Ancient Egypt. Cartonnage fragment with two human headed falcons. 20th Dynasty. Ancient Egyptians believed the human soul was comprised of five parts: Ren, which represented the name of the individual; Sheut, which represented the shadow or silouhette of the individual; Ib, which represented the heart; Ka, which represented the spirit; and Ba, which represented everything else that made the individual unique. Ba, is usually represented in the form of a human-headed falcon. The ‘Ba’ is an aspect of the individual that the Egyptians believed would live after the body died. The part that will fly away to rejoin the spirit, Ka, for continued existence in the afterlife.

i hate the tech industry so much. FUCK apple. i hate minimalism and sleekness. oooohhh  we made this computer the thickness and weight of a piece of construction paper. you cant plug anything into it and it has 2 gb of storage space. ooooh it has no power button isnt that conceptual? look at how sleek it is. its battery lasts 5 minutes and if you touch it with any more force than the gentlest whisper of a rose petal it will shatter and we intentionally designed it to be impossible to repair on your own. it will break on its own in a year tops. ooh its so sleek and efficient

The reason the work you’ve done on how you feel doesn’t seem like it’s working is because you need to do it until it works. It’s never been “this strategy will pull you up” it’s always been “here’s something you can do that will END with you getting out of that hole” the climbing still hurts and the being underground still hurts but that doesn’t mean it’s not working

*doing laundry* “this doesn’t feel better

*cooking meals* this doesn’t feel better

*exercising* this doesn’t feel better

*making art* this doesn’t feel better

*cleaning the apartment* this doesn’t feel better

*somewhere months or years down the line*

Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.

The most useful phrase I ever found when fighting with depression was “action precedes motivation” and I think that’s relevant here. Sometimes you just have to do the things, and eventually the motivation will catch up to you. And it’s hard and it sucks, but sometimes the only way out is to dig, and to keep digging even when you feel like you aren’t getting anywhere, cause it’s when you’re at the end of the tunnel in absolute dark and covered in dirt that the next shovelfull breaks through to the surface and lets the light in

The man is just tall enough that he doesn’t have to move chairs.

[bobolovesoze]

Fun fact! He did this because Jonathan Frakes had a back problem. It was easier for him to do this

[pokegeek151]

Fascinating! I did not know that!

[saint-batrick]

it’s why he’s always doing the riker lean, too! where he puts one foot up on something and rests an arm on his own leg! he fucked up his back moving furniture when he was younger.

[heresiae]

not sure if I should collapse on the floor laughing, being impressed by how much tall he is or being sorry for his back.

[thaylepo]

The man made his back problems work for him

Today at work a girl at my register was heatedly explaining to her mother that wearing a dinosaur costume to her school’s decades day was, in fact, perfectly acceptable because her teachers did not specify any particular decades.

Still trying to come to terms with the fact I’ll never be a librarian who can speak a dead language and be recruited by a ruggish but handsome explorer for a quest to lift the curse and save the world

SO I FIND OUT MY FRIENDS AND I ARE ON OUR LOCAL NEWS WEBSITE

We were asked all these questions about how long the costumes took us, how we did it, etc. 

I paused the video right when we were asked how much money we spent on our cosplays and

I often see ADHDers saying that meds killed their creativity.

I can't speak for everyone but I always thought it was more that we were so used to drawing inspiration from our chaotic minds, that we struggle when meds calm it.

I just found the perfect analogy: Zuko from AtLA, season 3.

He starts to lose his bending after joining the Gaang. He had previously used his anger and rage as the fuel to his fire, so when he lost his anger, he feared he lost his fuel.

But no, the answer wasn't to get angry again and punch Aang in the face.

Rather, he had to find a new source of fire. A calmer and more peaceful one.

[abcsofadhd]

One more thing.

I've noticed that we ADHDers have our standards warp due to hyperfocus.

We might struggle to create 95% of the time, but hyperfocus can cause us to perform at like 300% capacity.

So our standards and expectations become warped.

We feel our non hyperfocus work is inadequate because we remember our huge output when hyperfocusing.

So writing a page when not hyperfocusing feels like nothing cause we compare it to the 10 pages we wrote when on hyperfocus.

Similarly, if you're unsatisfied with your output on meds, maybe it's not your works that's inadequate. Maybe your standards are too high and you're being too hard on yourself.

I completely understand this. I hold myself to a ultraperfectionist standard because of feelings of inadequacy and RSD.

One of the reasons I stopped making videos was cause I stressed myself out over how high my standards were.

However, I now know that that's just me. My perception. My faulty beliefs.

When I've put out stuff I made that I thought was bad and sucky and just fucking shit, I've gotten positive feedback!

I've learnt this over the last half year from making podcasts with another creator. He's helped me see that my biggest hurdle was myself.
