unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

[nonimaginaryfriend]

bonus it ALSO fills that dopamine hit of in-person shopping. “oh I didn’t go in looking for this but hmm, I’m tempted… I can’t resist… oh ho ho I have made some irresponsible decisions at the library today [carrying my stack of ten random books]” and then it doesn’t even matter if you don’t like them because a) free b) you’re gonna give them back anyway

[grumpy-cardigan]

Librarian here! Please please please please PLEASE do this! We don’t have any way to know if you read them, and we don’t care! We’re happy to see those books go out because that helps our stats. And that affects how much money we can get.

So grab that silly paperback romance, and maybe this new YA fantasy, oh and check for the new movies too! And don’t forget to check Libby and hoopla for music and ebooks and e-audio.

#i love that on the check out reciepts for my library it also says how much the books would have cost to buy#because there are days where ive checked out so much it would have been $100-$200#so i really get that big purchase feeling and didnt spend anything via @mossiestpiglet

Yes!!! And you can ask the librarians to look up how much you've saved since signing up! Since I moved to Florida in 2016, I've saved something like $1300 by using our library system for books and dvds!

popular holotuber spacebomberguy has uploaded a new five hour video essay! it starts as a critique of the new “dress like a senator” fashion line and it’s place in pro-republic clone wars propaganda, before spiraling into a discovery that chancellor palpatine is a sith lord!! reactions on the holonet are mixed, with macewinduofficial declaring the video “necessary viewing for all of coruscant” while anakinskyyyy3534 replied to a link with “TLDW”

it's always bad for adults to interact with minors, which is why when I was born my mother was positioned at the window and I was birthed down a giant slip n slide that safely transported me to the hospital grounds, where I was quickly accepted and raised by a gang of feral babies who were born under similar circumstances. and that's why my posts are so bad

Pick whichever one you need to hear most today

You are so much more than the mistakes you have made

You are not your intrusive thoughts

You are not a failure

You are enough

You can get through this

The progress you’ve made is amazing and deserves acknowledgment

You are deserving of love

It’s ok if you fall backwards. It doesn’t erase your progress

What order do you take pills in?

If you take more than one kind of pill at a time, what order do you take the pills in?

In order of how important I think each medication is

In order of size: largest first

In order of size: smallest first

In color order

A secret, fifth option

I don't take any pills regularly

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

no one tell him

This is it, lads. The post that started us on this path 9 years ago.

I sure hope no one told him.

[geekandmisandry]

An autistic friend of mine just said this to me “The harder I work at communication the more people expect from me and the less they are willing to compromise.” and it is the most fucking heartbreaking thing I’ve heard.

[wetwareproblem]

This is very much a thing, though - and I’m sure people across the board with other disabilities can verify that it happens to them, too. People will turn any progress you make toward being “normal” - no matter how straining or difficult it is for you, no matter how little it actually helps you - as either inspiration porn, or proof that you don’t really need accommodations, you just need to “apply yourself! :)))))”

[adhd-hippie]

Also they fail to acknowledge that the improvements you make are actually a continual battle so any backsliding on your part is seen as a personal failure rather than as perhaps a symptom of a separate issue which makes it impossible for you to keep fighting.

Example…as a person with ADHD I struggle to get up on time.  If I have a good routine that includes external motivation I can get to a point (usually after about a month) where I’m up on time regularly.  However, any break in my routine Christmas break, a Monday holiday, a week of vacation, summer break (I work in education) ruins my routine and then I have to start all over. 

The thing I hear most often is “why don’t you just keep getting up early” they don’t understand that without external motivation the battle to get up early is nearly impossible for me to fight.  This is seen as a personal failing, not part of my ADHD and I can’t budge people on it.

[incognito-insomniac]

Oh my god. @adhd-hippie, I also struggle with getting up in the morning as does my other coworker with adhd. I legit thought this was just my fault for being to tired and not wanting to go to work. Like i have been able to get up early before so why not now even though in every other aspect of my life i am kind to myself because i know habit forming is 1000% more difficult with adhd. i know transitions and sleep are hard. i know lack of sleep doesn’t help. i know my adhd was making getting up harder but never once considered getting up a whole symptom upon itself.

I thought i had a pretty good handle on how my adhd effects me and where my limits are, but the above post is so eyeopening. Thank you for talking about your struggle. hopefully i can be kinder to myself about getting up now.

[geekandmisandry]

Even some doctors I go to are just like “well go to bed earlier”. Sir, sir, listen…that didn’t work when I was on ADHD meds and it sure as fuck don’t when I’m actively taking them.
