She/Her. Bisexual. ADHD. Minor Depression. I try to stay positive. Interests change often. Cute animal videos are eternal. No radfems. I block bots freely so try to look like a real person. Unfollow anytime, I don’t pay attention.
The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity
If you don't know her, Dani Donovan is an artist who makes these great ADHD comics. You've probably seen her comics even if you don't know her name:
These are just a few of my favorites, but there are a TON more on her website and Instagram. She's also the one behind the Anti-Planner workbook, if you've heard of that.
Yesterday, she sent out an email to her mailing list explaining that her business is really struggling:
I've been going back and forth on whether to say this. But authentic honesty is my whole thing, so here goes.
I'm fucking exhausted, dude. I've been putting out fires for a Very Long Time and keep getting hit back down before I can fully stand back up.
I've got a link at the bottom of this email to a blog post with way more details about wtf has been happening with my business. (I've held a lot back over the last 2 years.) [here is the blog post]
The reason it's so scary is that admitting everything that's gone wrong behind the scenes is vulnerable and I feel like a pretty massive failure.
TL;DR is I've had to downsize my team from 7 people to just me and my husband, which is making things wayyyy harder. My business is in a really scary spot right now.
Given all that, my upcoming launches are about to be the make-or-break moments for my company. And I'm so nervous I won't be able to pull it off in time.
But over the last year, I've had tons of awesome people like you tell me in supportive DMs, emails, and IRL:
"When you need help, put out the bat signal—your people will show up."
So, uh…
Your support right now will genuinely make a difference. A ticket, a share, or just forwarding this to one friend who might really like this upcoming launch.
If it's not the right time or it's just not for you—I completely get it. Shit is rough all around these days, and I 1000% get it.
Your existing support already means more than I can say. 💖
I don't know Dani personally or anything, I'm just an ADHDer who's been a fan of her comics for years and enjoys her blog posts. From the blog post about her business, she's in a rough spot and I thought Tumblr would want to know. She has the Anti-Planner, posters of her comics, and a bunch of other different neurodiversity-related merch available at her store here. I just grabbed two of my favorite posters I've wanted forever and some stickers.
300+ hand-illustrated pages by award-winning ADHD creator Dani Donovan. 100K+ sold. Activity book, PDF bundles, card decks, and merch for AD
She's also holding an online event, a 2-hour “How to Get Sh*t Done When You Don't Feel Like It” Masterclass + Workshop, which you can learn more about/register for here. (this is also linked in the quoted email I copy/pasted above). I think it comes with some Anti-Planner merch as well? It sounds really helpful for all of us neurodiverse folks.
A live 2-hour masterclass from Anti-Planner creator Dani Donovan, 27 activity PDFs, and the full framework for getting unstuck. Grab your se
Anyway, just wanted to share in case others have been looking at her merch like me, or for folks interested in webinars - now is the time! Please reblog/signal boost if you'd like!
hi everybody i started HRT at 35 so like don't even despair
being in ur twenties makes u feel like 30 is a brick wall u either fly over or crash into but i promise u it's a door and it opens up into the rest of ur life like getting past the prologue of an open world game
why go to the grocery store or to a restaurant when you can just get food delivered why go to the mall when you can get same day shipping on amazon why go to the library when you have kindle why make art when there’s ai why go to the cinema when you can stay at home and watch netflix. we are in a loneliness epidemic btw
The Fallout-Bethesda/Obsidian-Todd Howard thing is so crazy because someone has had the ability to take Fallout from Todd this whole time and no one has done it? I assumed Bethesda must have ironclad ownership over Fallout because there was no other explanation as to why the franchise wasn’t being developed. This isn’t even happy news. Fans have been speculating ever since the Marrowwind remake that there was a secret Fallout New Vegas remake that could drop anytime now and apparently that’s not true so the only upside to this restructuring is that we might (might) get a new Fallout before 2030.
Todd had two machines that print money and he just had one up on blocks and the other under a tarp out back.
I hope I'm online when it happens. I want to see a sudden flood of crab rave memes right after refreshing my dash, and in the middle of it all, the Castiel news meme. That's how I want to learn of it; not through anything solemn or serious, but via overwhelming silly celebration.
i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out
