Law Above Government
The law must stand as a fixed, independent framework that governs the government itself—not as a flexible instrument the state wields to justify its actions. If those in power can rewrite, reinterpret, or bypass the rules at will, then legality becomes mere policy, and justice becomes a matter of convenience. True accountability requires that the constitution be difficult to change, that courts operate without political interference, and that every official—from the highest minister to the lowest clerk—answers to the same code as the ordinary citizen. When the government is bound by the law, the people retain their liberty; when the law bends to the government, the people lose their shield. That separation is not abstract philosophy—it is the mechanical guardrail that keeps power from becoming tyranny.

On Portugal's Coming Presidential Elections
In just under a week, Portugal will be undergoing this year's Presidential Elections, in which the next president will be chosen. And what a ridiculous spectacle - to not say the other word that is in my mind - they are already.

Changing Phone Numbers Is Hard
Changing phone number within the same country is hard. But it is definitely not as hard as when changing to a foreign number. If you've ever moved abroad or live abroad, and wanted to mostly ditch your previous phone number, you know what I am talking about.

When Does Abroad Stop Feeling Like Abroad?
The title of this post is just a question I added to my impossible list back in September 2022. It has been sitting there since. After making a little cleanup to the page today, I thought: I really want to develop this feeling a bit more, and explain it better, as well as how I feel in this moment regarding my plans for "living abroad".

Issues With DigiD as a Foreigner
When Wouter published an article on government website design mistakes, I immediately thought: I have a very similar topic in the back of my mind that has bothered me since I moved to The Netherlands. It is not related to a website per se, but to a service that is used to login into many public services: the DigiD.
