is your favourite film or show in a language you can't speak
(i dont mean "i only speak a little bit of this language and can only say a few phrases and sentences"), i mean fully cant speak. (maybe know a few extremely common words like yes and hello because its common knowledge)
Is your favourite film or show in a language you can't speak?
Yes
No
One of my favorite movies is "White: Melody of Death". I do not speak Korean 🙃
people replying to my "you can just say you have food poisoning americans always have food poisoning" comment on my thanksgiving excuses post with delighted agreement that they too have noticed americans constantly have food poisoning, but you have forgotten or have missed that we did an actual survey just a scant few months ago and the americans on this site reported in GREAT NUMBERS that we would continue eating at a restaurant that gave us diarrhea/vomiting something like 4-5 times (or forever), while almost everyone else in the world kept it to a solid once, or twice if they really weren;t sure. food poisoning is *genuinely* out of control in the usa, we have awful food safety at every level of the food production chain down to the actual people cooking food at home not understanding temperatures or washing their hands. it was a whole thing, it went on for weeks, and it branched off in multiple directions like "please use your dishwasher if you have one" and "what do you mean you cant tell what gave you food poisoning? oh it's because you're always getting food poisoning? wait what do you mean 'everything your mom/grandma cooks gives ou food poisoning so it doesnt matter'?" anyway yes there is a food safety crisis going on in this country and its getting worse lmao
one single incident of food poisoning can permanently disable you btw. its one of the primary ways people end up with narcolepsy, POTS, MCAS, ME-CFS, gastroparesis and/or fibromyalgia. "americans are constantly getting sick" is an actual thing, and most americans appear to think that having food poisoning multiple times a year is just a normal part of eating food
This explains very suddenly why I've been sick so much the last two years
Unhinged ADHD Tips & Tricks #10
I keep forgetting I started this, and I love seeing things that remind me of how I make my space accessible.
Something that gets us ADHDers is ⚡️The Tax⚡️. For those of you who aren't aware, what is The ADHD Tax? Allow me to rant for a moment.
Imagine you bought fresh veggies with the absolute best intentions. Today you're flipping a new leaf and eating healthier! You put them in the crisper section of your fridge. Y'know, the drawer. *poof* Those veggies no longer exist. The drawer is where good intentions go to rot. Next month, you're turning a new leaf! You buy veggies with the very best of intentions! You're gonna eat healthier starting today! You open the crisper to find "Oh dear Odin wtf is that?!?!"
Yes, the vaguely green goo oozing brown all on the bottom of your drawer is not only the corpse of the dreams of health, it is The ADHD Tax.
It is the wasted money from things you buy that get immediately forgotten when you get home. It can be veggies, it can be the 50th charging cord you just brought home, it can be a skein of yarn that you swore you didn't have but actually do.
My big example was veggies because that's the problem I fixed with this particular tip
Put dry erase film on your fridge
Was it weird to get used to? A bit. Did I have to explain why it was up almost every time I had guests? Only until all of my usuals had seen it. Did it help? Fuck yes!
The idea is you write the entire contents of the fridge on this section of your fridge. I'm a little off kilter, so I would also write expiration dates next to condiments/jars of stuff, the date I made the leftovers, and the date when I bought the fresh stuff.
It took some getting used to because I wasn't used to writing everything I bought on my grocery trip down, but let me tell you! The amount of food waste I experienced dropped dramatically. Once I started using this system to manage that part of my ADHD, the amount of tax I no longer had to pay was astounding. I stopped having to ask "what leftover is that?" Followed by "welp, doesn't matter cause it's growing." I didn't accidentally buy repeat groceries because I knew it was in the fridge without having to look for it. Fewer fresh ingredients went bad and I didn't have to buy as many fresh herbs because I could see that I still had cilantro.
I haven't been able to put this back up since moving in with my mom, but I have a lead on a house. I've already bought the film. And guess what.
It's going up everywhere. Pantry, fridge, spice cupboard. Everywhere I put food, it's getting put up. Because it helps, and it saves money.
One of my favorite things about moving into my own apartment has been just autism/adhd proofing the fuck out of the place. I can accommodate my needs as much as I want to and it’s a type of freedom every neurodivergent person should experience
Counting down the days when I can put dry erase film on my fridge again
'Oooh if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life' false. I'm a glassblower. I love glass more than (almost) anything else. And I have worked. Every day. For the past four weeks. And I am just as burnt out and depressed and miserable as when I was killing myself working at the Home Depot. All of that labor is tainted with the knowledge that if I hadn't done it I wouldn't have been able to eat. Or live indoors. Or support my partner. Capitalism is hell, dont let anyone fucking lie to you and imply that if youre fucked up about it you're just doing it wrong.
