no. and im from london with my british roots in yorkshire and scotland. maybe its an age thing (im born late 90s) ?

i also refer to my parents cousins and their spouses as "my aunt/uncle" but wouldnt call them aunty x etc. i suspect this is bc my extened family is unusually close and bc the german term for these relatives is "second degree aunt/uncle" (tante/onkel zweiten grades)

i use aunt(y)/uncle for my parents siblings, their spouses, my grandparents siblings and their spouses. the only exception is spouses of parents siblings who they met/married after i turned 10ish, who just get called their first names

highly recommend the vegan lunch buffet at hermans. they have a lovely terrace too

2/ she had no way of knowing bc we had been msging over fb, where i had a different name and no pp, but i just straightup failed to recognise her from her pic and (unusual) name. so we had a drink and made awkd small talk and let that be a lesson abt the size of queer communities even in big cities

1/ i was spending a couple of months abroad and my then gf set me up with someone she knew (yay polyamory !) who had moved to the same city. i arrive at the pub where we were meeting and realise we have already been on a date a year before in my home city.

Vermüllung in Uganda: Der Preis des Mülls Ein Jahr nach der Mülllawine hat Shadia Nanyonjo weder ihr Zuhause zurück noch eine Entschädigung erhalten. Die Stadt lädt ihren Abfall in einem geschützten Gebiet ab.

@lingucat.bsky.social taz.de/Vermuellung-... ist mülllawine schon in deiner tristabensammlung ?

kommt mmn drauf an, ob eine privatperson oder eine organisation das gemacht. auf dem sommerfest vom sportverein getränke bezahlen = immer noch ein fest. bei einer privatperson nicht (außer es ist explizit eine solifeier vielleicht ?)

seconded ! might be a bit too pop-ling ish but i came to recommend the story of english in 100 words
