Some time ago we had a friend visiting in our flat and he said our cat acted more like a dog, so we’ve been taking him out for walks, but I think Billy Preston disagrees with that statement…

He enjoys the walks though 😅

A couple of months ago I moved my social web presence to Bridgy Fed because it supported Webmentions, following users and provided a handy RSS Feed. Today that Feed is gone along with all my follows 😟 I hope is just a temporary hiccup…

Another Sunday spent working on my website, this time implementing Reposts/Boosts 🚀

I don’t even use them that much, but learning with GoBlog is so much fun!

All the Succession talk has me almost convinced to watch the show. Just like recently watching The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and rotch’s Forever Knolling list has me considering revisiting Wes Anderson’s filmography. Some day…

Social Media peaked with Path. I can’t believe it took this long to realize how much it inspired my website. Beyond the timeline design, I continue to use mostly private or unlisted posts that are only shared with friends or in my family’s WhatsApp group.

However, I’ve started publishing some of those entries to populate the “Timeline”, apologies if that results in a bit of spam in your Feed reader 😅

‘Racism is normal in La Liga’: Vinícius Júnior | The Guardian

A year ago when I moved to Poland my grandfather warned me about the racism I could experience here or “anywhere in Eastern Europe” he said, but apart from the one drunk guy that shouted terrible things to me in the street I haven’t had to deal with that.

I can’t say the same for my time in Spain where in just ONE DAY there were more “incidents.” So when I see Vinicius Jr., a black Brazilian player that’s subject of racism everywhere he goes in the country, calling the Football League racist, I have to agree.

Unfortunately in Europe it’s like racism and Football go hand in hand and for that reason I’ve stayed away from stadiums here. I can’t help but wonder how can the Spanish people allow for one of the top athletes in the world to be called a “monkey” week in week out and do nothing about it?

And to think that as a kid I proudly wore my Pablito Aimar Valencia shirt… 😥
