Come and join me in celebrating an incredible achievement: I've just rolled up not one but two sleeping bags in such a way that they fit their, well, bags on the first try. Two! No un-/re-rolling! Mind. Blown. Drinks are on me.

Most preposterous thing happened in class today, or how to emotionally break a millennial in one sentence: randomly bringing up Indiana Jones (as you do) and a student chimes in with "Sorry, I don't watch western movies."

Say what you will about public transportation in Berlin (and there's a lot to be said...) but the lady they sent to retrieve my AirPod case was a heaven-sent daredevil, boldly jumping onto the tracks, exclaiming "who wants to wait on day as fucking hot as today for them to figure out the signals?"

This was just another one of those days where you leave the house and something immediately feels wrong, but you can't quite put your finger on it. Strange. On an unrelated note: I just realized I've been wearing my boxershorts the wrong way 'round all day. #NeedMoreSleep #GoodNight

Listen, I love everything this book has to offer and I'm sure so will you, but what I'd love more than this? For "Shores of the Silver Thrum" to become a book just like this, so, uhmn... Make this one as successful as it deserves to be, yeah? And lest I forget: Do you seek him?

Less than an hour to wait for this - grab those tickets now and join the premiere of Earworm to fill that Alan Wake shaped hole in your heart (or just to listen to something I suspect will be pretty darn good, your choice).

What strange accolades to be mentioned in the same breath as @thelaurentucker.bsky.social @maryhellscream.bsky.social and @megaran.com for a rap battle about... going to the toilet?! I'll take it. By God, I'll take it! Also, the rest of the album [expletive] slaps! 🔥🎶🎮🎶🔥

I'll be having whatever that alldayandnightingale in front of my bedroom windows is having, please.

Are you tired of all the horror (adjacent) stuff I've popped up in over the past year or so? Well, do I have a treat for... oh. Oh... So, this is kinda awkward, but... Head on over to @redracula.bsky.social for the public release of a certain lil' short story, maybe? open.spotify.com/episode/1rk4...

10yo me: wow, you're pushing 40 now. Your taste must be well refined and your humour as poignant as a telephone book! Current me: Yes. Also, I discovered this song today and giggled uncontrollably for a handful of minutes. [ both high-five each other ] open.spotify.com/track/09xahI...

So, apparently my NatGeo subscription now comes with a complimentary stat boost? Maybe now I can finally avoid all those crit reading fails?!

Fellow human users of the Bluesky network: it has landed! The outrageously good @darkdicepod.bsky.social Album I had the inconceivable pleasure of helping create alongside names far greater than mine (that would easily burst Bsky's character count) is yours to listen to anywhere you like now. Enjoy.

Sorry Severance, it's not you, it's only that this Friday belongs to The Gorge - gotta know what @crobertcargill.bsky.social has been up to (while I patiently await Dreams and Shadows #3 😉).

Looking for a quick fairytale-sized, "What if Ray Bradbury had spent most his time in Scandinavia" flavoured snack? Well, Danilo's cooked up something good for you!

I know, I know, I'm incredibly late to the game and it's an IP and everything, but someone at the studio clearly didn't have pets - how's the movie not called "A Quiet Cat: Day one"?! My suspension of disbelief can only be stretched so far... (kick-ass movie, tho!)

Been wondering when this would drop so I could finally talk about it - turns out it's been a Patreon exclusive since Halloween 🤦 Guess the release of Nosferatu is as good a reason as any: Here's to me paying more attention and joining the @redracula.bsky.social fun! www.patreon.com/posts/115050...

It really is the little things: been teaching beginner's level German to digital classes where 98% of students hide behind "broken" cameras, thinking that participation is optional. Asking about jobs/professional goals, random guy unmutes and goes "...Uhmn... Protector of the Galaxy...?". #mademyday

Let's do this! My takeaway from this year's wrapped? The downside to being a patron seems to be that Spotify is not aware of how often I listened to the amazing S3E10 of @darkdicepod.bsky.social or just how much I love Shadows at the door (no account yet, eh @mostlymarknixon.bsky.social?). Oh well..

