A last glance onto our harbor before heading home - now waiting for boarding of the plane to start. This was a fantastic sailing trip 🌊💖

Pardon me, is that your boat that smells like a...

Passing by the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier in the bay of Palma today... Big bully sitting in the middle of the bay, making everyone have to go around it in a huge circle to get to the harbor. ;)

The waterproof smartphone case works for taking underwater pictures! Behold, it's our dinghy, the "Flauto Loco", as seen from underneath our main boat, the "Stupido Touristo"!

I'm a Dinghy skipper now... But it came at a price.

Found a beautiful, deserted beach with a little chiringuito selling some sangria five minutes before closing for the day. Perfect view of the setting sun, relaxing before moving on.

Stormy day is over - onwards and back to the open sea again! 🌊

Previous day's rest in the bay of San Telmo, arriving at sunset with a beautiful view (and eerie animal sounds all night through) of the island Sa Dragonera. 🐉

Stuck in Port d'Andratx for the night with some rain and thunderstorm lingering behind the mountains around the bay... Rain against the boat I'm sleeping in is lovely ⛈️

Sailing the seas~ 🌊

Let's go~

Could the local corporation please tone down their dimension splicing experiments at night? I gotta get up early tomorrow!

#Language fun fact: In #Japanese, just like you'd say "to have balls" in English to express "being courageous, bold etc.", you say "肝がある" - "kimo ga aru" - "to have liver". I wonder where courage is seated in other languages of the world.

I just learned ニキ ("niki"), shortened from 兄貴 ("aniki" -> elder brother), is the Japanese version of... "bro". Japanese meme videos are... a whole new rabbit hole.

One of those occasions where it's so much harder to leave for vacay than it should be, to leave work behind when there is always too much to do. Day job should always be less important than your own life. There should be no guilt nor anxiety leaving it behind for free days.

Last day at work before my vacation starts and I'm amazed at how my to do list even fits underneath the ceiling. Ganbatteru! Still, once this workday is over, it'll be vacation no matter what. Yay! 💖

Last year I went to the #Gay #Museum in #Berlin. I can only recommend it to everyone.

#Stonewall was a riot. Christopher Street Days are a party. But they are a riot. CSDs started in Christopher Street in 1969, when the police raided an illegal gay bar, the Stonewall. The riots had trans people. T and Q always belong to the LGB. We must never separate. 💖

I was right now years old when I learned that there is a #Stonewall movie. ... ... made by Roland Emmerich. I am in physical pain right now.

I just looked up pictures of actual #Tanuki and the very first image Google brings up is... the absolutely most perfectly spherical creature I have ever seen.

I have been told by conservative right that my way of life should be illegal. That it is okay as long as I keep it hidden. None of my questions as for "why?!" have been answered. Not a single one. Just "because it is like that". Seriously? Fuck that. No tolerance towards the right. Fuck off.

I know there are more meanings to the 拉 kanji, and there are ateji, characters only used for their sound, not their meaning. Then again you now know, whenever you have a nice bowl of Ramen, you are eating "Abduction Noodles" 💖

I love finding connection of language, fashion and culture, so reading a lot from yesterday's Straw Hat Riots I naturally got to the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943, to Chicano culture and to Pachuco slang. I'm loving it. I only knew of Cockney rhyming slang before, but nel, pastel, Pachuco does it, too 💖

Happy 103rd Straw Hat Riot Day, today National Felt Hat Day! Remember 1922, when there were riots with arrests and injuries, because there were men wearing straw hats past the unwritten, socially acceptable date. And maybe learn there is no need for violence about things that hurt noone ;)

Six more days of work until my vacation - I can't wait! 💖

I need a crossover animated music video in the style of Edgerunners' "I really wanna stay at your house"... with a cute SCP-1471 Mal0 💦

Nee, ehrlich gesagt müssen wir noch sehr viel lauter sein.

Level 42 of 60 on #Wanikani. I have never before been this far with learning #kanji and I am excited as all heck. 💖

Discovered a very pretty little ravine on my way back home from a business meeting yesterday. Perfect place for a pause from driving and a walk~ 💖

One more night of sleep to... getting my new ID and passport. And all the more bureaucracy to follow up on that. 🏳️‍🌈

Ooh, nice update I just noticed in @bsky.app - we can now tag a post as several #languages simultaneously! Hopping about in between #English, #German and #Japanese, I very much appreciate this!

Commence getting back into running... after last properly having dome that in school.

If you didn't know of Creepy Nuts before - enjoy some Japanese Hip Hop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce6y...

Started watching the second season of Yofukashi no Uta. I am so embarrassingly happy it got another animated season. It is one of my number one feel good #anime. Also. More Creepy Nuts soundtrack~

I hope everybody at #Eurofurence has a ton of fun! Unfortunately I am not being there this year.

Been listening to "Shake it off" by Taylor Swift on loop and while it is chō-bouncy what really hooks me is the little giggle at "I go on too many dates" at the beginning. Aaah cute!

Currently learning how wearing #nailpolish nonstop absolutely destroys your fingernails. XD Oof. Taking a break with nail oil. And should absolutely talk to a pro about doing good care.

My friend sent me a copy of "The Lord of the Rings" because I mentioned I never read it. It... what... it is paper? What.. what should I... I don't even know where to put this. XD

Pink sky yesterday. Kawaii!

So, hopefully soon, can we sing "Ding dong the something else..." because witches are really cool? 💖

One week until I can pick up my new ID and passport! 🏳️‍🌈

So, looking for this problem online brings up... this seems to be a common problem. Despite all "environment sealing" of this 1200 € camera body. Let's see what support and warranty has to say. Though I am afraid I will have to pay for it getting fixed. Yay, this close to a vacation. #Nikon

WTF, help! I just noticed the rubber coating on the body of my #Nikon #Z6II is bulging weirdly in various places, even entirely splitting off of the camera body on the side. It has been sitting in a shelf for about a month untouched. Anybody else had experienced this? 😨

Lately I am getting tons of follows by super stereotype "business! money! masculinity!" accounts... where are those coming from? Uhm... can you please stay away?

Haven't seen Grave of the Fireflies 蛍 (hotaru/firefly) came up in my kanji lessons. Out of curiosity I looked up the original story title, got lost in a rabbit hole Hotaru spelled 火垂る using kanji for "fire drooling down" for autobiographic fire bombing experience is so eerie. Watching it right now

I am actually kind of proud I'm no longer getting "Nihongo jōzu!" - "You're talented at Japanese!" I'm getting the REAL Japanese compliment now. "Sasuga" - "As expected" xD

WC, oder... "Erlebnis WC". Choose wisely...

I am about to post way too much about (neo)pronouns in a plethora of languages because my native language sucks hard considering that topic. But I am holding back for now.

Today's #Japanese tutoring started with talking about the weather... Then completely escalated to hard mode trying to explain, in Japanese only, German "Leitpfosten", the meaning of their reflective dots and stripes, and the need to modify them so they work in deep snow in the Black Forest winter.

40 of 60 #Wanikani levels completed - onward to the final third and to finally being able reading #Japanese 💖
