Yes, you can live your life seriously. Or, hear me out:

I'm happy to pay my taxes (unlike the dumbass billionaires in this country I understand what we pay them for...), but man, taxing me more than last year when I'm on fucking minimum wage since *May of last year* and lost a third of my income to be a student again... This is fucking stupid.

I got to bottle my own Lagavulin whisky. 😌 I don't like being drunk, but Islay whiskies are just too good.

Typical Scottish weather of rain and bright blue sky. Or maybe I'm too 晴れ女 for this. 😂

Best of luck to our friends of 🇭🇺 today!

No Nessie, but beautiful landscapes and welcoming people everywhere. We walked from our BnB to the shore, and a bus driver passing by stopped to ask if we wanted a ride when he saw us on the road. The kindness we were shown during all the trip was surreal. Any Scott adopting? 😁

Find yourself a husband offering to drive you to Glasgow last minute just to visit that one vintage clothing store you mentioned you wanted to go to "next time we're in Scotland". 🥰

Driving through the highlands and being met with breathtaking views at every turn. And, it's not 27ºC outside. I love Scotland.

Scottish castle ruins are quite lovely. Mabeobja for scale on the first picture.

Keeping up with the long standing tradition of gaming on ferries. I finally found time to dive into The Division Resurgence. Not enough, but just enough to know I love the NYC vibes & feel more comfortable with the UI than expected. It will take a bit of getting used to, but it's good to be back.

Coucou @evilkachu.bsky.social ! J'ai bien vu ton DM via mes notifs, mais les lois anglaises m'interdisent d'y accéder sans prouver mon âge à Bluesky 😂 Merci pour les recommandations en tout cas ☺️

Hubby on the phone with the EV charger company in the middle of nowhere, Scotland. Guy on the phone has a fat Sco'ish accent, hubby has a fat Frrrench accent. Hilarious and cute. Also the charger isn't working. 🙃

Every year as level up, I share my year in cosplay, as a way to convince myself I'm not too old for this sh*t yet. This year, job + school and losing access to Photoshop means I don't have much to share, but here are a few shots from my #Fallout4 Nora. I hope I'll have more to share next year. 😭

Better. But now it's almost gym time, so we'll give it a try later in the evening.

Hello, my download indicator is losing it. 🤪 How's your day?

Celebrating my birthday in advance because I'll be in Scotland on the actual date. My mother couldn't bother wishing me a happy birthday or singing. Why? Because I told her we could change the subject when she tried to spew racist propaganda. As always, playing the victim in her self-written drama.

A cherry tree twice my age and me in clothes that are also twice my age. While Hubby was taking pictures, two Chinese tourists looked at us like I was some Instagram model. Nope, I'm just obsessed with cherry blossoms and mid-century fashion. 🤣

カツレツはフランス語のcoteletteが語源の一部だったと今日初めて知った。🤯😳

And now for something positive: it's Sakura Time!! 🌸

When we were kids, war was a very distant concept. Now, war is watching friends from gaming communities risking their lives to defend their country through social media, and asking colleagues if their city was hit and if they've heard from their family. I can't even begin to imagine their pain.

Why, oh why would my brain forget about the existence of Journey's OST?! It's so good!!

I was able to talk about closed captions in The Division 2 today at work as an accessibility specialist. 😌

Netflix kids please stay away from theaters. We absolutely don't need you commenting the whole movie out loud, I promise.

Working up the confidence to wear what feels comfortable without caring about the looks I get. You learn fast when you live in a big city full of judgemental French people. 😬🤣

"Everyone in this White House needs parental control on their screen time." Yeah, basically. I wonder when they're going to start screaming about deporting John Oliver...

People in my timeline complaining about the color contrast of team outfits making it difficult to distinguish between each team in tonight's France VS England are giving me yet a beautiful argument for 4.5:1. I won't deny myself the simple pleasure of inserting rugby to my #a11y presentations.

