Oddly Robbie — Tech, Humanity, and Quiet Futures

Writing, VR, and AI through an autistic, humane lens.

Click and let’s have a chat!

A quieter way of thinking about technology, humanity, and the future

This is a space for reflection, experimentation, and care.

I write about technology, neurodiversity, sustainability, and what it means to stay human while building what comes next.

You’re welcome to explore slowly.

  • The Myth of the Autistic Flock

    by Oddly Robbie I had a moment recently in Inner Worlds (a very good VR platform for people who wish to just talk about life challenges) that left me a little steamed. A well-meaning moderator—sweet tone, bless her—wrapped up her shift by inviting me to the autism group. Nice idea. Bad fit. I tried, gently,… Read more

  • Don’t Tell Me to Look You in the Eye — Unless You’re Ready

    🖊️ by OddlyRobbie — One of One Preface: There’s a strange pressure in this world to look people in the eye. A social ritual. A signal of truth. But for folks like me—neurodivergent, hyper-attuned to the emotions you think you’re hiding— eye contact isn’t just a glance. It’s a floodlight. So I wrote this for… Read more

  • A Nostalgic Nibble: Real Food and Forgotten Flavors

    Remember when food was simple and honest? Cucumbers, salt, dill—pickles! Ingredients you could pronounce without feeling like you needed a chemistry degree? I sure do. Foods didn’t have to hide behind mysterious 17-letter chemical concoctions just to taste good. They didn’t sit preserved in suspiciously vibrant states for months on end. They were fresh, flavorful,… Read more

  • 🖤 No Kings. No Silence. No Turning Back.

    What was meant to be a day of symbolism — No Kings Day — has now become a day of mourning. Two respected public servants, Minnesota Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed in their home. In a separate but clearly coordinated attack, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette… Read more
