Ebru (April)

Today I made the final payment on my student loan. After 7 years, I’m finally free. 🤭

Instead of finishing the main feature, I’ve been busy adding pan open/close images on hover in the FAQ section. - Is this overengineering? + Nooope. It’s just over-panning, lol 😄

Cooking something 🍜 I gave up trying to figure out what to eat today, so now I’m just building a solution instead 🏵️

The year 2045, and the tax war’s still going

I’ve gathered over 20 incredible ways people are using GPT-4o to create stunning visuals 🖼️ aitoolkit.co/blog/gpt-4o-...

The market crash looks so much nicer in ghibli, at least now I can watch it without crying 🥲

I really want to write a book someday, because I believe every story deserves to be heard.

Hi Bluesky people. I procrastinated on my dreams again today.

Journalists among more than 1,100 arrested in Turkey crackdown

After blocking access to numerous accounts belonging to Turkey’s pro-democracy opposition activists, @elonmusk’s X does this. As Turkey moves from competitive to full authoritarianism, @bianet_org is one of its precious few remaining smart, brave, independent journalism outlets.

I'm creating a vision board for the new year and wanted to make it more realistic this time 🙈

I tried this accent app and my strong Turkish accent just popped up 😃 start.boldvoice.com/accent-guesser

Work, work, work, work, work 🕺

I finally bought these lamps, and it feels like I’m in a Star Wars movie—minus the ugly cables lol

I promised myself to go to the gym four days a week. God, please help me because we both know I can’t be trusted!

The occasional existential crisis 😅 blueskyroast.com/roast/ebru.b...

Sometimes I think, 13-year-old me would be so proud of how far I've come. I've accomplished more than she ever thought possible.

We molded ourselves into who we are today.

First Christmas market of the year🎄

I am going to start reading this book📕 It was strongly recommended to me to help me understand cultural differences.

I got my permanent residence today 🇩🇪, and it might just be one of the most relieving days of my life. Thanks, German bureaucracy—now please take a vacation in hell.

How it feels on Bluesky.

I have an appointment at the immigration office on Monday, which I’ve been waiting for over five months. I even consulted a lawyer to help get it. It’s frustrating how systems can make simple tasks so complicated. I hope I can successfully navigate the German bureaucracy this time.

Today's good news: My mother-in-law is cancer-free 🧿

I somehow stopped posting on social media. I started questioning the purpose of my posts, maybe because of X. I used to love Twitter, but now it feels like a warning bell. Now, when I open Blue Sky, I feel peace instead of chaos. 😄 I'm trying to get back to sharing things on social media 🤞

guess where we’re complaining about it now bitch
