I went to the fabric store for the usual plain black and left with this unhinged rainbow glitter mesh of joy.

Coming up next: curtains that make my living room look like a unicorn sneezed inside a disco ball. 🥳

Fellow EU citizens, join me and use your privilege to demand the full suspension of the EU–Israel Association Agreement over Israel’s human rights violations.

Let's force this onto the EU agenda.

Progress is creeping along, but this puzzle is proving to be incompatible with a full-time job.

Can you guess the famous painting yet? 😁

Posts from Germans announcing plans to emigrate because they’re unhappy with Germany “letting so many migrants into the country”. The irony does most of the work, peak white privilege does the rest.

Today in The Paraphrasing Games (describing something because I temporaliry forgot the word):

"It's cold. Where is my stay-at-home coat?"

I follow the @EUCommission purely as a societal temperature check. With every post, you can grab popcorn and watch the comment section combust.

They’ll say something like “Happy New Year” and the replies jump to: "You, genocide supporters, colonialist architects of neocapitalist misery, have […]

People: Billionaires are the cancer of society and must be stopped.

Also people: Let’s keep buying crap we don’t need from megacorps like Amazon, live inside Google because it’s convenient, and hand over our data to questionable platforms because “I can’t get my friends off WhatsApp.”

Stop […]

Feierabend and second week in a row that I work Monday and Tuesday, and have 5-day weekend with all these festivities in Germany.

I can get used to this. 🤪

Mi pareja ha comprado arándanos para Nochevieja porque “las uvas del super eran enormes”.

No soy una persona supersticiosa, pero me está entrando cierta ansiedad de pensar que voy a romper esta tradición de décadas y a alterar algún orden cósmico, atrayendo la mala fortuna en el 2026.

¿Qué […]

Time to disclose the language learning goals of 2026!

And the winner is... 🥁

🥖 French: getting from a messy and rusty intermediate level to a solid B1+. This will be my language focus for the year, with daily practice. Also a great excuse to visit the French side of the family.

🧆 Arabic […]

The German in me: Let's lüften.

The Spaniard: The apartment is now a cryogenic chamber, my soul has left my body, and the frost warning feels extremely personal.

[Body image and beauty standards]

On the journey of learning how to make my own clothes, sometimes I turn to the internet for inspiration.

Being thin in the fashion industry isn’t new, but in the past year it’s been taken to another level. It saddens me to see imagery that celebrates extreme […]
