Here's a little story about The Overwhelm. Some days, I am jumping out of bed, excited about my full day of clearly-laid-out tasks, and powering through. Some days, I get asked a single question before I even get up that makes even eating breakfast impossible. Anxiety is a whole thing. 🧵

Being alive in this timeline is already a massive battle. Take a moment to congratulate yourself for getting through every day of your life so far. You're doing a great job. Have some water. Stretch. Take a deep breath, hold, release. You are worth it.

Oh no - in one specific instance, the possessive form in Czech looks and sounds pretty much identical to Greek but the order is reversed; so if I want to say "my [noun]" in Greek, I would say "[noun] mou", but in Czech, it's "mou [noun]" aaargh aaargh

How do you say "Nationalism" in German? Sounds familiar... Where have we heard that? 🤔 Funny how only the other half of that term, the part that wasn't actually true, is the part that has become a swearword in the USA...

Do I love when people supposedly on the same side as me roll up in my socials, accuse me and my people of things that we wouldn't and even literally couldn't do, then get mad when I call them out? I do not. BUT: We need to stop being distracted by infighting. Face the enemy. #kiakaha

Thinking about soup for my family tbh

Me, yesterday: I will exhaust myself sweeping my elderly neighbours' driveway The extremely rare snow (which I personally adore), overnight: BAHAHA

I dislike that my body is no longer 19 and extremely fit. I resent how long it takes me to recover from an old injury and get my mobility and strength back. But I also understand how it feels to be trapped by the weather, so I did my best to help. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2AfmPLe/

I love snow. I understand my privilege to love it. I am grateful for that. I also need a little happiness, so please, if you aren't a fan of snow, scroll past this one. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2AAjt12/

Unsurprisingly, my blog post about why I personally want to move to Europe was instabanned by FB. Good stuff.
