  • When I was in Greece, I made a list of things I need in my life to be happy. A way of finding my priorities for a situation that felt unsustainable. The list has 15 things and I decided to choose three to focus on. It's been interesting to see how over time, slowly but surely, space in my life is made and without realizing it, I take on a new one. Today the sixth spontaneously emerged. It always feels like an occasion.
    Still working on that sleep one though

  • Okay, well, here me out. If I did make all my phone calls right away, then how would I feel the crazy relief I feel when I finally do them?
    Same for my to do list!
    I feel such a weight lifted.

    But I do think the phone call thing comes from in part that I have an accent and French people get weird when you have an accent.

  • donthatedontkill quoted House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

    "When revisiting children, places we once frequented, it is not unusual to observe how much smaller everything seems. This experience has too often been attributed to the physical differences between a child and an adult. In fact it has more to do with epistemological dimensions than with bodily dimensions: knowledge is hot water on wool. It shrinks time and space."

  • I think that does it!
    ✅ Mastodon account migrated
    ✅ Old bookmarks and block lists imported (only 3 people blocked apparently! The fediverse truly is a different kind of social media)
    ✅ Some of my old posts migrated via api
    ✅ Auto repeater from my site in place
    ✅ Account added to fedilab

    There's a few technical things I'd like to look into though. And for some reason, the verified statuses on my sites haven't been added. But those are minor details I guess. #fediverse #fedilab

  • "Lingva diskriminacio estas ofte ne rekonata de tiuj, kiuj diskriminacias kaj eĉ de tiuj, kiuj estas diskriminaciataj.”

    "Linguistic discrimination is often unrecognized by those who discriminate and even by those who are discriminated against."

    If you've been following me & my frustrations in France, I think you'll see why this touches me.

  • Lately I've been stepping back from a lot of social interactions and obligations. Part of it is because I have many projects going on (including a possible mass tort lawsuit... not against me, don't worry). Part of it is b/c I hit a bit of a wall and I'm still finding my way over and around it. I'm trying to set aside the fear of being forgotten or people thinking I do not care about them and let myself do what I need to do in this time for my peace and serenity, and it seems to be working.

    Well, in my experience, a lot of people don't know what being autistic actually means so I guess it depends on what kind of relationship they have you that word but really, I consider how they take it not really my business in a way. Like it's a fact, whatever they think of it. Much in the same way that I don't really think too hard about whether someone is accepting of my queerness. It is what it is, whether they accept it or not

    Also maybe it's my Dom, BDSM side coming out but I think he was the kind of guy who is used to guys eating out of this hand and I set him packing only to take home the nerdy sweet anarchist who actually treats me like three dimensional human being. You skipped empathy day, bro!

How I'm Spending My Free Time

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

Cover of House of Leaves

A young family moves into a small home on Ash Tree Lane where they discover something is terribly wrong: their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Of course, neither Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson nor his companion Karen Green was prepared to face the consequences of that impossibility, until the day their two little children wandered off and their voices eerily began to return another story—of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams.

Total playtime in the last two weeks
