Baked chickpeas are a sensory nightmare, I realise. They are crunchy but so fucking dry πŸ₯²

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!

-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

This is NOT a coincidence.

Propaganda is not all in your face β€œrussia is glorious, kill all Ukrainians”, they are appealing to all groups including progressive pro-LGBTQ+ youth with that hockey show, they want all of you to think russia is anything but a genocidal fascist state.

Two years ago I bought beats after my headphones died and these damn things don't work if the weather is below zero. Which has been most of January here in Berlin. What a waste of money.

The special kind of excitement when you finally figure out a character arch. Miss M, I can't wait to break you and piece you back together ✨️

Back at the end of November, after a healthy break away from my manuscript, querying seemed like a great idea.
Little did I know that with winter holidays everyone on my list would just go silent. I was prepared for a lot of rejection, but I was not prepared for silence 😳 #amquerying

"This year I will prioritise my health and wellbeing" and then half of Berlin is out of electricity and you are forced to eat McDonald's because that's the only thing open when you're back from holidays.

Yeah that would be too much work ahah. But I want to start writing down reviews in a notebook, just to have more space to reflect.😊

Ohh curious! I'm considering leaving goodreads, but still need some sort of a database where I could look up blurbs and save things I want to read πŸ‘€

This year is wrapping up with its share of disappointments, but ordinary people who continue to support Ukraine and do what they can to help Ukraine win have been and remain a genuine source of strength and faith in good.
Thank you so much, and have a good, safe new year πŸ₯‚

In times like these, on holidays, its especially hard to look at pictures of my native Zaporizhzhia. Yes, there were reason I have left, and I will never live there again, but god do I miss feeling at home.

Great read, thank you for sharingπŸ™πŸΌ a good reminder that everything is a matter of perspective. Its hard to remember focus on things that matter (reaching people that will fall in love with your story as much as you do) when you're pulling your hair out about why dont you get rep 😬

I want to make a cat postcard to test the new inks, but when I think about the design my thoughts stray away to Maria Prymachenko works. Inarguably the best cat-like creatures

The tricky part of getting into working out is that weird time when you just started to build a routine and then - oops - you have a tattoo appointment scheduled.
