  "textContent": "_**rose**_\n\n  * 5 year anniversary with my wife. :)\n  * Started a creation event for the Gazette.\n  * I created more art! I made some buttons and banners, and some pixel art for myself and with Xaya.\n  * I rebranded my professional website (not this one). Put a lot of effort into the colors, associations, text, font and all, with a proper brand kit development. That's a first.\n  * I had a healthier relationship with food recently.\n  * I managed to summarize and translate 1-2 court decisions each week for noyb.eu, and I became Silver Member (10+ translated/summarized court cases). 2 more and I will already be Gold Member (20+).\n  * I received a some helpful replies to e-mail inquiries for opportunities :)\n  * I was finally able to publish the first interview for my privacy professionals series!\n  * Friends visited and it wasn't just fun, but it also got me cleaning up the apartment so well.\n  * My wife is baking amazing bread recently. The first two to three attempts were a disappointing, but we kept at it and now our bread is sooooo good. She also baked me some matcha strawberry sugar cookies.\n\n\n\n_**bud**_\n\n  * My hair is long enough now to properly take care of it again with conditioner and oils. I can't wait until it grows long enough for a first haircut to kind of get it even and not so layered; I am also thinking of getting bangs? They always annoy me, but I think I can make it work this time...? I always think that... and at the same time, I also wanna grow it out again and bleach some money pieces. And I kinda wanna dye the underside of my hair, near my neck, too? I am conflicted.\n  * Still working on sending out e-mails for more interviews.\n  * Working on switching away from Discord! Probably Matrix. Already had an account there but it somehow got lost, so I made a new one. Now just working on transitioning some stuff.\n  * I've decluttered my closet, now I just need to sell the stuff.\n  * I'm planning a date day for myself where I get my nails done again (haven't done that in months), a lash lift, a visit to the cinema, and buying some clothing I need. I am in need of replacing some items and also diving deeper into a new personal style I want.\n\n\n\n_**thorn**_\n\n  * Reintroducing caffeine has been a bust. My tolerance seems to have been plummeting to zero thanks to my experiment, and even very weak black tea is having some negative effects... and even my matcha! I guess I'll have to reduce it to once a week.\n  * I haven't been studying nearly as much as I should. I've been indulging a lot in just resting, reading, and creating, which isn't super bad, but I feel guilty for neglecting my studies when I have 4 upcoming exams for modules totaling 30 ECTS as a part-time student. :(\n  * Job applications and apartment hunting paused for now. Right now seems like an absolutely terrible time for both.\n\n\n\n> Reply via email\n>  Published  28 Feb, 2026",
