Vegatopia stopt ermee. Ondertussen ben je als vegetariër geen rare geitenwollensok meer, en zijn vegetarische opties vanzelfsprekend. Ik ben er trots op dat wij hierin een duidelijk zichtbare speler zijn geweest.

Vegatopia stopt ermee, 30 jaar na de oprichting in 1995, geheel symbolisch op 1 oktober, Wereldvegetariërdag. We kunnen tevreden terugblikken op drie decennia waarin vegetarisme en ondertussen ook veganisme een eigen plekje in de samenleving hebben gevonden. www.vegatopia.com/vega/actueel...

Kingfishers (we call them "ice birds" in Dutch. I know they are around, people I know have seen them, even close to their homes. But even in zoos they don't show up.

Dat is nog niets, mieren zitten hier ook op de 10e! Maar we krijgen ook af en toe een hommel of bij en daar wordt ik wel blij van 🐝. Heb ook wel eens een sprinkhaan en een kolibrievlinder gehad!

Comic. [Two people on shore looking at body of water] PERSON 1: Hey, where’s that big island we were looking at this morning? PERSON 2 with short hair: Oh, it’s underwater. The ocean’s depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: It’s because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects. PERSON 1: *What???* [caption] People here are used to them, but tides are one of the weirdest and most sci-fi elements of life on Earth.

She has since then returned to Iceland, and has been living there permanently for a couple of years now. Her music has always been inspired by nature, but also working together with technology. Homogenic is a perfect display of this and it is possibly one of my favourites ever 🥰.
