ADHD pro tip: Use psychological warfare on yourself.

For example, in order to do long tasks, like folding laundry, I put on the Mario Hat:

The main feature of the Mario hat is that my headset does not fit over it, so when The Bees™ try to put me back in front of the screen, the headset issue forces me to remember why I put the Mario hat on, and back to the task I go

As a bonus, the Mario hat is also a very clear indicator to my housemates that business is getting done, and they have learned not to distract me when I'm wearing the "goofy-ass cosplay hat"

It's not stupid if it works.

Today’s outgoing mail to my penpal Esther

Esther mentioned she adopted two kittens and even though i had a theme set in mind before i even started working on this one, it worked out perfectly with all the kittens!

im at a restaurant right now and there's this like 16 year old kid sitting at the table next to me completely alone with like 6 racks of ribs. hes eating like 1 rib every 10 seconds and the poor server who was assigned to him has to keep getting him new ribs. ive been here for an hour just watching this kid inhale ribs like he's gonna die the next day. he probably will given the amount of hot sauce he put on them

[the-queer-demon]

i cannot stress enough that this is a stick-thin teenage child sitting alone at a restaurant absolutely going to town on these ribs. this child is eating like hes trying to personally rid the world of ribs. i've been timing him, he orders a full other rack of ribs every 2 minutes. this is fucking insane i dont know what to do

You wanna send snail mail, but you don't feel like you have the time and energy for a whole long term pen pal relationship.

May I suggest postcard exchanges! Here's a couple.

Postcrossing - you get assigned a random address, send a postcard. Then once it's received, someone else gets your address.

Postcard United - Same as Postcrossing, just a different site

PostFun - same as the above, but it's an app on your phone

Now, if you wanna have a little more long term relationship with someone via snail mail, but you don't feel like you have the energy to write big long letters, or spend time on mail art (y'all who do mail art, it's gorgeous, I'm exhausted just watching y'all), what you're looking for is a Postcard Pal. It's a penpal you agree to send postcards to! You are constrained by the writing section of the card! Much more condensed! Where would you find such a person? Here's a couple of places.

The Letter Exchange - the print zine mailed quarterly has a category for postcards. Bonus - it's a letter forwarding service so you decide when you give your postcard pal your address.

Postcrossing Forums - you will need to sign up to get access, there is a Penpal forum.

r/penpals and r/penpalsover30 - Does what it says on the tin, but you do have to sort through people who want emailpals as well.
