Human consistency and persistence in action sometimes amaze and embarrass me. They are impressive. Like the habit of one American woman who has kept a diary since… 1936. She turned 100 years old. Have been writing for 90 years and have no intention of stopping it. Ok, these are not long entries. But still. Amazing. I recently wrote a few words about how I adore bloggers who boast a tenure of 10, 15, 20 years.

Emanuel Maiberg on 404media.co: Researchers find that the more people use AI at their job, the less critical thinking they use. This is very important conclusion. And no - this doesn’t mean that the use of artificial intelligence should be discontinued. This makes us we should put even more effort into other activities that sharpen critical thinking. It won’t be easy or widespread, because people like convenient and quick solutions that have an immediate effect (like the results presented by AI).

You can leave Twitter/X and move to Bluesky or Mastodon. You can leave Facebook and don’t miss it or possibly move to LinkedIn. You can leave Messenger/WhatsApp and move to Signal. You can leave Instagram and move to Pixelfed. But you can’t leave YouTube. Although there are alternatives in the IndieWeb and open source world. But in reality, in this case, there is no good alternative.

In article on nature.com I read: “Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions,” wrote one respondent. “My feed is almost entirely scientists and I actually get updates on research that is relevant and timely,” wrote another. and In Nature’s survey, 55% of respondents to the question ‘What do you use Bluesky for?’ said it was a mix of three research-related activities: to connect with other scientists, keep up to date with other research or researchers, and promote their own research.

I am in the process of restructuring my RSS library. It’s a revolution. During last years I’m used my feed very irregularly. There is no a one reason ‘why’. It just so happenen. Last months are a big revolution for me in approach to using the Internet included many services. On this list is RSS as well. It’s a return to the past. The good past. The idea is really simple.

From few days I’m an avid reader of interviews on manuelmoreale.com. Manu is a blogger who interviewing with other bloggers and ask them about theirs, in general, journey in blogging world. Many of them gave very interesting answers - thought-provoking, clever observations and many others worth-reading thoughts. I noticed that part of them are writing from many years. Sometimes from end of 20th century. It’s amazing. I admire theirs consequences, ambitions and passion.

I’m new here. In blogosphere. What can be understood as a personal blogging. Earlier I had a blogs by short time during the years, but every had a specific subject. Now is different. I’m sharing my thoughts. This is absolutely different feeling and approach to writing. So I can say that this is slightly different situation for me: for my brain and habits of writing. And I continue my journey by the path of personal blogs.

I take the train every day. Twice in a day, because place where I work is about 50 km from my home. So traveling is my everyday routine. And I love it. I love to take the train and what becoming after that. For me the train station is a some metaphysical gate that takes me to another world. To the world where everything makes simplier. Where everything has its place.

I remember when about 15 years ago we had in Poland two interesting and quite popular social media platforms: Blip and Flaker. Blip was ‘polish Twitter’ in that time. Used only by Poles. Really interesting grassroots project which became important place for people with various interests. Flaker was something different. You published posts, took part in discussions, following other people. Combination of Facebook and Twitter (or Blip). It had great community and some of options which wasn’t enabled for a long time in American social platforms like Twitter or Facebook.

For me X is dying as a social platform. Misinformation, haters comments, quarrelings, dozens of unintelligible changes during last months. This is no longer space for me. I tried to find alternative but it was difficult. It is still difficult because I don’t know is I find it. Now I discover Bluesky - app created by people which worked on Twitter. They’re showing everyday new approach about how should look modern and independent (without big tech) social media.

Even if you want, you don’t have a wide choose. Coca-Cola, according to its own report, sells 134 billion plastic bottles a year, and that number has increased by 15 percent in the last four years. This is not all. Plastic production has sharply increased over the last 70 years. In 1950, the world produced just two million tonnes. It now produces over 450 million tonnes. (ourworldindata.org)

I like to write. I write since 2007. In that moment I’ve been started blog and writing in few other places on the web as well. It was a way which helped me to find the new experience and get practice before I began studying and working. When I started work with text and writing as my job, suddenly I felt into a trap. I realised that my all articles and posts must be perfect, long and full of knowledge (maybe I’m a little bit of a perfectionist?

I’ve heard great radio show about history of radio in polish regional public station. It was a program about history of radio because in 2024 is 100 anniversary of Radio Wrocław. And on this station I’ve heard this program. What caught my attention? The story of what happened, that the radio was invented. Radio - like many other things - is an invention. But without few different inventions probably it never wouldn’t be created.

During all night from Sunday to Monday was heavy rain on my town and region. Consequence: small local flood. The next day I saw small deer who running by the flooded field in a village. It was so beautiful view. And I realised about it that we did similar in the past. We’ve run by the woods and meadows. We’ve lived in harmony with nature and it was great for both.

One day Ernest Hemingway said: There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed. Shocked, right? My first reaction was similar. But when we think about it, can see hidden truth. Writing is something really personal. It’s part of your soul which you are share with other people. With strangers people. It’s like a blood - deep part of your body. And it’s difficult when you want to write great article or essay.

It’s great feeling to understand what people say in different languages. I learn English from few years and from part of time I speak well in various situations. I arrive by train to my office everyday and regularly meet people from various countries when I’m waiting on train station. They often have many questions about arriving: tickets, choose correct platform and others. Regularly in last time they asked me about this.
