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.

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

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…

My WordPress plugins

Oh, it’s blogging meme time! After the default apps one, and still through Tracy, I found that people are sharing their WordPress plugin list. ActivityPub allows people to follow the blog from Mastodon. I don’t think anyone does this. I’m not sure this is really useful in any way. But the fundamental values that lead…
