A lot of people are confused by the concept of “cat years" so here's a little guide: 0-1 years - just a little baby 1-3 years - just a little baby 4-9 years - just a little baby 10+ years - just a little baby

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Trips to Italy are always quite an ego boost for me. Here in Barcelona people usually either look down on me or stare with an annoyed look (just another obese puto guiri) but in Italy I'm treated with respect and not as the most hideous reptile with a thick (I wish!) wallet.

Italian is a bit of an outlier among the major Romance languages. Spanish has 'escuela', Portuguese has 'escola', French has 'école' - all starting with a vowel - but in Italian it's 'scuola'. Did it never get a vowel? It sure did: Old Italian had 'iscuola'! Here's the story of this little vowel:

Here's an image I made showing where the names of the weekdays come from. The 7 day week was introduced to Germanic people by the Romans, and so Germanic speakers mostly just replaced the Latin names of Germanic equivalents.

One of the signs of clinical depression is devoting a lot of energy to coming up with reasons not to do things you're afraid of doing or seem like they might be hard.

This Sunday will be my 11th anniversary in Barcelona/Catalonia/Spain. And no, I still don't like the city, but I feel like this year will be different because of the ADHD meds.

Have you ever wondered how Australia's many Indigenous languages relate to one another and how far back the connections go?

I can tell that my mental health is improving because I'd actually like to go to this one metalcore night in a metal club. However, I don't want to go alone when I'm not sure whether the ADHD meds affect my alcohol tolerance, and my financial situation is shitty. Knitting and tea it is. #thuglife

As someone who never even tried TikTok, I find it funny to see so many people complain about how "cringy" it is to go back to Instagram and/or other platforms. That main character syndrome is what's cringy. There are other ways to fish for attention, like knitting in a public space *cough*

I was thrown directly to the deep end in an Esperanto conference in 2006 with basically no previous knowledge. Was conversational after a week thanks to complete immersion and already having studied nine foreign languages at school at that point.

For shits and giggles, I decided to write down all the times I cry and the reason for an infographic at the end of the year. I just realised that two out of the three times I have cried this month happened during those 8-hour windows in which my ADHD meds are working and both were of happiness.

I might go to Germany in March, for the first time in my life (have only changed buses/flights there). I took German for 8 years at school and disliked every second, never used it IRL despite having reached an advanced level. I want to unrust it now but I'm nervous and self conscious 🥴 #langsky
