Admit it, you do it too. If you are a dog owner, you know what I mean. All those inevitable “in-dog-mode” thoughts that we have when we’re walking them. I do that every time. I mean it’s not already bad enough that we talk to them as if they’re toddlers, we actively try and getContinue reading “Subtitled dog walks”

Social media profiling
We all do it. Even if subconsciously. Likes, follows and comments can tell a lot about an individual. Even the absence of interaction says something about a person. Surely you’ve thought about it before. It happens when we put our contacts circle into categories. The list can vary and could be shorter or longer. SurelyContinue reading “Social media profiling”
The feeling of being proven right
There are a lot of pleasant feelings a human being can have but being proven right must be one of the most fulfilling ones. If you follow this and the other one of my posts you probably remember that I recommended a piece of sensible reading (of course, sensible, I don’t share anything else), whichContinue reading “The feeling of being proven right”
Screw blue January
Loving the new background imagery on our laptops. So colourfully warming π₯° We tend to underestimate the suggestive motivation to work. Weekends, holidays and retirement, that’s what we work for, what we look forward to (unless you have a highly paid fun creative job, of course… π).

Day 1
Annual clean up Ok, I started the year with a healthy breakfast, my supplements (and paracetamol). Got the drinking out of my system and didn’t even overdo it.

As I promised myself, rekindling my love for reading…

Just… Why?
I don’t get why there are still so many people that reverse-park when they go shopping… π²
Overtourism
Last week 16 people lost their lives in one (if not the most iconic) Lisbon trams. We should see this as a warning to the tourism over-crowded countries. Something must be done. And I’m not referring only to these beast old vehicles’ regular maintenance. I’m talking about the excessive tourism that’s gone out of hand,Continue reading “Overtourism”
On the “bubble-wrap” gens
I am not looking for clicks or followers writing about this topic (unless what I write entertains your thinking). As many of us do, I find writing therapeutic; it helps me make sense of the world around me. And I’m sorry, as much as I’d like to keep up with new ways of reasoning, IContinue reading “On the “bubble-wrap” gens”
