Heyooo, I'm Tove! I'm an old computer poker with more interests than time (autistic and probably ADHD). Some of the more recurring ones are software dev, microelectronics, whittling, knitting/crochet, reading, political science/anthropology/sociology/history/etcetc and games.

I am terrible at social interactions and seems to have developed social anxiety in the decade or so of really bad mental health I'm just about crawling out of. Initiating contact with others is very hard for me, so might not do it often. Also, I will probably come to the conclusion that reaching out to someone makes me a bother or annoying or just too weird, so for their sake I refrain, usually.

But will absolutely try to engage if others take the initiative! (Probably badly. Fair warning.) Initiate contact and you'll probably become my favourite person!

Keep being the awesomeness that you are! <3

@vicorva how about recognition from something you worked hard on? Got the physical books delivered today and they're looking great! :3

Working on my own political theory. I'm calling it anarcat. It'll involve lots of naps, free food and and fun toys. Also more naps. And cuddles.

So a hat in this style that when the "foldable-ear-tab-thingies" are released they pop up into animal ears of your choosing. Could someone make this happen?

I genuinely think the worst thing the internet did to reading was convince people that finishing books is a competitive sport. You don't need to read 52 books a year. You just need to read. Books you like. At your own pace. And think about them for longer than a TikTok video.

Getting into bed with fresh sheets, after a bath and with a clean apartment and clean clothes (already put away in their proper places, on the same day as they were laundered?!?!) is the absolute best! ​​

I suspect we're gonna have to be a little careful when terms like "tankie" is being thrown around.. Like, is it a genuine (non-anti-communist propaganda) critique, or is it being used as a tool to keep the left divided, to keep the infighting going 🤷 (whether it's used for this purpose knowingly or not)

Is there, like, a #transgender #sewing / #tailoring / #dressmaking community somewhere online?

I always thought the expression "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" sounded weird, since.. you know.. you can't actually do that? Like, you can't pull on your bootstraps up some stairs for example.

But it turns out that the expression started out as a parody of what it now is for, to express how impossible it is for everyone to just work hard and become billionaires or something like that..

When economists insist that they too are scientists because they use mathematics, they are no different from astrologists protesting that they are just as scientific as astronomers because they also use computers and complicated charts.- Yanis Varoufakis, economist (from Talking to My Daughter - A Brief History of Capitalism)
