using the strength of Ritalin to defeat the spreadsheets of doom!

I'm still waiting for mine, it's very hard to get in Austria atm :(

can't wait, already preordered!

Enjoy! I just got back to Vienna from an Austrian lake. Hope you’re having a great time!

Austrian German (dialect): “Oida?” - translates to “old person” but we use it to express surprise, anger, exasperation and most other emotions. Can be used as a question, statement or exclamation.

Had a serious health scare this year and one of the first things my husband said was "We'll do this together, no matter what happens", and that's exactly what happened. I'm one of the lucky ones.

As an Austrian, I'm looking forward to the party next year. Last time we hosted, Vienna was a rainbow and it was wonderful. I wouldn't have been mad with Estonia winning though, it was so silly and fun.

Woke up from surgery and told the whole team that they were very nice and one nurse in particular was the bestest. I was a bit high, yes, but also: they were all lovely!

That sucks, I'm so sorry!

Well, no cuddling hippos then.

thank you for sharing, this brightened my day.
But 2% bodyfat is wild!!! I did not expect that

Vienna: Schönbrunn of course, national library, take an aimless walk through the first district and choose a small cafe in a side street.
It’s very nice here, summer can be a bit sticky and full though

Thanks a lot, I just got out of a period of intense insomnia, I guess it’s nightmares now 🫠

Went for a walk and met this little friend 😍

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

these new covers are fantastic!

My bluesky is mainly curated to "good news about books and authors I like" and it's giving me so much joy in this very weird and uncertain world at the moment.

I'm already making space on my shelf!

Please tell me you're writing Icelandic folk horror 🤞

Yaaay can’t wait!!

Okay, we went from Youtube showing me ads about pregnancy tests to ads about menopause supplements. Youtube ads have no chill.

I’ve been struggling with intense insomnia for the last couple of weeks and am not allowed to take naps anymore. I’m furious to report that it worked.

If you need a big heap of hope right now, this podcast might be for you. It imagines the future by focusing on positive change and community. I found it incredibly healing and it changed my perspective on what's to come.

It's Iced Caramel Latte season and the outside temperature can't convince me otherwise!

I loved the previous series so much, I'm sure it's going to be a worthy successor! Thank you for all the entertainment!

Turns out I just need to shout into the void. After I sent the above I received an email that my book will be delivered today! Expect more shouting in the future.

When you can't enjoy the book you are currently reading because you're waiting for @richardswanauthor.bsky.social 's new release and it's STILL NOT HERE!! 😭

It remains one of my favourite books of all time. The others in the series are also great.

It's on its way and will arrive here in time for a weekend binge!

This is a thing?? OMG 😱
