ABOUT THE WEBSITE

"Pochemuchka" was created during a period of healing for the sitemaster. I had spent the last year of my life torturing myself over the death of a friend, two terrible relationships and the loss of two different friend groups within six months of each other. 2022 was spent alone, working in a dead end job with no end in sight and only alcohol and weed for comfort. It wasn't until about May of 2022 I started weaning myself off of them, starting to find joy in my old hobbies of sketching. However, my hobbies lacked a mental aspect. I felt like I couldn't think in any of them. I wanted something new, and began looking. Lo and behold, I found Neocities.

The website has morphed a lot since I made it, getting a style update a couple months back. It's been an effort of love, of thought, of caring for me. Each and everything on here is a testament to a new step in life, one I hope continues to keep getting better.

About Me

Basics

Chandler + 25 + they/them + White + Bisexual + TME + Marxist-Leninist + Atheist

Aside from the basics, there's really not much more to say about me. I tend to hang around other socialists, avoid conflict unless I see a chance to help someone see the errors of their ways or discuss finer points of a topic to come to an understanding. I've been told I have a flat effect when I talk, and that my explanations are easier to grasp than most. I like to consider myself someone easy to get along with, but I don't tolerate bigotry of any form and will call it out. I don't mind "putting others in their place" but it's less from a position of authority and more just finding certain behaviors rather unbecoming. I don't hesitate to speak my mind, but I try to tone down more passionate explanations to avoid any misunderstandings, leading to overexplaining myself. I enjoy beer, poppies, the spring sun and running at dusk.

When it comes to educating others, I take a hands off approach, allowing others to develope questions naturally and try to answer as best I can, and if I can't, someone I know through various social media platforms can. I have a "required reading" page for fledgeling socialists to get a start and who happen to stumble upon my site. Feel free to shoot me an email if you do have questions. Again, if I can't answer it, I know someone who will.

"But what do you do?"

I work at a small, nonprofit shelter in Texas as pet care and behavior specialist. I happened to stumble into this job when my friend's sister suggested I join her after hearing about how I despised my job at a motel. I now focus on building animal confidence to make them more adoptable to the public, as well as curbing unwanted habits such as needless barking and jumping. When I'm left to my own devices, I also train animals to do basic tricks.
