My friends were asking me about whether I might move to Portland and I said I already get seasonal affective depression in San Francisco
I wake up most mornings in SF ‘winters’ and feel sad and honestly quite depressed that the sun isn’t blaring hot in my face from 7am so
I think I can move a little bit north every two years
There’s a non zero chance that when we retire I’ll want to live by the equator again. It’s just much more comfortable for me. I miss sweat and heat. And smells and colors and lots of people and many other languages and the joy of being fed by people everywhere. The equator will always be home
I did a photography show and tell about exactly this!!
@skinnylatte finally a sustainable and rational solution to climate change
@skinnylatte I'm trying to think of the most homogenous equator country to be cheeky
@skinnylatte I really need to move to a warmer climate, the PNW everlasting clouds really are taking a toll
I think ideally somewhere 80 degrees and 80% humidity 
( though I was thinking more island, less equator )
@ramiro San Diego?? :)
@skinnylatte might be a good compromise until I’m ready to leave the country, but it’s still colder than I like
I was thinking some place that’s Am or Af on the Koppen classification, which in the states I fear only gives me Florida
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I feel like the green makes up for the excess of grey.
@julie I want to feel that way, but im not built for lack of sunshine since I also expect sun plus green ;)
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io Totally fair. You're from the equator where there's plenty of both.
@skinnylatte One of my projects for the next year is to build a 500W sun lamp, with the proper reflectors so that the light feels like sunlight. That should put 200W on one's skin, and 300W into the air as heat. Not efficient, but I think it's possible with an awkward but not impossibly large device.
@aredridel i would love that!!
minor! @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io i honestly just need rain and clouds. like b'lore monsoon with the water pebbles falling on the corrugated steel roof? beautiful. floating mist in portland? wonderous.
@skinnylatte 10,000 lux sun lamps are pretty cheap these days, have you tried one?
@hyc I have a few
@skinnylatte what's the verdict, useful or not?
