ο»Ώο»Ώ I wrote this during the first days of autumn here in the Netherlands while looking out of the window from my desk at the library. There is this pond next to us, full of waterlilies and a big tree which I still need to find its name. But as I stared that quiet morning, I tried to do an exercise on writing. I wrote what I saw and felt with as much clarity as I was allowed. This is the polished result. (I was planning on writing something else but then I saw this on the notebook and I fel...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
chapter 2 "I don't know where to turn next with my career. Such is the problem that is ceaselessly buzzing in my ears. Indecision is the worst of evils." At school he continued to immerse himself in books, writing detailed notes about his classes and indulging in typically grandiose adolescent reflections about the nature of the world. He made few close friends. "I don't like society, above all this frivolous and shallow society," he wrote. "Literature suits me. Reflection and meditation are ...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds

OMG... cataloguing a book published by a publishing house with an AI name. I thought... ok, they just publish digital-related books. What are the chances they use AI to write them? Not sure... but then the description/blurb is 100% AI, for sure. It is almost as if AI has its own voice now, I can HEAR it in my head and go "aha!". It is so strange to feel. And part of me giggle at how lazy people is to at least try to not make a text sound AI, but also part of me cries that people make money th...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds

This was a disappointment. I get the book. But it was definetly an over hype. I did write on my notes that it might have been better if the book was longer. Right now it was too flat. It was vibes. I was looking for mind bending reality. I guess with so many people dealing with depression this book got popular. But my favorite books are the least popular.| Konfetti Explorations Feeds

Oh to rejoice in her laughter whilst my eyes wish to stare into darkness and my mind joining the morning mist. 10:30pm "We can't watch another (anime episode), tomorrow will be another 'ik ben wakker' (I'm awake) morning." "No it... ok... you are right... but no... ok..." β partner admits defeat. 5:50am: "Ik ben wakker! Mag ik uit?" "No... it's still sleepy time, come snuggle." "Nee! Ik ben wakker!" And thus it is another day with an almost 3 year old refusing to sleep... or nap. Coffee is ...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
ο»ΏThis is my submission to this month's Indie Web Carnival theme hosted by Bix of slow.dog. It is a stream of consciousness triggered while reading Genius and Ink ; Virginia Woolf on How to Read (2019). There is something about her writing that just makes my brain click. At the same time, it makes it rather difficult to get through her writing since I have to stop to write myself. A possession of sorts. Who knows. I have come to notice that as of late, I find myself forming thoughts of a cer...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds

'Oh, music. Lovingkindness. (I like that word.) Dreams. Humans are very good at dreaming, although you'd never know it from your television. There are cultures all over the Galaxy that trade dreams. ' -- chapter 20, Grand Central Station I love love love this chapter; it is so beautifully written. The movie never made it justice. Also, the movie was absolutely Americanized. The book is about the coming together of humanity, on faith and science merging. On discovering we are not alone in this...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds

Half way and I'm starting to struggle. A lot of political details involving many many names mentioned once. It's dragging a lot to introduce a new turn of plot every chapter. So every chapter introduces a new discovery and a lot of political and theological debates around them. It is a reflection of its time. But it's starting to draaaaaag.| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
Added this to my Salvation of the Reader essay as footnote: Hoe lossen we de leescrisis op? - NTR Wetenschap : the end of this video is exactly what I mean about starting with the love of reading, explaining what they read and why, before they start reading. Create a connection, a relationship with reading. Also to be realistic that not all the children will love reading, but they can understand better the power of reading. This video just came out yesterday in alignment with "Kinderboekenwee...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds
