#introduction (updated for 2026)

I'm a writer. I write science fiction and fantasy stories. I also have a blog where I write about all the things that interest me: #money, #fitness and #exercise, the #environment, #freedom, #security, #Esperanto, #HEMA, #walking my #dog, etc.

For eleven years I was a Senior Writer at wisebread.com, writing about personal finance and frugality. Before that I worked as a software engineer for 25 years, first secure Unix then Bluetooth.

Well that was a morning & a half. First up when I went to leave to meet my friend for our walk, the car wouldn’t start & the Qashqai is nothing like my old very basic simple non computerised car & I don’t know what’s happening. I rang my friend to tell her I can’t meet her & why & then ring the RACV. They will be 15mins, which they were. A very nice man checks it out & tells me it’s just the battery & he will replace it for me which he then did. Then my friend rings to see how I’m getting on & I tell her that the car is now going & she asks if I still want a walk. Which I do - absolutely I do! So we finally get our walk around 11am & I arrive home in time for a late lunch. It was a lovely walk as well & saw this furry 👇🏼old fella totally unbothered by us walking past him🦘. Life doesn’t always go to plan, but it all worked out in the end. #Kangaroo #RiverWalk #Exercise

I cannot over-state how a single bad teacher can create a lot of harm to so many kids.

I have bottomless rage at having been
forced to spend about a thousand
hours of my life in “physical
education” classes that did not teach
me how to stretch, train, or even lift a
heavy box properly but did teach me
to hate exercise

Adrian Bott @Cavalorn

PE teachers can wreck your health. Dr Anne
Elliott found that bad experiences in school PE
actively deterred people from taking exercise
in later life & led to a state of alienation from
their own bodies. eprints.mdx.ac.uk/22163/

#Introduction
Ummmm hi! I’ve been on fedi since 2022 and have never done an introduction. How hard can it be?

I’m Lorraine, the family calls me RaeRae. I am #Mama to a grown son ~ my reason for breathing. I live with a precocious #parrot named Sherbert 🦜 who you’ll see a lot of. Sorry. If it makes me happy, I'm gonna boost it. Also sorry.

I’ve been officially #disabled for 12 years with a plethora of issues that’ll come out eventually. My best defense to adverse health is #exercise and I’m obsessed.

I am a lifelong #Democrat and recovering Catholic who hates bigots, bullies, hypocrites, liars and fakers. LGBTQIA+ #ally, music lover: rock, metal, alternative, grunge and some pop. All animals, especially birds. Big streamer, book lover (Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell, Anne Rice, James Patterson, Dean Koontz).
