New T-Shirt day!

I just watched a very interesting Arte Tracks episode on why we all are reading less, why it is a good idea to change that again, and how some people approach this challenge with reading parties.

Makes me even more happy to read more again, now that I have my ereader always with me.

Long time OctoPrint contributor and friend Jacopo wrote about his experience contributing to OctoPrint & I just have to share this!

Really love his conclusion!

> Working on OctoPrint has shown me sides of open source I never could have imagined when I first got involved: how much invisible work goes into keeping a project alive, how much care an ecosystem of third-party plugins needs to stay healthy, and how much everything ultimately depends on the people behind it.

As I'm still fighting off the first cold of the season 🤧 I've decided to open the tea season, even if the temperature out there is still above 20 degrees most afternoons...

And what better mug to start with than this one 😊

Still making my way through Dungeon Crawler Carl (now on book 4) and I can't help but feel it and nod along whenever he goes "You will not break me"

Fuck... I have no clue how I managed to do it, but it looks like I lost my CCCamp23 zipper hoodie somewhere between the car and my flat or maybe somewhere in my flat on/since Sunday. I've looked everywhere. I have no clue where it could be.

I really hope it'll show up at some point because I have some memories attached to it...

Lovely prompts for #Cosytober2026 ... but given how this year has so far been for me, I'm going with my gut feeling and not doing a month long art challenge. Self care and all.

But I love the prompts, so maybe I'll do some single pixelart drawings here and there based on them, if I feel like it 😊

Note to self: regardless of the venue, indoor or outdoor, next time I go to a gig, I should take my sunglasses with me, not just my earplugs.

JFC, those lights at the Spiritbox gig tonight are something else 😵‍💫 At least during the support acts.

Late to the party, but after seeing recommendations left and right I started #reading Matt Dinniman's "Dungeon Crawler Carl" on Sunday. Now already a third into book 2 after finishing book 1 yesterday 😅

Good grief, that is a TON of fun! 😊

Previously I binged through the Threshold series by Peter Clines, "14", "The Fold", "Dead Moon" and "Terminus". That was a ton of fun too!

Despite sleeping like crap currently, I dragged myself to the #bouldering gym this morning, as I had a way too long break already *again*. This year is a lot so far...

Anyway. Strength could have been better, but that will come back. The most important thing is that I went and that I climbed.

And another item crossed off my bucket list, giving the statue of a childhood hero a hug!

(If you dont know who I'm hugging there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Sendung_mit_der_Maus)

Was able to cross "see Alice Cooper live" off my bucket list last night 👍
