Man I love living up north
A grass covered construction site and in the background a church somewhat obscured by the thick rainA view towards the palace gardens from a terrace at Schwerin PalaceThe sun setting across the mouth of the river Warnow, thick rain clouds are in the process of dissolving Saint Peter's Church at dusk, the stained glass windows illuminated from within and the tower, over 100m tall, "rising, like a second heaven into heaven" as Friedrich Schiller said

The beavers really turned this place around (although I only saw nutrias today, there are beavers in the area and they dammed up the creek creating this pond)

The main purpose of my visit to the zoo was to get some sketches in for my next tattoo. I want to complete the circle of animals around my thigh, kind of a zodiac-garter. Next in line is my favourite fish, the Australian Lungfish

JK Rowling uses her Harry Potter money to fund lawsuits against companies that support trans rights so no, I do not care what Hogwarts house you are in.
Trans lives are more important than Harry Potter.

Just got done yelling at a man at the train station for popping a kid's balloon. Who does that? Especially while I'm nearby having a bad day. (Which is something everyone should always be instinctively aware of, obv)

Being hit by the realization that I'm going to be genuinely alone for the first time in my life soon. No roommates, no local friends, all new colleagues, no family, no partner. I mean I'm still going to have friends but they're going to be hundreds of kilometers away. This feels heavy.
