People busy on their phones while a blind girl is trying to get by. I’m not saying I’m Mr. Perfect. It could just as well have been me absorbed in my phone. It just feels sad when the contrast becomes so clear.

A busy street scene shows a diverse group of people walking, some holding phones and beverages.

I just added a library of CSS styles to my other blog. Even though they’re made for Bear, you might still find some inspiration no matter what blogging platform you’re using.

The bouncer wouldn’t let me in, but it all worked out when I said, “This isn’t the drunk you’re looking for.”

A black-and-white mural depicts a stormtrooper in a military uniform on the wall of a building with a door and a small table in front.

Trying out the new ”Activity” feature in the @microsocial app for Micro.blog. I love the idea! For this little test I picked the ”Listening” option and a song that’s become part of modern Swedish music history.

I love checking out small, half-hidden alleys here in Chiang Mai. Especially when it’s dark. There’s always some kind of bright light source that makes the scenes almost feel staged. This photo is straight from the phone, with zero edits.

A small, dimly lit street-side water vending machine with signage is surrounded by various items and scaffolding structures at night.

Two tiny tealights fighting the darkness. Looks like they’re winning. Go light! 🙌🕯️

A rustic street corner features a candle-lit shrine next to a large tree surrounded by brooms, a mop, and a blue cart.

There’s something about old stuff. You just point and shoot, and it’s going to look cool. Maybe it’s also about the fact that it’s still around, that it has survived people’s urge to trade the old for the new. A sense of “there’s still hope for humanity”.

A vintage Volkswagen van is parked by the sidewalk, surrounded by trees and small shops at night.

I’m still so hesitant about posting shorter, title-less posts like this one. Even now, when I have robertbirming.com for longer posts. As if this isn’t considered a “real blog post”. It’s stupid, I know.

Anyway, the photo is from an evening walk around the back alleys of Chiang Mai.

A small street food stall with colorful umbrellas is surrounded by people and a person on a scooter at night.
