And a couple of weeks back, we were told we're getting another measurement specialist from our mother company in Japan.
Sounds great, eh?

Only on Friday, I've received an echo that this person is not really supposed to help us out, he's supposed to teach us how to work /effectively/.

So yeah. 😞

Things are tough at work.

For a while now, my senpai and I had to manage work originally meant for three people in order for the company to save money.

Finally, the management realised how unsustainable this is and started to look for a third worker.

Ah yes, cats and autumn.
Our own pack is becoming rounder each week.😊

(Also, I haven't followed Suie updates for a while. Did she calm down by now?)

V Klementinu to dnes byla jízda. Samozřejmě nebylo možno fotit stěžejní exponáty. Je mi to líto, protože jde o úžasná umělecká díla. Ale konečně se trochu vyjasnila historie s různými opisy.

Vidět třeba origo Dalimilovu kroniku byl bizár. A pohádkář Hájek, to je tak nádherné zpracování! 💛

The land around Kherson is a unique corner of the Ukrainian South, filled with breathtaking views of diverse nature. The left bank of Kherson Oblast is still under russian occupation.

One day, it will again be free🧵

I wonder.
Would anyone read my original stories if I posted them on AO3?
(I have no idea where else to post 'em.)

Went through the folder of my old artworks (=15+yrs).

It's funny, how animesque, cringey, and /edgy/ they are, but then again, I admire my younger self for her bold use of colour, which I almost never do these days. 🤭

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Všichni si hráli v trávě (byla dost vysoká), a já jsem spolu s několika dalšími děvčaty trhala kytky, když v tom se najednou zvedl vítr a dveře Kapličky se dost prudce otevřely. Za nima nikdo nebyl, a vevnitř byla tma. Dost nás to vyděsilo.

A to je všechno.

Jen taková malá historka.

Dobře, ale není to moc strašidelné.

Buď ve školce nebo v první třídě jsme šli na výlet právě ke Kapličce. Tehdy ještě byla dost sešlá.

Tam jsme dostali rozchod.

400,000 Israelis took to the streets tonight to mark the last Saturday rally at Hostage Square in Tel Aviv.

When we say our people are one family, this is what we mean.

It's headcanon o'clock.

Baby Hux was taken from his home much too soon, so he has trouble grooming himself.
Rae keeps pointing this out w/o Armitage ever changing his routine, until she realises he ltrlly doesn't know any better.
And so she shows him.

The first time she combs his hair, he melts.

That said, I have to wonder about them pockets.🤔

Are they actually real, or just one of those frustrating illusionary pockets used so often in women's fashion?
I mean, as soon as you'd put literally anything inside, the contour would be ruined.

That is not a tree, that is a community. (Communitree?)💚💚

Moje máma kostel U Obrázku milovala.

Já ho mám spojený s trochu děsivým zážitkem, u kterého si nejsem jistá, jestli se stal opravdu, nebo jestli se mi jen zdál. (Stalo ((?)) se to víc jak třicet let zpátky.)

Without downloading anything, where are you mentally right now?

Me, after the opportunists from ANO won the Czech parliamentary elections and are about to bring SPD (far-right) into the government.

(This was a slow-burn. I basically went from 'hmm, what an odd name' to 'YES! *points*' within several weeks. W/o realising it.

Today, the news were about Lyman. I wondered out loud where Novoekonomichne is, and uncle was like, 'this is too up north. Novoekonomichne is south, near Pokrovsk'.)

Dust on Both Sides @dustcollector.bsky.social · 3d

Uncle and I watch news from 🇺🇦 frontlines every day, uncle especially, and we cheer at the ingenuity of Ukrainian weapons constructors, yes, but every time I see the name Novoekonomichne on the map, I'm like 'Yes! It's Novoekonomichne!'.
I unreasonably love the name.
I hope I'll get to visit one day.

You saw it in the theatre?!?
So envious!!!
That must've been quite an experience.

Yeah, I get the sentiment.
