• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It can be both. Usually authorities try to evacuate people before the fire approaches too much, but sometimes wind comes up and spreads the fire faster. Some places are very difficult to access, with narrow curvy roads through flammable forest. Sometimes these roads don’t get closed down quickly enough and people get trapped. Mountainous terrain on fire gets chaotic easily.

  May this be a fresh and moist summer, may the water stay around and keep us safe!

  This whole pic is such great art. I wonder what this bear has seen. Have they been to the kids camp? Diabetes. Not even once.

  It looks civilized, but is it really? Alligators should never be stored so close to electrical equipment! The bad electric vibes can make them aggressive.

  I have a deal with the ants in my garden. I get to grow vegetables on their land, they get part of the vegetables and don’t destroy everything.

  I think the use of ‘-powered’ in a job description is a clear indication that you are applying for a bullshit job.

  I moved into a traditional farmhouse in winter and thought it was rather strange that whoever built the house had built it right over a stream that flows all winter till way into April through the ‘loja’ (a kind of half cellar built into the slope). Now I know it’s a natural AC, the room remains cool even though the sun is hitting the front wall all morning. So luckily I won’t have to make that kind of investment any time soon.

  (In winter the stream probably kept the animals clean-ish by permanently floating some of the piss and shit layer out of the stable, while plant matter kept being added on top. The fermenting mass would keep stable and top floor warm.)

  I had seen a few of these houses and had my doubts that people would just be so stupid as to accidentally build on a water line. Thanks for coming to my info dump.

  Tldr: evaporation cooling good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trans or genderfluid, do you think? Even though only I’d know.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like this. I sometimes worry for the youngsters who so urgently want to have a label. I’m 46 now and have been so many different people throughout my life. I have been looking sometimes like a girl, sometimes like a boy, and doing both girl and boy stuff. Transition just wasn’t really something easily accessible when I was younger so I didn’t consider it. I’ve identified as bi throughout my life because that was the label that existed at the time but never made it my whole identity. The only thing I wish would change? That the perception of ‘boy looks’ vs ‘girl looks’ and ‘boy stuff’ vs ‘girl stuff’ would disappear from public perception altogether.

  I want to wear my dress, then pick up the tools, then knit a scarf, then dye my hair, then protect someone, then nurture someone, then love someone, then wear the pants, then be the boss, then be the pet - and I want all of these to be non-issues that are not gender-related. They are just human things.

  I know this reads a bit like ‘It’s just a phase’ - that’s not quite it. I’ve been proudly weird and non-conforming all my life and that has never changed. I just sometimes suspect the time for the torturous soul-seeking of young folk who urgently need to know whether they are boy or girl could be spent in more pleasurable ways. You don’t need a label, you can be who you are on each single day, and that might change quite a lot throughout the years.

  Calming herbs: lavender, lemon balm, lime (linden) tree But any herbal infusion is probably better than coffee (and often cheaper). Chamomille, green tea, fennel for example you might find in a shop, they are not necessarily indicated as anti-anxiety, but still better than coffee.

  From my own experience, quiet indoor activities that involve sitting are not so great for anxiety. Moving, talking walks, being outdoors, especially in nature, work wonders. What grows in your area? Maybe the anti-anxiety medication is right there (happy to help with identifying the plants you find).

  Also, non-native needs to know the difference between ‘further’ and ‘farther’ …

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paper Towels - Cube Or Sphere?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You probably meant ‘further’ but I was wondering for a while if your comment counts as inverted dad joke in its current state. Also, which paper plane? Inquiring toddlers need to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is it about Mark Zuckerberg's appearance or demeanor that creeps people out?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I know what he means. There’s a certain too-much-ness, a weird stiffness around me and other neurodiverse - you wouldn’t notice it on a good day but it’s certainly annoying for others. I’m not really capable of normal social interaction in groups at all (groups = more than 1 people present), and I might fake it for a while but it becomes clear after a few interactions.

  Finally someone else says it. I’ve come to think the same in recent years. Keeping us isolated (and also diagnose us with or encourage self- diagnosis of mental illness) is all too convenient for those in power to keep us small.

  Lots of good advice here already, especially regarding IFS, which is a therapy approach that works with splitting one’s inner monologue into a conversation between different voices.

  Since a lot of commenters seem to equate inner voices with schizophrenia or psychosis I’d like to let you (and them) know it’s not that unusual to have inner voices with different personalities! I found my inner voices very helpful to deal with my mental challenges and this never turned into anything uncontrollable. I had a similar very critical inner voice which I then recognized as mainly being my mother’s way of criticizing me - even after I went no contact with mom, she was still occupying space in my head telling me everything I did wrong.

  The way out was really simple, CBT-based: a therapist reminded me to be kind to myself and I just practised - like giving myself an inner hug every time I used the unkind voice and remembering that kindness to myself is important (not beating myself up for being unkind!), and to avoid self-deprecating humour. It just took some time, maybe a year, and now I see clear improvements. The voice is pretty much gone. At the moment I have no need to separate into different voices and feel quite at home within myself. Hope you get there soon, you seem a be on a good path towards it!
