I seems like I am dreading going to my job more each day. So, I take it as a sign to jump ship. All the time I expect to be chastised. It is not a good way to have a job. I am on the hunt for a new one, however nothing has surfaced. Kymmie -

I'm currently on the ballot for an open US Representative seat in Portland Oregon. Here are some of the news stories on me: Rachel Lydia Rand on Ballotpedia: https://ballotpedia.org/Rachel_Rand#Campaign_themes KATU 2 (ABC) Know Your Candidates 2024: Rachel Lydia Rand https://www.katu.com/news/know-your-candidates/rachel-lydia-rand-d-congress-district-3 League of Women Voters Candidate Forum for US Representative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOoS39CTEOw KOIN 6 Written Interview | top issues, what's going right https://www.koin.com/news/politics/rachel-rand-on-running-for-district-3-top-issues-whats-going-right/ League of Women Voter's Interview with Rachel Lydia Rand https://youtu.be/V5o9RKE3WVo This is my third time running for US Rep. Campaigning is very challenging for me because I only have two family members still alive and I've spent less than 2 weeks with them in my life and I have virtually no social network to start with and I don't belong to any social media sites. I haven't even been able to post here and on sites like it because of rules about self-promotion. I'm boldly saying in these videos that I want to be appointed to vice-president in the next 5 years. My platform is about addressing climate change and everything that comes with it. Population decline is the number one proposal I have and it is very, very scary and controversial for most people. The way I see it is that oil is more than a fuel we burn in our cars, it's a substance we pave our roads with. And it will run out, so at some point in the future, most of these roads are going to go away and we'll have a much harder time distributing food. I play chromatic pennywhistle and I'm this iconic whistleblower politician saying that we will not be able to support 10 billion people at the end of the century on wind and solar power. Even solar panels are made with oil and there isn't much difference between a wind turbine and a dam. If we can build skyscrapers and nuclear power, then you'd think we'd be able to figure out how to make a wind turbine 100 years ago. It's simply not as efficient. The numbers I've crunched say that if we have one child for every two women for the next 40 years and then go back to normal replacement rate, we'll get our population down to 2 billion by 2099 which is where the world was at in 1950. If we don't do that and stay on this current path for the projected 10 billion by 2100, then when oil runs out and climate change raises sea levels and floods coastal cities, humanity is going to be in a very uncivil situation. I'm sorry that I'm not making a huge issue of transgender rights. Of course I'm here to support our community. I'd be highly visible on our national and international scene as a transwoman. I tend to focus on engineering realities rather than these social issues. It upsets me that people take engineering for granted. People tend to just get in their cars and think that there will be some space age technical solution that will make it all OK. OK, that's my rant for the day :-) Coffee is on. 4:26am. The ABC station is interviewing me again in a few hours and people can vote for me today. Please consider spreading the word. I'm only one person and it takes an incredible amount of effort to keep my political thinking and platform going. Sincerely, Rachel Lydia Rand Jazz Musician | Software Engineer -

Absolutely. Being able to encourage, to help, others is so empowering. I've been helped by so many people over the years, I love being able to pay it forward. -

Good morning, everyone!! A busy day ahead for me - need to cut the grass and then pick up the clippings. The grass grows so quickly this time of year. I cut almost 7 acres so that will take up most of my day. At least I can get some sun on my legs and arms!! Time for another cup of coffee as I catch up here. Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.
