I’m trying to gauge something here. If you identify as queer, do you also fall into a craft subculture (sewing, woodworking, pottery, crochet, etc.)?

I craft for fun and to have nicely made stuff!

I craft for other reasons (cosplay, larping, theater)

I have crafted in the past but don’t much any more

I do multiple crafts all at once like a craft wizard (adhd probs be like)

I don’t craft

I’m not queer (see results)

I wish recruitment agencies would actually be helpful and not lead me on about a potential job - to then tell me they didn’t give me more info on said job because they didn’t want to lead me on about it 🤦‍♀️

YOU CALLED ME! Why call if you’re not sure??

Reblog and share about the stigma you’ve faced for sharing that you have ADHD.

[ramblingsofamadcreature]

• you didn’t have ADHD as a kid. (Because I don’t display in the “hyperactive badly behaved little boy” way)

• Just because you have ADHD doesn’t mean you get special treatment. (A manager at a job when I asked if I could have 1 earbud in quietly to help me focus)

• You’re so childish. It’s not hard to do “xyz” - I get distracted but I still do it. (Someone who isn’t ADHD and makes me wanna scream)

• I feel like you don’t want to talk to me because if you ACTUALLY cared, I wouldn’t need to remind you to text back. (A friend I lost because she couldn’t understand that I wasn’t intentionally ignoring her - I just have a hard time which I was and still am trying to work on)

I hope someone can enjoy this lymphoma-riddled lymph node presenting a high-five to me just as much as I did.

Giving me strong Oddwold vibes!

Animal Ag Farming is not an act of cruelty.

This isn’t to argue that it’s free from any issues. Of course it’s not. But the concept of “exploitation” is such a human concept. As is suppression. You give an animal everything that it needs, helping it live as pain free as possible - that doesn’t feel cruel to me.

I’ve heard arguments that animal products (wool, leather etc) are the worst thing for the environment. When did we stop considering a natural, biodegradable option requiring significantly less water to “manufacture” to be worse than a garment that literally just sheds micro plastics?

I get it - death is uncomfortable to think about. But everyone and everything dies. With all due respect, the concept of living in social isolation whilst crippled with arthritis and dropping body condition because of age doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun? Humans have the advantage of “looking back at the good old days!”. A cow or sheep doesn’t. They literally only know the moment. And if that moment is pain? Then life is pain to them. A cow or sheep will not have their own kind take so kindly to them once they’re old and slow. (I’ve seen it in horses. It’s awful.)

This is not meant to tell anyone they’re bad for believing something that might not be quite as black and white as it seems. I’ve come from that. I gave 9 years of my life to that until I physically couldn’t because I was getting sick. It turns out that I am one of those fabled “can’t survive without animal protein” people. Biology has set us up to have an easier time digesting them. And when done with the animals welfare in mind - that’s not a bad thing. Because life isn’t bad or good. You’re not bad or good based on whether or not you eat meat, dairy or quinoa. It’s literally just about surviving and thriving and doing what you can. Preferably in a way that doesn’t kill the planet any quicker…

If you want to live animal product free - cool, you do you. I just wish people would do it with actual facts behind them instead of misinformation (and yes - PETA does benefit from people supporting their cause. They’re not your friend and certainly not the animals.)

Okay I don't know if this is even worth typing, but I keep seeing a lot of posts to do with socialism and communism and just... I am all for anti capitalism etc - but there's also a very big problem with communism and I think a lot of people believe that communism and socialism are one of the same...

Capitalism is great for an economy that is just getting started (capitalism = quick growth) but alone is very unstable and unsustainable. Communism is also bad... Stalin didn't just accidentally end up where he did. Communism on paper looks incredible, but it is also so very easy to corrupt and manipulate.

Socialism does not equal communism. I wish people would consider how a system made up of multiple systems would be better than just picking one extreme over the other.

"under socialism, individuals can still own property. But industrial production, or the chief means of generating wealth, is communally owned and managed by a democratically elected government." - This is why I believe in socialism. Communism is too extreme. You don't dump ice in boiling oil.

I'm not saying any system is perfect - but if history has taught us anything, then to argue either capitalism or communism alone will fix the world is ludicrous...

I’m so desperate to have my own place to call home. A place where I can exist wherever I please and not have any anxiety when coming home. A space where I can exist and live. Not tiptoe like a mouse.

I’m tired of living in a bedroom surrounded by washing up because my brain struggles with keeping on top of it and the owner of the house is so passive aggressive if I leave anything out.

I’m tired of worrying about whether I’ve misplaced something again, or if my boyfriends dad has thrown it out because “it was in his way”. Also having the constant pressure of somehow making the tiny bedroom we live in work with 2 adults and 2 cats living in here, then having more stuff to squeeze in because “it either goes upstairs or I’m throwing it out”.

I know people tell me I should be grateful because I have a roof over my head - but sometimes it’s hard when the person in charge of said roof makes you feel so very in the way. My mental health is taking a beating and I honestly don’t know what to do.

And then there’s the fact that working is difficult because of your mental health/severe executive dysfunction, and the world is somehow still becoming even more so overwhelmingly expensive. I’m tired. I just want a safe space…

[ramblingsofamadcreature]

Anyone else see an “ADHD life hack” and think “ooh yeah that’s gonna fix everything!” So you buy what you need for it, set it up and use it for a day - only to then be rudely reminded that it’s in fact a system requiring a degree of management that your ADHD brain doesn’t agree with?

I’ve managed to give myself 3 new clutter spaces and there are STILL piles of clothes on the floor… Unfair!
