Hi! I'm allie, I'm a transgender person in the PDX area who lives with my spouse, our kiddo, and two cats. I'm into old computer stuff, electronic music making, and a wide variety of other things.

If you tend to pontificate and speak out into the void, I'm less inclined to follow you.

In honor of the late Robert Redford, "Sneakers", in high def ANSI with full subtitles:

If you run Firefox (or any of the forks), run uBlock Origin. Many ads are malicious. If a site won't open or won't function properly because you're using an ad blocker, leave the site. It really is as simple as that.

Oh friends, the World Tram Driver Championships are happening in Vienna right now, and streamed live on Youtube and if you were having a bad day, now you are not, because there are earnest people who earnestly just want to be really good tram drivers because public transit is HOT

The home you live in says a lot about who you are. Your personality, your hobbies, your interests. Whether it's the climbing gear hanging in the hallway, or the hiking maps of the Pyrenees on the dining table, or the fantasy books on the shelf. It's part of who you are. All a white carpet and white sofa and absent shelves and empty walls tells us is? Is what exactly? You really like cleaning or can pay someone to clean for you ? I don't get it.

just like to point out that ouija boards are cheap, have very little environmental impact, predate chatgpt by over 100 years, and are just as capable at telling you what you'd like to hear

they may be harder to use at first but with a little dedication most people should have no trouble getting the results they want

#Neurotypicals: You need to be bored. Next time you go to the gym, don't listen to that podcast. Just try to be in your head for a while. Maybe you'll think about the meaning of life, and maybe you'll figure it out.

My #ADHD brain trying to unload the dishwasher without a podcast: Hey, Remember the intro to Clifford the Big Red Dog? That song? You sort of paid attention to it for a few seconds while our kid was watching it. I remember those 5 seconds. Let's sing that intro... just that first part though. We're just going to keep doing that, over and over, hundreds of times in a row.

Neurotypicals: People don't like to be bored. People will give themselves electric shocks to not be bored. They don't want to think about the big questions

You Need to Be Bored. Here's Why.

A friendly, gentle PSA:

Especially if you consume a lot of news these days, please be aware that all of the fear and uncertainty that is scrawled across every headline and is the basis for everything coming out of Washington activates the limbic system in your brain. That's the deep animal part of your noggin that puts you into a survival-panic. The evolutionary purpose of this system is to shut down the logical parts of your brain and make you run, *now*, to survive.

The actual, literal objective of the firehose of terror they're drowning us in is to put as many people as possible into limbic system burnout, a state of long-term, perhaps permanent, limbic system activation. So, please, check your timeline and your posting habits. Consider the ratios in there of joy to fear--and adjust things toward joy, going forward, if you need to.

They need us to feel vulnerable all the time.

If you're in limbic burnout, you can't fight back.
