If you're outside the UK and interested in acquiring any of these pieces, do send me a message here or to angylroper@proton.me so that we can find out the postage costs and arrange accordingly.
At present, I'm only posting to the UK using Royal Mail Special Delivery as I've found that the most reliable service for the price over the years.
#ADHD and #kinetic brains - do you have any good tricks for getting yourself to do mental or intellectual work when your brain is hyperfocused on something else?
Last few days, my brain is completely interested and trying to pull me towards certain entertainment content, but I have a lot of work I need to do for my dayjob that requires my brain to be able to focus and flow, at least a bit. And I am STRUGGLING to get my brain to stop interrupting my work focus every five seconds to tell me to play a game or read a comic.
My usual coping skills ain't working (e.g. basic mindfulness, using music to change the emotional context of work, trying to grab onto the tasks that interest me, etc.), and I'd love new ideas!
I've never posted an #introduction so here it is, finally!
We're Rak, a plural system consisting of Anna, Kat, and Farah (among others). All of our pronouns are she/her and it's fine to refer to our whole system as such.
We're panromantic, grey-asexual, and polyamorous! Very leftist, not religious. We also have ADHD, OCD, and Bipolar II, so hopefully we can find others to relate and share experiences with.
We'll each write our own little mini-intros for anyone interested!
💙 I'm Anna ^^ more often than not I'm in front, though very often alongside Kat. I'm a very nerdy blue catgirl. I'm pretty reserved, thoughtful, and deliberate, though also often anxious. I'm the linux nerd in our system ^^ I'm a sucker for optimization and efficiency in all things, and I love tinkering and customizing everything. I really enjoy factory building games and sandbox games.
Kat and I have a lot of overlap with our interests; together we're pretty creative and enjoy art, 3D modeling, music making, and gamedev. We both enjoy playing FFXIV (especially savage raiding and clubbing!), Monster Hunter, FromSoft games, and retro shooters.
💜 hiii i'm kat! i'm very extraverted, and i really love meeting and getting to know people! i'm really excited to be able to be myself here now, and i'll probably post a lot hehe.. i'm carefree, excitable, affectionate, and energetic. i can be pretty flirty at times! also i'm a catgirl too :3 i'd love to meet you!!
🤎 Hello, my name is Farah. I don't know if I'm going to really use social media much, but I wanted to give an introduction regardless. I do anything I can to make Anna and Kat's lives a little bit easier, though recently I've been exploring my own interests as well. I really love animals and nature. I'm happy to talk to anyone friendly!
This turned out to be a lot longer than expected, thanks for your interest ^^ Feel free to send us a DM, we'd love to talk about anything!
Theo Jansen’s latest strandbeest has 7 sheets to the wind. It’s very graceful, with a rhythm of walking horses with a caterpillar bringing up the rear.
I made a flapping butterfly actuated by a hand wound coil of magnet wire in a strong magnetic field.
After destroying one 555 timer IC (probably by a high voltage inductive spike) I decided to incorporate a PC817 #optoisolator in the #MOSFET driver circuit.
