Creativity
I am often creative in my multiparadigm approach in personality style, as well as in my ideal and prospective communication styles alike. While I am often uniquely identified by my takes and interest on the technology industry juxtaposed with geography, mathematics, current events, politics, history, and other topics and skills, I also believe that I can imagine myself as an idealized polymath, with interests in not just my standardized lifestyle, but also divergences from my lifestyle.
A lot of my creativity of interest comes from the fact that I am neurodivergent and on the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, other factors should also be considered, as ignoring the distinctive characteristics of different types of abilities often results in overgeneralization and extreme levels of stereotyping, which I detest based on effectively every dimension of diversity. While society often expects me to be totally different from the “high-functioning” self that I actually am, occasionally scorning me with the label “disabled” or related labels, I believe that I am better off avoiding antiquated language over concerns about disability (I also have internalized rules and policies wherein I remind myself not to discriminate based on age, race, gender, sex, orientation, status, nationality, ethnicity, origin, or any other dimension of diversity in any way).
It is very unfortunate that we live in a hypercapitalist and excessively consumerist society, both of which I feel are traits of a cultural wasteland. I believe that capitalism is the cause for all loneliness causes that result from the modern tech dystopia, which results in feedback loops and shame alike. On a related note, I also detest the concept of suburbanization, as I believe that suburbia is a crisis that exists specifically to promote White supremacy, yet I also believe that racism is what is causing the climate crisis and human extinction. Politically, I can understand where I lean without any assistance from the outside world, simply through my extensive research and my historical figures of influence throughout.

Local school district to open Safe Sleep Lot as homelessness grows
Cincinnati Public Schools are opening a designated parking lot for homeless students and their families, allowing them to sleep in their cars while they seek housing. This initiative, part of a program called Project Connect, aims to provide a safe space and support for those experiencing homelessness. Being homeless has become illegal.
WTH has happened to this country when schools have to provide sanctuary for the homeless?

REPORT: Netanyahu quietly working to block Türkiye’s access to F-35s
Israel is reportedly using behind-the-scenes diplomacy to obstruct Ankara’s acquisition of F-35 fighter jets, citing concerns over Erdoğan’s past statements and the impact stealth aircraft could have on Israel’s early-warning and air-defense systems.
The effort is said to avoid open friction with President Trump, reflecting Israel’s preference for discreet pressure over public confrontation. nitter.net/ClashEdge/status/19…

The image shows a wide shot of a large, ornate gate and courtyard at Peking University, labeled as “West Gate, Peking University N509FZ”. Several people are visible in the courtyard, walking or standing. A red wall with a golden decorative pattern runs along the sides and back of the courtyard. There are green trees and a paved pathway visible. In the upper left corner, there is text that reads “RAOULL WALLENBERG INSTITUTE”. Below that is text that reads, "Our cooperation partners included Peking University, China University of Political Science and Law, and East-Lake Institute for Development. Over the years, we have developed a comprehensive development programme particularly in the areas of human rights and gender equality, anti-discrimination and the rights of persons with disabilities."

There’s this stereotype that only the US, UK, and Japan were making good video games during the 80s and 90s.
Truth is, a whole lot of countries had killer titles that are obscure to this day. Partially, this is due to platforms that were popular elsewhere. But mostly, this was due to language.
France had its own micro-computer platforms like the Oric. L’Aigle d’Or (1984) is a good example of this.
Atari 8-bit was popular in Poland. This is because Jack Tramiel was Polish Jew (survived the Holocaust) who was able to sell a good many Atari hardware while Poland was still Communist. Robbo (1989) is a good example.
South Korea is interesting because they rejected Japanese consoles entirely. As a result, the game development scene privileged DOS over Nintendo. Games like Astonishia Story (1994) look like JRPGs for the SNES. But be rest assured, they’re actually KRPGs for DOS.

And all of the interesting games for the PC-98. I get the impression that most of them still haven't been translated.

