I nearly missed the fact it's been a year since I translated @… Meta in Myanmar series to Polish.
A year later, I can confidently say that series radicalized me quite a bit.
I've hated Meta products for a while, so not much has changed in that department.
However, re-reading the story of Rohingya ethnic cleansing over and over again made me grow plenty of sheer anger within me.
Anger over general injustice in the world and stuff.
My third 'era' of photography, involving documenting local activism, with particular attention to oppressed or marginalized groups (tenants, Palestinians, Belarusians - to name just a few) wouldn't have happened if I hadn't had my moment of disillusionment about the whole system we live in.
All of that because I started noticing familiar patterns I haven't been aware before. All stories that involve oppression, genocide, ethnic cleansing or any other kind of systemic cruelty started rhyming to me. Only the context and the environment kept changing.
Literally everything about my current life has changed around April 2024 and only now I'm ready to take a look at that.
Anyway. To all of you who want to read that once again:

En Espagne, l’étau judiciaire se referme autour du noyau dur qui a permis l’accession au pouvoir de Pedro Sanchez
Depuis deux ans, plusieurs proches du président socialiste du gouvernement font l’objet d’enquêtes portant sur des soupçons de pots-de-vin. Jeudi, M. Sanchez a dû exiger la démission de l’homme clé de l’appareil du parti socialiste, Santos Cerdan.

I noticed that OpenStreetMaps somehow lost Lake Michigan, so I went investigating. Apparently back in April somebody accidentally changed it from a "lake" to a "school" and it's taking months to be fixed across all regions/renderers.

"When the Trump regime took over in January and Elon Musk's data-raiders started hacking federal agencies of various kinds, a group chat in which I participate started speculating about what kinds of terrible things this crowd might do. One member of the group wondered if the hacking might include the Social Security Administration's "death master file" – a list of people, presumably deceased, who would not receive any federal benefits and whose names and other identifying information would be flagged so that financial institutions would refuse to serve them.
What if, the conversation continued, the infamously cruel and paranoid regime decided to add living persons to the death master list? Doing so would destroy people's actual lives – which might make it just what a vicious government would do."
