It's #AceWeek all over again! I didn’t prepare anything special this year so I I just write a little about myself again.
It turns out I’m #asexual (#ace) the whole year round, not just during AceWeek. 😃
I’ve now been out and proud as #ace for about 3-4 years now. And I didn’t change my mind. It’s pretty much set.
I’m at a point where I’m pretty much *used* to being openly ace. Like, it feels completely normal to me.
I will never understand this weird annoying trend of "modern" UIs to replace checkboxes (which are always clear) with these confusing toggles.
Is it on or off! Is the "on" state to the left, or to the right? Don't know? You have a 50:50 chance to get it right!!1!1
(Yes, I know there is a definite answer to this question. My point is that it's not obvious.)
I publish the bilingual free culture #webcomic 👃👂 “Nose Ears”. It’s about the #absurd things in life.
This is a remix of the drawings of another webcomic and public domain images.

Less communication on social... or trying to chat towards better survival?
The #survival and health of primates depend on their success in complex social interactions.
People seem to want less communication on social...
Here's a #quote
" #Stress causes problems with processing of social #information, just like in humans.
This reduces the number of social partners with whom primates come into contact. "
from https://kids.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frym.2024.1220003
Ah - this might explain why people on social WANT LESS PARTNERS OR COMMUNICATION OR JUST LESS IN GENERAL !
IT SEEMS TO SOLVE THEIR EMOTIONAL TROUBLES but actually doesn't (the trouble still exist). So while more communication has it's troubles STILL in a human circle is does better to do more of it even though emotionally seems counter-intuitive (so like clamming up doesn't help, practise between all of us is needed as the increment... but also coming out of shell feels too risky I know...
Overall not much choice but to be pro-active and see you will be worse off doing less while the world is being hunted financially.
Sticking together in some sense is what I mean.
Our #family and #friends are TOO STUPID if all this time haven't "got it" on so many levels of life.
Hearing from us or seeing the world... you would have to conclude "Not caring and not emotionally intelligent enough" otherwise they would do / say,... something.
Ignorance allows evil to exist. Not just #Trump #USPol etc just the day-to-day shows enough about them...
Even the excuse that bad people evolved and have done too many tricks DOESN'T WORK when they do near-nothing.

#Intelligence = #Caring ? or #Ignorance ?
#EmotionalIntelligence
Our #family and #friends are TOO STUPID if all this time haven't "got it" on so many levels of life.
@wjmaggos I didn't vote for any of them because they are both two sides of the same globalist, zionist coin. Both sides of political spectrum seems to conveniently ignore aspects of their candidates that go against their principles. I just think that left has hit its lowest historical point with Kamala. She is a complete disaster of a politician who was installed without a single democratic vote. But as we previously established you only use democracy as an excuse to push your authoritarianism.

Ursula K. Le Guin fans and admirers: I’ve just been listening to episode 664 of the Coode Street Podcast, in which Julie Phillips, currently writing the authorised biography of Le Guin, talks about Ursula’s life and works and thinking, and how these interrelated in various ways. All sorts of stuff I hadn’t known before. It’s well worth listening to.

#Quote about #SocialMedia #Etiquette / #Notice / #Disclaimer
" Social media (at least on Mastodon) feels to me like a giant technical conference reception.
I'm surrounded by people with interesting opinions and can get into good conversations about anything, even unrelated things, simply by wandering past someone having an interesting conversation or by asking or stating something to whoever happens to be nearby.
Conference manners: interact freely remembering anyone can hear, don't be rude, and it's always ok to walk away. "

Degrowth in Scotland Handbook - Enough!:
https://enough.scot/degrowthhandbook/
People rather complain
More than stick Together and Do
#Fediverse. #Trump
Freedom. All things towards #Freedom.
Communication pioneer (only as most people don't do it at any depth)
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
