Someone has been HAMMERING since 5-5:30am. Hilarious.
Clearly, someone’s internal clock is off.
(6:24: it’s stopped)
Yesterday morning there was drilling and hammering at 7:45 am. It lasted for about 15 minutes. Not the first time that happened. Doesn’t bother me, but strikes me as a little weird. (There is possibly some kind of workshop just above me.)
A kind of quiet and peace has come over me since yesterday afternoon. A heavy weight has started to fall off me. I have a feeling that someone somewhere is finally starting to see the light. I hope I am not wrong about this.
The nightmare isn’t over yet. That I can see. But the situation seems to be easing, somehow.
It’s been so massive, it’s going to take time to identify all the cogs and take them out of action. (Some of the bullshit’s probably been automated, too. If so, those scripts and algorithms would keep running on their own.)
God, I hope I am not wrong about this. I want this horrible nightmare to be over.
It’s unbelievable that most of England votes for these destructive nutcases, isn’t it… Imagine how desperate and disappointed you must be to want to vote for these ogres.
There is likely someone out there who has a valid-looking copy of my English driving licence. The issue number is not printed on the licence, unfortunately.
There’s someone in Portsmouth who looks like me. I stopped by at Portsmouth police one day (shortly after the Utrecht attack) and was told that I had already reported the matter and that police had even stopped by at my home. The counter officer stepped to one of the desks and I could hear them ask “Is it the same woman?”. They don’t check 🆔. Maybe nowadays they do. They refused to tell me anything as to who the other person had been.
While looking for a code for a software program, I just stumbled upon an old print in relation to a symposium I co-organized for women in science and technology in the Netherlands, with contact data etc for speakers, workshop leaders and panel members.
‘Op naar de top’
Symposium date?
17 November 1990… 😊
… when my printer paper was still tear-off. Dot matrix printers they were called, I think.
I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of Amazon’s hardcovers. 👍 I am not having this book printed on premium white paper (and it’s in black and white only). No need for premium white paper for this book. My flash fiction, that is printed on premium white, of course.
Once upon a time, the oceans were believed to be devoid of fungi. Only a handful of people, such as the Kohlmeyers in the US and a few researchers at what was then probably still called Portsmouth Polytechnic in England, new better.
“That just breaks your heart” wrote one of the latter, emailing with me, about this persistent myth.
In 1998, I organized a conference session on the topic. In Boston.
Available as a really cool hardcover too. See video below.
Can anyone let me know whether it’s actually available from Amazon? In the UK too? Am getting some strange errors about the ASIN codes not being valid. And he often plays these silly Jekyll and Hyde games where I put in a lot of effort and he then makes sure that it isn’t going anywhere.
Dude, the matte black cover for the paperback doesn’t work; it is very easy to get very ugly smudges on it. The grey cover works better for the paperback. I can unpublish it. But you are currently apparently blocking that… ?
The hardcover looks great. Also, customers, I’m happy with plain white paper versus premium. It’s probably more environmentally friendly.
Such potato head politicians include Rishi Sunak, Geert Wilders, Robert Gerald van Cortlandt Vernon-Jackson, Priti Patel, Donald Trump, Boris Alexander de Pfeffel Johnson and Suella Braverman
It was the Met Office’s decision. Storms are named by the Irish, British and Dutch meteorological services. For those of you who don’t know that it may be fun to learn that meteorology is one of the earth sciences. A fellow student called Diana, a pleasant woman who I did field work and field trips with, went on to become a weather woman after graduation. (Me, I wanted my own research group.)
It’s probably a really strange experience for English people to hear about, but when I walk around in the country that I am currently in, I see so much English that I was considering making a video about it.
This, however, takes the cake.
“Be surprised by every season” it says.
I continue reading and instantly experience a profound level of cognitive disconnect because it then talks about rust, privacy and comfort.
Eh, what?!!
They might as well have put “Jeu de boules, pizza, nasi, sushi” at the top of the 📃. It would have prepared me for the DNA in the sand, too. (The Dutch sucks too, btw. Say I but right outspokenlijk-like. It’s a partly lovely attempt at poetic language that possibly got messed up by the site editor.)

The kicker? You can stay at one of “de beachlodges”.
Like I said, I see a lot of English all around me. (Most buttons and so on, too, have English words on them.) Most of it is perfectly fine. The only negative thing that stood out before I ran into this was the misuse (disadvantageous ambiguity) of “little” in a business name. It may have been “little sunshine”.
Why do the Dutch do this?
Dutch has a much smaller vocabulary (but most Dutch folks make little use of the greater English vocabulary).
English is far more succinct. English takes up a lot less space, so you can get to the point and get it across much more easily.
It’s a tiny country.
Did you too expect that this “Sand” might be near Amsterdam or Rotterdam, perhaps and hoping to attract tourists? I was surprised to learn that it’s in the north east, closer to Germany than to the UK.
Oh. It’s not even cottages and such that are available for a stay. It’s an investment opportunity. Real estate. Property. So it’s case of Trumpianism.
(YouTube popped it up for me a few times. An ad. I got curious and clicked.)
