I don’t care that they don’t care. When we bought an electric car 2 years ago, we didn’t even try a Tesla. Musk was already a world-class douchebag, and we didn’t want to give him any money. I avoid shopping on amazon, because Bezos has been an awful exploitative man for years. And now I’m […]

We’ve reached that point in the year when the bird songs and occasional warmth make you think spring is here, but there’s actually two more months until the trees get leaves. The spring is a lie.

Resistance can be as simple as using certain terms: "online video" instead of "YouTube video". "online search" instead of "Google Search" (or "do a search" instead of "google it".) "music playlist" instead of "Spotify playlist". Do not give these company any free advertising by using their […]

There really needs to be a sleeper train that goes from Stockholm to Amsterdam, Brussels or even Cologne. #CrossBorderRail

I got a haircut today. Usually the chatter with the hairdresser is about the school or the construction work nearby etc. Today, it was about how she went through every shampoo and hairbrush and comb she buys and removed anything coming from the US. People outside Denmark often don’t realise how […]

The news out of the oval office tonight is both shocking and absolutely not surprising. Europe must stand with our Ukrainian friends, more than ever. Slava Ukraini!

I got so many great ideas for how to fix the grommet on this quilted backpack, and I tried a bunch, but ultimately realized I should just cut it off. This bag is about an inch shorter than the the pattern called for, but still roomy I made the embroidery font […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

If someone were bored and looking for a rabbit hole to follow, I would suggest looking at what some companies are calling AI today, and checking if they called the same thing an algorithm 2 years ago.

I made a little cape for baby’s hobbit carnival costume and then @Pepijn said “what if people think it’s a Harry Potter cape?” so now I’m hand-embroidering a Lorien leaf to make sure there is no confusion. How is everyone else’s Sunday going?

Magnificent herds of #deer in the field across our home. Easily 25 of them. Sorry about the super loud car halfway through. Baby babbles hopefully make up for it. I declare this #Deersday. I expect it to be a resounding success like #Caturday

You know why we Germans are so pedantic about data protection? Someone around 90 years ago went through all records available, selected people with certain criteria, with the help of IBM, and then killed them all. We don't want to be on any list. And now the US Gov and Musk is trying to get […]

Remember that the NAACP is calling for a massive boycott of Walmart, McDonald's and Meta because of their about face on DEI under pressure from the vague notions of the US president and his friends. I would appreciate it you participated in this boycott too. It seems like it's pretty big […]

Today at lunch, conversation with colleagues somehow landed on star gazing, and I explained that with an amateur telescope, @Pepijn and I looked at Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons and the phases of Venus all in one evening. Two nice feelings come from this: - first, it's lovely to see people […]

@Pepijn and I just decided baby will dress up as a hobbit for carnival this year, and I don’t think either of us were ever this excited about carnival when we were kids ourselves. This is going to be so cute, it will break mastodon.

[us pol, trump destroys everything he touches] Prediction: as part of Trump's mission to destroy everything he touches, he is going to deliberately make it impossible for corporations to follow both US and EU law. Climate targets and CSRD reporting will be specifically forbidden soon.

Holiday planning mode: where in #Germany can we find a nice place for holidays, with swimmable lakes, a nice hike or two and pretty cities/villages to visit? Ideally roughly equidistant of North East France (where my sister will be driving from) and Denmark (where we will be driving from).
