Over the years I’ve spent a lot of time using my phone, as is true for most of us. A few years back I started thinking more about how I use it. There’s no getting away from it, smart phones are pretty much indispensable in this day and age, needed for internet banking to bus tickets and all the other things in between. I make and reschedule medical appointments easily, and most important for me,…
I’m amazed that I’m even writing this. You can accuse me of living under a rock, but since I choose not to interact with social media, and limit exposure to media outlets I was unaware of the push from corporations to mandate AI use.

I'm mostly fluent, though I lack the depth of knowledge and experience to express myself in ways I would like to. Soon I will be able to apply for Polish citizenship, but I won’t get citizenship without improving my written Polish skills. I work in English apart from oral communication, so…
I’m starting small because this is daunting. Writing a few posts is one thing, but consistently turning up and putting in the work is not something that lasted very long for me before. When the novelty wears off and it becomes difficult to string words together in a meaningful way I soon move on to something else. Last time I tried I made the website myself, spending far too much time on the…
