Looking at my guitar, 3d printer, drawing notebooks, balls of yarn, flute and god knows what else I have buried in my many junk drawers…

Every one of them came with that feeling….
I feel like having a little cry right now 😭

A still from the badger badger badger song.
One of the most persistent ear worms ever made :)

I needed a new one, the old one was worn out :)

Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.

• The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
• Dungeons & Dragons
• Pirates of Dark Water
• Conan the Adventurer

Anachronox, but that’s never going to happen :(

That game ended on such a cliffhanger.

I wish I could actually listen to what is being said to me for more than 5 minutes. Instead of having my attention drift off and me starting to daydream about something the other said.

I use a large folded microfiber towel as knee support in pilates. It’s not as spongy as a normal towel but soft and supportive enough for those exercises that put a lot of stress on my knees or tailbone.

I did the thing yesterday. It wasn’t my intention, and it was kind of incidental , but I’m so glad I did it in the end.
I can definitely recommend, just do the thing, you’ll thank yourself later.

I’m not a native English speaker, but I always thought an expression like “oh boy” was more self-reflective. Like you say it more to yourself than to whoever you’re talking to.
In which case, the other’s gender shouldn’t really matter?
In any case, I personally don’t feel insulted or misgendered if someone uses it in a conversation with me.

My partner stresses too much with work and I wish I could help more. But all I can do is give comfort and urge to at least let things go when at home.
Any practical advice is always brushed off, which I can understand. Sometimes you just need to vent and I don’t mind listening about what happened this time. I just hate seeing them like this, it does make me worry a bit about their health.

PICO-8, though it’s more of an on-and-off again project of trying to teach myself to program again.
But I like the limitations you have to work with, and even I can create some crude 8x8 sprites :)

Maps and compass. I like the reliability of finding my way no matter where I am. Plus it’s fun!
Especially the trick of using two landmarks to pinpoint my location on a map makes me feel like an old-fashioned navigator :)

A slipknot works great! It’s done in a second and easily undone as well.

Yum, war fries :)

Happy Birthday!
Sorry to hear about your birthday money, I hope you’ll still get to have nice day in spite of it!

I crochet little animals for friends and family.
Unasked, most of the time :)

When I was a kid our family went on vacation to the US. Everyone kept asking if I was Dutch, which I thought was German (Deutsch).
So I kept correcting them, saying I was Netherlandish :)

Worrying what other people think of me.
I know I shouldn’t care, but it’s hard not to.

“Political ideologies, an introduction” by Andrew Heywood, is available for free online.

It was required reading for my history study in uni about ten years ago. This seems to be a newer edition. It’s quite a read, but it covers a lot of isms in a generally unbiased manner.
