Kombucha
Van collega Marlies kreeg ik een scoby cadeau voor m’n afscheid. Een scoby? Awel, ja, dat staat voor “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast” aldus Wikipedia. Kortweg is het een soort zwam die ervoor zorgt dat suikers worden omgezet in gas en zuurtjes.

Exact mijn sentiment van de laatste jaren, deze post op Daily Kos: It’s all about learning to hate. It’s about learning to dehumanize. The change isn’t sudden, it’s gradual.

George Lucas reveals his plan for Star Wars 7 through 9—and it was awful
Oh. Mijn. God. [The next three ‘Star Wars’ films] were going to get into a microbiotic world. But there’s this world of creatures that operate differently than we do. I call them the Whills.
