Oh he’s QUEER

What is it about him that I find attractive? The see-through shirt? The chaotic energy, like a trickster spirit let loose in a kitchen? The sense of humour? The child-like sense of wonder? The way he looks so comfortable inhabiting himself and being himself? The cooking? The humility of admitting that something tastes good when he was expecting a disaster? The...

His live streams are wonderful. Love when someone asks if he supports lgbtq cuz his response is always along the line of 'Oh honey, I am very gay' or 'I am what I like to call limp wristed'

The one I love was the one where someone asked if he had a girlfriend.

He never actually managed to answer. He was laughing too hard. Every time he managed to get out like half a word he’d just go off laughing again. The chat had to fill the asker in.

me, an autonomous adult in college: *looks up tips for managing adhd on a deadline*

every single result: AS A PARENT to help YOUR CHILD WITH ADHD monitor YOUR CHILD'S behavior and reward HIM for doing work because CHILDREN WITH ADHD need constant support-

I'm not even exaggerating.

YEP. As far as I can guess, we're supposed to either "grow out of it" and become perfect facsimiles of neurotypical people, or else assumed to be so impaired we're incapable of living independently or using the internet. That we might be adults reading this shit doesn't occur. The only people who actually talk about ADHD to people with ADHD are ... people with ADHD.

Something I learned talking to other adults with adhd is to get into routines - but not like, wake up, exercise, breakfast, then work sort of routines; but more

Wake up to your phone on the other side of the room so you're forced to get out of bed to grab it and do your morning scroll for social media

Have your meds in a visible area like in the fridge next to the milk or juice that you drink every morning or beside the coffee pot so you take them with your morning coffee

When you want to do homework, tidy your space, get a drink, put shoes on, then start work - do this every time until your brain registers the physicality of that routine of tidy, drink, shoes to equal 'work now'

If you have a pet, feed them around the time you want to have dinner each night - that animal will register the routine and help you stick to it.

Want to remember something but apps, reminders, and notes don't seem to work? Write them on your bathroom mirror or buy a whiteboard and stick it in your kitchen. And dont write in black - write in your favourite colours,or in multiple colours, and don't deny yourself the chance to be silly with the whiteboard. If you designate it a work only space, you'll never use it - so draw on it, write quotes on it, be silly with friends. The more you use your whiteboard, the more likely you are to read the important reminders on it. :)

People with ADHD need routine but neurotypical routines don't work for us because a lot of NT routines inherently rely on having the executive function to get moving - we don't have that. We need mental triggers to spark that, something that grounds us in the moment and helps spark the intention into productivity.

.

Also, hack for motivation to clean?

Set a timer. How many things can you clean up in the space of five minutes. Race that clock. Get free serotonin in beating a timer while also maintaining your space.

I don’t remember what wonderful person noticed this but since ADHD was thought of as a boys’ and young men’s problem for so long there was an expectation they’d grow out of it, and maybe the reason their symptoms seemed to vanish on adulthood was because adulthood coincided in most young men with getting married to a woman whose duties initially chiefly concerned organizing his life.

Since women and girls have only been getting the Dx for so long, there’s no track record indicating it doesn’t spontaneously resolve in most of the affected population.

!! 3K DTIYS !!

Thanks everyone for 3k followers I'm super excited!!! I was trying to decide what to do for a DTIYS. I really thought it was gonna be my Ranboo design, and then for a bit maybe Ran or Jackie, but I actually decided to pull one of my old arts off the shelf. I kinda hate it ngl. BUT!!! This is where you guys come in!!!

DO THIS BETTER THAN I DID!!! His anatomy is wonky, his expression feels forced, his eyelashes are really weird?? The dialogue takes up way to much room??? GIRL HELP!

Rules:

-COLORS must be in the same range. You don't have to eyedrop it, but stay within the palette. aka: Cool shadows, warm lights, oranges and blues should be your mains, with yellows and cool purples for more vibrant lights/shadows.

-POSE does NOT have to be the same, but the EXPRESSION should stay as close to the original as possible which is a wide-eyed, slightly manic, elated smile.

-DIALOGUE does NOT have to be in the direct image nor does it have to be a speech bubble. I actually really don't like how much of the original image I covered up with it, which is why you are allowed to COMPLETELY REMOVE IT.

USE THE TAG #METFELL3K SO THAT I CAN FIND YOUR ART!! AND PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE @ ME IN YOUR POST BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANY OF YOUR WORKS!

This DTIYS is gonna run from September 19th, 2021 to October 19th, 2021. And that's so if I hit another milestone, I can run another one! (I may do one for Halloween, so... ;] )

Have fun!

Deck prism!

YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Sure thing! I remember being so surprised at HOW much light they brought into a space, when I first saw them in action.

The yellow light is artificial but the blue is from the deck prism, on a cloudy day.

The group Liter of Light helps light the homes of impoverished people around the world with a similar invention: a clear plastic bottle containing a liter of water and three milliliters of bleach. They’re placed in the roof of the home much like the deck prism and “refract the light from outdoors into the house, lighting up much like a light bulb.” They can be used to replace kerosene lamps, which are both a fire and fume hazard.

Since the bottle only works with sunlight, Liter of Light came up with a solution for night time. Huffington Post stated, “by slipping a test tube with a small LED light bulb into the bottle, which in turn is hooked up to a mini-solar panel, the bottle can still refract light during the day, but then also be used as a light bulb at night.” They also make streetlights!

Back when I worked at walgreens I didn't know witch hazel was a real thing people would come in asking for it and I'd be like yeah it's on aisle 3 next to the wolfsbane and eye of newt you fucking idiot bastard

By talos this can't be happening again
