The Folkmoss Logs
I'm the Folkmoss. I'm a human from Earth and this is my weblog, or, how I like to call it, my living web book. This is a place where I write about nostalgia, personal experiences, media in general and interesting things I find on and offline. This space is a personal experiment, so consistency won't be the focus here. I post mainly in English but you'll see eventual Portuguese (my mother tongue) floating around sometime.

Went to a hair salon today. First time in... Idk how many years. Four maybe? Way before the pandemic I was already cutting my own hair, and the last time I risked going to one, I was not happy with the end result. But this one was good....
Today I got around to updating a few links and chapters/notes around this living, ever-changing digital book. All cat pics are now properly tagged as /cats, and I've updated the Bear Blog tweaks master list with the link to its updated...
Many months ago I asked around about bookmark solutions. People went straight to things like Pocket and Instapaper, but that wasn't at all what I meant. My question wasn't about saving articles to read later (I use Raindrop for this...
This has been a feline-heavy month. I mean, every month is feline-heavy when you live with five cats and your sister with another five, but this one's been special. So let's see. GamingI've played Hidden Cats in Istanbul1 and can't wait...
Been reading a lot lately. My spirits might be in the dumps, but my mind is high in the clouds. Thing is, so far I haven't read anything truly... good. At least nothing that satisfy my literary predilections. Ever since finishing The...
I saw this first in Alterick's blog, then followed it all the way to this github. I've been feeling a bit crappy and disconnected from the world, so might as well engage in something external. 1. What did you do this year that you’d...
Today I had a fight with my partner. We don't fight constantly, but when we do, it's always about the same things. Today we had one of these never-ending disagreements we always get into and... he said something that I'm not sure how I...
Kitty updateEarlier this morning, at about 6am, Tico-Tico passed away in the ICU. I had gone to see her yesterday during visiting hours. Even though she tried to escape her enclosure (weak as she was) I could see she was pretty...
Yesterday a dear friend went to Buenos Aires to spend Christmas with his mom for the first time in, idk, ten years maybe. We were pretty happy for him when he told us he had managed to save up to finally visit his mom in Argentina! And...
Just wanted to complain a little, bear with me. Something that pisses me off to the moon and back is when people say your disability is a "superpower". With all due respect, super power my ass. It's called a disability for a reason. It's...
(っ- ‸ - ς) ~ sigh Been using a lot of Claude.ai recently, and the more I use it, the less adequate I feel in the world. Like I'm a dumb, annoying airhead who should know better at this point, and who shouldn't be bothering flesh people...
I've been on a reallll funk lately. Lost half my antidepressant prescription, so I've been taking only 2/3 of the dosage I need; ADHD's been kicking my butt hard, and I just... don't feel like blogging. I've been meaning to write...
Been doing some huge digital housekeeping lately. Most of it is due to my decision to finally move from Windows to a Linux distro. I ended up choosing Kubuntu, have it ready to go on a USB stick, but before that... Well, let's just say...
Sometimes the internet scares me. And I'm not talking about dark webs, cyber crimes and gruesome humans behind keyboards. No, I'm talking about human interaction mediated by bits and bytes and how, when one decides to write something in...
Apparently it's been 1 week and five days since my last post. Weirdly, it feels like forever ago. A lot of things happened these past few days. A lot of work trips, conferences, social activities and many, many more. I miss blogging and...
