“Following multiple claims from Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Nigeria, the Dutch Secretary of State for Culture and Media Gunay Usluhas made the decision to repatriate objects including the “Lombok treasure” consisting of 335 objects from Lombok, a key collection of modern art from Bali, the Pita Maha collection, and the 18th century Cannon of Kandy which is made of bronze, silver and gold and inlaid with rubies and may have been used to fire ceremonial shots to welcome royal visitors.
“‘This is a historic moment,’ Uslu said in a statement. ‘It’s the first time we’re following recommendations…to give back objects that should never have been brought to the Netherlands. We’re also embarking on a period of closer cooperation with Indonesia and Sri Lanka in areas like collection research, presentation and exchanges between museums.’”

Hello Americans I need your help with my vegetable thing
TL;DR: If you are able, could you email your senator and tell them that you support the Fresh Produce Procurement Reform Act? They will actually give a shit this time I promise, they just need to know you care*. Email is fine! All you have to type is “I support the Fresh Produce Procurement Reform Act”. You can tell them Tumblr sent you if you want.
HERE’S WHY: In my day job I help administer paperwork for one of the best government programs you’ve never heard of, the Local Food Purchase Agreement. This program:
- Buys produce from small sustainable farmers with an emphasis on supporting BIPOC farmers
- Pays those farmers good money
- Gets local businesses to pack that produce
- Delivers the produce to food aid programs in schools and community organizations to be distributed for free without conditions
- Broke people get extremely nice fresh fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, eggs
- A lot of the products are heirloom and culturally important foods. No generic government potatoes here.
- Also there are huge funding carve-outs for indigenous food sovereignty products
- People send in notes about how this is what they’ve always wanted to feed their families but they usually can’t afford it. I love this program so much.
^ This is a stock photo but the produce genuinely looks like this. I have both worked in and lived off food aid programs in my lifetime and if you ever have you know that “brown bananas” and “fun game! find the squash that isn’t moldy” is usually the best it gets. Produce that is actually fresh and high-quality and tastes nice and is heritage varieties of culturally important foods is basically asking for the moon. Except they might actually give us the moon this time. It turns out that the moon only costs, like, twice what my small town spends on police every year. Let’s get the moon!
*Here’s the thing, no one hates The American Farmer. Farm stuff is almost always bipartisan. This makes it easier to get food to people! Let’s do the thing!
fun fact! did you know that you can gain extra ‘forbidden time’ by staying up late in the night? but Watch Out
Shit this is great! You can get so much done if you don't sleep!
THE CONSEQUENCES
Thinking about all those youtubers and streamers who generally stayed nonpolitical as not to alienate anyone but who absolutely could not handle it when that hogwarts game came out and their progressive audiences were telling them to maybe not play/review that one and they'd throw a fat tantrum like "no you don't get it it's my job this is the biggest game of the year I can't not play it" and now we're a few months along and fucking nobody is talking about it anymore cause it wasn't even good. Was it worth it
