Hi! Have you heard of wwoof? I’m too adhd to study at university but I’m super interested in permaculture, regreening, reforestation and sustainable agriculture

So I was wondering if you or any of your followers have heard of the organization or have any experiences?

Hi there, I’ve heard vaguely of WWOOF but I'm by no means familiar with how they operate. I've heard some good things, but also some warnings about exploitative farms and horrible conditions by doing a quick google search (see below)

Hopefully one of my lovely followers will be better equipped to help you!

If you're looking for online books/resources about permaculture and gardening there's tons at this link

My WWOOFing experience was a nightmare. Here’s why the organization needs to change.

"Many volunteers are driven to leave their host farms earlier than planned, yet it’s extremely rare to see a negative comment about a farm t

Why You Shouldn’t Volunteer At For-Profit Farms

Hint: it’s the same reason you wouldn’t volunteer at McDonald’s

Hi! I absolutely love your Keith Haring flappy hands drawing. SO much. I would love to share it on twitter; if it would be okay with you I would love to maybe use it as my profile picture. Would that be okay? If so i would of course in my bio have ”profile picture by ___”. If yes, how would you like to be credited? It would of course be okay to say no as well

(sorry this is so late tumblr didn’t give me notifs for asks for a while for some reason aaaa)

but yes of course as long as u give credit :D! just credit me as like cray0n-b0x on tumblr or whatev lol

Hi! Why will the brick thing not work for us protests?

Because once a cop sees you with one it can be used against you in court. It's a massive trap, as soon as you pick one up the cops WILL see it and do everything in their power to make it like you were gonna attack them or loot.

I didn't realise I overexplain!!!! I never knew that word before!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Personally I am of the opinion that “over explaining” is often a misframed way of describing someone. I use the word in my url because people tell me I do it, and I’m embracing that even though they usually mean it negatively.

If people use the word in a negative way, then they probably don’t know what they want, and/or aren’t saying what they do want.

Do they want me to have a more well organized, clear and direct way of explaining something?

Do they want me to simplify my points to be easier to process quickly?

Do they want me to be more aware of the social context and save it for another time?

Are they impatient and want me to finish so they can make their points?

Or maybe, do they just want to silence me?

It’s valuable to be able to organize a point well in explaining it, so it can be received and understood well. It’s valuable to recognise where and when it is reasonable to explain a point, and in which contexts it should be saved for later, or forgone. I’m not the best at those, but I usually have a sense of when I’m being good at them, and with time, experience, and intention, I’ve gotten better on average. 

In any case, I’m glad I can resonate with you.

To Sweden autism anon: I'm Swedish too and for me it's exactly the same!!!! In boarding school socially in many ways I appeared very normal but then with Swedish people my speech is very academic and stylised, the same for getting jokes etc in English!!!

My first language is English and, though I'm not at all fluent in French, I sound much more natural speaking it and it's generally easier. 4/10 times I think I've gone completely nonverbal, it turns out I can still speak French

[undiagnosedautismfeels]

Idk where else to ask: my partner loves funny videos (the type that would be in America funniest home videos not necessarily fail videos just like funny things from life) and I do too except I hate when someone gets hurt or seriously scared (like when the people in the video aren't okay). I've talked to my autistic friends who feel the same way but we don't know how to find compilations without these kind of videos. Any advice from you or followed what to search for or how to find?
