réunit près de 200 objets du 18e siècle, issus des grands musées textiles (Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, Musée des tissus de Lyon, Musée de la toile de Jouy, Musée de la Chemiserie et de l'Elégance Masculine) et de beaux-arts (Nationalmuseum de Stockholm, Rijksmuseum d'Amsterdam, Victoria and Albert Museum de Londres, Versailles, Louvre, Ecouen, Nantes, Dijon, Tours, Orléans. .). Des tableaux emblématiques côtoieront textiles précieux dessins inédits, vêtements et accessoires, dont certains spécialement restaurés pour l'exposition.  Avec “ À la mode”, le Musée d'arts de Nantes et le Musée des beaux-arts de Dijon, en partenariat avec le Palais Galliera, musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris, confirment leur volonté d'associer une véritable exigence scientifique sur un sujet peu exploré dans les expositions sur le 18e siècle, à une ouverture sur un large public.
