went to the zoo again and this time i finally saw a manul. and not just one but two! manul kittens! though they were quite big alredy

figures that the first cucumber i have ever grown would look like this

i’m at an weekend-long event in my city so i didn’t necessarily need to get a hotel room near the venue. but then again, comfort. worth it for this view alone

europe is going to have new bank notes and they're asking for the public's opinion. there are many bird designs! go tell them we should pick birds! (you don't need to live in europe to participate)

rawdogging my commute, earphones stopped working. children are so loud

summer holiday is over, it’s back to being a slave of the capitalism tomorrow

today, on my way to work, a grumpy old man looked at my rainbow umbrella and muttered a curse. but then on my way home, in the exact same place, a kid stopped me to tell me my umbrella was beautiful. ??!

“The finding that many adults with ADHD feel they have to camouflage as a survival strategy suggests that there's a lot of work to be done in society to reduce stigma and shift norms towards accepting diverse neurotypes.”

i’m sad to report that after walking for several hours today my everything hurts. also my fingers were swollen earlier, that was weird (doctors keep telling me that exercising more will make my body hurt less. haha.)

wandered by the local zoo on my way home from the office and on a whim bought an annual card. it will pay itself back after 3 visits and this way i can pop by whenever to try to see specific animals

celebrated the 1st of pride by starting therapy. it was horrible. the therapist was so understanding

did i tell you i've been finally watching the 'new' iwtv show past ep 3? i think that's where i previously lost interest. but my partner wanted to give it another chance and now we're at ep 12, and neither is sure if it's a good show but we just really want to see where they're going with things

where was this reminder this morning when i ended our daily team meeting with ”have a good… uh what day is it? oh, tuesday! have a good tuesday everyone!”

i don't know who else needs to hear this but. It's TUESDAY, FRIENDS. TODAY IS TUESDAY.

putting flowers on my balcony 😌 choosing colors that attract pollinators 😌 oh no, now bees want to come inside 🙃

finally almost kind of summer. me and my green children are very happy about it

i’ve spent the past two days watching the computer do my job and i’ve never been more bored AND exhausted (we did a proof of concept thingy at work with using agentic ai for as many tasks as possible)

forced to install an ai tool at work tomorrow rip

national broadcaster news about some nazi vs. anti-nazi demonstrations today: the police say they succeeded in guaranteeing everyone’s safety. also here’s a video of the nazis beating the shit out of an anti-nazi demonstrator (we’re not saying it was her fault but)

went to a big party where i could have talked with a lot of interesting people about a lot of interesting things… but didn’t, because i couldn’t hear anything 😑

second home from my partner's city. so many long train journeys around europe. custom pottery and planter situations for all of my houseplants. more houseplants, in fact. everyone gets things made by artisans who are refugees/minorities/etc as gifts

What would be your “I wouldn’t tell anyone but there would be signs” if you came into a fuckoff huge amount of money? AFTER you’ve dealt with buying a house, paying debt, whatever practical expenses you’ve been putting off etc.—I want to know what unnecessary extravagance you’d be dropping $$$ on.

healthcare people keep telling me exercise will make me feel better, so i went on a slow, careful run/walk for the second time this week. and then threw up twice and spent the evening in bed, because my body apparently violently disagrees

my favorite flight accident investigation youtuber now has a channel for other kinds of accident investigations! yay!

recent plot twist in my-life-as-a-telenovela: my parents had a pricy set of table silver, the kind only used at christmas. my mother says it was supposed to be at my dad's place, but we haven't found it, so now my mother is convinced that my half-sibling has stolen it

not to be clickbaity myself after how silly the title and thumbnail for this video are, but this actually made me cry. (skip the first 5 or so minutes to get to the important people speaking)

spent a 2-hour train journey sitting next to some dudes returning from a booze cruise and a chatty older lady who they had befriended there. i now know way more about these people than i would like

i'm so happy the astronauts made it safely home, now i can finally try to regain a more reasonable sleep schedule

one thing that keeps kind of catching me by surprise in the videos from the orion is that they sometimes have bright sunlight streaming into the cabin. i mean, i know there is sunlight in space, but my brain just really strongly believes sunlight = on earth

what’s with all the ghost likes lately? bots being taken down faster than i can see them? just now i had a notice of 12 new likes but no new ones showed up on the list

seeing half moon, experiencing full moon joy. love it when science nerds are being silly while doing hard science
