I’m on a 200 day learning streak on Duolingo!

200 days since getting back on Duolingo, learning Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Music and Math ✨

Are you on Duolingo? What are you learning?

I feel attacked but also understood simultaneously

I think Bluesky is a great platform and I’m here to stay. However, a bookmark function would make the experience SO much better and much more functional for research/ information gathering, especially for reporters. Pretty please @support.bsky.team @bsky.app ?

Always open to book recommendations! Please share your faves ☺️

Managed to read 31 books in 2024, maybe this year I’ll try for 40 📚

And if you’re still only using Goodreads 👀 I promise you it’s a far better user experience, check it out for yourself (you can easily import your data)

Glad I got a chance to enjoy the snow this week in #RVA, been waiting for a decent snow storm since moving here a few years ago! ☃️ 🥳 Perhaps the snow drought is ending? 🙏 ( not getting my hopes up )
