Dulon Paradis Project Blog Post 19, Day 2 in Amsterdam.We’re back on the train. We made our way to Rotterdam, then via Uber to the Telecommunications Museum. It’s housed in the former home of the Rotterdam telephone hub place. There’re lots of locked doors and lots of historical tech. Our guide was a retired phone engineer guy, somber but smart, and maybe just a little happy about our interest level. https://www.patreon.com/posts/dulon-paradis-19-154119288?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Social media isn't really a solution to social relationships as much is it is to businesses that don't want to make their own websites.

Reading Pagan Spain by Richard Wright about his experiences as a Black man in Francoist Spain. All I can say is wow. Also, why wasn’t this required reading for my MA and/or year of Ph.D in (peninsular) Spanish lit?#Bookstodon

Got this email pointing me to a story about a "successful indie author" who "manages to balance a full-time job, motherhood, and writing."I'm sorry, but my minimum criteria for "successful author" means not having to hold down another job to support your writing. Otherwise, it's just "successfully published a book," which is indeed a form of success, but a much lower bar. That's more like "satisfied indie author."There's nothing wrong with being a satisfied author. Hell, that's *my* primary goal. But successful implies (to me at least) that it's a full time gig that's paying the bills.#WritingCommunity

Le pape Léon XIV à Monaco : un choix déroutant mais pas si étonnant Léon XIV se rend samedi à Monaco pour une visite-éclair. Une première historique pour un pape régnant qui a surpris plus d'un observateur mais illustre les liens puissants entre le Vatican et la principauté. Le souverain pontife doit notamment célébrer une messe au stade Louis II devant 15 000 personnes. https://www.france24.com/fr/france/20260327-pape-l%C3%A9on-xiv-%C3%A0-monaco-choix-d%C3%A9routant-mais-pas-si-%C3%A9tonnant

We finished another enjoyable bicycle ride today. I had been away five long years and was happy to be back doing with what I love with friends.She changed back into her street clothes in my living room, unashamed of her body, just as she always did years ago, even before her surgery. I have been so inspired by her since we met and rode together.Looking up, her eyes towards my body covered with only a white top, "damn, you are looking good."I replied striking a flirting pose, "you can have this body if you promise to ride with me every day"And she led me by the hand to the bedroom and that may be why I have not been on the internet much this evening.#bicycles #T4T #microfiction based on a true story today
