Welcome to my second monthly recap! Incredibly, I managed to keep up with this update system for the second month in a row.

Without further ado, I’ll tell you about my work on Vocal and my progress with my Pinterest profile.

As I anticipated you in my previous update, I wrote an article about the horror anime “Another”, and I finally published it on Vocal. So, if you are curious to know how you could survive in the anime, check it out!

This month, I also made a copy of my article 4 Healthy break-up songs from mainstream artists on Vocal, which I linked in the Medium version as well.

As you can tell, it has not been a very lovey-dovey February for me, content-wise. While I’m trying to structure my work a bit more, I still go with the flow when it comes to my inspiration, so I kind of expected such a situation to happen at some point.

Now, let’s move on to Pinterest. As a way to offer you extra content, compared to my profiles on Medium and Vocal, I created a public board entirely dedicated to content related to my articles, in case you want to do further research on a certain topic.

It contains any sort of medium, ranging from articles to videos, but I want to stress the fact that none of these media are mine, I just gathered them together to make your research easier. As of now, there are not much media, but I’ll add more in the future.

That’s not the only board I created on Pinterest. I have been a volunteer translator for Global Voices for more than a year, and I plan to translate more articles for them.

As they get published, I will add them to this specific board, where you can also find the link to my public profile on the platform. If you can speak or read Italian, check them out! It will be not only appreciated, but you might also learn something more about situations that do not get much media coverage from mainstream outlets.

Indeed, Global Voices offers the opportunity to learn more about countries that you don’t usually hear a lot about. So far, I have translated news from China, Burundi, Kenya, and Georgia, and educated myself a bit in the process. Also, feel free to support the original creators, if you like their word and/or speak their mother tongue!

That’s all for this month. I do not have a specific plan for March, yet. Honestly, I’m always taken by surprise when February ends, it’s such a short month!

Regardless of this, I hope I can bring you more content soon.

What have you done in February? Do you have any plans for March? Tell me in the comments!
