Language cluster
This archive piece now has a fixed Dutch and English URL.
Not a large essay, but exactly the kind of scan post that gets lost quickly inside an archive — and therefore works well on its own shareable URL.
Fragment from a counterculture classic
Excerpt from the drugs-and-counterculture classic Uit Je Bol (first published in 1994, now a cult staple) by Hans Plomp and Gerben Hellinga. These scans lay out the build-up of alcohol use in seven stages.
Posts like this are small, but not trivial: they work better as standalone archive pieces than when they remain buried somewhere inside backlog between longer essays and embeds.
