📚 Just finished reading: The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Guevara (2021 edition)
The diary of Che Guevara's journey to discover the continent of Latin America while still a medical student, in 1952 on a vintage Norton motorcycle with his friend Alberto Granado, a biochemist. It captures the exuberance and joy of one person's youthful belief in the possibilities of humankind tending towards justice, peace and happiness.
I've just started reading William L. Shirer's Berlin Diary, and I can recommend it (so far)
Shirer was a foreign correspondent (for a US paper) in Berlin, and this #diary covers the period 1934-1940.
Sure, it's easy to find historical parallels (because you can cherry-pick), but blimey this is a sobering read.
We don't have any great orators today (like Hitler was, according to Shirer). But then again, people's sensibility has deteriorated so much that fascism might no longer require them.
Hello 👋,
Je demande #conseil
J'aime les blogs de gens qui parlent à cœur ouvert, genre coup de gueule, intimiste, mood, enfin vous voyez style journal, diary. Et en français.
Vous allez me dire que c'est pas difficile à trouver. Mais pas tant que ça. Les moteurs de recherche me baladent de portail en portail.
Ça m'énerve.
Donc si vous avez un ou des liens à partager, ze suis intéressé.
Un grand merci !!!

»Next to us was a man selling some #vegetables. A woman approached yet she was hesitant. In our culture, people buy vegetables and fruit in kilos. But the woman took one #tomato and asked him to weigh it and tell her the price. Then she added another tomato and did the same. After telling her the price, she opened the small #money carrier she had and looked at what she had inside. Then she said that she will take one tomato only.«
An exuberant improvisation not at all like the weather outside. Probably influenced by new (too shy to photograph) kittens in the house. First #Piano#Diary recording of the year. Might be a good one.
Been using the app Daily Bean as my everyday mood tracker/micro blog, but I'm contemplating on eventually switching to the Midori 5-Year Diary. I like the idea of being able to look back on the same day of the previous years--all on the same page. Thinking of making the switch next year...
Is anyone using it? How's your experience? And is it really FP-friendly?
The Good Man of Nanking is a crucial document for understanding one of World War II's most horrific incidents of genocide, one which the Japanese have steadfastly refused to acknowledge. It is also the moving and awe-inspiring record of one man's conscience, courage, and generosity in the face of appalling human brutality.
