The Lyskari One Stop Shop

Hello traveler!

Welcome to the world of Lyskari.

What is a Lyskari you ask? Not what, my friend, but who! And I am honoured to make your acquaintance! I am Lyskari, though you can call me Lys or Harley. A Community Manager by day, I make a hobby out of community building, though I have interests in writing, design, organisation, and ADHD, as well. If you are here then there is a potential reason for that:

My ADHD content

My fanfiction content

Me personally, which I still struggle to fathom but if you're here just for me, hi, that means the world!

My tutorial content

If it's ADHD related I have plenty of silly and hopefully relatable ADHD content that is browsable. If you're looking for my tutorials, Discord, Ao3 works, or my Ko-Fi, this is the place you'll want to start! And finally, thank you for taking the time to check out my page! If you enjoy it please consider leaving a like, reblog, or kudo (if on Ao3)! I also have a Ko-Fi if you enjoy things so much that you wish to leave a tip. No matter how you choose to show your appreciation please know that I am deeply grateful!

…THEY’RE CALLED T-SHIRTS BECAUSE THEY RESEMBLE THE LETTER T

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

also they were originally a form of underwear and I think that’s nifty!

[shroompuff1]

GAUD THIS HAS LONG BEEN COMMON KNOLEDGE

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

I don’t know what the fuck counts as common knowledge!!! for years I thought everyone knew that lobsters have teeth in their stomachs & blood can be used as an egg substitute. my perspective is slightly skewy!

[perniciousprophet]

How much blood contitutes one egg?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

¼ cup of blood can be substituted for one medium sized egg

[venomaximus]

There are 37.2 trillion cells in the human body and this post put all of my cells in attack mode

[gigglepuffpixie]

does it have to be wet blood? because dried blood is more shelf stable

i actually have a similar question regarding the infamous “virgin blood.” honestly, the dry stuff is just so much easier to work with

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

my thought process is that if milk can be powdered, blood probably can be too seeing as mammal milk is just filtered blood

[acethememelorde]

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

#breast milk is actually called white blood by some people

milk is mostly made out of white blood cells, we should absolutely just refer to it as White Blood

[alexafaie-wtf-is-this]

Milk a dairy animal to get White Cow’s Blood, or White Goat’s Blood, or even White Sheep’s Blood.

Leading to such coagulated white blood products as Mozzarella, Chèvre, and Manchego.

[zaharya]

I’m sorry, lobsters have what?!

[EDIT] This reblog is my 500th post on Tumblr and honestly I couldn't have asked for a better post. 😂

I remember seeing some discourse regarding Bullet Journaling, but I'm struggling to find the post. So, instead I'll leave this here.

In addition to the original Bullet Journal videos made specifically by the creator of the Bullet Journal, this video does a great job at breaking things down in a way that's reasonable. And not based upon aesthetic.

That being said, please don't think you're a terrible person if you take the time to make your Bullet Journal aesthetically pleasing. For some, that aesthetic is desperately needed to ensure use of the system. For others, it's more intimidating and becomes a hindrance.

Just remember to be respectful of what others choose to do with their journals. If they go for the very simple variation, applaud them. If they take the time to make their journal aesthetically pleasing, applaud them. So long as they are using their system in a way that works for them, encourage them. Applaud them.

But also lift UP the ones that aren't as aesthetic because that is a HUGE and CHRONIC issue. People look at Bullet Journals on pinterest or they google, and are hit with these wildly gorgeous but nearly impossible designs to recreate due to lack of resource -- be that time, markers, or even the skill. And it can immediately scare them off from the concept, especially if they do not realise the true history of the Bullet Journal. This means simplistic designs need to be raised up and applauded JUST AS MUCH. So please consider reblogging, sharing, or otherwise lifting up simplistic designs when you find them.

Let's encourage the freedom to BE minimalistic or simple and let us put the spotlight on them just as much to ensure they feel welcome. Because otherwise.... it gives the illusion that one is not succeeding with a Bullet Journal unless it looks pretty when that was NEVER the intention of it's creation. 🧡 (Direct link to the above video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkZEEQG6IVE | Channel name: How to ADHD)

Mad respect to Krem who just sits in the Tavern drinking the Inquisition out of house and home. He doesn't give two fucks what the Inquisitor is doing enough to be a companion, but if you need Haven sifted through or someone to bury Adamant under stone? Krems your man.

not to oversimplify an extremely complex discipline but if i had to pick one tip to give people on how to have more productive interactions with children, especially in an instructive sense, its that teaching a kid well is a lot more like improv than it is like error correction and you should always work on minimizing the amount of ‘no, wrong’ and maximizing the amount of ‘yes, and?’ for example: we have a species of fish at the aquarium that looks a lot like a tiny pufferfish. children are constantly either asking us if that’s what they are, or confidently telling us that’s what they are. if you rush to correct them, you risk completely severing their interest in the situation, because 1. kids don’t like to engage with adults who make them feel bad and 2. they were excited because pufferfish are interesting, and you have not given them any reason to be invested in non-pufferfish. Instead, if you say something like “It looks a LOT like a tiny pufferfish, you’re right. But these guys are even funnier. Wanna know what they’re called?” you have primed them perfectly for the delightful truth of the Pacific Spiny Lumpsucker

I was in martial arts for years, and in particular I kinda specialized in working with the younger kids.

The two Big Rules when instructing younger students was- 1. Compliment before Critique 2. Don’t say ‘but’, say ‘now’

Praise kids on what they get right first, especially if they are struggling. Like OP said, kids don’t like to engage with people who make them feel bad. They need encouragement when learning new things.

Number two boils down to this. If you tell a kid a compliment, then say “but you need to fix this”, that ‘but’ completely negates your compliment. It’s gone. It was canceled out like adding a negative to a positive. Using “hey, that punch is looking great, now let’s focus on your stance” doesn’t verbally cancel out the progress they’ve made. It’s like they’ve checked off something on their list of stuff to work on.

Wording can absolutely make or break a child’s motivation and interest.

Rebloggling as it’s relevant in a Medical Education context

[lizziedoesvetpath]

Honestly I use all of these to teach vet students too. I think people in general respond better to positivity in teaching. Not coddling, but acknowledging when a student got part way to the right answer, or had a good thought process, is something I’ve found keeps students engaged and builds confidence, which encourages them to keep going instead of shutting down and just “getting through” a lab or a rotation

[alex2xander]

I dont know who needs to hear this

But I sure did:

You can and absolutely should modify the chore/self care task if it makes life easier. Sit on the floor while doing laundry. Clean dishes while in a chair. Sit in the shower.

Save your spoons. Accommodate your fatigue rather than fighting it.

[simanita]

you've been told all your childhood that it's rude to interrupt. and now you have grown up and speak only when there is a pause in the conversation. but suddenly you understand that neurotypicals are all interrupting each other and this is quite normal. but you are already used to not interrupting and waiting for a pause in the conversation and do not understand how to normally maintain a conversation in order to talk, but at the same time not to seem rude

[collectionofmyautithings]

and even when there is a pause and i begin speaking they start talking over me like dude what????

[thedreadvampy]

and when you develop the habit of putting your hand up in group conversation so people know you're waiting to come in people act like you're the weird one even though we all know what that means and we all know that it's supposedly rude to interrupt

[ghilanadin-deactivated20240407]

I think the best part of base dragon age inquisition was In Your Heart Shall Burn. Playing as the Inky alone and most definitely scared, up against an avalanche and Corypheus was just so memorable. And then when you finally see the light? You pass out from exhaustion and cold — it was just so great.
