The Calmth of the Snow
Since the invasion of Ukraine by Putin’s forces started, I have been receiving questions about whether I am safe. To be really clear, I have been in the Polish city of Szczecin for about 2 years already. Meaning, yes, I am safe. That doesn’t change the fact that I have worries, as my family and…
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. On this day we remember the worst genocide Europe and the world has experienced throughout history. A genocide which primarily targeted Jews and Roma, but also those who were disabled, Slavic people (especially Poles), Jehovah’s Witnesses, communists, socialists, and homosexuals. We’re so many years onward, but the world hasn’t learned.…
One of the facts regarding the Ukrainian participation in Eurovision this year has likely been noticed by you already, Ukraine will not participate this year. Which comes after a dispute with the expected entry MARUV – who won the popular vote here in Ukraine – over her performances in Russia. However, most other facts still…
About a year ago, I shared the following video on my Twitter timeline: It’s a video by the Polish-South African Stefan Tompson, whom probably is best identified as a seeker of truth, exposing the facts that people don’t want to face.

Yes, it is actually possible, peace during war, and the reason why…
When it comes to (Donald J.) Trump, there is a lot of ridiculousness.

It’s one of the moments in my life about which I say “wow, how lucky I am that it happened to me”, the moment I received an email of Elda Moreno from her official United Nations email (that she had back then). For those who do not know, she is the current Head of the…
Unless you live in the USA, Canada, or Western Europe, you probably are aware of that ancient old bias, how citizens of Western Europe and Northern America seem to believe they set the standard of the world, and basically everyone else is weird… Well, obviously we are not weird, but that is how we are…
As my blog is kind of an extension of my Twitter profile, it is likely that you have read the following Tweet: My mind has been preoccupied this week, hence no songs of the day that I usually do.Henceforth, a #SongOfTheWeek for once.Which is a song that after 11 years still has the best message,…
The first time I noted being a syncretist, people were surprised, some even not actually aware of what it means. Syncretism is the practice of combining different beliefs, and yes, I am adherent to it. It’s essentially the opposite of the so-called “Third Position”, which is all about opposing and dividing those of the “regular…
