September Looming
Just for the records: The first morning of the year on which I had to turn on the lamp at my desk when starting to work.
Alone in the woods
At least, that would be my answer as a feminist, and simply based on my own experience. Because there is nothing in this life that I have learned to fear as much as cis men. I actually make a certain distinction between trans men and cis men, simply because I assume that growing up within this toxic male world is not something you necessarily want or are able to carry over into your own life, even though there is supposedly no issue with socialization, as so many people like to claim. In essence...

I have no recollection of flying over the car.
The road to recovery
Camino de Santiago: sanctuary and path to healing.
Worrying Signs of Getting Old
I've noticed these signs of getting old in the last few days: Weird technology mistakes: on Saturday I just wanted to add one of our family gatherings to my calendar on the iPhone. I typed "Family gathering" and the phone helpfully used all the information from an old family gathering, (2019!) copied them into the...
Bull by the horns
The essential business of trying not to crash, stall, or fall off.
Rolling thoughts
The village is perfect, but only if you can escape at will.
Pre-digital
My generation is unique in that we bridge two very different worlds.
Homesick for virtual places
The "Years Ago Today" plugin on my blog just reminded me that I linked to GTA V GeoGuesser four years ago. I clicked just for a laugh, oh, maybe I still remember, haha - and I wasn't really prepared what a deep feeling of nostalgia and (I guess?) homesickness this would trigger.A long time ago...
Four wheels good, two wheels bad
Throwing money at an old car is a bit like burning the hull on a steamship to feed the engine.
Make your Gmail more private
Proton, the Swiss encrypted and privacy-aware email service, now lets you read and reply to your Gmail emails from within Proton. If you're looking to wean yourself off Gmail, or just curious about trying an alternative, this could be a good place to start: anyone you reply to will still receive your messages as Gmail,...
Connected to the ATmosphere
My social media hangout of choice is Bluesky - now, this website talks to it. I think. WordPress have released an ATmosphere plugin allowing me to post directly to Bluesky from here, and maybe even suck comments back in, using the protocol Bluesky is built on. I, er, think that's good?

Stranger in a strange país
They say travel broadens the mind and loosens the bowels, and I can attest to both.
Painting rosebushes
My father, on seeing my painting, seemed slightly startled, “Did you do this”?
The Incredible Shrinking Man
The world starts seeing him as a freak, and eventually everyone thinks the cat ate him.
Birdbrains
The back yard was an explosion of black and white splatter. A Jackson Pollock hellscape.
Hello world - How a Vtuber Rat made me keep going forward
It's been a while since the last time i blogged! (i think it was 2008~ or something like that), no being a social person kinda had me at the time to make little scribbles to post and talk about mundane things that happened during my days, but as internet just become more and more about "being the popular one" instead of "being around what i'm interested" it just got way less comfortable in my own space, which sucks cause i love helping people out with things, and it got harder and harder to do i...
Alienated Impostor
What if OCsky was an accident? What if Graphic Design was a fluke? My achievements feel like prisons.
My Posting Pains
Sharing became a stage, my peers became unwilling judges, and I developed a phobia of tomatoes, and even silence.
