plans to actually enjoy this city fell through, so i played @krishraghav.bsky.social's Don't Get Your Hopes Up instead!

i've been struggling to love amsterdam recently and it feels good to see that others do too. oh, the things we endure to live in a city with cool birds and good (non-dutch) food!
