I played Pokémon Go for the first time today! I can now, because I have a new phone. I needed a new phone so I could install the messenger my mom uses to send pictures from Bolivia (Signal), which didn't work on my old one.

Yesterday I went to the zoo again, because why not? I saw the seals being fed and the big male one jumping from a cliff multiple times, I had a fantastic view from the underwater window to see a polar bear dive and play with a truck tire (soo beautiful, and strong), I saw emus preening their feathers, and a presenting peacock running away from his ( Read more... )

I'm currently catching up on Doctor Who season 8. I saw 8x01 "Deep Breath" a while ago, and then "Into the Dalek," but I wasn't too impressed. In hindsight I think I was still disappointed by the 50th anniversary special.

I think one of the reasons why it's hard for me to write my bachelor thesis is because most times I'm not really enthusiastic about the subject anymore. Talking about it helps, but I don't like talking about it to people IRL because it makes me feel guilty about my slow progress. So I thought I could try talking about it here :) It's about women in ( Read more... )
