Somewhere on the Internet

This blog is a labour of love, and it will always be free. Thousands of people read every post which is incredible. And if just 100 people donate €2 it means that I’ll be able to continue doing all of this for another year. So if you like the work, it would mean the world to me if you considered making a donation. Thank you to everyone who already has this year. There’s no expectations, as ever, and I hope you have a lovely week. Donate here

There is also now a Thoughts Too Loud Podcast!

Which song do you reckon would play at the beginning of a movie about your life? And what song would be the outro?

A man is unknowingly dressed as a pigeon as he browses through phone cases in the middle of a shopping centre. Another man next to him is bending his ear, ranting about how he needs to routinely visit his GP to keep on top of his health. Nobody acknowledges that the first man is still dressed like a pigeon.

Somewhere on the internet people are having a constructive conversation despite having differing opinions. Everywhere else on the internet it is chaos.

A man posts in solidarity with something and is annoyed when people don’t tell him what a good man he is.

Hatred is seemingly okay if you are hateful towards the correct people. A strange thing to put on a t-shirt but it sells well. Eventually the store owner receives a lot of hate and thinks it isn’t fair.

A pigeon dressed as a man starts incessantly worrying about KPIs.

A man writes a strange post for his mental health blog. Despite not being directly about mental health, the post still speaks to something. Maybe it’s a showcase of observing one’s thoughts without taking ownership. It could also just be that the man didn’t have anything else to say.
