Things I haven’t been doing:

• Blogging
• Writing in general
• Paying much attention to teh interwebs

Things I have been doing:

• Going out and spending time with friends & family
• Going to Brussels and eating delicious chocolate and ice-cream
• Melting due to the heatwave that suddenly descended upon The Netherlands (this one looks like it will be short lived and might be over in the next few hours).
• Had my mind blown by Fela! (The Broadway musical produced by Jay-Z, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett)
• Faced (and not yet resolved) ethical dilemma: what if I found out that the partner of someone I know and appreciate a lot is, at the very least, intending to cheat on her? (I say intend because I found, by accident, his profile at two dating sites where he solicits for “casual sex”; I am, of course, unsure of how fruitful his solicitations have been). Added bonus: he is not really nice to her and without giving too much info (in case some of the people who know me read this), he also treats her quite badly (I would say he is abusive, but what do I know, eh?). Do I keep my trap shut or do I, at least, point her to the profiles and let her decide what (if anything) she wants to do about it? What if she knows and she has chosen to ignore it (no, they do not have an open relationship, but I know some people are not necessarily peeved by this stuff; others, on the other hand, might be heartbroken).

So yeah, fun times and not so fun times.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
