The week is over, now I can finally enjoy a 3-days weekend! The only positive thing that Catholics did was instituting a bunch of bank holidays

Since that one genocidal country is still allowed to participate in #Eurovision through that clownish consultation, I will not be watching and commenting it next year. The EBU had countless chances to do the right thing, but they clearly prefer coddling a rogue state that manipulates the televote.

I'm tired but satisfied, I had an important meeting at work and I was feeling so much pressure about it, but it turned out to be less scary than I thought and it went fairly well! That's my small victory for today🥳

I started reading in German after a long time, for my December reading I picked "Marzahn Mon Amour. Geschichten einer Fußpflegerin" by Katja Oskamp. Have you read it?

By the way, the number 8 being called "sekiz" in Turkish is really confusing me, it reminds me of "six" or "sechs" (the number 6 in English and German respectively)😵💫
Has it occurred to you, too?

Imagine making a coup attempt against a president that has participated in his own country's resistance against a dictatorship and, once you get your sentence (which did not include jail time), you get sent to jail anyway because you try to tamper your ankle monitor. Bolsonaro being a clown again🤡

Update on Lingo Legends: it's definitely fun and motivating to learn Korean, the vocabulary is also closely related to day-to-day life topics, so it's actually useful, but I need to integrate a more practical part to fully un-block myself.

Everytime I open the #Eurovision feed here on Bluesky, I lose a bit of faith in humanity. WTF is wrong with ORF?
ORF's director general meeting with the President of Israel should be THE open-air Watergate of Eurovision history.
Instead NO ONE is reporting on it. #eurovision
