The biggest reason why I like him so much is because of my obsession with the Blåhaj.
Also one cool thing I know is when the babies are born they are called pups and that is just the cutest thing I've ever heard. (Also they are like 1.2-1.5m in length when they are babies so they are huge already which I kinda don't understand how they get born in that size.
But other than that I virtually know nothing about them.

I look already pretty feminine I guess so most people just perceive me as a thing that dresses feminine and then automatically use she / feminine pronouns as a default which is fine for me.
I am myself also don't really mind with the pronouns things. Aslong as it's not masculine everything is fine to me!!!
I change them for myself on a day to day basis because it feels right to use A for this day and use B for another day. So I can't expect from anyone to always use the "right" pronouns for myself if I don't even know what I want to use :) -

I hope everyone will be happy and if they want to be perceived they should !!!
To this day I still don't know what I exactly identify as. It feels like it chamges either how I feel depending on how my mood is. And that should be okai. I started the whole journey with only hormones to allign my body / mind to fit what I thought I was. After a year I started to take blockers aswell and now after two years I am mostly very happy with the changes. With my own identity I still don't know after 4 years what I identify as or what I want to be perceived rather. Sometimes I don't wish to be perceived at all because people can be scary.
I am still not sure what pronouns I feel comfortable using. One day I use They / It another I want no pronouns etc.
Which is okai.I think what kind of made me very happy to align myself with what I see myself with are some body mods: I got fangs and they are very goofy and very silly but i love them so much!!! (very off-topic and not relevant to this thread but they give me so mich euphoria just had to share)
But I just hope everyone is doing well. I hope everyone is safe!
It's a shit and cruel world sometimes. We got this. Everything sucks sometimes but it's okay. It will get better!Much love to all of you amazing people

These are clear speculations about the symbols of what they meant to a greater society and what the differences in how we grew up and how we perceive the world.
And if you look at the text that way especially also the symbolism in art it is quite modern and I wouldn't call it outdated.
Also I don't know but Psychology isn't like math. It's not a straight forward science where 2+2 always equals 4. We still don't know so much stuff about our brain and how it operates.
I recently got diagnosed for adhd and they tested my brainwaves. Like yes they can assume what it means but they will never be a 100% sure.

An interesting book to read on dreams and symbolism is definitly Man and his Symbols from Carl G. Jung.
In the end we never know but if you get to know a person (also yourself) you can try to make educated guesses. Because even though we are all humans we all grew up differently and we all have lived differently through our lives (with traumas, experiences and so on). So it's really difficult to pick one dream and analyze it and point exactly to one definition of the dream.
All the examples from the book Carl Jung always makes clear that he doesn't know and is only trying to guess and also explains why now a horse means a specific thing in one case. But these patients he analyzes there are always multiple dreams he looks at and attempts to explain what this person feels and, by extension, what the dream could mean.
I find this topic really fascinating, and I originally read up on it due to me having just horrible dreams. I must also say Carl Jung's books are really challenging to read, for me at least, since I haven't studied psychology and I am "only" interested in the topic.

I went to a sports school and was in regional selection and all that stuff.We are talking 3-4 times a week training plus every weekend there was a match during the saison.
My mom still sees it as a wasted potential that I stopped playing icehockey and I could just start playing again and it would potentially fix everything.

Tarkov is a PVE / PVP Extraction Shooter. You can either play it in PVE or in PVP mode. I play exclusively PVP. Since I have a lot of experience it doesn't feel as rewarding to me if I would play it in PVE.I have way too many hours in this game already (over 10k). But it is still my somewhat comfort game. It has so many issues. With cheaters, server issues, game simply not working and hit reg issues and just idk everything.
Currently I have done around a thousand raids and I have reached Kappa which is basically when you finish all the side quests.
Also since the 1.0 update (15.11 -- when the game wiped). Tarkov has now a main story quest. It is not that impressive honestly. They could have done a lot more with the story quest. Like this game has so much potential but that's Tarkov for ya.But I also finished one of the four endings. They created Terminal to "escape" Tarkov. Terminal is a cool experience. It is basically only PVE. You have to fight through different sorts of AI to get to a Boat and finish Tarkov. I really liked Terminal. But even then it has it's problems. You can only "escape" alone. It can happen that you spawn in with random people (they will try to kill you). Luckily that never happened to me but as you can see the base idea is good, great! But just everything around is not thought through it. It's like 90% effort and then they just ran out of time and just released it.
Basically the first person on Terminal got a broken leg and there were meds but no splints. So it just feels like the dev's don't playtest their own game and it's always up to the player to test the game and the new mechanics / features which kinda suck in my opinion.I am currently 1 level away from Prestige. Prestige is where you basically reset your whole account and do it all over again.
I hate this game but I also love it so much. It just feels there is nothing comparable to it. I used to stream this game regularly 2 years ago. And to me this game is just a comfort game. With lots and lots of nostalgia behind it. Lots of friends I met playing this game. Some of them don't play this game anymore. Actually, most of the people I know quit this game. Because every wipe and every big major update is the same shit all over again. I really understand those people.
To anyone who wants to try out the game.
- It is very frustrating!
- Game sucks
- Game does not work
- but can be very fun if you spend too much time on the game ˙ᵕ˙ --> the game is a social experiment to see how much people like to torture themselves ˙ᵕ˙
~ Happy new year ₍⑅ᐢ..ᐢ₎

