Now I’m just somebody that you used to know. Chronic. Overthinker. People Over Profit. Stay Curious. (But not too curious). I treat bluesky a bit like a sketchbook, Little doodles on every page, some more detailed than others.

The adhd mystery of “i know i put this in a “safe“ place, but where exactly is that? 🤔 I know the unique color of the envelope, I can picture the square shape, I can remember exactly the semi gloss texture, but where I placed it? No clue. 🙃

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.

I know there are a lot of different large groups gathering thru this whole month, and I would encourage those who can, to enjoy at least some things about life and fall weather and solidarity. Look for places and people to form community with (and please be covid conscious) and stay safe 🙏

It can be a really uplifting experience to gather with other friends and even strangers to walk around parks and enjoy changing seasons (where possible, I know there are some places with very unpredictable weather atm). Dress appropriately for quickly changing temperature, and be prepared. 🌱

is the rampant government corruption making you sad? is the capitalist grind getting you down? while October can have some unpredictable fall weather, it can also be a fantastic time to get outside and observe the world around you. Consider encouraging your friends to join you and enjoy autumn.🍂

Screenshot from a tiktok on my fyp with the following text

Nothing "normal" about this... Hacking and monitoring someone's devices, social media, personal conversations, and financial
information is NOT normal. Obsession does not even cover what this is. They believe they are entitled to access to you, your information, and your life. This is a compulsive need
for control over another person. Installing spyware, keyloggers, or tracking apps on someone's device without their knowledge is a
federal crime.
Digital coercive control often looks like:
- Unauthorized access to accounts and devices
- Spyware and key-loggers
- Location tracking without consent - Monitoring emails, messages, and
financial accounts
- Surveillance through smart home devices
This type of coercive control leaves a digital trail.

It’s not that the ttrpg world has a few missing stairs, it’s that there are entire staircases missing, When there are escalators or elevators for accessibility, you’ll find they are often broken or out of service. if you complain you’ll be told the industry isn’t profitable enough to fix this.

Decide to take my mind off of the horrors of 2026, and read a book about the strange tale of a woman, who gave birth to rabbits 300 years ago in 1726. To help set the stage the first chapter immediately dives into the massive economic and social disparities of the town & country she lived in. 😮‍💨

Countless people including athletes and really active folks found out the hard way that the more they tried to push through the post-covid exhaustion so they could ‘heal’, the worse it became. And yet you still get people insisting if you don’t do this, you’re holding back your recovery. 🫩

Protests have been met with unprecedented police brutality & mass detention: 1,949 on the 1st October, 90% minors. This exceeds daily arrest peaks during May 1968, Yellow Vests & 2005 & 2023. 215 injured kids. 15-year-old lost a hand; another an eye to a and another suffered a fractured jaw.
