@mkilby @mlevison I’m quite the digital tinkerer, and I find my attraction to plug-ins waxes and wanes. When I have more serious work to do, I focus on the #writing and #researching, and new plug-ins have little interest for me. When I’m focused on #Obsidian, I find myself spending a lot of time browsing plug-ins. So for me, “an extended and time-consuming interest in plug-ins” has become a red flag that I’m focused on the wrong things.

I pinned this post before, repeating here to capture a few things I'm interested in, in hashtags:

I think I should be able to re-post this pinned post when something materially changes. 'ere we go!

#GoodMorning
(actually, I'm still up)

These long days of #researching are consuming my time. Thought I'd check in, so you know why I'm quiet? #Genealogy

I'm playing heardle and going to power nap until daylight. I hope. MIND YOUR DRIVING #HfxTraffic #Halifax, it's been rain/snow icy/slush conditions during most of my research hours.

Are you ever curious about your family history? #Genealogy

As a child, I took a boat to where some family members once lived. I can vividly remember that it looked like everyone just walked out? A saddle was in the porch, a purse with coupons, on the table.

I haven't been back since. I'm told there's no sign of where any homes were.

At least 2 related families were born & raised, on islands in #NovaScotia

I'm currently #researching: #Cashman #Gerrard #Mason #McCarthy #Irish #England

One of the problems with #researching #torcs is that you start seeing torcs where you shouldn't.

You start seeing torcs everywhere. Things that aren't torcs become torcs, things that *are* torcs leap out at you. Friends will send you pictures of things that reminded *them* of torcs....

So beware. Torcs can become a habit.

Happy #Sunday folks!! It's good to torc! 😊

Hospitals have never been a favorite but had never thought much about them until my late dad had a #kidneyTransplant circa 2014? I think I was #researching #walkingPneumonia convinced dear old papa had it, when I came across #candidaAuris as I recall being careful to touch nothing

After that hospitals really freaked me out & I was intent on never landing myself in one

Sometimes a phrase jumps off a page and derails my whole train of thought, sending it spinning off in other directions. Very inconvenient when I'm #researching. Today's jarring word combination is "raw land", as put by a mortgage broker site.

As if the land is unformed until human intervention. Waiting in some primordial state to be shaped.

Reminded of #ecofeminist points re how the same language was used by men in power to describe women's bodies and the land (esp the "New World")

I guess I should finally do an #introduction since I plan to be here more often.

My name is jae (no capital j please!). I'm #agender, #queer af, and I use they/it pronouns. I am #disabled, #autistic and have #agoraphobia and #adhd. Living in so-called #canada with my partner, eight #cats and a big loveable goofy #doggo. I'm an #anarchist and #abolitionist.
Since I'm mostly homebound I spend a lot of time growing #weed and other #plants using #hydroponics. I also lurk around online right-wing spaces #researching and gathering info. Though I'll be the first admit I'm not the best at that but I do what I can from where I am.

I'm just going to list some hashtags of interests now since my brain is running out of things to say about me...

If I pin this, then I think I'll be able to re-post when something changes. Woohoo...
