Her greed knows no bounds!!

This is how it feels rn to no longer be working my job while all of *gestures* is happening

One of my favorite (little) things about Singapore is the bag charm culture. Even the middle aged business men have plush keychains with their favorite Pokémon on them.

My 2026 resolutions: - Become C1 in Swedish - Go back to school to study physics (so tired of comms as a career) - Finish editing my current book - Become B2 in Mandarin (and pass the HSK3) - Speak more Romanian - Practice the same kindness towards myself that I practice towards others

If you saw me at 6am chugging a Red Bull, finishing it, and then chugging the coffee in my other hand: no you didn’t ❤️

I’m recovering from surgery and my husband is going above and beyond by doing anything I need, but he’s drawn the line at watching KPop Demon Hunters with me. Zootopia? Fine. High School Musical? Fine. KPop Demon Hunters? Impossible.

QUIT MY JOB! MOVING TO SINGAPORE FOR SIX MONTHS!

Shit that is absolutely not okay!

Big life updates coming but for now O and I are extremely obsessed with the Business Proposal K-drama!

Not to be dramatic, but I've spent the past few months grappling with how I went to school next to a nuclear waste dump. The radiation exposure likely caused my parent's brain tumor and my immune disorder. I can't help but be angry at how society failed us and exposed generations of people to this.

Immune system failed me again 😭

Me to my cat when she can’t even kill a fly

Marriage as told through Spotify DMs:

Currently reading (listening to): Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space. #BookSky 📚💙

It's that time of year!

At least she is beautiful?

Haven’t posted one of these in awhile but currently reading (via audiobook since I’ve had a nonstop migraine these past few days!) Nuclear War by Annie Jacobsen.

I am allergic to the idea of having a “natural” hair color.

My entire teens and 20s was people telling me what I should do to be “successful” which has only led to me being 30 and hating my career. So I’m firmly discounting advice from people now. Vibes only!

What if I packed up and spent five weeks in the Himalayas to focus on ceramics?

O and I are watching the Brooks Falls at Katmai National Park livestream and we’re yelling at the bears catching fish like this is a sporting event.

Okay, gotta be real: my Ember mug, which keeps my coffee/tea at my desired temperature?? Most unnecessary thing I own that's I use every single day. This skeet brought to you by me forgetting my tea for thirty minutes.

Sunt așezat. Angajații teatrului sunt speriați și vor să plec pentru că „încă nu e decembrie”, dar eu sunt prea așezat.

The only thing I’m going to really miss about Sweden is my proximity to a Costco

Ada Loveland, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton are the patron saints of programming for good reason. Hamilton also coined the term "software engineering"; she got told off for it by (male) hardware engineers as they felt it was "inflating her work's importance".

Conceptually, I know what a kilometer is. In practice? Absolutely no idea.

Can't believe my flash 'FLOUR CHILD' received second place (!?!?!) and to see 'RECONNECTION' was shortlisted in the @newwritersuk.bsky.social 100-word writing competition. Deeply honored and proud to be in a list with so many writers I admire ❤️ newwriters.org.uk/competitions...

Look what arrived in the mail yesterday! So excited to be part of the @natflashfictionday.bsky.social anthology and to dig in to all these works 🤩

Some 100 private jets will fly to Venice for Jeff Bezos' wedding, and I recycle yoghurt cup lids.

So excited that my manuscript “The Last Seven Days of Harper Bălan” is a GRW Prepublished Maggie Award for Excellence in Women’s Fiction finalist!

I hung out with a bunch of kids ONCE and now my immune system has absolutely failed me. If you need me, I’m napping on my couch.

I have a story coming out in Underbelly Press 💛 I can’t wait to share it with y’all

The coolest and smartest person I know has a law review article out!! An incredibly timely piece about international law and children’s rights. Go read!

I was wondering why people were looking at me weird while walking the dog. I have red paint from the watercolor I was working on smeared all over my face.

Wow wow wow - that first paragraph! This was such a great read 🤩 Love this @sagreene1.bsky.social

Actually I enjoy trying to find and discover myself in hell. Become a writer

They’re judging.

My Kindle died and I'm definitely reacting like a normal person about this.

I hate Josh Hawley so much, but the people in the QTs celebrating Missourians suffering? You can eat shit. (But also fuck Hawley for supporting a coup, voting to cut FEMA funding, and propping up this tyrannical regime!)

"My inheritance is a coffee-stained couch" by Alice Lyon @wordsbyalice.bsky.social is today's 75-word #story on Paragraph Planet paragraphplanet.com
