Used to translate books, now a manual software tester. I write sad poems in English and sff stories in my native Hungarian. I make Celtic knotwork inspired animal drawings and take too many photos of the same hills and vales. Trans rights are human rights.

Who needs an #ArtBreak? This painting by Criselda Vásquez has rightfully resurfaced in recent days: art as social dialogue, & all that. "The New American Gothic" (2017, Oil on Canvas) reframes Wood's 1930 classic around the reality of work at the heart of US society. (@crisssvasquez on Instagram)

These days it is especially important to find joy in small things. Today I had a long lunch with my father; watched the sunset on a meadow of wild flowers and thyme; stag beetles buzz by; saw a woman sitting on a bale of hay with her dog beside her; bats hunting at dusk; fireflies.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

It wasn't me who was into Nitzer Ebb, I was a grunger and a metalhead, it was my boyfriend and it sort of grew on me and then stayed with me. I have a few NE tracks on almost all my playlists and I rarely skip them. 58 is just too young to die. RIP Douglas McCarthy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqQf...

It's been a rough couple of weeks and I'm not sure I'm out of the woods just yet. AND I ran out of bananas, one of the few food items I'm not wildly allergic to.

Yesterday I was sooo happy I could finally test a long overdue task and that everything worked that I forgot there was a very small Part 2 to the task. Yeah, my manager remembered. Yeah, that part doesn't work. Yeah, my whole job description as a tester is attention to detail. Another great day.
