I also went on a boat with coworkers for "the most amazing barbecue you will ever have", dixit the 20 year old guy who was 45 minutes late because he had a housewarming party last night (sorry, it was not, but the boat was nice). Also visited my dad and ran the longest run I ever ran (again).

Officieel is dit natuurlijk een het-woord: 'het bouwvak', zoals ook 'het boekvak' en 'het kappersvak', maar ik neem aan dat de meeste mensen zonder context weten dat 'de bouwvak' opeens iets heel anders betekent: het is kort voor 'de bouwvakvakantie', de periode in de zomer waarin je er vanuit… ## [How I’ve been running Mausritter, part 3](https://seblog.nl/2026/08/04/1/running-mausritter-part-3) _2026-08-04 · Seblog.nl_ How I’ve been running Mausritter, part 3 I wanted to post this weeks ago, but apparently it never left my drafts folder.

I ended up celebrating it with friends at a woonboot on Prinsengracht, and after a year in which a broke my foot, followed by a year I volunteered to help dismantle the boat I was on, this was my most relaxed yet amazing pride in years.

Siri in English always seems to be more advanced than her Dutch counterpart. But for this post, I wanted to nerd out on how the Dutch grammar itself makes setting a reminder in Siri much harder than it would be in English.

It was weirdly overwhelming – I knew it would, but it didn’t feel great once I was there – but I really enjoyed the walk through the Heumensoord forest, making it a relaxing day off anyway. Also World Pride started in Amsterdam this Saturday, so I… ## [Meditations on Privilege](https://rishabhkhaneja.substack.com/p/meditations-on-privilege) _2026-07-28 · Rishabh Khaneja · dibs on the window seat_ Being privileged in India and the many emotions around it ## [The privilege of the invisible gay](https://seblog.nl/2026/07/25/1/privilege-of-the-invisible-gay) _2026-07-25 · Seblog.nl_ The privilege of the invisible gay So, it's World Pride in Amsterdam and with that come a lot of activities. Lots of them are parties, but also quite a few have a more political and activist background too. Today I went to the Pride Walk, one of the protest marches that went from Dam Square (with speeches) to Vondelpark (where there was a Pride Market).

Since March I’ve also been running for ten years, but not without breaks. My current streak on Strava is 57 weeks, though, which means I’ve been running at least once a week for over a year now.

I really like this hobby and I love that I get to play as much as I do. Also happy the weather is “good” again, in the new definition where +30ºC is not good and a light rain at 20ºC feels very nice.

I am honestly glad that we’re through them, and I hope we can at some point move these holidays in a more sensible distribution over the year. By the time it’s Pinksteren I have no idea what to do with myself anymore, but hey, there’s worse things going on in the world right now.

Or, as I liked to joke, a suspiciously tall hobbit. My outfit was one of the lesser executed ones – I saw so many great ones – but luckily I also did enough to blend in. I wore elven ears, earth colors, many trinkets I had since I was fifteen years old and no shoes.