So true, only that I remember my feed to be a beautiful wall of @crobertcargill.bsky.social skeets and now it's full of actual friends (not that I would mind calling Mr. Cargill an actual friend, though). Sorry to add to your notifications - it sure has advantages living over here in passive-bsky.

First thought of the day that's in no way related to the morning routine: I really just want to live in a place that smells of freshly cut pine tree and cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven all day, every day. Is that too much to ask?

Apparently I've made a huge mistake... Don't know if it's the same for anyone else out there, but I remember my (grand)parents admonishing me that pomegranate stains won't ever come out again. Well... 🧵 [1/?]

It's 2024 and I've just started playing Hollow Knight for the first time - just thought I'd let you know. (And yes, I'll absolutely get around to playing Mass Effect at some point. Promise.)

On an unrelated note: thank fuck (excusez-moi) for @mostlymarknixon.bsky.social reminding me of Starve Acre! Finally watched it and should've done so much earlier! Also should start judging books by their cover again - been sleeping on those Andrew Michael Hurley books for too long apparently...

Wanna hear an actual horror story? After a long day of teaching I was getting ready to listen to the new @malevolent.bsky.social episode only to wake up again long after it finished. But - plot twist - 'twas a comedy all along: apparently fell asleep before pushing play; happy to dive in now!

Oh, hello old friends! New friends, welcome! Have a complimentary digital donut from a Lake House dlc screenshot. Let's make this place a bit cozier than the old one, yeah? Hugs and stuff.

There are days when I think that I really need more friends/people to follow on this here platform, and then there's the rest of them where I simply enjoy my Bluesky being a wall of @crobertcargill.bsky.social posts. #WouldntHaveItAnyOtherWay

Just listened to the latest SatD discussion and have to say thank you @mostlymarknixon.bsky.social and @davidault.bsky.social - for quite some time now I've been trying to tell friends that Chibnall's writing simply wasn't that great only to be shut down for "hating the Doctor being a woman"...

So I just accidentally microwaved a fruit fly (1 min, 800W) - flew in as I closed the door and hit the start button, made a few rounds inside and came right out as the door opened again. Not what I expected. Need I be worried of having invited Seth Brundle's evil twin brother into our home now?

Well, uhmn... This is awkward, but listen @ventravis.bsky.social I can explain! It's just... errrr... @mostlymarknixon.bsky.social didn't make me get up at 4 in the morning for recording sessions (that I loved every moment of)? I can enjoy SatD without being scared for Jare at every corner? Dunno...

And just as I listen to *that* scene of the @aintslayed.bsky.social The Waking Children finale, a stray cat decides that it is the perfect night to start scratching at the garden door - thought it was one of @thelirivalley.bsky.social amazing sound effects at first... #SlightlyTerrified

You just know that the season of mulled wine and family member giving highly informed opinions on all things polit- sorry, reality TV, is inevitably upon you when the eggs come with a best before date of 01/12...

Surreal moment of the day: listening to the new episode of one of your favourite podcasts - the one that got you into listening to/sticking with podcasts - and immediately being greeted by your own voice. In other words: Ermagehrd, I'm in #TheWhiteVaultGoshawk ?!? What's next? THE MOON?!?

Orrite people of the Starfields and the Baldur's Gates, time for me to jump in the fray as well! See u there!

I've said it before and I'll happily say it again: thank you @flanaganfilm.bsky.social! #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher

Bluesky tells me that it's been 25 days since my last post, so please, have a look at one of the many things I've been up to in the meantime:

Fun post-birthday activity: Waking up covered in your own blood because you caught that thirsty thirsty berserker mosquito in your sleep and revelled in it...

It's 23:25 and I'm having cake - it's just one of those days, I guess.

Join me today as I record re-takes for "calm and focused breathing", making my character sound like the leader of a meditation retreat 😮‍💨

"If you like it..." Pwahahaha, I LOVE IT (partly because I'm in it to some degree but 🤫), so I'm sharing it with ALL OF YOU!!!

Let this be my first post... or... Cumulus? Whaddaya call 'em over here? Any established terminology I should be aware of? Ah, this is going to be fun.
