I’ve been getting letters, visits, & calls from workers and everyday Americans like this about the shutdown all week. They’re all saying the same thing: don’t give in, don’t legitimize hostage-taking of our paychecks, & don’t let GOP do this to build a wall Americans don’t want.

The Dutch's tolerance for drug-use started in the 17th century. There is something to be learned from history.

New Netflix fictional series is going to be about Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll in the Dutch Golden Age!

On 16 Apr 1635 Frans van Mieris was born. He painted 'The Oyster Meal' in 1661. A man is trying to seduce a woman by offering her oysters. The man (Van Mieris himself) is obviously successful, as the woman (Van Mieris’ wife) is provocatively showing him her bosom.

Drank en verboden seks – daar gaat dit schilderij over. Lot laat zich dronken voeren door zijn dochters, terwijl in de verte Sodom in lichterlaaie staat. Dat Lot wel erg sterk lijkt op Steen zelf, maakt de grap nog leuker. Jan Steen vertelt is te zien tot en met 13 mei.
