I've got a new poem out today with Dodo Eraser: dodoeraser.org/2026/01/19/p...

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.

Belated, but here's my GitHub 2025 wrapup.

Oh, and not related but: I have a new poem out, published yesterday. burialmagazine.neocities.org/7365isthephof

Loving the snow in Berlin. Not loving a "feels like" of -14.

Discovered spekulatius peanut butter and have leveled up my toast game.

Put up the Christmas tree today and now one cat is hellbent on stealing all the ornaments, because cat.

Not a great look for Brammibals. archive.ph/BYxFi

I wrote a golden shovel inspired by a line from a poet who was inspired by a line from another poet. Wild. hawkeyemag.com/stories/a-na...

Real shock coming from 20C in Naples to 10C in Berlin.

here's the second batch of pets :V

thank you! They are adorable

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.")

Just met Ralph Casper from Sendung mit der Maus at the @joycemanor.bsky.social show so there’s that.

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.

T Swift is problematic AF but this new album bops.

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.

Just learned a musician I interviewed 13 years ago is a teacher at my son's school! Small world.

Emo girl autumn has arrived!

ACAB here and anywhere. I'll never forgive successive governments here their support for this genocide and how they have handled dissent.

Pals in Munich: Does anyone have recommendations of a nice restaurant in Isarvorstadt area for a team dinner? Doesn't need to be fancy, must have vegan and vegetarian options.

Why does shopping for school materials in Germany feel like cracking a secret code?

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.

Flew NYC to Dublin and I STILL have six more hours until I am home and I just want to be in my bed 😭

Just swam in the pond in New Lebanon at midnight under a full moon and it was transformative.

Just got told by a tween/teen boy on my flight that my hair is AWESOME, dbj.

At the airport in Ireland and it feels like I’m in an episode of Derry Girls.

Last minute but if any Berlin mutuals wanna join me to see Osees tonight I have a +1.

ACAB but especially Berlin ones.

If you want to do the @sealeychallenge.bsky.social but are struggling for funds - this is one way forward. Years and years of Ghost City's Summer Series avail for free. These guys are my absolute favourite press. They do it right! ghostcitypress.com/summer-serie...

Fries with kimchi and sour cream (or vegan soy yogurt in this case) will never not be amazing.

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.

14 years in Germany today!

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.

I blinked and now I have a 10-year-old kid.

Went to see Elio today in the theater, made snickerdoodles for my son’s class on Monday, and now we’re installing our A/C (yes, we caved and got one).

This is THE tweet of all time

I’m shocked having someone write your essay doesn’t make you smarter

Someone forgot to oil the plagiarism engine

Spent my evening eating vegan cheez doodles, drinking beer, and binging Love Is Blind UK with my brother.

Up at 4am after a fitful night of sleep and now on my way to Sweden (via Frankfurt, because we can’t have nice things, a direct flight from Berlin to GBG being one of them).

whoever came up with “the more, the merrier” has clearly never met more people

I wrote a cento and Resurrection Magazine published it. Happy it found a home there!

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

Had a good weekend with the kid. Yesterday we went on a 4-hour walk, stopping at Zenner for food, seeing baby swans and ducks, exploring the park, and eventually coming home. Today we went to the movies and saw the ??? film. Not my first choice, but it was nice to spend so much time together.

It was too good to be true... www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/t...
