Content warning: Brief mentions of disordered eating habits. Whenever I am deeply and actively involved in my passion topic (data protection law), I don’t care about the superficial stuff anymore. Writing, researching, talking to others about it, attending events just completely takes me out of the usual thought...
'Freaks' is used affectionately here to describe all kinds of creatives, weirdos, misfits, outcasts, alternative individuals, leftists, queers, furries and all that in a loving way.

During my decoupling from almost all online services and apps I had (2016-2018), I was prone to looking at the people around me with concern and judgment about their digital consumption.

The point where all of your personal goals and dreams have been shattered, developing a new identity is gatekept by your abilities and your caregivers, and your purpose seems to just be existing as a reminder to...
You've slain me. On your quest to rise up the Bearblog Trending mountain, you had to go past me. As your final hit rains down on me and my HP bar depletes, my body pulsates on the floor and slowly evaporates. What I leave behind are the following items: ☁️☁️☁️ Matcha Drink Powdered green tea beverage with a nutty,...
Small update! I am halfway through my really full weeks :) I was at my first data protection law conference last week. Even with the reduced entry fee, it is still too expensive in my opinion... but I still loved that I signed up and participated. Lots of new stuff learned; pages upon pages of notes in my notebook,...
