Here's the good things of the past weeks while I'm losing my mind over the state of the world:
- back on payroll (pls clap)
- awesome new team
- got cake twice in 1 week???
- secured an apartment
- had the ice cream I always got at the pool as a kid and was in full nostalgic bliss for a few minutes

More packs 😌✨
There is no redeem button in the app itself, you have to go to gift.pokemontcgpocket.com/en/ and enter your Support ID and the code S5N4NDM00N ☀️🌙

Support ID location help:

This old man kept us on our toes until the end and we wouldn't have wanted it any other way 😭 We'll miss your obnoxiously loud meowing for food* (*even when we fed you just 30 mins ago) and how you turned into a purr-machine when you found your way onto our laps.

Rest well, little stinky warrior 😭

Spent an entire month travelling Japan and I have evidence to believe that it has altered my brain chemistry for the better 😌🌸⛩️🌅

I asked for his zodiac sign but he told me that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant 🤷
A photo of Ela posing next to a big Mewtwo statue, showing the pokemon in a big, blue glowing pod. He seems like hibernating with arms crossed in front of his chest, so Ela is imitating the pose with a serious face

A mirror selfie of Ela showing her face distorted by scratches and stains on the edge of the mirror, similar to the mirror reflections in Hideo Kojimas lost P.T. game demo. There is a soap bottle in the lower half of the picture with the label "natural beauty", drawing a sharp contrast to her distorted face.

So I play strictly non-EX (don't ask LOL), and for the first time I found it difficult to win with grass types. Landed on Barry with water energy (for Iridia access), but still lost to late game water decks 🥲

Swapped one Snorlax for Rotom & won all 5 games in one go 🥳 🏆⚡ #tcgpocket #pokemon

Repairing your phone instead of getting a new one is also an act of resistance 😌🪛 (it was easy, took 20 mins, and cost me 40$ ✨)

Opened a pack, already blessed 🥹🌼🌷🌺🌻✨
A screenshot of the full art card of Shaymin, a grass type pokemon looking like a green and white hedgehog with a big pink gardenia flower on the side of its head. On the card, it's surrounded by softly illustrated, pastel colored flowers, carefully smelling on a larger pink blossom, similar to the one ok its head

Anyone else got this weird error message 🤔 #tcgp
An edited error message screenshot from Pokemon TCG pocket, reading Error code: Gugyugubah! (For context, that's the dialogue "sound" legendary pokemon Dialga makes at encounter). A space time error occurred. Please check your pokétch connection and signal strength.

Little PSA that it's definitely a very good time rn to switch your browser to Mozilla Firefox and use their "facebook container" add-on to prevent their intrusive tracking 👀

(they do that even if you're not registered on any meta service 😩)

(also efficient way to do a 2 for 1 big tech boycott 😌)
A screenshot of the info page on Mozilla Firefox' add-on called "Facebook container", saying that it "prevents Facebook from tracking you around the web" and "isolates your web activity from Facebook"

Spent last week in a tiny town in northern Sweden - did nothing but enjoy the quiet vibes and have fika - 10/10 ☃️❄️🌕
A street with houses, everything covered in a thick layer of snow. The sky is a deep dark blue, and the bright street lights appear with a light flare in the camera A piece of blueberry pie and a mug with coffee on a wooden table, with a blurred background view showing a quiet shopping street with red brick buildings A photo of a street in the town center. The buildings are glowing with neon and decorated with fairy lights. The evening sky is deep blue. The moon is visible over the houses. A lonely bicycle is parked in the foreground, in front of a store. There's not a single person, it all appears tranquil and dreamy A hotel bathroom mirror selfie of Ela smiling. She's smiling and showing the peace sign with her hand. She's wearing a navy blue long sleeve shirt and black dungarees.

what I really do when I say that I'm working on my portfolio:
a screen capture of an image with a slide titled "Project Proposal". Underneath two columns with "DON'T" and "DO" written in large letters, accompanied by a red cross and a green checkmark. A single bullet point under "DON'T" reads "make inaccessible designs". The other single bullet point under "DO" reads "work hard for Little Miau", with a picture of Elas cat underneath

Dang new Zelda game is looking amazing :)
a screenshot of the game Infinity Nikki, showing the character dressed in white with long blonde hair, resembling Princess Zelda. She's standing at the edge of a cliff, and in the background a gothic temple looking slightly like the temple of time in the Legend of Zelda.

No one:
Me: "I wonder if they'll 🌈 notice 🌈" 👀 #infinitynikki
an image of Ela's Nikki Infinity character with a deep thinking pose. She's wearing a cropped button top, a short leather jacket, a plaid skirt, net tights, and chonky ankle boots. Her hair is in two pigtails with black ribbons, and she's wearing a black choker, as well as sunglasses on her head. A notion to a feminine yet masculine style, in this case intended to express Elas bi/pan identity another photo of the outfit, with Elas character turned around and looking over her shoulder into the camera
