May 2022 is no more. May has been [one of the driest months](/post/2022/05/drought) in decades here in Belgium, and while June traditionally announces summertime, temperatures have suddenly dropped and rain finally started to pour out---marginally. The weather continues to be unpredictable, strange, and negatively influence to my mood. Recent worlds events---a continuing war that endangers human lives and the world economy, yet another Texan a shootout, weird political decisions when it comes to energy saving and financial support---all these facts don't exactly brighten anyone's day.

But let's try to focus on the good parts of being alive, such as learning new things ([on learning a new language](/post/2022/05/on-learning-a-new-language)) and playing with our cats (or is the cat playing with us, Montaigne? [Life lessons of Bonnie the Cat](/post/2022/05/the-life-lessons-of-bonnie)). I regularly catch myself aimlessly scrolling on Mastodon, desperately wanting to read some _good_ news or stumbling upon meaningless but joyful things instead of being confronted with nothing but bad news. It helps that it isn't a cesspool like Twitter, but the negative effects of "being online" and zoning out are something I have to watch out for.
