My PTA WhatsApp group is so stressful today that I take breaks from it to chek my “situation in the Middle East URGENT” group for breaks instead.

The most important career decision you will make if you want to have kids is who you have those kids with.

I go to Midi not to be killed at Noord.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (again), but Brussels’ Midi station (the only way to go into/from the city’s two airports* AND the Eurostar/Thalys) really, really sucks. Especially for women. Especially at night. And it’s been like this at least for over 15 years.

Proud that Teresa Ribera will lead the EUÂŽs work on making EuropeÂŽs economy more competitive. Draghi is right: there is no trade-off between competitiveness and decarbonisation. To play in the big leagues, Europe needs to be at the forefront of the energy/climate transition. đŸ‡Ș🇾

Western policy elites don’t pay anywhere near enough attention to Latin America. Alas, this is a part of the world that has experimented with politics like no other, and offers both cautionary tales and interesting examples.

It’s almost midnight in bloody Charleroi. It’s raining and, over the past two weeks, I have driven 1.5k kms *and* taken five flights. I am suddenly very tired, a tad angry and a bit sad. And I have not even done the Midi part yet.
