The Merlins in Berlin

I have never been more glad that my brother did not reenlist with the Marines.

Snuggles. 🥰

So stinking busy! Overall good and productive but just a lot to do.

Forever and always.

Anyway, here's Wonderwall.....

Here’s hoping everyone gets rest and tomorrow is less stressful. ♥️

Nope

I’ll be right there.

Music teachers are such special folks. They leave an intense impression on their students. ♥️

Are you on stimulants? In a pinch when I haven’t had meds I’ve used pocket coffees or other “extra caffeine” sources (gum etc) to help smooth things out.

He’s definitely earning bonus points for his Visa. 😉

Lost my job. But it’s sunny and above 50 degrees so at least I get to enjoy beautiful Berlin. Went to a book discussion with friends yesterday and found an excellent spicy chicken restaurant run by an American.

His main complaint is that there was no sign warning him about the spice.
SO GERMAN.

If you wear big sunglasses and red lipstick after staying up late nobody can see the bags under your eyes. Pro tip. 😉

I am surprised that they haven’t had imminent domain pulled on them. I hope they hold out!

I loved Sheldon! The last season was hard to watch since we know what’s coming…but it’s such a good show!! I haven’t watched the spin off because I don’t have a way to see it.

I truly miss a good rainstorm. We don’t get those kind of rainstorms here; just piddly light rain. No thunder.

Aw, my dad had one in Smurf blue!! 🥰

I miss a good solid rainstorm. We don’t get that kind of rain here.

Book cover for I Will Not Abandon You: Queer Women in Nazi Germany by Samuel Clowes Hunek

Thanks again @jonnywhitlam.bsky.social for arranging the event!
The author gave a great talk about his upcoming book (out April 14th; in English).

The word for this effort—which coincidentally we’ll be discussing in class today—is genocide.

Front row on the top of the double decker bus. Best view in Berlin!

You should hear kiddo explain when the Wii came out. It’s like he’s narrating a dinosaur documentary. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Had an excellent night learning about Nazi Germany’s treatment of queer women. Learning is always important.

(I didn’t post this response in German…I rarely post in German. Not sure why it has a translate??)

There’s a Brazilian bakery near us…and they sell cheese bread. 😍

Youngest kiddo brought a friend home after school. Watching him show his friend how to play Wii Sports is super entertaining. 🤣

What does a demonic sex party entail? 🧐

All the good vibes for this sunny morning!
