A Short Leap
Over the past months, I have realized that the leap from estrangement to revulsion is very short.
Witch Hunts in the 21st Century
Denmark may have stopped burning witches a few hundred years ago. However, witch-hunting still appears to be a recreational activity for misogynist men and the weak and stupid women who stand by them.
Dark Academia & The Fall
I love stories & the fall. And not even a private primary school in the 1980s, an almost Marxist high school in the 1990s, nor Comparative Literature studies at an über leftish university in Denmark managed to ruin my love for books, stories, and voices – nor my liberal beliefs and outlook on life. It often felt as if they tried, though.
Don’t Give Me Numbers!
I know it is paw-sible to love a human with all your heart. But I would take a dog over a human any day. Dogs are people, too, and in my opinion, they are much better people than humans. They have bigger hearts, and, unlike most people, they are 100 % loyal.
My Never-Ending Apartment Story, Part 4
On Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022, after two years and eight months, I got the rest of my deposit back from my Parisian landlord of 2019.

My Never-Ending Apartment Story Part 3
I thought renting an apartment via a huge and long-established rental agency would be the financially safest when I went to Paris in 2019. I was wrong. It is now two years and seven months since I moved out of an apartment in Paris, and I still don’t have the money the court declared in January 2022 that I was owed.
My Never-Ending Apartment Story Part 2
I was delighted when I got the French court's Aye that my former landlord should pay me the rest of my deposit with two years of interest. After two years of paperwork, courts, and significant expenses, it was a happy ending to a awful apartment situation in Paris. Or so I thought.
My Never-Ending Apartment Story Part 1
In life, you lose nonstop – youth, looks, money, friends, illusions. But sometimes, you win in court. And so, after two years of paperwork and courtrooms, on January 28, 2022, a French court ordered my former 2019 Paris landlord to return my full security deposit, plus two years’ interest.
