I’ve been going to this convention since 2013 with only a few missed, and it happens twice a year, in the summer and winter. Personally, the winter convention is my favourite because it is smaller, more cozy and helps brighten the spirit during quite a dull and grey time of year. I always get very nostalgic for my nerdy interests around...]]></description><link>https://1999sagabrink.wixsite.com/powderpuffdyke/post/thursday-at-n%C3%A4rcon</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a045307f260c3765696d94</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Mar 2026 13:03:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b0b04c_1f5e9c03648141b1b5d0344b4d78db11~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Saga Brink</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[NEW HAIRCUT]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hello blog readers~ Sorry about the mess with posts disappearing and reappearing recently! You must have received several false update emails, and now two of my blogposts are in the wrong order, sorry for that (¬`‸´¬)  I also still have a backlog of Närcon updates— but important things have happened!! And you all need to know before then. Namely I got a haircut, and I feel so cute. I brought loads of pictures, but mainly I was thinking about this girl I met at Närcon tbh. My hair isn’t as...]]></description><link>https://1999sagabrink.wixsite.com/powderpuffdyke/post/new-haircut</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a6dbfdbc3e217656f1fdf3</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Mar 2026 13:15:19 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b0b04c_3698adb6d176481da4f8af87f4fcb06f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Saga Brink</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[STOCKHOLM PLACEMENT WEEK]]></title><description><![CDATA[Last week I was in Stockholm for my first interpreter placement! It's been such a great experience from start to finish, so I decided to do a longer post about everything that went on. I was at an interpreters firm, and because of confidentiality I can't say much, but I can say that the workplace is absolutely lovely, everyone is so sweet, supportive and talented, and I’ve learned so much!!  I've gotten to see interpreting in culture and performance, which is truly my dream to work with. I’ve...]]></description><link>https://1999sagabrink.wixsite.com/powderpuffdyke/post/stockholm-placement-week</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6981c43e855cbe41d33a9e43</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 16:05:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b0b04c_1ca0ac408fad4bf6af3b82776785fa1e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Saga Brink</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[LIFE RECENTLY]]></title><description><![CDATA[Hello~ I’ve been away since my placement because a nasty cold, but I thought I’d come back to do a little update on life for the past two weeks! I came back to school after a week of being sick, and it was so good to get back to it. We’ve done more practical interpreting training, which has been nice after a long period of mostly focusing on theory and literature! On Friday we also got a semla from school, one of my favourite Fika treats (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) I went to the cinema with my fiancé to see...]]></description><link>https://1999sagabrink.wixsite.com/powderpuffdyke/post/life-recently</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69987fff9afabca1d1466fb7</guid><pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2026 16:02:16 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b0b04c_1046e7af8d95471fb7c47f775446c40e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Saga Brink</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[THOUGHTS ON DISCONNECTING]]></title><description><![CDATA[I am so sick of subscriptions. I have heard people around me saying that "this is the year of physical media", but I started thinking about how that could manifest for me, and I realised that especially music streaming platforms are causing me distress. For one thing, platforms such as Spotify don't pay their artists a living wage, which as someone who creates music (for the joy of creation) feels like unethical consumption. Moreover, I miss the feeling of OWNING a piece of art, such as a...]]></description><link>https://1999sagabrink.wixsite.com/powderpuffdyke/post/thoughts-on-disconnecting</link><guid isPermaLink="false">696f9a718067b29f7ce555e7</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:42:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b0b04c_1f4beafea6614efe9f2e5f41215ee9f2~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Saga Brink</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[WHY START A BLOG?  ]]></title><description><![CDATA[At the end of 2025, I reached a point where I realized that my existence online no longer brings me joy. As a teenager, I loved the aspect of social media that allowed me to make genuine connections and share the things I love, my thoughts on the world, and little glimpses of everyday life. The first friends that I made on the internet shaped me into the person I am today, and my biggest idols were Tumblr queens of the Swedish alt scene. Entering their blogs, it was filled with silly text in...]]></description><link>https://1999sagabrink.wixsite.com/powderpuffdyke/post/why-start-a-blog</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6967f6860ef3e0e1c07f14a2</guid><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jan 2026 15:44:44 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b0b04c_5444dc55cb6041238b2be8e2b842d575~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Saga Brink</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
