My /dev/random needs more entropy, so this is an invitation to all of you, whether I've ever met or spoken to you or not: if you would like to schedule a chat with me, DM, email or use the schedule link below and we'll set that up. There doesn't have to be a reason or agenda. Tell me about yourself or your project, favorite recipes, beat poetry, politics, philosophy, plans for 2025, or we can just stare into the (void *) for a bit and see if we can freak it out.

Alonso's Words of Wisdom

Be ungovernable.
Be your true self. Resist others' attempts to change you.
Live in the Now.
Never Lose Hope.
Never Give Up.
Consider taking a nap.
Be kind to others. A small lick on the face will suffice.
Sausages could come at any time. Be ready.

Heard the story of the girl throwing starfish into the ocean? A man watching her says "don't you know there are miles of beach and you can't make a difference?"

The girl bends down and scoops up another starfish and gently throws it into the ocean, turns to the man and says "it made a difference to that one".

I often think of this story when world events make me feel powerless. I can't help everyone, but I can help *someone*.

So... if anyone needs me to throw them into the sea, I'm here.
