Run by your average dutch girlie, I love cheese, am 5"9 or 5'9? 176cm atleast, lovely little metric system <3
Please don't break my "dykes", they are fragile and I am not good at swimming in basically the ocean ^^
My pfp is the royal standard and the background is all the countries belonging to the Kingdom of The Netherlands. Tho this blog will probably mostly mention the country and not the kingdom as I have more experience with it.
I hope we all have some fun and may you expect cheese within the next week. This is a threat.
I am married to @offical-liechtenstein
Fijne dag iedereen <3

In canon for this blog (aka what did this shithole colonise!? I did quick research, contact me if I should change anything, Wikipedia is confusing):
Belgium is my child with France and has rejected us both
The Netherlands Antilles are my octuplets, Love them dearly, They still live with me
Western New Guinea is my child that India adopted
the Republic of Suriname is my child and I hope it lives its own wonderful life
Taiwan is my child but we are no longer in contact
Brazil is my child with Portugal who left the house and has done wonderful things since.
Mautitius is my child that France and later Britain adopted.
Surinam is still my lovely child tho it also got fostered by Britain and it has left the house.
I stole South Africa from its parents...I also let it go back to said parents at some point
Malaysia was passed onto my from Portugal and I handed it to britain who ran away with it
India is a foster kid with Britain, France and Portugal that has outgrown us
I got Sri-Lanka in the divorce with Portugal and left it to go do its own thing.
USA is merely someone I helped raised. I am disowning that thing. It is Britains mistake now.

If I get anything wrong I am sorry, my history classes existed off of napoleon and WW2 and my knowledge of the other countries is practically 0.
Wait does that mean miffy used to be non-binary up until that moment? Intersex miffy? Because it used to be stories and then the dress ment female.....meaning miffy wasn't female until perceived....
There's a whole website collecting those kind of roads/trails/routes in the Netherlands, I think they started out as an Instagram page ( that's how I knew them). They are already publishing a second book about it.
Pleased to report that after a day of this i am not longer craving caper brine and my mouth is not dry as usual. There's some good suggestions in the notes too that I want to try.
-ancient roman posca: water, red or white wine vinegar, honey, salt, herbs (coriander, mint, thyme)
-switchel: water, ginger, vinegar, sweetener, lemon, salt

āļøš¤ itās because the further you move toward the earthās poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sunās radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.
Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesnāt get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.
Itās not the heat. It very literally is the sun.
important reminder from @wretched-creatureā! Make sure to use seeds of native wildflowers or other plants native to your area, so you donāt spread invasive species!
Here in the Netherlands you can get a free package of local flower seeds, that bloom at different times throughout the season, mailed to you by Natuurmonumenten, maybe check out if thereās similar initiatives in your area!
I don't usually add actual text to my posts, but I'm going to clarify the meaning of this animation.
Kink has no place around minors or other non-consenting people. If an event allows minors or does not explicitly allow kink, please do not show up in kink gear or otherwise expose anyone there to kink. Kink is an important part of LGBTQIA+ history, but consent is more important. You can make people uncomfortable, upset, or even trigger past trauma. Simply attending a non-kink Pride event does not equal giving consent to witnessing kink activities/apparel/etc. Please be considerate of others, and only engage in kink at events that do not allow minors and explicitly allow kink. It is crucial to be ethical when engaging in kink.
.....so.....yes consent is important but I also don't see the issue if it's not straight up sex?
This might be me being a bit desensitized to it due to all our TV stuff just being chill with non-sexual nudity and due to Amsterdam pride having boats dedicated to kinks which we show at normal times kids watch on the main channels, but genuinely like what's the issue?
If your kink is wearing a blue hat and it makes you happy to wear the blue hat or see your partner wearing the blue hat whole outside is that also non consensual kink exposure? Or is this purely about kinks that include being naked? Is it wrong to wear a short skirt in this case if it makes you feel sexy? Where is the line for this?
Like don't get me wrong, fully agree that the explicitly non-kink pride events mean that you shouldn't be doing kink. Just, bit extreme to say minors (remember that includes 13+ which is when people are expected to start sexual development) should never be exposed to kink?
If I understand anything wrong let me know but this is how I understood your post.
