It's been said before but I'm saying it again: being mentally ill and very self aware of it is extremely annoying because it's like:

My Brain: You are worthless and everyone is making fun of you.

Me: Uhh, no? I just had an extremely minor, low stakes misunderstanding, and everyone was very cool about it. It's fine. No need to panic.

My Brain: [immediately dousing itself in cortisol] You don't get to decide that. Now I'm cancelling all of the dopamine and serotonin. You can just sit there and think about your unforgivable error.

Me: Wildly unnecessary, but ok I guess

One should always have at least 2 craft projects going. That way, when one of them is messed up and misbehaving, you can switch to another, and let the first one sit there and think about what it's done.

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

Sometimes (oftentimes), when a creative project is "misbehaving," it's because it is tired, and overstimulated, and just needs a time out to rest -- like toddlers often need.

And sometimes, you should give your creative projects time to talk to each other, as well as to you.

[nydescynt]

Instructions unclear; my 17 ongoing craft projects have unionized against me.

i love adhd. i have a lot to do at work today. i take my meds. i open the word document. i immediately misspell “benzodiazepines.” i go on tumblr to post “benzodiazepenis….” for the mutualés. and then it’s 45 minutes later and ive caught up on tumblr and checked the weather and read a fic and texted an ex and ordered new pens and looked up a recipe for chicken pot pie and posted about adhd and done zero work.

This year for Rosh Hashanah my rabbi pulled out a literal ven diagram and taped it to the podium (exciting) and then proceeded to explain that in life things are often true AND in conflict with eachother. She then got extremely vulnerable about some things that are true and in conflict for her (called a vent diagram).

These were a few of hers: She loves Judiasm and feels connected to all Jewish people. She is a queer female rabbi, and much of the orthodoxy wouldn't accept her work. She feels hopeless that there will never be any peace between Israel and Palestine. Hope is always there and peace is always an option. She believes innocent Israelis have been the victim of horrific attacks. She believes Israel's government has done great harm to create, perpetuate, escalate the situation.

She did this for ten minutes of nothing but spitting straight facts.

Her bravery was really inspiring and really put what I've been trying to do into words. Holding it all is so painful, so challenging, but it is good work and work that must be done to live with both compassion and justice. To ignore any sides of the diagram would provide a lot of mental relief but it would be a lie of comfort and convenience at the cost of others humanity and denial of the real situation. We have to hold it all.

Truths can be in conflict and still true. It's hard but it's right.

hey remember how awhile back i mentioned that tiktok has a whole trend where people mix cleaning supplies well i redownloaded tiktok so im finally able to show you what i mean

[diet-soap]

I put my bare hands in this sink and get a chemical burn so bad it oozes and bubbles nonstop for days

[bathroomcube]

i have GREAT news for you

Cleaning TikTok: We’ve mixed the perfect cleaning solution! 

Everyone Else: You’ve created mustard gas is what you’ve done. Your lungs look like you’ve just returned from the Western Front. 

[ferrousferrule]

Jesus fucking christ. One time I accidentally mixed an ammonia scrub and a bleach spray and gave myself a migraine in 15 minutes how the fuck are they even still standing.

Time for a health and safety lesson.

See below for a chart on what household cleaners to NEVER EVER MIX EVER OR YOU CAN (AND WILL PROBABLY) DIE OR OTHERWISE BECOME EXTREMELY FUCKED UP AND NOT IN A FUN WAY BUT IN THE HOSPITAL AND/OR GRAVEYARD WAY:

The above is not a complete list, but these are extremely common in most households and therefore are the most likely chemical fuck-ups to occur. 

DO NOT MIX HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS. 

DO NOT MIX CLEANING AGENTS.

DO NOT MIX CERTAIN ASTRINGENTS. (HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS OFTEN IN FIRST AID KITS OR WOUND SPRAYS AND CAN CAUSE A REACTION IN SMALL AMOUNTS IF MIXED WITH THINGS IT SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH EVEN ACCIDENTALLY ON A SURFACE ETC.) 

DO NOT MIX ANY CHEMICALS THAT YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE ARE SAFE TO MIX. (SPOILER: MOST THINGS ARE NOT REALLY SAFE TO MIX AND SOMETIMES COMBINING SAFE ONES ACTUALLY MAKES THEM LESS EFFECTIVE ANYWAY, SO JUST DON’T COMBINE THIS KIND OF SHIT!) 

YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT A CHEMIST. PLEASE DO NOT TURN YOUR KITCHEN/BATHROOM/HOME INTO A LAB ACCIDENT. 

IF YOU ARE A CHEMIST, YOU SHOULD STILL NOT FUCK AROUND. MANY OF YOU DO NOT RELIABLY USE YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES OR THE CORRECT TYPE OF SAFETY GOGGLES. (IF YOU’RE THE TYPE OF CHEMIST WHO DOESN’T ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN YOUR WORK AREA, I WILL NOT TRUST YOU WITH BLEACH. COMPLACENCY KILLS.) 

CONCLUSION: STOP MIXING CHEMICALS! 

YOU ARE NOT PROFESSOR X, AND YOU WILL NOT END UP CREATING THE POWERPUFF GIRLS. 

YOU WILL ONLY CREATE A NEW INVOICE FOR YOUR LOCAL FUNERAL HOME. 

I AM YELLING AT YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU TO BE SAFE.

TO ANY DUMBASS TEENAGERS OUT THERE, I WANT YOU TO SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME DUMBASS ADULTS. 

PLEASE DO NOT DIE.

Hey, this actually very useful information to have if you are a kid or otherwise don’t know.

[bettsplendens]

I feel like the “may cause death” part on that chart needs to be majorly bigger. The descriptions of the first two sound like they’d be unpleasant, but “unpleasant” doesn’t cut it. Needs to have a way bigger “THIS IS HOW THEY KILLED PEOPLE IN WARS BEFORE IT WAS OUTLAWED” warning. 

[waxwork-daughter]

okay, well. I admit that I am salty that the mean girls rosh hashanah october 3rd meme got 11,000+ notes in a week but if you post politely begging people to listen when told they're using blood libel and to please remember that jews are human beings, like practically doing the merchant of venice speech pleading for a break from cruelty you get maybe 200 notes in a month and probably some hate mail.

like you could help to give us the sweeter new year you are wishing us by trying just a little bit harder to think through what you're reacting to. by saying 'oh oops, sorry i'll remember that' when told 'this conspiratorial libel has been used to justify murdering jews, including in the recent past,' instead of saying that anyone talking about antisemitism is a manipulating darvo baby killer (which is blood libel). by standing up to the 'gentiles' in your circles who are boosting the antisemitism instead of keeping quiet because you don't agree but you don't want to get involved.

like we want to have hope. we have hope in ourselves, and we have hope in you, please show us that you're willing to try to live up to that hope.

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.

[clandestinegardenias]

This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.

What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.

So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.

Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.

[owldaughter]

Oh.

OH.

Let's all go do fandom.

If you want, you can let me know the language(s) in the tags, and whether or not you speak it fluently!

[pixelartpeach]

Going feral thinking about how we have to pay for the privilege to NOT have to listen to nonstop sales pitches.

"What would your ancestors think of your whole gender thing-" What would YOURS think of being told to buy things every two minutes. I think they would kill CEOs in the streets for being annoying. They were known to do that.
