Moving is a lot easier when you have a cat to help you pack...🤡

On my way to see Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in flesh and bone❣️

Currently reading her new book, #DreamCount.

I might need to let the cat out of the bag...

Happy #Caturday!

Happy International Mother Language Day ❤️💛💙

My mother tongue is #Romanian while my father’s is #Hungarian. My grandfather, on the other hand, likely spoke #Aromanian - a reminder of how languages shape our identities and histories.

Currently reading #Bitch by Lucy Cooke. What a treat!

I just love her matter-of-fact tone when explaining, not without empathy, how incredibly wrong scientific institutions like Darwin were (in some respects).

Yes, in record time I have turned into the kind of cat owner who acts as if their cat is a divine gift to the world...

In #Aromanian the word for cat is "cãtushi" 😻 in Romanian it is "pisică" 😼

I can't believe it's almost over!
My "happy place" this January was the Endangered Language Challenge run by Sophia Smith Galer (@sophiasgaler.bsky.social).

I had so much fun and learned a lot! I chose #Aromanian this time, and I am so happy that I did!

Someone holding the book "The Little Prince", an Aromanian translation of it. Aromanian is an Eastern European Romance language related to the Romanian language.
