have also added a science section, which might be interesting to some people?? But mostly it's for fun. You can take the girl out of the science outreach programme...

the zoology section is probably the most interesting, if only because you'll get to see the phrase "penis-jousting" at least once

Hi fellow person that moved to the Netherlands!! I love your website. I think you might enjoy reading Babel from R.F Kuang seeing the other books in your library and your interest in language!

@katbots what are the chances!! I'm still looking for a job, I graduated before this summer- my partner lives in a small town in Noord Holland so there aren't that many opportunities (and I have to deal with some paperwork and health insurance stuff beforehand I think). Babel is so good, Poppy War was very interesting, but at times very tough to get through, and overall enthralled me a bit less, still a good read tho

ooh ouch yeah I imagine jobs can be hard to find if you're not in a city! I have put off having to think about jobs by doing a masters (ᵕ-ᴗ-) ah good luck with Dutch bureaucracy, I hope it goes smoothly! yeah I read poppy wars and enjoyed it, but never picked up the sequel, for no particular reason.I'll be happy if Babel is a smoother/more engrossing read!

@katbots yeah if I really can't find a good Biology job within a year or so, I'll go for a Masters, but I'm so burnt out from academia I don't want to consider it yet. I live like 30min on the train from Ams so absolutely I would love to! Rn I'm back in Spain for some doc appointments but I'm hoping to be back in the Netherlands by the end of October, I'll let you know!

I am interested 👀 I played one other solo ttrpg before, Apawthecaria, and really enjoyed it (it is SO cute). Koriko has been on my radar for some time!

was dumped last week (after 8 years! wow!) and classes are starting up so will probably be quiet here for a little while. BUT if anyone has poems/ book reccomendations that vibe with a "this is the worst but it's for the best" break up, I would be grateful for suggestions! Wanna read some words that crack me open and soothe me.

as for poetry recs: "Modern Love" (John Keats); "the smell" (Emelihter Kihleng); "A Pity, We Were Such a Good Invention" (Yehuda Amichai); and "The Glass Essay" (Anne Carson). last one's a long one, good for sipping canto by canto, stanza by stanza.
