I’ve navigated the my part of Large Hadron Collider, major media, and big banking. Now, I build and write from Ukraine, exploring the intersection of AI strategy, resilient tech, and liminal aesthetics.
My cat is statistically smarter than you - I actually wrote a book (Her Own Dream) to prove it.

@Firlefanz I respect all kinds of relationships (and in books - even those that might be scary, as my own book proves), so thanks for the advice))

I’ve tried reading urban fantasy, but in my opinion, it’s very difficult to strike a balance there. That is, authors tend to focus more on "elves" than on the specific characteristics of a "Berlin".

Since the reader knows more about the city itself, there’s naturally more empathy that way))

@Firlefanz I don’t understand German very well (even though I was a graduate student in Germany, but they quickly sent me to Switzerland), so I apologize in advance for my imagination running wild - I pictured an interesting #subgenre of #fantasy where knights wielding swords and practicing magic also use cell phones.

But I liked it)))

Just because you know several languages (I’m fluent in Ukrainian, English, and russian) doesn’t mean you’ll want to talk to other native speakers of those languages

My wife is currently on a business trip far away in #Bayern and had a conversation there with a local cat (pictured), and the #cat responded to a Ukrainian greeting.

In what situations did the locals understand you when you spoke your own local language?

@NickSchwanck Harry is a lot like my other #cat, #Sheldon (he really loves the spot he considers his own), but I can't prove it because he's sleeping in the closet right now.

I sleep with the strangest creatures in the world.

Our #cat, Lamp (she got that name because she came to us from a shelter wearing a plastic collar), has a habit of sleeping like a caterpillar - stretched out.

Even in winter, when #Russia bombed the boiler room and steam was coming out of our mouths, Lamp slept that way, so we had to tuck her under the blanket on top of us.

Who do you sleep with?

Social #media is a freaking time trap unless you take control - all of them.

I’ve completely abandoned the #HomeFeed.
No more mix of noise. Instead, I’ve set up #MastoDeck as a monitoring station, focused entirely on curated lists that actually fuel me & my projects. Total autonomy and focus.

How do you filter out the noise?
What tools or workflows do you use to ensure your feed provides real value rather than just clutter?
Come on, feel the noise!

@AncTreat5358 @Michigander Han Solo expels the Mummy's spirit from Cleopatra.
@tehstu @Michigander It's a great time to listen to it and watch it again - thanks for the suggestion for tonight's movie.
@victor_tokarev навіть прибравши маніпулятивний тон статті зрозуміло що жіночку зжеруть.
Тре було тусити з хабардистами або мормонами.
Хоча її не шкода у будь якому фіналі.
@victor_tokarev Якщо щось руснявофільське хоча б лише навіть міноритарно відкривається десь за рогом то в цей момент повинна вмикатися бритва Оккама розміром з бензопилу якими билися трансформери.
Та це повинно робитися рефлекторно.
Та такий рефлекс у сучасності Тулсі й виробляє хоча навіть не підозрює як людина яка не має ані рефлексії ані розуму.
Імхо.
