⚠️ There is a nationwide public transportation strike tomorrow, 9th September, in the Netherlands. ⚠️ This applies to intercity trains, to all local methods in Amsterdam, and probably also the local methods in other major cities. They are protesting social security cuts.
If you have a flight departing Schiphol tomorrow, go get a hotel near the airport ⚠️TONIGHT.⚠️
The only train in the country will be the one between the stations of Amsterdam Centraal, Schiphol Airport and Hoofddorp.
Kindly do not reply to me as if I am in charge of Dutch public transportation, I am in fact just a rando on the internet who thought you might like to know this before it's too late.

![The image is a black and white collage of three separate photographs, all featuring individuals in striking attire that evokes a sense of theatricality or performance. The leftmost photo shows two people sitting on the ground; one appears to be wearing shiny metallic clothing with their chest exposed while holding what seems like a bottle, and both have their faces painted or otherwise altered for dramatic effect against a backdrop with graffiti-like symbols.
In the middle section, there is an individual standing in profile. They are adorned in striped pants that fan out dramatically at the bottom, paired with sheer stockings and boots, as well as wearing a hat with wide stripes matching their pants. The person's facial expression is obscured by darkness or shadowing.
The rightmost photo features another figure dressed similarly to the one on the left but viewed from behind. They wear an underbodice-style top and striped trousers that accentuate inwards at the waist, creating a silhouette effect with pointed stripes. Their pose suggests movement as if they are walking away into a setting where other people can be seen.
The overall impression conveyed by this collage is one of bold fashion statements or costume choices likely inspired by performance art, cabaret culture, or avant-garde fashion trends from the mid-20th century in Amsterdam, given that it's referenced to [...]](/proxy/post_attachment/1198684/d8d250e271.jpeg "The image is a black and white collage of three separate photographs, all featuring individuals in striking attire that evokes a sense of theatricality or performance.
