About me
Hi! I'm Nona, she/her, in my twenties.
You will find all kinds of nonsense (re-)blogging here, most recently about Ice Hockey. Have fun!
Things I made: - collection of friendship bracelet trades between German (and German-adjacent) hockey teams - Primer for my favorite Hockey team Season 2023/24 - and season 2024/25 - my writings - Advent Calendar 2024 - Advent Calendar 2025
speechless. the pose. the expression. this should be a painting.
i'm no good at painting sorry. i have excessive line work instead
i like it when people compliment me. i like it... when people like me. (looks around to make sure nobody is about to shoot me)

Can you remember the 90s?
Yes
No
As in, do any of your memories take place during the 90s (yes, a single memory from 1999 counts).
I can remember about half of them. My earliest memory was probably 1995 and they go from there.
i don't care what those tiktok and instagram influencers tell you, have three meals a day!!! have a snack!! have that sweet treat!! have food that makes you feel good!!! especially if you're a woman!! starving yourself to look "desirable" will only make you desirable to people who want you to stay malnourished forever. it's a cycle of misery!!

All I can think abt is that one quote that basically just describes that you can’t be your true self in your native language bc there’s too much emotional attachment, but that second languages allow speakers to be truly free with their words
“Some things could only be written in a foreign language; they are not lost in translation, but conceived by it. Foreign verbs of motion could be the only ways of transporting the ashes of familial memory. After all, a foreign language is like art—an alternative reality, a potential world. »
- Svetlana Boym, “Estrangement as a Lifestyle: Shklovsky and Brodsky”
“Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. (…) But, it first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.”
- Love in Translation by Lauren Collins from the New Yorker, August 8 & 15, 2016
when ilya kaminski said in an interview “even the shape of my face changed when i began to live inside the english language”
If we put aside the idea of a “true self,” because that is a discussion in its own right, from my reading and research few exophonic writers ever speak about freedom of expression in such terms… what the other language provides is detachment. And by detaching oneself from their writing (from the emotional background of chosen words, their socio-historical significance, familial usage etc), what these writers report is another point of view, a newfound clarity. Which isn’t limited to learning/using another language, it can be achieved through any sort of displacement. But it is no wonder these often come together, the new language and displacement, in whichever order that may be. In many cases the othe
I have pages and pages of research on this but another thing to consider
“Which language we choose to convey our experience shows how we position ourselves and to whom we explain ourselves: Do we choose to enter a dialogue with our new culture or to the ones we left behind in our native country?”

Imagine all the things I could do if I just did them.
