Writer, linguist (Swedish and German) and apparent podcast enthusiast. Trying — and succeeding (!) — to read more and post less 📚 She/her, 27
Really grateful to have my #FocusFriend Eda to help me stay off my phone (by me helping her stay off hers) right now. I definitely need it, with all of the reading and writing I need to do for various uni courses, for my part-time job, and as a part of the job searching process.

I know we probably should be wary of the increasing gamification of our hobbies, but watching numbers go up sure helps my motivation! I’ve been trying to fight off reading slumps since high school and #StoryGraph is helping. And as a bonus I’m reading so many good books and feeling way happier! 📚💙

In other news, after having bought it years ago, I’m finally reading ”The Milky Way — An Autobiography Of Our Galaxy” by @goastromo.bsky.social and it’s really interesting, surprisingly funny, and well-written enough that even someone with a cold and a light fever can follow along 🌌

Happy Walpurgis! 🌸 This is the busiest holiday for Swedish students/young people, but during my few hours of downtime, I’ve taken a nap and am now listening to the lastest episode of @wowiftrue.bsky.social while drinking coffee from A Very Unrelated Mug in preparation for tonight’s festivities 🔥

I always love listening to @lateralcast.com, but especially when I know the answer or figure it out before the guests. This one, I knew from having read the article once for a course on linguistic differences, but hearing them figure it out was so much fun!

More Swedish thoughts on Deep End: Yes, we do have a king. No, our flag is not ”baby blue”. It’s like middle to light blue.

Also, I promise you that we don’t walk around barefoot, except maybe on the beach. It’s only this weird fictional swimmer guy.

”It is revolting, it is depraved, it haunts my waking mind. And when a friend, and someone you love and care about, is doing something that frightens you and gives you pause, you cannot let them do it alone. IT’S BANANA LOCA TIME BABY!!”

Brennan, we love you! #P4A2025 #ProjectForAwesome

Honk Jr co-hosting the #ProjectForAwesome might have been the cutest thing to happen on the stream so far ☺️ #P4A2025

I know I’m a little behind on the stream, but I just need to point out the hilarious 👌 hand gesture that came up when Hank said ”And nothing to do with Ricky Martin!” #P4A2025

Omg, västerbottenost mentioned! 🇸🇪 It’s not from my region, but so tasty. My mum usually makes a pie with it for the holiday smörgåsbord. #P4A2025 #SciShowTangents

Sweden has been hit by a snowstorm so bad that I just got a public alert asking people not to go outside. Luckily, I’m home enjoying some homemade pizza, a drink and a charity livestream. #P4A2025

Roll for loca! I’m catching up on the steam and the guests’ reaction to Hank using the banana loca is such a highlight every year 😂 #P4A2025

Company: When your contract runs out in 15 workdays, we won’t renew it. Good luck finding a new job in that time, lol. But we have to do what’s best for us.

Me: What’s best for me is using the 7 days of PTO I’m owed before I leave.
