This is for the ones with abusive parents. Bad, abusive parents know a lot more about it than you’d think. We all know the saying “The axe forgets what the tree remembers.” And I’m sure for some stuff, that is true. But I’ve seen when...
Every now and then, Noyb (European Center for Digital Rights) highlights some of their volunteers for their GDPRhub project. Now I got my entry :) Check it out on Mastodon and LinkedIn. Fittingly, one of my translated and summarized...
I remember years ago, especially early on in the pandemic (2020/2021), I was still not diagnosed with my illnesses (Bechterew's disease and Crohn's disease). For a decade at least, I had dealt with a variety of symptoms, most of it...

In ‘small thoughts’ posts, I’m posting a collection of short thoughts and opinions that don’t warrant their own post. :) It's been a while! ☁️☁️☁️ I’m looking back and am so grateful for everything I got myself through. The times I was...
