Hello Basil!!!!!

[stressfulsloth]

For the writer's questions; 23. And 40 if you'd like to!

23. Describe the physical environment in which you write. Be as detailed as possible. Tell me what’s around you as you work. Paint me a picture.

Ahahah I mentioned in the previous answer that I write a lot when I'm on the bus to work, but when I edit I normally do it in bed. It's a white metal-framed bed with a stack of multicoloured pillows and two duvets, wedged in between the window and the chimney breast. The walls are white and the wallpaper is peeling at the top. There is a large roughly-made shelf above the bed piled haphazardly with second hand paperbacks and nicknacks. Hanging from the underside of the shelf is a victorian green glass lantern and some leaf-shaped fairy lights, a wooden sword and a sequined moon-shaped Christmas decoration. On the wall there is a Vincent van gough poster, free from an art fair, and a couple of postcards and Polaroids. Mostly art, but one is of stone henge and another is a recreation of the birth of Venus but with frogs instead of people. At the foot of the bed hangs a green fabric banner with "It's cool to care" appliquéd across it in glittery fabric. I really like my bed-space.

40. Please share a poem with me, I need it.

Aaaa god there are So Many. So many poems that I want to share! I love poetry. Ummm, I'm going to attach a photo of one of my favourites at the moment but it's a hard choice.

Thank you for asking, sorry I'm rambly!! 💜💜

Just wanna say you're absolutely right about the GF food. It dictates ALL of my grocery list, not just bread. You can't even technically get oats that are 100% gluten-free, even the ones that have that claim have the potential to still have a small effect on you. Plus there's wheat. In. Everything. Rice Crispies? Wheat! Soup? Wheat! Hot dogs? Wheat! BACON? WHEAT! It's changed my entire life having to be soooo careful of what I eat :( every alternative is expensive and there's rarely if ever any financial help, even with social assistances. Even at the foodbank I have to pass up on a lot offered there. No one knows how hard it is but us

i can't even have the clean wheat free oats even though im not like deadly allergic just intolerant, bc i'm specifically sensitive to gliadin (not glutenin) which is also preasent in oats and millet. it reframed 'healthy food' so drastically for me, too. like if me and a non allergic friend walk into a store and need a quick meal, the healthiest thing for them is probably gonna be a sandwich, the least healthy potato chips, while the exact oposite is true for me.

Actually i just read up on it and gliadin is apparently the most common cause of gluten allergies, so it's beyond me why oats and millet are considered safe just bc the gliadin doesnt form gluten in them. i know from experience i cant eat them. And while im happy that my country has any premade gluten free alternatives at all these days, bc there used to be none and i ate more rice crackers in my teens than any human should have to in their lifetime, half of them are made with wheat starch which is not well regulated and can still be harmful to people with allergies, but still costs over 10 times more than normal bread. I know i'm very unlikely to find a job that allows me to support myself with the food i need or leave me time to cook it from scratch, and the alternative is eating things that kill me slowly, making my symptoms bad enough to prevent me from working at all.

And corn is barely more expensive than wheat wholesale in my country (cheaper than wheat in the us). same with potatoes, the cheapest source of starch we have. there is literally no reason for gf bread to be that much more expensive, even accounting for a more difficult production process, other than extorting disabled people who have no alternative to turn to. I know gluten free becoming a fad diet is what popularised these produts at all and im thankful for it, but pricing gf food as if its only bought by fancy rich vegans on a new trend is just... evil. And it also causes people to assume im doing this because of a trend as if i wouldn't sacrifice my fristborn to be able to eat pizza without spending the rest of the day on the toilet and in pain.

Can you make an autism and PTSD diagram? One of the reasons it took my family so long to help me get checked for ASD is that they thought all my issues were trauma based (turns out they're not). So after seeing your ADHD/ASD and ADHD/PTSD diagrams I am very curious about what an Autism and PTSD one would look like/hold!

I made one here that compares all three! Just ignore the ADHD circle if you specifically want the overlap between the other two (although as it turns out, Autism and PTSD only overlaps with the symptoms of Autism that also overlap with ADHD.
