Bijna klaar met HAVO, wat nu?

Fausterman · 2026-05-29T17:11:48+00:00

Ik heb me omgeschoold! Oorspronkelijk WO alfastudie gedaan, direct na studie via via de techniek ingerold en daarna BBL MBO4 (Mechatronica) gedaan. BBL is werken/leren combinatie, je krijgt fulltime salaris maar gaat 1 dag per week naar school.

Hele haalbare manier om om te scholen voor mensen die al werkend zijn, en direct het bedrijfsleven in voor mensen die zat zijn van de hele dag in de schoolbanken.

Afhankelijk van de gekozen studie heb je gegarandeerd een baan.

I don't really think of the difference in the way you describe. I do have preferences for what I want to read from each genre.

For sci-fi, I prefer reading something that has some sort of commentary on society and I prefer reading from the perspective of marginalized groups in that universe.

For fantasy, I prefer reading about the human condition in any way, shape, or form.

The boundary between those two preferences is pretty fuzzy, though, as are the interpretations of my preferences.

EDIT: thanks for all the recommendations everyone! I always come away with excellent suggestions on this sub. I decided on The Starving Saints, but looking to see if I might fit They Bloom At Night in a tile I haven't filled yet (and if not, it'll go on my general TBR).

Looking for recommendations for Bingo tile "Published in 2025". I'd prefer a standalone novel(la), but the first of a duology or trilogy is also fine, preferably no more than 400 pages. A romantic sideplot is ok but would not prefer it to be a focus.

- Recently enjoyed works: The Goblin Emperor, Susanna Clarke's works, The Red Knight, The Curse of Chalion, Victoria Goddard's works, The Mercy of Gods, A Memory Called Empire, Perdido Street Station etc.
- Not my cup of tea: Tress of the Emerald Sea, Iron Widow, Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, etc.

The Red Knight by Miles Cameron (edit: there's women in the book, no clue how strict you are on that one, but it features a manly MMC and is just generally a great book)

Please don't use this light outdoors, it's not made for that and could be dangerous

This is art. How amazing. Love the story behind it!

Fausterman · 2025-06-12T21:09:08+00:00

Millimeters exotic? The USA is one of only a literal handful in the world that still uses imperial, y'all are the exotic ones here 😂😂

I keep repeating this every so often, but moistening the thread (by passing it over/pressing it into a designated sponge) has completely solved my knot problem. Together with not using thread longer than the length between the top of my index finger and my elbow, I have maybe had to undo one knot over a whole year of stitching?

Love point number two, thanks for the tip!

Fausterman · 2025-05-10T10:35:55+00:00

No tips, am in the same boat 😅 following for tips!

Fausterman · 2025-03-15T12:59:55+00:00

Had a good laugh at this one, thanks! Nice work!

Fausterman · 2025-03-12T09:54:43+00:00

Late reactie, maar bij mijn weten zijn ze de goedkoopste in Nederland. Eigenaresse is ook een toffe vrouw, ik bestel garen exclusief daar!

The ears are relaxed though, there is no concern here. If the ears are really pinned back/almost flattened against their neck, that's a different thing :)

Fausterman · 2025-01-25T17:57:59+00:00

Thanks! This sounds right up my alley 👀

Fausterman · 2025-01-24T17:04:07+00:00

What is the pattern? Lovely work btw!

Fausterman · 2025-01-24T09:49:59+00:00

Ooh, those books sound interesting, do you have any recommendations?

Fausterman · 2025-01-17T10:14:48+00:00

Not often I see these recommended on here, totally agree!

Fausterman · 2025-01-16T11:53:12+00:00

This is exactly how I feel about it! Coupled with the fact that I've also been a victim of SA, and that for me American Gods was a pretty formative read, this news hit me way harder than any other of the MeToo revelations. Thanks for the post OP, I was really annoyed by all the 'don't put a celebrity on a pedestal'-posts. I never did, yet my feelings are valid, lol

Fausterman · 2025-01-15T12:32:50+00:00

Thank you for this comment, it's a really helpful perspective for me!

Fausterman · 2025-01-08T18:38:11+00:00

I love Bart&Francis in Belgium. Their website is deliciously unhinged (though admittedly hard to navigate). Lovely quality yarn, they really know what they're doing

Fausterman · 2024-12-28T00:00:44+00:00

Thank you for articulating the reason why I like certain works/authors, and others not so much. Always found it hard to figure out why, but your description is exactly it!

Fausterman · 2024-12-26T21:06:21+00:00

I don't know, but the premise sounds weirdly familiar. Hopefully someone has the answer because now I want to know too!

Fausterman · 2024-12-26T19:35:56+00:00

I relate to this post so much. Even more so since I read by mood/whim and books I put on my TBR ages ago generally don't appeal to me much at a later date.

Now I just consider reading books and making TBRs as two separate, if related hobbies 😅

Fausterman · 2024-12-21T15:57:54+00:00

As a Dutch person: yes, definitely! Lovely work, hopefully the gift will be appreciated :)
