I know some people think it’s cool to walk on the frozen river/canal when it’s -2C but actually, it’s really fucking stupid.

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.

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.

In true Berlin form, we tried to book tickets to visit the ICC and the website was down for half the day because Berlin digital infrastructure is garbage. Anyway, we finally got some after five hours of refreshing.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Some days you get four rejections in a row. And some days you get four acceptances in a row. Happy today is the latter.
