I am
David B. Himself
- Frenchman speaking English in Japan.
- Writes things. Tries to be better at it, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
- Teacher
- Hopes the world doesn’t end soon. Not too optimistic.
- Father of two little angels that drive me nuts.
- Monster in the classic Dr. Who.
- Bollywood action movie anti-hero.
- Wastes too much time on social media.
Yes, I know, I have too many social media and blogs/sites!
Well, this page is to help you figure out where to find me. 🙂
Fediverse
I think the Fediverse is the only possible sane future for the social internet and its various media and networks.
If you’re not sure what it is, please click here.
You can find me on Mastodon talking primarily about Japan, pop culture and more.
PixelFed is similar to Instagram but better in many ways and… also on the Fediverse!
Loops is to share short vertical videos, but not dependent on some unreliable company.
There are more places where to find me, but those are the main ones.
Corporate Social Media
I’m doing my best to escape it, but it’s difficult to be entirely free from it.
If you’re on Bluesky and you really insist on being there, you also follow my Fediverse accounts on BlueSky thanks to Bridgy Fed (you should bridge your accounts too, click on the link):
A few words about Threads. If you insist on using that thing, know that you can now follow pretty much any Fediverse account from Threads, including the ones listed above. You just need to allow sharing to the Fediverse in your settings. Please, do it.
Blogs and Sites and more…
I’m a contributor to Wild Zooo. No, it’s not just shitposts, there are also cultural things and a little more.

- Christmas Season is Over (for now)
(this post was originally posted in Glitched Earth) Now that Christmas season is over, it’s okay to play it. You may or not be aware of Whamageddon, a silly game that’s been catching up online lately. The detailed rules are in the link, but in short, you need to “survive” from December 1st
Glitched Earth is a blog and a newsletter. It’s also a journal of the 21st century.

- David Bowie
It’s funny how when people ask me who my favorite singer or band is, I almost never say David Bowie. I usually say Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, or Explosions in the Sky, depending on who I’m talking to. Yet a day rarely goes by without my
The MetaStructure is a concept that will or will not make sense one day. In the meantime, this is where I post most of the fiction I write.
You can also find my short story “Is There Life On Mars?” on Ko-fi.
Latest post:
- The Big Picture
“Dad, what was that ‘big picture’ you were talking about earlier?” “The one that many people missed just before everything fell apart.” “Could you be more precise?” “Are you recording now?” “Yes.” The old man cleared his throat, took a sip of water, and prepared to share another chapter of his story, as they… Read More »The Big Picture Source

The Swamp est la continuation de mon tout premier blog, il y a plus de 20 ans. J’y poste encore des trucs (cette présente incarnation a 15 ans environ)
Article le plus récent :
- Châteraisé ? Mais qu’est-ce que ça veut dire ? Ça y est, je perds mon français !
Il y a peu, j’ai posté la photo suivante sur divers réseaux sociaux, blaguant sur le fait que je me demandais ce que ça pouvait bien vouloir dire, et que j’habitais depuis trop longtemps au Japon, et que je commençais à perdre mon français. Mais même s’il m’arrive parfois de chercher des mots