This is a big reason why I don't try to do art for a living any more. I don't make my cards to sell, I don't crochet on commission, I quote ridiculous prices for my illustration because I don't want to make it my living, and I sew for my own pleasure.
I run a retail business, and I really enjoy it most of the time. But on the days it really sucks, I don't want to go home and do more of it to relax. Kudos to anyone that can make it work, but the reality is that doing art, any art, for a living is still work. And that makes it much less enjoyable.
I am once again vexed by what the bullet journal has become, when there are people who could really find value in the simplistic organization method it was originally designed to be by someone with ADHD
I really think people need to accept the fact that their aesthetically markered and extravagantly washi taped notebooks are actually art journals or even scrapbooks or junk journals, not bullet journals as a tool to help stay organized
Tacking op's tags on here bc simply saying "go read them" is not enough!
Here’s the original video for anyone interested. It’s short , simple video and approach that’s right to the point
Something I might try, cause yeah, I had no idea bullet journals weren’t intended to be artsy.
So my journaling goal for the year is 1 spread per week. I just barely made it this week lol, but I had bookbinding to finish.
And tbh, the pages I used for the scrapbook were not the ones I'd planned. So I used some of the ones that ended up not working out to create this page
Had fun with it, but I definitely wasn't expecting to be done so quick
Finally finished this
And now that I have the film for my camera, I can start filling it with scrapbook stuff lol
Welp, in true ADHD fashion, I'm learning how to bookbind. This will be where my scrapbook goes, and the front will say "Us"
Got my camera
Even though I know it wasn't going to come with film, I was disappointed that it didn't have like a little starter pack of film, so I couldn't play with it like I wanted to
It needed charged anyway
So I'm gonna try scrapbooking this year, but in like, a junk journal style.
I had shied away from scrapbooking in general cause it always made me think of the flowery fabric covers with the cutesy coordinated themes and stuff. Not really my bag.
Then I remembered I have free will. I don't *have* to make mine that way if I don't want to.
So I splurged to get a Polaroid style camera(because I have tons of pictures of me and my daughter but not enough biological memory to print them in a reasonable time) and I'm gonna do my scrapbook my way. I want to have printed memories to show Andy when we're older but in a way that showcases who we are. Not just some curated version of a perfect family for others' benefit.
Even though I was getting sick, I decided to stay up until midnight with my daughter. It was the first New Year I let her do it, and I wasn't about to bow out.
Regret
So much regret
Woke up with so much mucus and with a sinus headache.
Tumblr will be like “oh you visit this tag regularly and frequently like posts about This Particular Thing? We are never going to recommend you anything related to that. You clicked on this one tag accidentally and immediately clicked out of it? Your entire for you page is going to be that forever. We are never going to stop recommending you these tags. Sorry.”
This is currently how my feed is with Tenna and Spamton art???
I like seeing art, and I like reading little comic stories, but these were character that I didn't recognize and immediately thought "Oh, I have no context for this, buh bye"
So now I'm making the best of it and building my own little headcanon.
for second i was thinking like "art block is such a weird concept. imagine if you just became randomly unable to do OTHER types of tasks" before remembering that i have executive dysfunction and frequently AM randomly unable to do other types of tasks. i got cleaning block. cooking block. taking a walk block.
Oof! This hits right in the adhd
Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize
Oh, super easy. Crochet, sewing(mostly cause I draft my own patterns, most of which is done on the floor and I'm clumsy, so getting up usually involves hitting some part of my body on something), and papercrafts
The What-Do-Swans-Have-To-Do-With-Chri-Ohhhhhhhhhh Card
I've been kind of obsessed with shaker cards lately. Ngl, they're super cool. Ralph Tyndall hasn't helped that because he made a penne pasta card that I just love. I got an idea for a pickle card that can be used for thank yous, affirmations, birthdays, all sorts of cool stuff.
One problem...
I hate pickles.
Fortunately I won't be eating it. And all of this to say that I've been practicing shaker cards for this idea.
So the border on the front didn't turn out the way I expected. I had a die that I didn't realize had a rectangular border, so none of the lacy bits I wanted made it to the front. Oh well. At least I was smart enough(this time) to glue the embellishments on the frame to the acetate sheet.
There was less mixing and matching of die sets this time. I reused some of the green paper I made for the Toad birthday card for some of the foliage.
Some of the bits in the sprinkle mix I used was sliiiiiiightly too big for the space inside, but that's okay! Lessons learned.
More distress oxide inks. They're honestly my favorite. I love how versatile it is, and i love seeing the reactions I can get with water or other sprays.
This is what I expected the front to look a bit like, but it made a great piece for the inside.
This is one of my favorites so far. I want to get back to using my silhouette cutter again, but we'll see when that can happen.
