I mean... it could be down to the complete lack of people in big old empty buildings, and knowing no people are likely to disturb my peace...

Infrasound (along with the effects of liminal spaces) could explain why people feel spooked in big old empty buildings like theatres, schools, hospitals, grand churches.

But... I find these spaces pleasant. Is there a subset that reacts differently to infrasound? It would explain the mixed results of infrasound investigations.

What might be the Venn diagram of that subset and #actuallyautistic #adhd #audhd folk? #askingautistics

Infrasound is my weighted blanket 😆

Spooky feelings in old houses may be caused by boiler sounds, study suggests

Inaudible infrasound from old pipes and ventilation systems may affect how people feel, research indicates

One of the cooler things I saw in the Corning Museum of Glass was this chandelier made of blue glass butterflies. The butterflies are actually made of recycled solar cell material, and they're wired up so that the chandelier lights up with no external power source, the power is supplied by the butterflies themselves.

My favourite genre of "spooky things caught on film" videos are "ghost hunters get spooked by strange noises in what is clearly a squat, but keep investigating until some poor guy has to wail like a banshee at them while hiding in a cupboard".

They'll find half drunk bottles of cola & beer, the remnants of rollies on a table in a room with a mattress & bedding, & say things like "this is so weird, why is all this here?"

I will scroll through 100+ items in an Internet search looking for written instructions before I'll ever even consider watching a 1-minute instructional video.

Today has been an absolute clusterfuck. One of my hens was grabbed by a fox & spent two hours in surgery. So that was expensive. She's home & feeling sorry for herself but doing okay (she's 9yo!). Then someone managed to clone the bankcard I haven't used for two weeks & expires at the end of tomorrow to spend £460 on Ticketmaster. Then the banking app was having connection issues & the chat bot was absolutely useless.

It's nearly 5am and I have to be back at the vet at 2:30pm but brain is fried

Reminder to everyone on the TL for 2026: It’s going to be another tough year. Don’t forget to have some fun, and don’t feel guilty for it. You need it to survive.
Your occasional reminder that headlines make a lot more sense once you realise that ‘the economy’ is just short hand for ‘rich people’.
