Re: My spirituality in three stories 
 In reply to: My spirituality in three stories 
 — Sylvia's Studio 
 As the title suggests, Sylvia shared three beautiful stories that illustrate
her spiritual beliefs. I highly recommend you read her
post first. While
you’re there, browse her other writing as well! I’m always very much inspired
by Sylvia’s…
Jazzy Listenin': New Groove - Peter Beets 
 From 1990 to 2003, my dear Grandpa presented a weekly show on the local radio
station called Jazzy Listenin’ . In this
series , I’ll discuss his albums to
honour his memory, as I listen my way through his collection. Today’s album is
“New Groove” (2007) by Peter Beets. 
 My Grandpa loved Dutch jazz,…
Feeling blue after the end of Heartstopper 
 
 A scene from the webcomic and the show side-by-side, featuring the protagonists Nick and Charlie, and Nick’s dog Nellie. Ever since discovering the show, I’ve been hooked on the comics as well. 
 

 Last night, we watched the final movie in the Heartstopper
series that has been my comfort show since 2022,…
Owning media again 
 This year, one of my aspirations is to rely less on the big streaming services
for my entertainment. Why? Well, for one thing, if we give too much power to
large corporations by getting overly attached to their services, that
leads to monopolies, inequality and ultimately, democratic decline. How’s
that for a positive opening? 
 Finding…
Cheerful fumbling 
 It’s a damp early morning, the house clearly recalls the past hot day better
than the cooler night. I’m playing a four chord song on my piano: my voice
leading is clunky, the rhythm is uneven, and I couldn’t be more pleased to
spend five minutes like this, skill-taste gap be damned. 
 Even though I’ve played piano and other…
Blaugust 2026 
 It’s August already! The month of
 Blaugust 
starts again. I’ve been debating a bit if I would join again or not this
year—just like last year . But before I get
into that, Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place each August which
focuses on blogging primarily (…) The goal is to stoke the fires of
creativity and allow…
Now, July 2026: Web Writers' Collective & Fountain pens 
 
 Web Writers’ Collective 
 
 I was invited to join the new Web Writers'
Collective and it’s such a joy to feel part
of a writing community! I’ve been lurking a bit more lately (now that the group
is growing), but I’m enjoying the discussions so far. Honestly, I’m still a…
Re: What is the oldest thing you own? 
 In reply to: What is the oldest thing you own? 
 — Thomas Rigby 
 From time to time, I get the urge to just unplug everything and become a
full-on Luddite, you know? The latest episode of this was triggered by the
discovery that over 80% of the e-books I’ve purchased turned out to be locked
by “Adobe DRM”. But…
Repeat that, repeat 
 James and I have come up with a collaborative writing
project that you’re welcome to join as well! The idea is to share
your thoughts on a poem through writing: there are no restrictions on the
format, as long as you publish your words on your website. Let us know when
you’ve written something ( e-mail ), so we can add a link to your submission…
On making mistakes and not starting over 
 Last week, I wrote a blog post that I now regret
publishing . I felt it was too negative, I
was complaining too much, and it didn’t feel particularly helpful to me or
anyone else. In other words, it was the opposite of everything I try to do
here. My first impulse was to delete it, and forget about it. I…
