This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers: a snapshot of what I’m currently focused on.

Location
Living and working in Berlin, Germany.

Writing & Research

Questions from the SmallWeb:
- A reply to Forking Mad+ (🐘) asking: Do you tell people you blog?
- "What tools, hardware, and software do you use to get things done?" by the /uses movement started by Wes Bos (🐘). Here is my answer.
- "What would you tell a friend you hadn’t seen in a year" by the /now page movement started by Derek Sivers (🐘). Here is my answer.
Another blog page where I wrote my assumptions
WorkLife in Germany or section/page for the future.
Restarting and reorganizing this blog under its own domain (educatedkanak.de).
Working on ongoing essays examining German language coursebooks, migration narratives, and the everyday mechanics of institutional accountability and structural racism.

Digital Life & Setup

Figuring out how to deal with Impressum and Datenschutz Obligations. If you know about the subject in the case of non commercial personal blogs in Germany please get in touch!
Trying to build a privacy-first, self-hosted digital ecosystem (Ghost on PikaPods, Nextcloud, Goatcounter and the Fediverse) with very little knowledge. For the full list of software, I rely on, see my /uses page.
Engaging with readers and fellow writers primarily over on Mastodon.

Currently Reading / Thinking About