The beauty and kindness of all my family being there for me is unreal... Even friends of my dad came to hug me and say he was a kind soul. I guess he tried to do better. I guess we all try, for all our mistakes.

(1/3) 祝 #ディビジョン 発売10周年！ Happy 10th Anniversary, #TheDivision ! 📷 @horisankameko on Twitter #2026ドルディビv2 #AgentHighlights #TD10thAnniversary

Yeah, ouch.

My father is leaving the world of the living, and though he stepped out of my life decades ago, it's still a strange feeling. It reminds me how much I wish I'd had a chance at a normal family. How much I wish I'd had people to protect me, make me feel safe. What is it like to feel safe? I wonder.

All the game developers thanking Sandfall for not being selected in their categories at the French game awards is so cute. 🥹😅 The French industry in general is so goddang cute and wholesome, at this moment in time when everything is extra complicated. Also, they thank translation teams now.

Not necessarily feeling attached to the characters of Clair Obscur as much as everyone else, but the music sure slaps. Hubby *loves* the game, so I'm learning some of the songs for him. 🥰 Haven't put much energy into singing in a while, but the voice still gets there alright.

Too busy with work and school, left work too late to watch anything, but still repped today. ⭕ Resurgence releasing right before my 2 weeks holiday in Scotland is just perfect. 🥳

New martenitsa pattern unlocked! As we enter spring, I hope some will finally know the new beginning they deserve. 🌸

Okay so we can set a skeet's language but it doesn't reflect on the post in the HTML? What am I missing?? Why are we indicating this?

This is an accessibility test, don't mind the following skeets, they'll be deleted. This skeet is set to English.

📍 You are here (Drunk and dancing before it all comes down. And by "it" I do mean democracy. Yes, I'm in that kind of mood again.)

The number of industries trying to force AI down our throats for maximum profit while completely misunderstanding the meaning of "intelligence" is staggering. As a linguist who understands what LLMs are and aren't, it would be laughable if it didn't mean so many people losing their jobs to slop.

Victory rolls and NIN Downward Spiral shirt. I make no sense whatsoever. 🤣

Was only able to attend 2 conferences of Axe-con due to timezones, but looking forward to devouring the replays. My boss finally got to see the wonderful Lainey Feingold in action. Now she knows why I want her as a speaker in our company. 💪 #a11y

Snow + NYC= instant homesickness (no I'm not a New Yorker, it's just how it is). My boss currently being there and telling me she should bring me there to work on accessibility doesn't help. 😅

On the plus side, 1950s look!! Both dress and cap are 70+ years old, Mab is still just 41. 😁

Sick as heck and almost lost a kilogram in 3 days but let's go and do that accessibility audit that requires 100% focus and reading through HTML all day. 🙌 Almost halfway through the apprenticeship and I'm *feeling* my age right now. 😬

Back.exe has crashed (again), so I'm stuck home for 3 days. Strong-ish meds, no work, no school (officially at least). Time to tackle the tsundoku list. I'd add some gaming but the posture wouldn't be very relaxing. Maybe just a round of Fasnacht or two.

Merci, merci, merci Lucile Peytavin de mettre de la rigueur scientifique et des chiffres sur un mal qui nous bouffe tous et toutes.

Hubby is starting Expedition 33 and all I can do is tell him from which era the costumes were inspired and why. I'm not too interested in the game itself so far, but I'd totally steal that red skirt. I'll admit it looks and sounds nice, even though it's not my cuppa.

School exam #5 : Passed! ✅ On to project #6... And there's some user testing required. 😬

They're faaaar from looking good and I'm sleep deprived AF, but it's the first time I manage to make victory rolls hold with my shitty super-fine hair, so allow me to celebrate. I'll get there eventually.

Soon I can finally stop worrying about spoilers 🥹🥰 長い間ネタバレを避けていたこのマベはとてもとても嬉しいです。

DEATH STRANDING 2 ON PC LET'S DUCKING GOOOOO
