My goals for 2026 - both art and relationship-wise. Inspired af.

This year's resolutions (for 2026) - mending and tending. And checking social media once a week, I fell off totally.

The geology guy from Disney's Atlantis flashback here, you're so right, somebody, do science to it.

... I didn't know you had to be both cruel and crude to call yourself a feminist. I thought only some types of Pokemons spew literal venom, but what do I know, I just oppose people dying from hunger and bombing civilians.

My thoughts exactly. And Cymraeg too, they deserve their turn as the dominant culture.

XD They should relaunch the whole franchise, and in the meantime Scots or Frisian for those who have to do west-Germanic.

I HAVE NOW RESTORED THE ROMAN EMPIRE. THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL CEASEFIRE IN ITALY THERE IS NO WAR WITH THE GOTHS AND THERE IS UNIVERSAL PROSPERITY, ANYBODY SPREADING RUMOURS ABOUT A plague IS WRONG, THER IS ALSO NO HERESY ANYMORE ALL IS ORTHODOX

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, YOUR EMPEROR

This is a recurring theme with you. Sending all the love and support against the evil tenses. 💙

@wmblathers.bsky.social I've just got an email from the podcast about the episode with you. So nice to see. And a subject I'm very interested in exploring!
I'm gonna listen to is as soon as I close this semester at the uni.

Hope June is treating you well/

A page from the journal written in a writing system based on the game Tunic

Its apparently quite hard to find a journal with hexagon pages so I had to make my own to help me write in my own script.

Cillian Murphy screaming in Peaky Blinders: 'i fucking hate your fucking gen ai shite JUST USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN'

Big hugs to one of my besties who fights hyper vigilance and despair from generational trauma - tense situations on the world stage hit them hard.

Btw, a real life situation reminded me, so I'll remind you:

Yet again the world sounds crazy.

Your fear is valid.
But your everyday life is valid too.
Take care of yourself, check in with your people, choose to do sth that matters to you.

We'll persevere and build sth better - don't despair

And it makes me wanna write more original commentary, but... I'm ill, the academic term is closing (must grade tests) and I should write the damn doctoral proposal.
So we'll see.
For now I'm writing down ideas to explore about being a femme presenting genderfluid fat person, but it's hars as hell.

The moment someone whose critical thinking you respect follows you back. This is the second time it happened here, on bluesky, and third in general, including birdapp mutual that migrated here (hi Bjørn!)
I'm grateful this app is better for fostering dialogue and community.

I hope so, I teach it to bachelor level students (C1 level) and hope to get into doctoral studies for translation Polish - English. :)
Been learning English for 30 years now, since I was 4.

Sorry to ramble, so rarely can I speak respectfully with a non-Polish person about the way our historic tragedy is represented and misused in the West.
Thank you for this conversation.

And as such I must learn their perspectives through English lens and English selection of approaches they deem worthy of publishing. The same goes with WW2 in Poland - we have our own way to name things (bonus point - the term genocide was coined by a Polish person) and our own narratives.

Especially when a big issue concerns the world, but the place it's from is not using a high status language. Probably any African country has its own proper tradition in colonialism research that won't be available to me, as I don't have access to in culture text there/

Thanks for the info, I am aware that English may have different traditions regarding the academic usage of the term than Polish, this a big point when it comes to working with sources in multiple languages - you realise there are individual approaches to subjects/...

You too. And I wish for a robust and thriving community to surround you. (I worry about you guys on the American continent).

We'll work on healthy communities and preventing those atrocities from happening again.

You're using holocaust as a synonym for genocide here, right? Just making sure.

But yeah, it's like holocaust is the only genocide people will acknowledge as true, forgetting Armenia, Americas, Namibia, the potato famine and so on (I'm up on them up to ww2, still reading up on modern cases)

When most towns and cities have mass graves from WW2, both Jewish and Polish, you think twice before you talk. The elders and peers will tear you a new one for talking BS about genocide your people and neighbours were subjected to.

My point was we here are used to the term expert being sth thay a scholar of history would use, not a rando. Only antisemites here disrespect the Holocaust here, because a lot of people have family who died in the camps, regardless of nationality or religion.

As a Polish person hearing term holocaust expert sounds like a) there should be an academic title and an anniversary involved in the discussion b) collective generational trauma is involved. So seeing it as a propaganda strategy is just depressing ngl.

So happy your brain is braining right now. Mine doesn't want to, but I'm working on it. My goal is 12 books, 1 done, 4 in progress.

Have our own back-- even when you f*ck up.

Be on your own side-- even if you don't love the last choice you made.

Be honest & compassionate & realistic & patient w/ yourself-- even (especially!) when trauma conditioning is trying to trick or coerce you into punishing yourself.

I wish you no side effects and high efficiency of the medication. And for their price to stay the same or to be lowered.