Jour 14 : #CalendrierAventPhoto2025
Le thème du jour « Les mains »
J’ai choisi de vous présenter 3 photos aujourd’hui parce que le thème m’inspire un partage écrit.
Une confidence je crois.
On va voir en écrivant.
Quand j’ai lu le thème hier soir, j’ai immédiatement visualisé dans ma galerie la série de #Photo #food dont est issu la deuxième image . Il s'agit qui d'une photo de la cheffe So’M en train de mettre en place d'une assiette apéro dans le cadre d'un service dans un bar tapas "Le Zambouya" à #SainteAnne.
Je me rappelle ce shooting improvisé où cela me fascinait de voir ses mains à l'oeuvre qui tel un pianiste orchestrait l'assiette composé avec précision, délicatesse, attention. La même assiette, chaque fois préparer avec une telle attention que ma galerie se questionne sur y-a- t-il doublon ou pas.
Cette image me rappelle que de nos mains nous pouvons créer, nous pouvons partager du plaisir pour autrui, nous pouvons fabriquer, transformer, mettre en valeur. Nos mains sont des outils magiques dont on oublie souvent l'importance jusqu'au jour où on se blesse, où on elle manque à leur devoir.
Je me rappelle ces discussion avec mon grand-père de son vivant qui m'expliquait la difficulté de mobilité grandissante avec Parkison, et moi qui racontait après à mamie pour l'aider à comprendre son mari, en faisant des parallèles entres ses ressentis de trembloteur et l'arthrose de mamie.
Bien sûr fanm doubout comme on dit chez nous, ma grand-mère avait peu d'empathie envers sa propre douleurs alors utiliser cela comme exemple pour l'aider à developper de la compassion de compréhension c'était pas ma meilleure idée, alors je leurs raocntait à tout les deux comment moi avec mon corps pourtant jeune, j'expérimentais parfois des blocages dans mes mains, me sentant démunie, ma main me lachait, le verre tombait et les larmes coulait car j'avais encore cassé mon verre, le préféré puis le nouveau préféré, puis la bouilloire. Mes mains me lâchait comme celle de Papi Ko sans comprendre pourquoi ni pouvoir y faire face, on apprends à ressentir et s'adapter, puis mes doigts se coinçait comme ceux de Mamie Toto et alors le travail de minutie devenait compliqué. C'est tout cela qui était dans ma tête et dans mon coeurs quand j'observe cette cheffe qui dresse son assiette malgré une sensibilité au niveau de son canal carpien. Je me rappelle l'avoir trouvé courageuse et passionnée.
En pensant à tout ces #souvenirs j'ai pensé à la dernière photo que j'ai faite de ma mamie, la photo de ces mains me montrant fièrement une cueillette de #fleurs de Tiaré de son jardin. Elle était si fiere de poser comme une mannequin main pour la photo, puis une seconde puis une troisième...
C'est mon dernier souvenir en image chez elle, dans son intimité, dans le cadeau de son temps. Les mains sont aussi un symbole du cadeau que l'on peut faire à l'autre car les mains donnent, les mains tendent, les mains propose et on peut choisir de disposer avec les notre et de saisir ce qui nous est tendu. Ma Mamie était très fière de son jardin floral car il avait été entretenu, planter, chouchouter par son mari. Papi lui offrait souvent des fleurs du jardin, ils avaient de nombreuse espèces magnifique, qui permettait d'offrir à mamie de jolie bouquet. Quand j'ai connu Papi en temps que Schae c'est mamie qui cueillait les fleurs pour le plaisir visuel de son mari qui souriait avec une telle nostalgie dans son regard.
C'est avec cette nostalgie que j'ai tout doucement pensé "Et moi qu'ai je fais de mes mains ?" : Beaucoup de choses, j'ai écrit, j'ai dessiné, j'ai fabriquer des étoiles, j'ai cuisiné et pourtant dans ma galerie c'est bien les mains avec ce signe que j'ai le plus capturé de moi même.
#peace car je crois profondément à la valeur de l'équilibre paisible. Ou alors deux comme les deux mois de Bibou date auquel j'ai commencé à prendre des photos de ma grossesse. Ou encore deux comme nous sommes deux avec la personne avec qui je pose. Ou parfois juste parce que je ne savais pas quoi faire et que mes mains agissaient comme un masque social antibug.
Cette #photographie que j'ai choisi c'est celle qui me rappelle une grande fierté, un déménagement express organisé avec nos mains à Papa Nounou et Moi. Nous avions pris la décision de vivre ce déménagement dans la paix, et nous avons mis en place de nombreuse stratégies, nounou était en charge du gros déplacement brute, de l'organisation avec les voitures, du ménage. Moi j'étais en charge d'empacter dans une logique qui m'était propre pour qu'arrivée je puisse rapidement installer la maison et faire qu'on se sente comme chez nous. Eh oui neuroatypie demande tendresse.
Cette photo me rappelle cette réussite, ce moment où on a pu profiter d'une soirée DVD installer entre les cartons sur mon premier vrai canapé. Nous étions fier, en paix et satisfait.
Selon moi les mains sont des pieds qui matérialise ce qu'on veut voir avancer.
Schae

Just completed my 21st event of the year as an art vendor, having moved here to Humboldt County in northern California eight months ago.
i’m deep tired.
But I’m proud that I did it. From shifting my career away from academia toward freelance art, I found a home that would encourage me and events where I could find my people. I started making work that was of interest to the people of my region, and learned a whole lot about what they wanted and needed.
These events have been exhausting and validating at the same time. I couldn’t have asked for a softer landing after choosing to relocate to a new home with no safety cushion, no acquaintances, and no orientation to the area. It was the most terrifying leap of faith I’d ever done. And it is slowly paying off—maybe not in money but in community networking and encouragement.
So I’m tired now. I’m going to pick up the pieces this next week and assess what comes next. Tonight, however, I am indulging in an adult beverage and a warm yummy comfort-food dinner or cheesy hamburger rice. And a good audiobook I’m enjoying.
Whew. Big time exhale.

Los tres principales enemigos de la vida familiar:
1. La decepción mutua entre los cónyuges. Una consecuencia directa de la idealización ciega del período anterior y del error de no discernir a las personas, de no conocernos a nosotros mismos y de no saber a quiénes realmente necesitamos y qué queremos de los demás. O esperamos demasiado de nuestros seres queridos y de la vida.
2. Egoísmo, vanidad mórbida y defectos de carácter: orgullo, conflicto, agresividad, irritabilidad, grosería, intransigencia, resentimiento, venganza, tacañería, envidia, desconfianza, celos y pereza. Posesividad, exigencias excesivas y mala actitud hacia los demás. Malos hábitos: lenguaje grosero, borrachera, tabaquismo, etc.
3. El aburrimiento y la indiferencia de los cónyuges entre sí.