It can also be super fun to paint on clothes and stuff. There are some mixers which you can mix the paint and the clothing medium mix thingie seperatly(I am not sure it's called a medium or a mixer). Which makes the whole paint a lot cheaper compared to buying paint specifically only for clothing.

Comment on Books: Your personal year in review for 2025 in ~books

Not all books were super super long so I kind of cheated but that's okay. I think my goal for the upcoming year is to read more than 12 books I suppose. I don't know yet if I can concentrate on reading when I am in my final year of studies and that whole stress but I am looking forward to it.
Book Name Author Genre When Finished On Photography Susan Sontag Photography / Crtitcism February Man and His Symbols Carl G. Jung Psychology February Under the Sign of Saturn Susan Sontag Criticism March The Stranger Albert Camus Novella March Disappoint Me Nicalo Dinan Fiction March Eyes Guts Throat Bones Moïra Fowley Short Stories April Camera Lucida Roland Barthes Philosophy April Regarding The Pain Of Others Susan Sontag Photography / Crtitcism May Ob mit Dolch, Feile oder Revolver Luigi Lucheni Politik / Anarchie May Carmilla J. Sharidan Le Fanu Novella May The Art of Cruelty Maggie Nelson Art Criticism August Fahrenheit 451 Ray Bradbury Dystopian October My favorite books were definitely the 3 books from Susan Sontag. All her views about photography and art are very interesting to me. Also since I study photography it's all very relevant to me. And I think all her views have aged very very well. And we are still struggling with the same questions she tries to answer in the books.
The Art of Cruelty I also really enjoyed. I have been rereading parts of it since I would like to continue to further plan my own performance art and also just learn more about them. I have visited Marina Abramović's exhibition in Zurich last year and I was so deeply moved and impressed by the whole thing.
Man and His Symbols was the hardest book for me to read. Jung's writing style is so complex and very difficult. I read it in english and I am not a native speaker. I was originally interested in the book because he is also from Switzerland and I really liked his approach and his methods how he looked at dreams and analyzed different people and their symbols. I had at the time terrible dreams or still have and I, personally, think it helped me a lot to look at my own dreams and just see them in a different view. It took a long time to get through this book. I am obviously not the intended target reader. I am not studying psychology or anything. So this was the first book that I read that was like this.
My biggest let down was Disappoint Me from Nicalo Dinan. It's not a bad book per se but at the time I remembered that I seemed to be a bit disappointed in the book. It was just kind of flat and obvious? The story is about a trans person and if I remember right the author is also trans. So it covers a lot of trans issues which I, personally, enjoyed since I, myself am also trans. But I think other people could really enjoy the book. It was just not what I was looking for.
I think for next year my goal is to get into Russian literature. I already ordered White Nights from Dostoevsky so I am looking forward to reading it. And just in general I want to read more of Carl G. Jung. Even though his books are very complex I still enjoyed them a lot and they taught me a lot about myself.

I don't know if working on my silly website counts as programming but yea that's what I have been doing.
Recently I finally made it whenever I push my github page it automatically updates it on nekoweb which is really really nice.
I also edited the sidebar to look like an old win xp or win98 window which I really like.
(Reminds me to make a resources webpage)
I also want to change the starting page to have more stuff and that it's not so empty but i am not entirely sure what to fill it with.
Also buttons and graphics stuff:
I need mooore.
I also am currently making a few buttons and have recently finished the banner which is on the sidebar. I generally would like to fill it more with more drawings / illustrations etc...
Today I just also finished a button but I haven't uploaded it yet.
Also in terms of more I have been thinking of creating my own webring and also joining a few. Simce I am really interested in photography I think it would be fun to create a webring for that!
Anyways I think that is all -- there is always so much to do and I think I should also more consistently write on my blog and make it like either a weekly or monthly recap thing. But we will see
If you have any feedback, criticism, questions or just anything I am always happy to talk about "shitty websites" (not in a bad way! --> indie web for the win !!!)
