Pro tip: don’t go to a concert with someone who is a die-hard fan of the band you’re seeing, and whose clapping height also happens to be your face height. Just took the beating of a lifetime at a Pet Shop Boys show, in an endearing, yet painful way.

@schwaka yep. Hab vor Jahren mal seine Biographie Hass-gelesen und nicht mal sein Buddy Ashley Vance konnte ihn als kompetent oder besonders innovativ verkaufen, weil er ständig klaut.

I read a book again, at last! For someone who does this for a living, I seem to be doing awfully little reading at the moment. “How High We Go In The Dark” was absolutely spectacular, if incredibly dark at the same time, all while being hopeful and bright as well.

Follows interlinked stories over a period of 100 years set in a dystopian future – a study on the overwhelm of existing in a dying world. Hard recommend.

It’s so funny to me how everyone raves about #ADHD meds helping them stay on track. I get sidetracked just as often as before, but I’m not getting frustrated about it and can embrace the chaos. I might look like a confused robot vacuum bouncing around the apartment, but at least the apartment gets cleaned (eventually).

@daniel I love the term ‘semantic satiation’. That’s all. That’s the toot. I will never reach semantic satiation on semantic satiation.
