It's weird to see that many platforms will slowly prefer "more professional" content over other forms of content due to demands by advertisers. Where do these demands come from? 😄

Why wouldn't you want to advertise something after a cat video or in the context of a guy talking into his phone […]

Somewhere along the way, the prediction of a snow storm turned into neither snow nor storm today. 😄

Crucially underrated questions:

- What's your perspective on this?
- What was your intention?
- Am I correct to assume ... ?
- What am I missing?

My wishlist:

- more kindness
- more compassion
- more curiosity
- more grace
- more attention for solutions
- more love
- more dialogue
- more support for the right people
- more community

- less tribalism
- less draining outrage
- less attention for the wrong people
- less hate

Even though it's waaay past midnight* already, I'm drinking a coke now.

Because I'm a big boy, ha!

The only person who made it on my Nice List this year was my postman. Didn't catch him for Christmas, but I assume that an end-of-year present is equally nice, so I caught him right in time for that. 😄

My personal headline for the 2020s is probably going to be "talk is cheap".

Oh, I got an MRI appointment at short notice on Monday. It's not ideal with New Year's Eve around the corner (and presumably a night of bad sleep because of fireworks), but I'm currently stable and who knows how I feel in a month. And what's done is done, after all.

Sooo ... potato mode it is. 🥔

I'm still having trouble with my stomach, especially concerning fats, but my wife stumbled upon an interesting recipe for vegan "duck". It's mostly seitan and jackfruit, so primarily protein and fibre. Served with thin gravy and mild veggies.

This has been the […]

Good news: presumably proper cortisol levels.
Bad news: at 3:30am. 😵‍💫

My wife baked (potato) gingerbread. Haven't tried them yet, but at least one of them is looking funny.

“Make sure to take an hour out of your day to listen to this podcast episode, which will completely reinforce the opinion about a person you are already holding!" feels like a proper representation of our current online zeitgeist. 🙃

In case anyone else was curious but didn't feel like asking. 😄

When I was healthy, my wife and I would make a stroll to a local bakery for a surprise bag pretty much every week. “Bread Friday“ also became a temporary tradition with a friend who sadly decided to part ways.

So getting these now is kind of a bittersweet […]

Looks like it was a good idea to take the occasional sleeping pill to break the cycle of bad nights for now.

Still resting to mitigate possible damage from Wednesday. I'll know by tomorrow.

Sales rep in the hallway, so I can't have lunch because the microwave would snitch on me.

Can't remember having trouble falling asleep this year. Waking up often, wakefulness at night, unrefreshing sleep, sure, but at least I managed to fall asleep at my usual bedtime quite well.

Well, I guess we gonna make sure to check all the boxes before the end of the year. 🙃

“Follow our podcast on Instagram“ will probably never not feel wrong. 😄

My body seems reluctant to produce heat today. Good thing we have a heating blanket lying around. Like

I sometimes feel like a have to take care of a 90-year-old, which, coincidentally, happens to be my body. 😄

It's not often that a post stays with me for some time, but years ago I came across one that I remember going something like: “whenever someone suddenly starts ghosting me, I imagine that they were a spy that fell in love with me, so they couldn't finish the kill order.“

Looking back at people […]

It took about a month after my short trip to the hospital for my brain to feel at (sick) baseline again. Just in time to see my dentist next week. Which is the only appointment of my original planning that stayed in the calendar.

After that, the calendar is finally empty for the rest of the […]
