Best thing about class? Talking to all the people. 🥰

Class doubled in size today. Threw teacher for a loop and he almost started again from scratch. 😒
Homework time! I have my answers set but feel free to discuss in English or Deutsch. How does the internet help you? How do you lose time on the internet? What is better in real life rather than the internet?/what’s better on the internet than real life?
Since oldest kiddo started Spanish class this is stuck in my head. youtu.be/j2IDOMuHpWY?...

If it sounds like a Nazi, and literal Nazis support it, don't vote for it.
I need to work on my German homework. Kiddo needs to study for his Spanish quiz. Both of us are on our phones. 🤦🏻♀️ Guess I better be a role model. Stupid parenthood and stuff.
I am NOT pulling an all-afternoon er today @amiimschwabenland.bsky.social
Morgen, y’all! Taking bets now on what happens in class this morning.
I didn’t even nap today. I’m going to bed NOW AT 8:30. Let’s do it all again tomorrow, ja?
I miss Pankow and the northern parts of Berlin!!
So how do you react when your German teacher tells you only one of his grandfathers was in the SS? 😳
Starting German class in the morning. New routine. More productive me. Guess I better get some sleep! See y’all tomorrow!
I have gone down the rabbit hole of Instagram again after ignoring my account for…a few years. Then I realized it’s the only social media I don’t have a time limit set for. Oops. Fixed that.
Peacock island is now checked off my list!! I loved it. Will be going back often. More pics later.
Marlene Dietrich, who "shockingly" wore a tux with top hat and white tie while also kissing another woman in Josef von Sternberg's 1930 film 'Morocco' #WomensArt
Sungi Mlengeya, born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, a painter whose figurative portraiture is a commemoration of women who surround her #WomensArt
I am embarrassed. After 2 years in Germany… I finally locked myself out of the apartment. Barefooted. Hair all over the place because I was getting ready to leave. One eyebrow filled in one sparse. 🤦🏻♀️ /1
In early 20thc 80% of the African Herero tribe (Namibia) were wiped out by German colonialists.The rest were taken into slavery. In revenge they adopted a caricature of the dress of their oppressors, neutralising their power (via J. Naughten 'Conflict & Costume' ) #WomensArt
Our existence is but a flash through the scope of time It should be our intention to have lived in such a way that our flash is seen, adored, and remembered fondly Whether it be by many or few
Applause, please. I washed the exact amount of laundry that fits on the drying rack. Feels good.
Sigh. I’ve been added to a WhatsApp parent group for adhd kids. While I love advocating I have to wonder… Did I finally find my calling? Or has my life just become me sharing 45 years of personal experience? Also? I don’t have to reply to every comment.
How did this tiny little fellow get to be this old and this tall? Happiest of birthday weeks to my favorite teenager. Yes, I see the face in the 2nd photo daily now. Circle of life.
Sibelius Monument (1967) by Finnish sculptor Eila Hiltunen, the sculpture is dedicated to the composer Jean Sibelius #womensart
Alright, Berliners and Germans… I’m making a list of places in Berlin that I want to see/do but haven’t yet. I’m going to try to check off one a week. For instance, next week I’m going to the lunch concert at the Philharmonic. What else should I add to the list?
After 2 years I have finally mailed something from Germany (other than the ballot).
School supplies for oldest kiddo acquired. Lunch finished. Nap time? I kinda want to go ride my bike since the weather is glorious but I kinda need a nap…
Getting my bike back today!! Pro tip: don’t pop a tube and then try to ride your bike. Then you have to replace the tire and the tube. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
