after several discussions that left me baffled, let me throw this out to the masses: do you look at ao3's icons when you're looking for a fic to read?

#polls #babygirl i got limited time to look at screens every day i sort by color which tags to even look at lmfao #ao3

As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, one thing that’s been helping me grapple with the intense shame I have over all my “wasted potential” is accepting that potential doesn’t exist and never did.

This sounds so harsh, but please bare with me.

I procrastinated a lot growing up. I still procrastinate today, but less so. And yet, I got good grades. I could write an A+ paper that “knocked [my professor]’s socks off” in the hour before class and print it with sweat running down my face.

I was so used to hearing from teachers and family that if I just didn’t procrastinate and worked all the time, I could do anything! I had all this potential I wasn’t living up to!

And that’s true, as far as it goes, but that’s like saying if Usain Bolt just kept going he could be the fastest marathon runner in the world. Why does he stop at the end of the race??

If ANYONE could make their top speed/most productive setting the one they used all the time, anyone could do anything. But you can’t. Your top speed is not a speed you’re able to sustain.

Now, I’ve found that I do need to work on not procrastinating. Not because the product is better, even, but because it’s better for my mental health and physical health to not have a full, sweating, panicked breakdown over every task even if the task itself turns out excellently. It’s a shitty way to live! You feel bad ALL the time! And I don’t deserve to live like that anymore.

So all of this to say, I’m not wasting a ton of potential. I don’t have an ocean of productivity and accomplishments inside of me that I could easily, effortlessly access if I just sat down 8 hours a day and worked. There’s no fucking way. That’s not real. It’s an illusion. It’s fine not to live up to an illusion.

And if you have ADHD, I mean this from the bottom of my heart: you do not have limitless potential confounded by your laziness. You have the good potential of a good person, and you can access it with practice and work, but do not accept the story that you are choosing not to be all that you are or can be. You are just a human person.

#man the therapist i tried a few years back was so confounded when i expressed a similar view #asked me if i feel i have wasted potential and want to unlock it with therapy. #granted i sounded like a conspiracy theorist back then harking about how potential is a lie told to no-longer-gifted kids to shame em lmao #but this reframing has been a solid part of why i'm largely functional nowadays

cursed shadow zone of packing for a trip between "i am certainly going to forget at least five out of a hundred Very Important Things and ruin the whole thing" and "i've done this enough times that the actual packing takes about half an hour, all the essentials are covered, and whatever gets forgotten i can live without for five days" where i get it done too fast for the anxietypilled fretmaxxer in my brain to accept as done. aough.

#majówkaposting babeyyyy #goblin noises. #my days r gonna be packed but i get a nice apartment all to myself to sleep in. returning to family is going to hurt extra </3

Zainspirowany takimi fajnymi eventami polskiego tumblra jak @jedzonkopyszne czy @polish-art-tournament postanawiam podjąć się organizacji polblrowej wymiany przepisowej. Przybywajcie! Pokażmy sobie nawzajem, ��e gotować umieją nie tylko panie Aniegotują, Asiezkwestiismaku, Martyjadłonomie i inni Rozkoszni i Makłowicze ;)

FORMULARZ DO ZGŁOSZEŃ: https://forms.gle/DMKfoA4PbZCRDNMe6

ZASADY:

zgłoszenia są przyjmowane wyłącznie przez formularz do dnia 05.05.2024 do godziny 23:59

uczestnik może zgłosić się tylko raz (w przypadku kilku wysłanych formularzy pod uwagę będzie brany ten najpóźniejszy)

do 05.05.2024 do godziny 23:59 można się również ewentualnie wycofać z wymiany

obowiązuje limit zgłoszeń: 75 osób. kto pierwszy ten lepszy!

najpóźniej 08.05.2024 uczestnicy otrzymają mailowo oraz (jeśli nie mają tej funkcji zablokowanej) w wiadomości na tumblrze informacje o osobie, która została im wylosowana

do 30.05 należy wysłać do organizatora wymiany na adres [email protected] przepis w formacie pdf zgodny z prośbą wylosowanej osoby (należy zwrócić uwagę na informacje o alergiach, dietach, preferowanym typie jedzenia)

do przepisu musi być dołączone przynajmniej jedno zdjęcie osobiście przygotowanej według przepisu potrawy

przesyłany przepis musi być przejrzyście i estetycznie sformatowany: mieć oddzielnie wypisane składniki i ich ilości, potrzebny do przygotowania go sprzęt kuchenny, czynności wypunktowane krok po kroku

do przepisu można dołączyć krótką notatkę dla osoby, którą się wylosowało, oraz podpisać się (imieniem lub tumblrową nazwą użytkownika)

plik z przepisem można ozdobić w programach graficznych (a nawet fajnie by było, jakby się to zrobiło :)), jednak należy pamiętać o zachowaniu czytelności przepisu!

przesyłany przepis nie może być po prostu wzięty z istniejącego bloga kulinarnego lub książki kucharskiej, choć może być takim inspirowany (warto wtedy w notatce zaznaczyć, co było inspiracją)

po otrzymaniu przepisu wskazane jest wypróbować go i pochwalić się rezultatem! i otagować organizatora wymiany @wymiana-kulinarna, żebym mógł zreblogować i pokazać wszystkim, jakie wyszły nam cudeńka ;)

#emotka oczęta #recipes #poliż #my polish tag is going to be terribly apt for this owo.

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

#just as i was getting on top of properly organizing the linear flow of time in memory too. watch 30s invent timeloops to throw me off again

you wanna see some badass shit from the early 20th century?? The Lumière brothers created the first full color photograph… in fucking 1903! So these dudes dyed potatoes (in red, blue, and green), mashed them down into just pure fuckin’ starch, and used these dyed potato starches as filters to block out/let in certain wavelengths of light. They coated one side of a glass plate with the starches and sensitized the other side with a mixture of gelatin and light sensitive materials (silver nitrate) and loaded these plates in their cameras.. This is a really simple explanation of the process and I may have missed some things A few of my favorite autochrome photos:

#oh wow the light off the water in the last one. #photography
