🇺🇸 🇩🇪 in Berlin. Freelance writer & editor. In love with love and lousy poetry. She/her. https://www.natalye.com/
I wrote a golden shovel inspired by a line from a poet who was inspired by a line from another poet. Wild. hawkeyemag.com/stories/a-na...
a name is just a room you can’t get out of
after leigh sugar’s “a number is just a name.”
alphabetic confines remind you: a
fate is not unlike a name;
it is a hand you’re dealt, it is
a plane of content, and you are just
the plane of expressio...

My child has started constantly saying "digga" which is hilarious. (For those who don't know, this is German slang for something along the lines of "dude.")

Friends, especially those in Germany, get a corona booster. My husband and I were laid low last week by the new variant, 'XFG Stratus.' (Sounds like a fun game--it's not!)
In Berlin, you can get the COVID shot or a flu shot at the Long Night of Vaccination this Wednesday.

Got an Apple Watch for our kid because the Xplora he's had for nearly two years is SOOOO buggy (battery doesn't charge properly, it freezes, it doesn't show location, it has to be restarted constantly). Plus he has been so responsible with his other watch that we felt confident buying him one.

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide.
The German state is a disgrace.
It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide.
It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

Pretty sure the worst part of returning from vacation is going through the work inbox. It also doesn't help that I essentially had no internet on my trip, so it's even more extra than usual.