As someone who recently became the target of three people (and relentless abuse from their entourage) who are more or less like this and (because I was stuck in that little enclave where it came from and which also enabled it all in the first place) hence had to start studying and contemplating what it may be like to be like this, and realized that diversity is much greater and more multifaceted than we tend to be aware of, I recognize many things in this interview. It surprised me, I should add, and it’s also reassuring because it makes me realize that my assessments tend to be right. (It’s part of why you get targeted. You understand.)
It also makes me feel very weary (exhausted) as well as wary. These people have a tendency to gobble you up, consume you. Everything is a game to them, on some level. It’s like they are in a James Bond film. They’re relentless. Or, can be.
A year or so ago, I spotted this on Quora and made a screenshot
Yes, the amount of chaos that they can add to other people’s lives is huge. When you interact with people like him, you also have to really watch yourself to make sure you are not becoming callous and manipulative yourself but remain true to yourself. It’s probably a sliding scale, a slippery slope. They can affect you before you know it.
Me, I’m done with it. I’m out of energy, out of life, now. I mean, kerrist, I would like to be able to support myself again, for starters, but when I do, it becomes so much more difficult to manipulate me, for example because then I can do things like purchase new computers and possibly finally be hacking-free again. The amount of manipulation I’ve been subjected to since 9 June 2008 has been staggering and sometimes pretty extreme (sometimes intended to manipulate other people with regard to me in order to be able to manipulate me but also sometimes intended to see if I could for example be manipulated into suicide). The cost has been tremendous. It can get really complicated.
For anyone who wonders, I’m a little under the weather. Probably fighting off a virus. Something like that. Am taking it easy for a few days. Kicked in yesterday or day before.
After the above, which had been on my watch later list for a long time, I ran into this one…
Her problems – except the autism as a challenge in society – stem from far too many people having looked away far too often, allowing her to be abused over and over and over again
I’m starting to get the sense that addressing the focusing illusion could be the solution to so much. I only heard about it, read about it, a week ago. I need to start reading up on it and explore it in myself as well to get a better feel for what it is. Is it tied to the altruism – psychopathy variation, for example? No idea. I don’t think that I do it much myself, but I probably won’t even know until I read up. I need to read up. It may not bring me any answers at all. It may be a disappointment. We’ll see.
The synopsis has him saying that maybe the world needs a major disaster to be able to appreciate the concept of democracy again.
I thought that the pandemic would bring people and countries closer. Even Portsmouth became tolerable during the pandemic and UK government politicians even stopped ranting and raving about migrants like me for a while.
Then that fucking lunatic Putin attacked Ukraine before the pandemic was over and all hope was lost. Next, the fucking CEOs of a few major enterprises saw an opportunity to make more dough for themselves because they’re so empty inside that this is all they had and started overcharging people big time to make everyone else suffer a bit more and now just about everybody in the goddamn world hates just about everybody else again.
Another major factor? No women. Marin is gone, Ardern is gone, Merkel is gone. I really miss the influence of Merkel.
The human species is doomed.
Now I’ll go read the interview to see if it contains any hope at all.
(Bottom line, more or less: if we get another Trump presidency we’re all screwed and yes, Putin was the one who started fucking things up again. If Trump disappears from the scene, we might have a chance. That reminds me. Yikes. Back then, I thought that there was a real chance that Trump might end up getting assassinated. I think it’s fair to say that this probability is likely far greater now. That wouldn’t be good. It’s a pity that SCOTUS won’t expedite the immunity decision. People have lost their compass. They need good leadership and we don’t seem to have it anywhere at the moment. That’s dangerous. I can see in myself how easily bad shit can start corroding a person’s soul and one’s trust in others. That I was hunted and obstructed so relentlessly for 15 years, as if I was a rat with a Hollywood exterminator on my tail, and got subjected to so much sadism, so much contempt, it’s changed me. I see all the knife crime that didn’t used to be there and have to ask myself where it all comes from. The whole greenwashing bullshit concerns me too. The new sales slogan is “buy more cool, hip, green stuff”, isn’t it. Even fake meat is becoming a toxic cocktail.)
I talk about some of this stuff too, in my book. The difference between what I was surrounded by in England and what I see in the Netherlands is so surreal that I had to avoid thinking about England for a little while. Why? My mind had trouble reconciling the two. It’s too surreal, how different it is.
When I read that there’s a Dutch woman who organizes a Dickens festival each year in which people dress up as if they are in Dickensian times, I felt a lot of anger well up. Dickensian times were times of great poverty, such that the term “Dickensian” refers to great deprivation. Nothing romantic about it. (Dickens was born in Portsmouth, by the way.)
I let go of the anger because the woman means well, but I still find it very sad. I think Dickens refers to this poverty in his work, too, though I am not at all familiar with it.
I’ve just uploaded the third and final edition of this. Maybe I should have let some form of AI edit it but I have a feeling that it wouldn’t have gone well. 😎 I may write a more forward looking book next, a how to.
Never ever ask for help when you (desperately) need help and certainly not if you’re being stalked, most certainly not if it’s by someone who has advanced IT expertise and is extremely cunning.
Only ask for help when you don’t really need help but are interested in what people might tell you that you didn’t know yet.
