My (beloved, long suffering) Indonesian tutor just banned me from applying personal pronouns to abstract concepts, things or animals* until I'm more fluent, because saying things like "I love her" about a cute cake sounds weird at my level 🥲

May I please have £300k for this very Hobbit-coded 14th century watermill. It's a wildlife conservation area with otters and living here would fix me.

To not reinforce bad behaviour, I ignore my cats acting out for attention...unless they're doing something so dangerous or so destructive that I'm forced to step in.

Learning passive voice in Indonesian and my homework included an example with exeronative cop voice (Kaki demonstran itu tertembak.) and I am scrambling to find the vocabulary to learn more about its use in Indonesian because I am very chill and normal.

I love Anki. I want so badly to love to use Anki but the UI makes me understand why the owl app is so popular.
Can anyone recommend me a flashcard app that doesn't feel like pulling teeth?

Setting up a new (secondhand) computer and this short, beautiful time before I'm logged into apps that send notifications is an active delight.

Trying to send a bank transfer to an American account and spiraling as I wonder why America was allowed to have such an outsized impact on global affairs.
This doesn't need to be this hard. This is not a system built by a serious country.

Social media confession time, I have betrayed all of my core values and moved to London.
Birmingham remains the best city in the UK* and I was right to have made it the keystone of my identity.
