hi, i'm rune! :heart_disability: i'm nonbinary (she/her), bi/pan, polyamorous, pro-kink, and more! despite my limited spoons, i’m fascinated by most everything in the world, including...
gaming (ffxiv, minecraft…) :gaming_love:
writing (prose, poetry, roleplay…) 🖋️
reading (sff, romance…) 📚
programming & math :blobfox_computer:
music (listening, performing, & composing) 🎹
psychology & philosophy :galaxy_brain:
visual art (illustration, animation, 3D…) 🎨
the list goes on! and there are so many fascinating things in the world i haven’t even heard of yet!
i'm an ADHD autist and i love getting to know people, but still learning how to make room for myself. i also suffer from complex PTSD and other disabilities, which have resulted in my plurality. i’m happy to meet singlets and other systems alike! :plural_ampersand:
i care deeply about accessibility and disability rights, queer rights, racial equality—really the whole spectrum of human rights (intersectionality is important!) as well as animal rights and environmental issues. honestly, i just care a whole-heckin-lot! :heart_progress: :ms_globe:
unfortunately, this causes a lot of overwhelm and i’m struggling to balance effective activism with self-care. so i might not always be able to engage or research as thoroughly as i’d like. i do what i can to make informed choices and reduce harm, and i’m hoping to curate a space for myself that offers at least some relief from the dumpster fire we live in. :dumpster_fire:
there's probably still a million-billion things i'd like to add but can't remember. above all, the most important thing you need to know about me is that my favorite color is blue. :ms_heart_blue:
Last year, #Concerta maker Janssen stopped manufacturing its "authorized generic" version through Patriot Pharmaceuticals. Most insurers then switched their formularies to a set of theoretically-equivalent generics from a few different companies, but, as the #adhd community have been warning, they're not really that equivalent at all.
One of the good things with my understanding of being #NeuroDivergent is how I now understand what my problem with intensely sunny days is. And, it's not some fault or quirk I can just "fix".
I mean I do love sunlight (to a degree), but it always gives me a headache and makes me cranky and tired. I much prefer an overcast or rainy day. Travelling to Athens in 2019 most exhausting thing was the relentless sun. Also not a fan of heat.
Autumn and evening sun is a different story, but I still prefer hiding in the shade a bit.
It's ok to love rainy days.
This also explains me and intense indoor lighting. Oh how I despice fluorescent lights and bright screens.
I caught up with a psychologist I know in the Bay Area recently who’s a specialist in #ADHD and has it herself. She’s gone off her meds because of the shortages, in case folks were wondering how bad the situation is for folks with ADHD in the US right now 😓
I would appreciate it if people could help me get more federated on my new instance. Please boost this post if any of the following tags apply to you so I can follow!
When you are a child, people ask you what you want to be when you grow up. We all expect to find that one thing, that calling that will be our life's work. I thought I changed my mind all the time because I was young. Turns out, that was one of the biggest heartbreaks of #ADHD. I kept looking for decades.
If this sounds like you, it's okay to stop looking. Enjoy what you enjoy for as long as it lasts, then move on. That's who we are. It brings challenges, but also wonder.
Is anyone watching #YellowJackets? I want to discuss it, but don't want to be spoiled. We're only on Season 2 episode 3.
I have QUESTIONS. And THEORIES. And my husband can't handle how much I interject during the show b/c I get so excited, or I want to ask a question relating to a previous episode that I can't quite remember the details of, etc. 😂
Folks, do any of you remember a blog post that used "gears" as a simple metaphor for how much capacity/energy a person has at a given day or point in life?
Gist was that the lowest gear is "just do what's needed to survive" and the highest gear is when you might be able to work towards complex goals/projects/etc?
Pretty sure it was in the context of Spoons Theory, maybe also neurodiversity. I think I saw it on here, but don't seem to have bookmarked it.
(More context: I've found the metaphor useful, and I want to share the post with a neurodiverse friend who is dealing with some very difficult events but also beating themselves up for not progressing their other work/life goals at the moment. I just can't find the post!)
I'm going to do a new #introductions post and leave it pinned on my page.
Howdy, everyone! ^_^ I'm the creator of the YA Slice-Of-Paranormal-Life #graphicnovel#webcomic Wapsi Square. I also draw SFW and NSFW paranormal themed pinups that I sell on Ebay.
I dabble in audio #fieldrecording#animation and #miniature building. My comic can best be described as a Slice-of-Paranormal-Life, and some of the big themes are to not judge books by their covers, and learning to deal with your own demons, and mental issues.
If you'd like to check out my comic, the whole archive is free to read here: http://wapsisquare.com/
I wrote this as I'm currently two YouTube videos and a blog into the subject before realizing I should probably be doing a number of other far more pertinent things that are for some reason not as interesting, as though Morse Code ever was before this moment? #ADHD
Apparently i'm not getting my #ADHD meds because there's, once again, a national backorder. > 1wk without now.
I just need to keep reminding myself that it's my 🧠 chemistry that's making it fucking hard to stay on topic and that I'm not just 💩 at doing my assigned tasks. I'm not a bad person for constantly forgetting to do the thing wifey asks me to do 5 seconds after she asks it.
Even so, it's really hard to not feel useless sometimes.
the thing where I’m trying to solve a problem and notice how its shape looks like a similar harder problem and spend a few hours nearly solving the harder problem then get discouraged and then realize that’s not what I was originally working on and I basically have it now but I’m tired
One of the cruelest jokes society plays on the #autistic community is drilling into the brains of very young children with a predisposition for creative, out of the box problem solving, and telling them that they themselves are, in fact, The Problem.
I’m #actuallyautistic and #adhd. I am an #emote#artist. I love geeky stuff, animals, games and food. My main #art passion is traditional media. I work mostly with acrylic paint but I also dabble in watercolor. I use #procreate for my digital art. I hope that I find interesting people to follow here. I love to follow art accounts!
