Love reading, dancing and music. For work I do a mix of design and data crunching (in healthcare).
Some books I read last year that I really enjoyed:
- Anne Enright - The Wren, The Wren
- Dijana Matković - Zakaj ne pišem
- Kaveh Akbar - Martyr!
- Ann Leckie - Translation State
- Anne Enright - The Wren, The Wren

Ker večinoma poslušam glasbo, ki ni bila izdana v zadnjem letu, moji letni toplisti niso ravno relevantni, ampak imam vseeno tri nove albume, ki so (zame) zaznamovali 2025:
- Rosalía - LUX (art pop)
- Matt Carmichael - dancing with embers (jazz fusion)
- Oklou - choke enough (elektro art pop?)

Me planning to finish another 6 books this year, having read 2 in the past couple of months.
Goodreads trying to do my 2025 Year in Books like there aren't four more whole entire days to go.

Read an interview where they mentioned this architectural agency and I really like how they do their photos. It's not soulless like plenty of other photos of newly built or renovated living spaces I've seen.

Just remembered I did a presentation on Atget in uni. It was where I first learned the word flânerie. He just lugged this giant large format camera around Paris and documented the streets for half his life.

A naj grem gledat Nosferatuja, če mi je bil The Lighthouse všeč, grozljivk si pa na splošno ne upam gledat? Razen The Exorcist sem pogledala in mi je bil fin.

Danes je Bandcamp Friday (= Bandcamp ne pobere svojega deleža pri nakupu), tako da, če bi podprli manjše umetnike, ki od Spotifya ne dobijo nič, je danes taprav dan.

Vsako leto, ko pride ven Spotify Wrapped, me preseneti koliko ljudi posluša podkaste na Spotifyju. Podkasti so bili tako lepo organsko decentralizirani (hvala, RSS, a real one), zdaj se jih pa daje na platforme. :(

Having an accountability buddy really helps me, but I do need one every step of the way, which is not practical at all.

Very exciting hard launch day for @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social. Thank you so much to everyone who listened. If you could let all your friends who like Reply All or Western Kabuki or any of those know that this show is out there, we'd be so grateful. We want to get to 200k listeners by spring 2026.
