  • 🚆 Boundaries at 300 km/h

    I’m on the speed train to Madrid as I write this. The world is flashing by outside the window — fields, hills, tiny towns that exist for a heartbeat and then vanish. There’s something poetic about that, isn’t there? Some things in life stay only for a moment, and then you’re carried past them whether…

  • La tragaperras en tu bolsillo

    ¿Has visto esas máquinas en la esquina de un bar? Luces parpadeando, pitidos agudos, la palanca que baja. La moneda desaparece y tu cuerpo entero espera ese premio que casi nunca llega. Ese subidón… no se queda en el bar. Está en tu bolsillo. Cada notificación. Cada “me gusta”. Cada desliz del pulgar para actualizar…

  • The Slot Machine in Your Pocket

    The bells ring first—sharp, bright, demanding. Then the cascade: coins clattering down the steel catch, spilling into the tray with that unmistakable cha-ching. People turn their heads. For a moment, you’re the center of the room. The one who just hit. The one everyone wants to be. That rush? It isn’t limited to casinos in…

  • Why Being Shady Isn’t the Way to Keep Your Energy

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we conserve our energy. Some folks believe that being shady—sarcastic, withholding, throwing side-eye, or wrapping everything in layers of snark—is a way of keeping their power. I used to watch it in others and wonder, is that really protecting them? Or is it just a slow leak?…

    I was bouncing ideas back-and-forth with my philosophy AI the other day, when I realized something: I’ve spent a lifetime living under dogmas that promised to carry my pain. Religion, institutions, authority figures — all of them were ready to take my anguish if I just handed over obedience, time, money, or loyalty. And when…

  • 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,…

  • 🖤 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.

    You be the judge if I’m acting or not. Use your AI to analyze my YouTube. Ask it what is happening with me. Proof! Remember when Airbnb meant quirky rentals in someone’s extra room? Maybe you’d find a guitar in the corner, a cat that might crawl into bed, or a handwritten note suggesting the…

  • Peace Isn’t Passive: A 2AM Story of Showing Up

    By Oddly Robbie Living Calmly Amid Chaos For someone with autism, navigating life can often feel like trying to tune a radio stuck on static—noisy, unpredictable, fragmented.
