One of the things i like about bluesky, is that it is like a blackhole! Everything you put into it, it will vanish and nobody can notice it. It is a perfect place for my thoughts!

I stepped into the silence with a bouquet and a pulse.
The flower didn’t speak—but it listened.
The camera didn’t move—but it remembered.
Every frame is a breath I couldn’t take in words.

A quiet man sings in a smoky bar — and everything stops. I wrote about one of the most haunting scenes in Kurosawa’s Ikiru, and what it tells us about life, time, and being truly alive.

Thanks a lot for the recommendation, @theacousticeggbox.bsky.social 🙏 I’m already reading Pity the Reader and loving it. It’s like having #Vonnegut whisper his thoughts directly into your ear—witty, wise, and unexpectedly moving. Sharing a few favorite moments from the book 📖

What if cinema didn’t want to entertain?
What if it wanted to wait with you?
Tarkovsky. Akerman. Béla Tarr. Kiarostami.
They didn’t offer escape.
They offered time.
“Look Into My Eyes” (my short film) was made in that spirit.
Not a plot. Not a message. Just presence.

I like blurred and distorted photos better, especially if they have interesting color palette. Look at the colors in this photo and the texture of it, they are so beautiful.

I am scared tbh! I am reading about Ai recently and the more I try to get it the more I get scared. The ironic part is I am only 28-years old and I do remember when I was watching my Disney Cinderella movie on VHS, or playing my first video games on a device that was a bit smarter than Atari.👇🏻

1984—a book that doesn’t age, only gets eerier. Every read feels like a warning whispered a little louder.

the bedside altar of chaos and care
lamp glowing like a quiet witness.
a Red Bull from a restless night.
books opened, paused.
brushes lined like offerings—
not for me, but for him.
the silent prince with fur of storm and sunlight.
we live here together,
in soft disarray.

“I am ready when you are!” My canvas says. Every blank paper and every device saying the same, they are ready when we are. The question is, how long does it take for a person to know when he is ready?
