0Sekhmet0Meine ersten Loops sind da.
Ich glaube da muss ich mich erst dran gewöhnen.
Hab schon auf xs gewechselt, da drückt es zumindest nicht mehr so doll.
Aber es ist total irritierend wie laut ich mich selbst im Vergleich zum Rest höre.
César PoseAspasia was the teacher of Socrates, one of the greatest philosophers in history.
In a similar way, although with the big difference that I am not Socrates, my mother, who barely knew how to write, taught me to read when I was 3 years old.
In the many tests they gave me, they asked me how and why I learned to read at that age. And I answered that I saw children going to school and I wanted to go too, I saw my father reading and wanted to read too. Then I had my appendix removed and to keep me entertained my mother decided to indulge me and teach me my first letters.
A month later I was already reading everything I could find: posters, books, magazines, advertisements.
My father loved to read and bought books, entire encyclopedias. When I was 8 he bought a collection of 60 books and then 40 more books at a used book fair. So, between the ages of 8 and 10, I read those 100 books.
From Borges and Unamuno to Kafka and Poe. I read Papillon, Robinson Crusoe, Trafalgar, Cortázar, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Kant, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche.
Many of them weren't to my father's liking, but I liked them. One day he threw away a book with Chinese characters, and I rescued it and read it; it was the Dao De Jing.
Then came books on science, physics, biology, and astronomy.
I studied engineering, medicine, philosophy, and programming.
But it wasn't until I was 47 that I learned I was bipolar and gifted, and not until I was 59 that I learned I was autistic.
But if for a moment you might believe that this brought me success and happiness, I'm telling you it didn't. Rather, I had a worldview that made me a misanthrope, a nihilist, a loner, and a pessimist.

Oh good, I can go to bed soon.
Wait. I haven't had supper yet. Thanks, brain.

Amalia ZeichnerinInteressanter Beitrag zu diesem Thema, bei dem ich einiges gelernt habe, z.B. warum ich oft Alben oder Playlists so gern in Dauerschleife höre, bzw. immer wieder.

#AskFedi — Looking for a platform recommendation!
I help lead a small nonprofit supporting #neurodivergent #students and #parents. We are 100% volunteer, and we produce a few different series of events throughout the year.
We need better ways to communicate with (paid) members and (unpaid) “friends”.
What platform/tools could I use to, for example, let someone RSVP or express interest in an event series, check the box to get auto reminders and text notifications re: all events in that series. For example: “event is tomorrow at 9am. See you there!” or “it’s raining! We’re meeting at x instead.”
Ideally this platform could also do email. One-off campaigns/blasts with simple segmentation (members and/or friends) and maybe some automations (like a welcome flow for new members).
We can pay a reasonable amount; doesn’t have to be FOSS/self-hosted/linux/etc. 😜
(I’ve asked a similar question here before, but I think we have made progress clarifying our specific needs.)

Please help, EMERGENCY mutual aid, need $225 now
We have one more appointment this month, and need to pay for both it and yesterday's by the end of the month (Tuesday). That's four days to raise the last $225. Please help! I'm very scared and need to be able to continue treatment.
Please help. We've been getting lots of boosts but only a few donations this past week and we need this to stay alive.
Please boost, and if you can, give. You're saving our lives.
Thank you for reading.

M.S. Bellows, Jr.Serious Q: is there a form of dyslexia or processing disorder that makes it hard to even see (words in parentheses) in a sentence? Because Lyricdancer just read a sentence with a parenthetical insertion four times out loud and skipped the parentheses every time, and then when I asked her to read all four words on the first line of text (the fourth being inside the parens) she read the three then paused for several seconds before going "oh!" and reading the fourth. She says she just couldn't see it, like gold dress/blue dress. Weird! #NeuroDivergent #NeuroScience #dyslexia
In related news, my face is itchy dialled up to 11 and if I was forced to work in an office I would have a very hard time not explaining, carefully and with perfect enunciation, why I would very much like to punch the person who decided now would be a good time to get in said face for no apparent reason.
Pretty sure I'm (conventionally) unemployable at this point, friends. Lots of skills, zero tolerance for nonsense sigh.
Thank you for your bandwidth. And yes, I just took an antihistamine and I will hit my deadlines.

Commissions are still very much open! As of posting, my partner and I have less than 48 hours to raise the funds for a week of shelter (we also have other needs), and have to raise a minimum of $300 within this time. I appreciate any support, and besides commissions I also have a bunch of things in my shop!
