December movie day 7: Jinrō Jinrō is set in an authoritarian postwar Japan in the saga's alternate history where Nazi Germany won World War II, occupied Japan (a member of the Allies in this timeline), and eventually denazified back into the Weimar Republic.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

December movie day 6: Departures When Daigo's orchestra is disbanded, the cellist goes back to his hometown and find a job to help the deceased prepare for their final journey.

Worst customer service response towards a person with a chronic disability by Flixbus. After my trip in December I will never be using them again. Ableism by companies is gross in 2025.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

I went from 38 an hour to 6. 5 is the goal but you can see already a huge improvement in one night. Might have to get a special pillow as I am a side sleeper. The sensation is like you sleep in a permanent soft and steady breeze.

The device is heavy 😂 but easy to use. Got a full mask because I sleep with my mouth open. 😅 It can send data remotely to the company and my pulmonologist and in two weeks we will do a check in on how it is going. I can check the data in the app after a nights' sleep. 💤

December movie day 5: Tokyo Godfathers On Christmas Eve three homeless people (Gin, Hana, Miyuki) find an abandoned baby. Their search for the parents begins because no baby should spend Christmas alone.

you better watch out you betTER WATCH OUT YOU BETTER WATCH OUT Happy Krampusnacht!

If I manage to snag up some tickets for an event in October 2026, I will be in Tokyo. Wish me luck in January.

Last hospital visit today, I got referred to a pulmonologist after my sleep trial. I have serious sleep apnea where I stop breathing 38 times an hour. 🥲 Today I will meet up the company that's giving me access to a cpap device. My specialist said I will feel better when I start using it.

Shopping small is meaningful!

Just had this, it's amazing. Next time want to try the pistachio.

December movie day 4: The Amazing Maurice Rats are terrorizing the neighbourhood when Maurice tells the villagers to pay the Pied Piper to save the day. While the rats are lead out of the village it becomes clear that these animals are sentient and the villagers have been tricked.

I think the world would be better with less billionaires. Especially this monstrosity.

2024/2025 have been pretty bad for me. Went through a terrible burnout which led me to throw my life around drastically after my GP warning me that I was overworking towards a heart attack. I've been doing well the last three weeks, besides that killer cold. In 2026 more art and less work. ❤️

December movie day 3: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within Earth is infested by an alien life form called Phantoms. Dr. Aki Ross discovers a means to defeat them and must collect eight spirits and save Earth.

For work mode music we are listening to 90s Eurodance. Ah, to be young again.

December movie day 2: La Cité des enfants perdus Mad scientist Krank cannot dream and ages prematurely. In order to find a solution, he lets children be kidnapped and strapped to his machine to steal their dreams.

So just because it's Dutch culture (it's a horrible tradition look op Black Pete Netherlands) someone in the office thought it was fine to show up in black face forgetting that we are an American company. The unfolding of the chaos was something I never hope to experience again.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Leaving your warm bed get harder this cold season.

December movie day 1: The Mouse that Roared. A satirical comedy on a ban the bomb theme. The small Grand Dutchy of Fenwick manages to successfully invade the United States of America and win the war against them. Triple role for Peter Sellers.

A doll collecter was called out for AI use, and instead of just leaving it at that she became extremely hostile. I had missed the beginning but ended up blocking her because her attitude turned rather nasty. And no, gaining 1000 bot-accounts as followers in 10 mins is not great. Fuck bots.

This is my second stock Blythe I got this year. Hazel the Hedgehog has a cute design. Tomorrow I'll wash out her hair because the product they ship her with is nasty. Meet Hazel 🦔 #dollsky #blythe

For the holiday month of December I'll be watching one of my favourite movies a day. The pre-selection has been made. They aren't all holiday themed but all of them are gems.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen. Kraftwerk at Heineken Music Hall Daft Punk at Heineken Music Hall The Editors at Queens Uni (Belfast) Electric Six at Lime Light (Belfast) Stromae at Afas

Accidentally bought a skyr snack with added protein. The worst thing ever...

Terumaru, a bright young lightbulb and the mascot of the Tokyu Denki electric company, trapped in a door yesterday:

Just signed up for a three hour Batik workshop at the Vrije Academie in Amsterdam. Roll on December 17th! Looking forward to it. ♥️

Better photo. 🇸🇷

The gender gap in pay is so large that Dutch women work the last 38 days of the year for free while their male colleagues reap full benefits for the same work. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The photo doesn't do it justice, too dark inside but I just bought a handmade blanket made of fabric from Suriname and it's their independence day today. 🇸🇷

People shoul not be afraid of their governments, government should be afraid of their people.

Watching this one, how the times have turned for the worse.

MIT's famous linguistic professor Noam Chomsky was in regular and close contact with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to a review of emails published by the U.S. House Oversight Committee. In the documents, Chomsky described Epstein as a "highly valued friend."

clogsandsneakers.nl/can-you-stil... Found a bit of energy to write about my escapades in Amsterdam last Saturday. Now I feel ready for bed with this nasty flu.

You guys, I found a shop in Indonesia that was shipping worldwide their Batik props and fabrics. I just had the nicest interaction with Fikhar of BatikYin about batik and my grandfathers' home town after I placed an order. Made me cry, such a sweet man. 😭

Sometimes I feel bad that I don't have a higher education but then I think back at an old coworker with a PhD and him falling for the MSG racist trope and I feel less bothered by it.

Yay, I caught the flu bug. Luckily my mom had all her vaccinations. I apologised to her as people in my office will never learn to stay home when sick so the virus is spreading like wild fire there. Her: as long as people don't cover their mouth during flu season I am always at risk. Mask up 😷

Black Box Diaries is finally airing in the Netherlands. I was a bit scared of looking at the comments because womens' stories are sometimes dismissed but it's been overwhelming in support for Shiori Itō. Currently there is a high profile case of a Dutch singer SA'ing a young girl.

Husband has the heavy cold and I can't properly walk today as my legs are really hurting. If we weren't allowed to work from home, we'd be both off sick. Still employers push for full time office time. 😫

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."

*taps the sign*

Look I spent €21,95 on a Hello Kitty Christmas ornament yesterday but it's Hello Kitty. The Vondels ornaments are well made. vondels.com/en_US/
