I created this wiki during the vulnerable publishing workshop to better understand how to publish my graduation project after graduating.

Biggest frustrations


Januari 2020:
Writing my competence assessment before graduating. Although it gives me an excellent opportunity to reflect upon to projects I've done this past year, it also feels like one of those mandatory assignments that no one actually want to do.

Januari 2020:
A few weeks ago a nail studio opened up in the shop below my appartement. Personally I find acrylic nails to be an eyesore, but to each there own. The shop itself I have no problem with, the products they use to apply the nails I do have problem with.
In this specific product they use is an element known as MMA(or Methyl MethAcrylaat) which is banned in the US due to the smell and health concerns for people working with and or living in close proximity with. This product however is not banned in the EU and therefor also legal in the Netherlands.

Now to illustrate why I have a problem with this;

My appartement is situated on the 1st and 2nd floor of this building. It is a building originally build in 1650 and renovated in the 1970's. This means the appartement is crooked, is made mostly of wooden floors and leaks from time to time. The MMA inside the product used by the nail salon situated below my apartment is lighter than air, mean it rises and builds up as the day progresses. During any given day and opening hours of the nail salon the MMA builds up in my appartement causing headaches etc. Now because there is no law against this product, and there are no regulations for nail salons this is perfectly legal. I don't like this.
