Charta Nautica
When I was a kid I stammered heavily. I realized soon that my tongue was unreliable and unfit to fully express my thoughts and feelings. So, I didn't talk much or at all but I still felt the need of verbal expression. Naturally, I got hooked on written language. I was fascinated by the magic of speaking through letters, so much that I was obsessed with learning as many alphabets I could get my hands on and adapting them to Italian. As I grew older I still found myself being quite silent; the obsession for alphabets has turned into an interest for languages; but the passion for writing is still there.
Some important changes
August 13th, 2025
Since the beginning this place has been hostage of two contrasting tendencies of mine: my willingness to share at least part of the words that float inside my mind, and the fear of doing so. The Greater Internet is more and more a wild and scary place, and the worst part is that I've undoubtedly internalized much of its verbal violence.
But, as my weariness and disgust grow, so does my determination to leave that place as much as possible. I can see clearly the damage that social medias inflicted on me, but also I can enjoy now a greater strength and confidence in myself. I know what I want to say, and I'm not afraid of saying it.
So, a few important changes are in order. First of all, topics (i.e. tags) will be more fundamental from now on; still, there will be some kind of changelog or feed page, where updates and edits will be listed by time. All of the previous content will be archived: as I see it now, most of it is basically irrelevant and superficial. I will be talking about sensitive topics, like politics and religion: the ban is lifted. Finally, I plan to keep this section of my capsule entirely in Italian, because I think it's very much underrepresented in the Geminispace; and because - being closer to my mind and to my heart - it's more apt to convey what I intend to say. I am sure no one will complain.
