For submariners

There might be very little support resources for us among the plethora of support/care/healing/guidance/empower/discover/transform things. We have trained for eons to operate locally/self-reliantly. Not counting on support to reach us. Not expecting to receive stuff. To figure things out entirely within the confines of our vessel. And those are not bad things or failings. This is where it can get…

Tinkering curiosities

Continuity

Contributing to continuity and access is no less than having invented the thing in the first place.

The peaceful educator who treats teaching like a craft

I wish I could simply run/jump/hop about on the beach in the morning as exercise.

Without having to do any of the 'legitimate' or 'established' exercise routines like Yoga, Pilates, official/real exercise movements and such. I wish I could just throw or kick a ball around on the beach in some mornings and for that too to be counted and accepted as a form of physical exercise and movement.

Some contemplations of mine brought to surface that engineering has attracted associations with destruction, extraction, injustice,…

Extending the fantastic idea that was to engage in 'pretend play' with projectors, slideshow community gatherings and so on, today I started a new blog called Pretend Shopping on Vinted . It's where I - exactly as the blog name says - pretend shop things on the used-goods marketplace Vinted.

Another small rabbit-hole: privacy-focused messaging services

Just discovered Threema today from another bear blog. It rekindles the attention/interest/rabbit-hole tendencies around privacy-focused messenger apps and so on. Threema, Signal..well, that's all that comes to mind now. As tangents, Tuta and Proton comes to mind.

A recurring rabbit hole: de-Googled Android

This happens at least once in two months. Where I snoop around used Google Pixel phones and think/fantasize about: installing GrapheneOS comparing LineageOS, /e/OS and stuff think about using F-DROID and Aurora Store think about nothing Phone for some reason imagine how that life would look like This stuff keeps coming every once in a while and I absolutely go down the rabbit hole for about an…
