my #ADHD can be chaotic…
like, I’m either an hour (or more) early or I arrive 10s before something begins…

some things i love:
✏️ words:
I’ve had #Jungle's newest album on repeat since it dropped. The basslines are * chef's kiss * and I just want to grab my bass and rift along.
I was trying to find the right word to describe the vibe and overall feeling the album leaves you with…and I found myself saying "it's like...sunshine….diffuse warmth and enveloping happiness...." and then I cackled out loud because the album is literally called #Sunshine.
A new notebook requires a dedication rite of a smol sketch of my “kit”. Gotta make the fear of the white page a little less frightening somehow eh?
#art #watercolor #sketch
the fact that activision is requiring a BIOS update before I can play the COD beta …. 🤬 ….
I know many folks know a lot more about computers than they did even 5 years ago, but I feel like the average gamer will be quite overwhelmed on how to troubleshoot the attestation check that activation does and then be lost on how to find and update their BIOS if that’s what they want to do.
i’m quite internet/tech savvy and even i’m swimming in all the info 🙃
There’s no one I’d rather walk through this life with more than you, my badass @britt@mstdn.games ♥️ - happy 10 years!
Your depth of passion and excitement for what you love, your infectious laugh, and your determination to live fully regardless of situation or circumstance has been inspiring and encouraging since the moment I met you. Thank you for always seeing the best in me and giving ME the strength to tackle this life. I love you my heart and I’m so grateful for our days together 🥰
🖋️ Why were albums from 2013 & 2014 so suspiciously wonderful?

I’d like to report that I have successfully managed to update the time on the singular clock in our house that needs manually updating.
It only took 7 days post DST, versus the 7 months it usually takes
🖋️ #blogpost, but small disclaimer: while it is about the death of a parent (albeit an estranged parent), it's not overly heavy

Couldn’t be more proud of wifey ( @britt@mstdn.games ) and all the work she puts into running #mstdnGames 💜 If you weren’t aware already, she’s amazing
Looks like we are back up and running friends!
I have so many engineering questions about those parachutes.
It’s badass @britt@mstdn.games’s birthday today 🎉 shower her with funny memes, gifs, and all manner of happiness 🤙
I’m so grateful to get to do this life alongside her.
Love you babes and all the corners of who you are that I get to discover 💜

here - have some research =)
"Effects of Music on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Potential Application in Serious Video Games: Systematic Review”
(Martin-Moratinos et al., 2023)
It seems I only have two #writing gears these past 12 months during which I can get any assignments or #research done.
1) #SleepToken's #EvenInArcadia album
2) #Okvsho's #OrangeWine album
#ADHD mental regulation at its finest.
T-minus 6 hrs until the deadline
i'm at the point where I have an anxious “cmd+s” tick where I am obsessively trying to panic save everything "just in case” - I have backups of my backups of my backups - and I'm going APA7 cross-eyed.
almost submission ready (I mean is it ever ready? No, no it is not) and sitting at 80 pages and 25,000 words, not including my project (which is visual vs written)
oof
Alright fellow readers. Who’s read #RFKuang? #Katabasis?
For the life of me, I cannot get through it. I don’t often #DNF books (and I don’t have any issue with DNFing books) so it’s been odd for me.
I assumed I just wasn’t in the mood maybe, or experiencing the usual disorientation at the beginning of any new story and vibe.
I’ve tried four separate times since the book has released…and I just… can’t.
I liked #ThePoppyWar, and #Babel…
Have you read Katabasis? (No spoilers plz) Am I alone in feeling this?
Almost done my #ProjectHailMary re-read.
Yes it's just as wonderful on multiple passes.
No, nothing will compare to reading it the first time.
If you can - I _highly _recommend reading it before you see the film (or audio book, which is truly a great experience).
I also have zero concerns regarding the film in the hands of #RyanGosling (producer of it, the one who wanted to bring the story to life, and main actor)
I always have to re-watch/re-read if a new season or film based on a book or series drops. Though it's a bit time consuming if a show has 6+ seasons (or based on a long book series *cough GoT *cough* Wheel of Time*) because with each new season drop, I start over again at S01. 🙃
Hey #YEG friends, in case you haven’t left your house yet, it’s icy AF out there.

@Tamami 😍 stunning. Pastels are always something I’ve returned too over the years but never quite got the hang of them the way I’d like too.
This is beautiful work (all of yours is!) thanks for the inspiration (and motivation) 🤙
I need to create an #academic poster which serves as a visual and metaphorical representation of my #LiteratureReview …. Which is on metaphors….
…bit of an inception happening in my tired brain today 🙃🤣

@asolitarybear @Edent I look forward to hearing what you think of it whenever you read it! I’ll give it another go one day. Right now I’m doing a reread of #TheLockedTomb series :)

@nasamuffin I also tried the audio book and agree with you, sometimes it helps me slog through a story as well.
But nope.
Not this one.
😬

@sgtstretch ha - I get that. I think I liked the “idea” of Babel more than the actual book. Especially as one who studied Ancient Greek.

@Edent thanks for sharing your review, I’m glad you liked it! I do see your point regarding humour, maybe it’s just her delivery that’s just thrown me …
Replying to
@asolitarybear my pleasure - it collects and references a lot of studies so there is SO MUCH to look into, I haven’t even dug into it all yet :)
