PhD linguist, serial migrant and curious mind ✨ Currently docked in Bärlin 🐻

I doodle big-headed cartoons in my spare time and toot mostly in EN, ES and DE about languages, cross-cultural mishaps, life abroad and whatever keeps me awake at night. 💭

This is an inclusive space.
Make yourself at home! ☕️

When I take over the world, people who treat public transportation as their living room will be the first to be reeducated: they’ll be trapped listening to unwanted TikToks at full volume on loop, surrounded by passengers loudly chewing finger food, all while breathing in the ripe aftermath of sweaty shoes that strangers had left all over the place.

My home feed needs some love, please help me find Mastodonians to follow!

I'm looking for graphic humor, fun facts, interesting stories, comics, language puns, artsy stuff, wholesome content, and basically any account that looks at reality and laughs at its face. Any language is welcome.

Thanks in advance! 💕

If anyone is wondering why I went from publishing one comic per week to one comic per year, you can blame this new coping mechanism.

First try at embroidery. Who knew that unresolved issues could look this pretty. 😊

Targeted recruitment on LinkedIn is as off as my Pinterest ads for baby diapers.

I’m done browsing Pinterest for sewing ideas only to fall in love with AI-generated clothes that cannot exist in the real world. There's nothing like getting emotionally attached to a dress that the physics of fabrics refuse to support.

Everything is fun and games about international relationships until you realize that at least one of you is always going to be the foreigner, just in different places.

After all these years, I’ve found the key to true happiness: a good firm mattress. 🥲

I know I'm getting old and tired because I just saw a toot I completely disagreed with and immediately unfollowed the person and kept scrolling instead of getting into an argument.
