It's my birthday. As my birthday present, could you do something _good_ for someone else without expecting anything in return? Give money to someone homeless, help a neighbor with a task, or something similar? We're _all_ in this together. Make the world slightly better for me?

The worst part of social media culture, no matter where you are on the internet, is how popular it is to be an aloof, snarky, cynical ass-hole. People like this are ostracized from social circles irl, but online it's like an aspiration. I hate it.

LeVar says one of the reasons he reads #speculativeFiction is "there is a longing to return to that which we came from." The stars. "Keep looking up, y'all" — LeVar Burton I gotta say. Firstly, starting listening after you finished gave me a nice time-traveling experience where I have only just […]

my method for getting the right temperature for steeping green #tea is to pour boiling water into a thick ceramic mug and wait to feel the heat on the outside. i eventually landed on this method when i was using a thermometer years ago.

#ActuallyAutistic what is your productivity time / rest time ratios for ideal days and realistic days? I heard 2:1 somewhere. not sure what mine is, but i do know i too often go over it. i need to set realistic limits starting somewhere and i am curious how you structure your days.

(a rant on culture) not the color; the marketing. i hate that my son won't eat out of a pink bowl and my daughter will *only* eat out of a pink bowl. i hate the marketing team who decided pink was feminine a hundred years ago or whatever. colors are not inherently gendered. i have a […]
