I watched a TV program last week about zero bill housing. It explored all the ways that some housing is being built or retrofitted to be so efficient- that there's no utility bills to pay. What I learnt amazed me. Passivhaus is an incredible standard, one that ensures houses are built with strict insulation, are air tight and can hold on to heat for days. More incredible still, is that old houses (with appropriate, albeit expensive retrofitting) can meet these standards too!

The overwhelm has gotten worse recently. Life is just... So fucking noisy. My autistic brain already struggles to keep up with life, let alone without all the war, fascism and doom scrolling. I wrote about this last year, and I was onto something. Consumption is the core of this brain rot. But so is the stress from everything turning to shit, being unemployed and stuck in life... Which also makes it harder not to doom scroll, thus the cycle spirals out of control. But I've recently found out my patterns have changed.

I've been thinking a lot about accessibility. The physical world is so inaccessible: lack of dropped curves, pedestrian hostile towns and cities, and heavy doors to multistory buildings with no lifts. Its built by abled, for abled people, forgetting we will become disabled at some point. The disabled among us? We're often exhausted by this inaccessible world, we lack the energy to leave the house. For myself, my disability isn't as physical, but I still find the outside world incredibly draining: unreliable transport, loud and brightly lit environments, crowded spaces and lack of of seating. Naturally, a lot of us are drawn into the digital world.
