Hi fellow person that moved to the Netherlands!! I love your website. I think you might enjoy reading Babel from R.F Kuang seeing the other books in your library and your interest in language!

@katbots what are the chances!! I'm still looking for a job, I graduated before this summer- my partner lives in a small town in Noord Holland so there aren't that many opportunities (and I have to deal with some paperwork and health insurance stuff beforehand I think). Babel is so good, Poppy War was very interesting, but at times very tough to get through, and overall enthralled me a bit less, still a good read tho

ooh ouch yeah I imagine jobs can be hard to find if you're not in a city! I have put off having to think about jobs by doing a masters (ᵕ-ᴗ-) ah good luck with Dutch bureaucracy, I hope it goes smoothly! yeah I read poppy wars and enjoyed it, but never picked up the sequel, for no particular reason.I'll be happy if Babel is a smoother/more engrossing read!

also if you're even down in Ams with a free afternoon sometime, let me know if you'd like to go for a coffee!!

@katbots yeah if I really can't find a good Biology job within a year or so, I'll go for a Masters, but I'm so burnt out from academia I don't want to consider it yet. I live like 30min on the train from Ams so absolutely I would love to! Rn I'm back in Spain for some doc appointments but I'm hoping to be back in the Netherlands by the end of October, I'll let you know!

I am interested 👀 I played one other solo ttrpg before, Apawthecaria, and really enjoyed it (it is SO cute). Koriko has been on my radar for some time!

was dumped last week (after 8 years! wow!) and classes are starting up so will probably be quiet here for a little while. BUT if anyone has poems/ book reccomendations that vibe with a "this is the worst but it's for the best" break up, I would be grateful for suggestions! Wanna read some words that crack me open and soothe me.

as for poetry recs: "Modern Love" (John Keats); "the smell" (Emelihter Kihleng); "A Pity, We Were Such a Good Invention" (Yehuda Amichai); and "The Glass Essay" (Anne Carson). last one's a long one, good for sipping canto by canto, stanza by stanza.

Thank you for following ! I'm also reading the Realm of the Elderlings books (Royal Assassin, right now) ! I love Fitz my god, silly silly Fitz. But to be fair Verity has me in his grip, I'm so scared for this man's life !

Thank you! I love the entire vibe of your site, it's so cozy :D Ahh enjoy!! You have so much fun and grief ahead of you. Genuinely so excited for you though!! You're coming up on a roadtrip soon which is one of the greatest adventures in the book so far for shenanigans..! Ah I love Verity, and him and Fitz' relationship sooo much.

Thank you !! I finished Royal Assassin two days ago, I don't have words for what happened. I need a few days before I can start the last book of the trilogy (and then all the other books) it was... my god ! I'm very excited too :)

Had a dream that my website was autoplaying the opening of some song and I couldn't figure out how to stop it (╥﹏╥) i think dreaming about coding frustrations is a first for me honestly

new art in the gallery! including easy keeper by emily palmquist which ohhhh if only I had 7 grand to spend on art right now...
I love the gallery!! You have wonderful taste
have also added a science section, which might be interesting to some people?? But mostly it's for fun. You can take the girl out of the science outreach programme...
*looks at lab* *stares at current work lab* well lolol this isnt weird
the science section is very much interesting to me and i will be browsing it expeditiously!!
the zoology section is probably the most interesting, if only because you'll get to see the phrase "penis-jousting" at least once
AMAZING!!!!!!! love this sm
talkin bout ur lab page* !!
