#bookstodon I've just finished The Dead Zone by Stephen King. If I didn’t know it was written in 1979, I'd think it is an allegory of today's US politics, especially #Trump and #MAGA.

Just finished We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons for Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption by Kaira Jewel Lingo (2021).

Simple and pleasant reading, and I believe it was written from the heart. However, it wasn’t quite my cup of tea. To me it felt a bit bland, and I didn’t really learn anything entirely new.

My son got his flu vaccine yesterday. It was a nasal spray, so there was no pain at all, and it was actually quite fun for him. And we even managed to get to nursery afterwards.

It cost around €30, and part of it will be covered by our insurance.

Out of nowhere, I suddenly figured out my old password to my #Twitter / #X account, logged in and... deleted the account.

1. Strong homemade ginger syrup as protection against the autumn weather,

2. After quite a while, I finally had some time to work on my research paper,

3. The halloween pumpkin is almost ready; our older kid helped with that.

It’s probably time for my re-introduction. #Introduction #Introductions

I’m 35, a married dad with two small kids. We live in Europe. I work at a university as an academic.

I love reading, mostly #fantasy and #scifi novels, but I also enjoy the classics. My family and I like to go #geocaching and spend time in nature. I love #coffee.

Unfortunately, I have a problem with alcohol, and I'm trying to overcome it.
