Mindless games
Counting sheep as a concept for relaxation never worked for me because a numeric inventory feels to my brain like a serious task. One “game” I have used with zero stakes (to me) was just coming up with strings of words:
Sassafras
Xylophone
Arrivederci
Bottleneck
Unlimited
Harpsichord
Huntress Wizard
Salivary
Onomatopoeia
Perspicacious
Breathe
Ferry
Merry

Etc.

#SafeSharing #PassItOn

@vlrny
I’m promoting the idea of sharing any generally pleasant thought and ending with a prompt:
—
My grandmother used to always have ICE MILK in the freezer & that’s something I’ve never seen as an adult.
—
Please reply with anything at all. Possibilities: Have you had a class or a job that was more fun than work?

(I removed the hashtag ChainLetter because that implies tagging others. That’s a possibility but I want to see what happens organically.)

#SafeSharing #PassItOn

@vlrny I think a fun tag to promote #SafeSharing might be something like #ChainLetter or #PassItOn. The idea being that people would share totally random things like:
—
I used to hunt shark’s teeth but it frustrated me and hurt my neck spending all my time at the beach intently looking down so now my goal is to pick up any broken shells that catch my eye.
—
Please reply with your own random fact. Suggestions: food or a childhood vacation.

Join Timothy Quinn, founder of the Dark Data Project (darkdataproject.org), at #IAC23 to hear more about the design, storage, management and safe sharing of “non-user” data as part of a greater “non-user experience (N/UX)”, with a particular focus on the challenges of protecting the identities of vulnerable populations.
