I am increasingly bothered by the fact that any piece of media that comes out is already old in less than 24 hours. Everybody feels the urge to have a strong take, to dissect it and analyze it. In doing so, we lose the ability to let a piece of media filter through our minds and become part of us.

After seeing many similar experiments, I am testing a way to show and comment on this blog’s articles using Bluesky network. In the best case, it will make the comment section more lively. In the worst case, I would had learned something new.

In the last couple of months, Bluesky, one of the many post-Twitter attempts to reshape the landscape of social networks, is living its best moment. Powered by Twitter’s blunders and by the continuous alienation provided by his power-hungry owner, Bluesky doubled its user base from around 10 millions users to the current 24 millions. It is time to annotate some of my thoughts.

It was the summer of 2018. I was a bit burnt out by a mix of anxiety, work and a bloody hot week. So, I decided to go to my parent’s mountain house. The plan was straightforward: go there, disconnect from the world, write fiction, read books, do long walks in nature. I wanted to do the things I used to do a long time ago when life was breezy :D.

However, after just one day, I found myself doing the same things I usually do at home: checking news, looking for interesting, reading opinions, checking Twitter and so on. It was then that: I did not know how to relax anymore. I did not know how to be creative anymore.
