New island, new story 🌿 Restarted Animal Crossing from scratch today. My dog instantly picked up the “cosy” vibe and fell asleep next to me — a soft, quiet afternoon. Do you play too? Ever restarted your island from zero? #americancocker #dog #animalcrossing

While I was assembling my new ergonomic chair, I had a very serious little assistant by my side.
Well… serious until he decided my real priority wasn’t screws and tools, but cuddles & play time instead ✨

I finally opened my sketchbook… 😭 Now, I just copied drawings from artists I love. (@te___tr + @mainichikumao on X)
Nothing extraordinary — but for me, it’s huge.
The fear always fades once you start. You picture a wall, then draw a line… and the wall disappears. #draw #drawing #sketchbook

Great... Just got an email from @adobe.com : my subscription is going up to €78.65/month (from €48). That was the last straw—I canceled it. Let’s see what news Affinity has in store. I have no problem paying, but at some point enough is enough.

⛅️ Clouds tell us stories.
That evening, I saw a turtle — a matamata, drifting slowly through the sky’s currents.
Shapes awaken memories, myths, emotions. An image becomes a story — if we dare to lose ourselves in it.

I hate apps that change the rules of the game in terms of pricing without informing you... If you put something like ‘That's free forever’, do it. Or at the very least, be thoughtful enough to tell people about it, because trust takes a hit (thanks wayback machine for the info)

Walking the dog, I looked up and saw this odd trail in the sky.
Not perfect, not straight — just there. Organic. Quiet. Made me stop for a second. Funny how the sky means something different to everyone.

🍅 The first cherry tomatoes are starting to appear.
They’re still tiny, but I can’t wait to pick them… and taste them. It’s slow, it’s simple. But it’s enough to make me smile.
And you — what’s your small summer joy?

AI changed everything. I’m not an engineer, I’m a creator. Maybe the real question isn’t what AI can do, but what it reveals about us 🤔

🇫🇷 Some forces truly stand the test of time. The citadel of Belfort watches in silence.
The flag dances in the wind, and tall grass sways gently in the summer light.
A place shaped by history… now peaceful.
Did you know there’s a samurai armor inside? 🇯🇵

I realized not long ago that chasing the perfect setup was making me lose sight of what I was actually trying to build. I simplified everything to find what truly works for me.

I was about to set up the parasol to offer some shade to the plants, and to the birds that come to drink near the cabin, when a hummingbird hawk-moth appeared, hovering mid-air. A fragile moment, almost sacred.

Recently, I questioned the tools I use. I tried new ones—and slowly, I’m rediscovering the joy of writing and creating. The way we publish and create online is shifting. I wrote a short piece to reflect on this quiet evolution.

What if your favorite app disappeared tomorrow? Mine just did.
I lost a tool — but it made me think about habits, memory, and digital fragility.
I wrote about it. And shared a few alternatives.
