I work in translation and copyediting, compiling these lists while working on a book are super useful in future jobs. Some are new words, some are not. The focus here is translation, not building new vocab per se (that might be considered just a consequence).

✦⸻ tips for self

• two screens is better than one.
• 50min pomodoro is better than 25min.
• have water and a physical copy of dictionaries, grammars and thesaurus at hand; sometimes the internet does disappoint.
• never underline, highlight or use bold in any part; if you want to go back to a specific place, leave a comment for yourself. (copyediting)
• sometimes it's better to first read the translation and then the original; it prevents "tradutês" while ensuring clarity. (copyediting)

2024 ┋ 2025 ┋ wall of thought ┋ ideas

Been trying to write more or less consistently on my blog. Here you'll find a list of posts for this year. My goal is 4 posts per month at the least. Other than that, I'm writing a "wall of thought" here on listography for random thoughts that may be too long for status café and that I wanna save. I also have a paper commonplace book.

(2025.07.01) New month, same me. I wish I had energy to... do anything, really. I'm not even gaming, ffs. Tho updating my listo feels so good. ┋ (2025.07.02) Hoje nem o dia quis amanhecer. ┋ (2025.07.27) Wrote a bunch of reviews on Amazon today. Am pretty happy with my mini PC; been thinking about life: should I worry about the future or live in the present? Can't do both. Comprei a agenda que queria ter comprado desde janeiro...

(2025.06.13) The queen of self-sabotage is I. Tenho pensado em voltar a escrever, mas nunca sento pra fazer isso. ┋ (2025.06.15) I need to do a lot of little things I don't wanna do. I dreamed of working and pomodoro timers. Damn. ┋ (2025.06.17) cansada de me sentir cansada o tempo todo, mesmo qdo não tenho nada pra fazer. wtf brain. ┋ (2025.06.28) As soon as I stop working, my mood improves, my sleep improves, my life improves. Incredible.

It's hard most of days to do basic things (hello mental illness). I end up feeling like a failure, frustrated with myself, useless, like I did nothing all day but stare at a computer screen. I'm writing these down so I don't forget that some quick 25min pomos can save an entire day.

✦⸻ daily pomos to feel better

• reading a book/zine
• doing little chores around the house
• moving my body (jogging, dancing, biking, stretching, yoga)
• quality time with the cats (playing, brushing, cuddling, going for a walk)
• quick gaming session
• body self-care (hair, face, teeth, nails, cleaning)
• organizing something (wardrobe, computer files, kitchen cabinets, library)
• checking and writing up listography and TickTick calendar/todos

✦⸻ log

UPDATE 22 JULY: this whole list is drastically outdated. I'm trying to go back in my YT watch history to pull links and include them here; hopefully by the end of this month it will be all good! Pending videos to be added can be found here.

I'm addicted to long video essays. Here's a brief list of some of the 2025 watches I did and recommend to expand your knowledge and understanding of media, storytelling, culture and society.

✦⸻ video essays

• The Persistence of Decay by Sarah Davis Baker ▸ this is some next level shit; it incorporated one of my favorite books with the most intriguing concept humans have to deal with.
• how mary-kate & ashley built a billion d... by ModernGurlz ▸ just mildly interesting; I don't really care about the Olsen twins, but their non-tragic child-star trajectory is one for the books.

I play on Switch and PC, so I'll try to separate by console. I rarely finish games, so if you see a title here, it's probably unfinished (and some of these games don't "finish", like Spirit City or The Sims 4). I enjoy narrative-driven games, casual/idlers, and build simulators. ┋ key
