Regarding this post from João Sousa, with the update on his issues social networks while sharing content from Beirut. I’m not going to say there’s a deliberate attempt to ban all posts that focus a given topic, like posts from a specific country. I have nothing to base that and it would be going deep into the realm of conspiracy theories… But what’s real, and a weird sign of our times, is a kind of “algorithm censorship”, where, by only providing us with what “we like” certain controversial topics are buried that algorithm, leading to all kinds of creators to avoid them and only create “happy things”.And a simple example of that is the pandemic that starts with a C…
Kicking off 2022 with something plain and simple, a cliche: pretty sunsets.

I never really given that much attention to Instagram Guides, seemed just another influencer gimmick, but now I’m starting to think it could make sense to add some some structure to the otherwise bottomless pit that’s the feed photos.

Just like this one from my last Iceland trip. Let me know what you think. www.instagram.com/t3mujin/g…
Winter Solstice is upon us. This year I was hoping that by now I’d be getting ready to head north and return to the winter traditions of Trás-Os-Montes, but pandemic screwed the plans yet again.

Autumn wanderings in Lisbon’s downtown. The city is full of hills, so when you don’t have place you want go it’s easy to end up down by the river… Should’ve taken care of my Xmas shopping while I was there. #lisbon #portugal www.flickr.com/photos/t3…
Small stories you find when you decide to wander after work… Funny how mid workweek walks pulls your attention to different things.#lisbon #portugal
Organizing my hard drive and clearing out the not shared, for some reason, photos done in the last summer months, now that winter and cold seems to have settled for good around here. This batch is Lisbon’s east side, nearby where I live, where I often out out and chill and many of those time I bring the camera along. www.flickr.com/photos/t3…
