It’s already been over 2 years since you have left us. You still leave an incredible hole in our home and our hearts. Only toward the end of last year, I finally got rid of your old medication and your food. I haven’t taken down the sign at my door with your face on it. Every year, we use the reusable photo calendar...

As I said before, I’m a lazy listener. I don’t listen to a lot of music; I often just like one song of an artist, and I tend to listen to single songs and playlists instead of albums. But recently, I finally checked out the new album of an artist I enjoy: Princess Nokia. It’s been a few months since the “GIRLS”...

In Mina Le's latest video, she quotes Adam Aleksic about quitting or severely reducing social media and phone use: "For one, it's the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand and pretending like the algorithm doesn't exist. Whether you like it or not, our culture is still being shaped by these platforms, and...

Welcome to a little series I'm starting, where I ask people working in the privacy field 7 questions about their work!

Feeling like sharing some of my recent finds. I've been checking up on Mochii's channel for quite a while now. She always inspires me to stay weird, silly and creative, and reminds me that you are still cherished and admired when you are different. I feel pushed to finally get deeper into my personal style :) The...

In January, I wrote about doing a month without caffeine and gave an update one week in. In the original post, I wrote about realizing I was using it to override exhaustion rather than addressing it. I had been relying on matcha, black tea, come coffee and caffeinated water flavours to get through poor sleep,...

In ‘small thoughts’ posts, I’m posting a collection of short thoughts and opinions that don’t warrant their own post. :) ☁️☁️☁️ Seeing parallels between my mother and me. She used to throw herself into work, regardless of anything. Didn’t wanna call in sick, still usually doesn’t. Used to pride herself on how much...

In the Bearblog Carnival February 2026, Winther asks: Are you ever bored, what do you do when you are feeling bored or are we even capable of feeling bored in this age of limitless digital entertainment? What comes to mind about the topic is that we are quick to demonize boredom, but we should cherish it instead....

I have almost 200 hours in Hello Kitty: Island Adventure now, and my wife gifted me the first DLC for it: Wheatflour Wonderland in December. I’ve already written some tips about HKIA in general, but also wanted to put down my thoughts about the DLC. My verdict is: Save your money. Don’t buy it, buy it on a steep...

img { display: inline-block; } rose Enjoying so much snow :) has been amazing to see. It hasn't snowed this often or much in the last few years, if not a decade; at least that's what it feels like to me. Going on weekly walks with my wife has been fun and gives room for so many amazing talks we'd otherwise not have...

Came across a response by Randomly Short today. Appreciate the reply, and I thought I'd go more in-depth about some of it. The author writes: "Unfortunately that type of work is not what free plans are designed to do. That type of work would honestly be considered something a professional would be doing. Pay for a...
