Oatmeal with milk and honey and walnuts and raisins and cinnamon - as close as one gets to aşure on a random weekday morning, instant trip back to childhood. #feelslikeiam8again #aşure

It's not even been 40 days since the mass murder of more than 100 children by the US. There is no 'but', 'however'; murdering children is a very clear crime- no sides to pick there. (image: AFP PHOTO / IRANIAN PRESS CENTER)

My friend to kiddo: Do you know what plan means? Kiddo: Yes, plan means mama. Never have I seen a better description of default-parenting.

On top of everything she ever was and is, Ursula K. Le Guin is one of the best romance writers I've ever read. Every time I am reading her books, I rediscover this feeling over and over again.

-Anne, sin Apfelschorle (kiddo, wanting apple juice but does not want bubbly water in it). How is your multikulti family doing? Also the 4th language is not involved in this sentence, yes, we do acknowledge it.

Yesterday, I was invited to give a talk at the @irtg2804.bsky.social (International Research Training Group 2804). It was a great experience. I talked about „Bias and Fairness in Clinical AI: Implications for Women’s Brain Health“, and we had a very engaging discussion at the end.

3 year old asking for that cheerful Balkan Song they like upon waking up, it is not even 7 am yet. We get up and start dancing in the middle of the living room. Kiddo: "Mama, I am happy" Me too kiddo, me too. What a wonderful way to start our days.

Went back to Berlin after some time, a) Instantly feels like home, so made me smile b) relatedly, I swear small town vibes already rubbed off on me, I felt like the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, with that smile on my face and classical Berliner face of other Ringbahn passengers "WTF is wrong with her"

Nothing is more healing then the 3 year old asking if you too want to be caressed, then stroking your face before sleeping, and whispering they love you.🥹

Dear uni IT people, one does not roll out a new feature right before the holidays. In fact one goes for code freeze in the second half of December. Or whoever is designing your KPIs is completely clueless, if you 'had to do this before the end of the year'

Technological hell instead of singularity: somehow, your family misses to close your dead sister's Linkedin account, it is apparently her work anniversary in a job she couldn't have worked in the last 3.5 years, and some of her potentially random connections automatically post congrats under it.

If there were more primary caregivers doing AI research I think we would be seeing less bs about how a model imitates a child learning the world with just one experience but more algorithms named like "learning through the endless repetitive hours of pretend play, over and over and over"....
