here’s what i’ve figured out so far:

-gotta have eat first

-gotta sleep enough first

(seriously so many days i’m like “i have all afternoon I’ma Do a Thing” and then i just kinda buzz around and do Nothing and think “WHY” and then i’m like “oh yeah i’m really fuckening tired”)

-gotta be Excited About It (ADHD brain only does things if they’re Literally the Most Interesting Thing Happening Right Now) (so like, hype yourself up to work on a project, or think about how happy you’ll be with a cleaner room/all those chores done)

-gotta have small, doable first step (like, “get cloth from fabric drawer” or “open google docs”

-FUCK distractions (computer is in drawer, phone is Off)

-Engage the Senses (if task needs Brain, play vague background Music, if task needs No Brain, listen to audiobook/podcast)

-maybe set time limit so i don’t get lost??? e.g. i have a little egg timer that i use because the ticking isn’t distracting but is enough to remind me that Time is a Thing that is Passing Right Now

-gotta have Self Awareness and Thinky about the Moment (get into the habit of Consciously Noticing what you’re doing at the moment, so you’re more likely to go “wait, this isn’t what i wanted to be doing” and be able to redirect)

-be willing to redirect and try to do something else if whatever you want to do Just Isn’t Happening

-DON’T beat yourself up for only doing part of something, or failing entirely- all that does is make your brain associate “trying to do stuff” with “well that SUCKED”. Which means you don’t want to try again. Tell urself u did good for trying, and if it didn’t work, try again later, or figure out why it didn’t work and try a different way. Reward yourself for trying

this is what i’ve figured out about cajoling the Thinky No Worky Brain into Doing Stuff. it’s not 100% reliable, especially if I forget to do some of these things (like SLEEP), but it’s what i got, ya know??

I wasn’t actually expecting any answers when I made that post but damn this is really helpful, thank you <3

Okay great how do I prevent other people from seeing the things I like.

Are you telling me people have been able to see my weird stuff THIS ENTIRE TIME? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN ON THIS DAMN WEBSITE.

Yes okay thank you, I will go have a crisis... Er, somewhere else.

I don’t and will never understand why the interner collectively shat on Guy Fieri from like 2005 to 2015.

The man does more active and hands on work for underprivileged communities than literally any politician, he brings joy to millions of people weekly with his shows, he makes sure to include his family in his work, and he highlights some of the best and least known small businesses in America.

Just because he can be slightly cringe from time to time, the internet decided nah fuck this epic human being and his flaming bowling shirts and sunglasses on the back of his head and frosted tips, we ain’t about him.

Man fuck Y'ALL, Guy Fieri deserves better. He’s the Mayor of fucking flavortown and a hands down decent human being, more than can be said for his haters.

For non-union folks that will never be union, you certainly can cosplay, but you can also choose not to and be vocal about why or use your cosplay to participate in active striking (there have been theme days at some of the studios) or be vocal about the strike while at Cons - maybe carry a sign or wear a pro-strike button prominately.
