Doing my part without showing it

Most of my social media presence has been on pause in 2024 − I’ll still do the occasional LinkedIn post and make liberal use of half a dozen messaging platforms (Beeper is my saviour), but it’s a far cry from my microinfluencer days on Twitter. Before deleting my account there in 2022, I had ~1500…

Récap de février 2024 / February 2024 in review

Plafond de l'hémicycle du palais d'Iéna.

February was just as intense as January, but thankfully shorter. I desperately need a break − which is pretty good, because I’ll be turning 30 on the 27th (woo!) and on holidays on the 28th of March. From March 31 to April 30, I’ll be touring Europe (going mostly through Northern Italy, Slovenia, Germany with…

Stagiaire café

Stagiaire café est un roman court d’Austin Chant que j’ai eu l’honneur de traduire en français. (Rendez-vous dans quelques mois pour la sortie de Peter Darling, un autre de ses romans que je suis en train de traduire !) Après son diplôme, Kieran s’attendait à démarrer une brillante carrière d’employé de fast-food, pas à décrocher…

January 2024 in review − Récap de janvier 2024

Montagne enneigée et ciel très très bleu.

January has been extremely overwhelming and given that I’m away from Feb 2nd to 13th, I’m not sure we’re heading towards calmer times. But I’m also not sure my body will give me a choice, so let’s hope things will calm down on their own, sooner than later. Also, I was selected to carry the…

My 2023 reading retrospective

Happy new year! After talking about my low-stakes accomplishments and the non-book media I consumed in 2023, it’s time to share my reading retrospective. It’s very fun on one hand, and absolutely terrible on the other: I hate having to whittle down the list to a mere top 24! From 2015 to 2020, I always…

media i enjoyed in 2023

movies: Singin’ in the Rain is my new favourite movie. Weird: the Al Yankovic story had me laughing to tears several times. Same for 9 to 5, with an extra crush on baby Jane Fonda. Marinette is an excellent biopic. Nimona, Glass Onion, Barbie, Birds of Prey, The Elementals and The Hunger Games: The Ballad…

Parité, sport de haut niveau, et Wikipédia

Une femme en combinaison grise et dossard blanc, avec un casque violet, descend à toute vitesse une piste de ski. Ses skis sont rouges et elle a l'air très compétente. Normal : c'est la championne Tessa Worley.

Si, comme moi, vous faites partie des 3 pélos qui utilisent l’habillage Timeless pour Wikipédia en français, vous pouvez utiliser Rock your sidebox de PAC2. Ce gadget permet entre autres de faire une requête en un clic pour connaître la représentation des genres dans les liens internes de l’article. Comme je suis en procédure de…

December 2023 in review / Récap de décembre 2023

A beautiful range of snowy mountains.

Happy new year! I am socially drained and not ready to go back to work, and yet here I am. I am also emotionally drained due to supporting the employees with the yearly Wikimedia France fundraising. I love my friends but they are chaotic and having sudden additions and removals to the list of people…

24 low-stakes accomplishments of 2023

Here are 24 low-stakes accomplishments from 2023. No big brags, no important stuff, just chill and happy times. (Bloggers, feel free to make your own! I got the idea from this Autostraddle post.) EDIT on January 1st: wow, I was living in the future − this was from 2023, not 2024! Got houseplants that are…

The eternal child at Christmas

I’m writing this article on my last day with a computer access before the new year, as part of Jo’s edition of the Indieweb Carnival themed « Holiday and December traditions ». Check out the other entries, they’re fun! My family and I celebrate Christmas and the New Year following the age-old rule: « Christmas…
