  • Haha. We must’ve gotten the same “ADHD BRAIN” update patch - I just did similar! I went with A5 40pg saddle stitch Kraft cover notebooks in a variety of colors, hole punched to fit in 1.25in, 6-ring binders. I went for dot grid for all of my schematic needs! And also someone from Hexbear got me into fountain pens a few months ago… I love them though lol I’ve tried Pilot Kakuno to start, and then Lamy Safari. Safari are really nice. Love all the ink colors too- my currently favorite is purple








  • Cw- talks of excessive drinking and suicidal ideation dubois-dance tequila-sunset

    spoiler

    ___ Alcohol is a depressant and messes with your serotonin and causes a laundry list of related issues. By the time you’ve aged, your body is unable to process this literal poison as effectively as when you were younger. When you’re coming up from a hangover it is intensely important to remember that it amplifies thoughts associated what that depressant classification- suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety- and worsens how essentially every one of your major organ systems function.

    I used to be a problem drinker-still am given the opportunity-in order to cope with anxiety/de-mask in social situations/de-stress. I’ve heard it described as paying for tonight’s fun with tomorrow’s happiness. For me, it’s been essential to understand why I’m drinking, and in addition to regular water drinking, take regular mental check-ins. When I drink a pint or two with friends it’s usually as a social lubricant. When I stay at the bar after for another 8 by myself-there’s usually something else going on.

    Frankly it’s literal self-harm. It’s only legal because capitalists use it to exploit the proletariat to great effect.

    That said too, 4 pints in a night now give me the equivalent hangover that a case would- aka the enshittification of my liver- and yes it will happen to young folks too- faster than you think. I’ve heard 100% agave tequila doesn’t have the same depressant effect. Idk if it’s true, but if I wanna get blasted that’s usually my drink of choice.

    I try to stick to thc edibles now when I want a buzz- in a legal state so unfortunately isn’t the case for everyone.

    Final moralizing point- take care of yourself, friend. Treat yourself like you would a dear friend. Drink water, talk about what’s bothering you, and pace yourself. We live in a hell world, and can only persist together. The capitalists want you to drink yourself to death-don’t give them that pleasure.




  • I love that! I actually haven’t read that one- but SER press is always good. Thanks! I’ve been trying to experiment with small scale prairie restoration at my home- I have one garden going on 2 years old, and one going on one. Going to try interplanting with edibles and see how they compare with my raised bed stuff. I’ve been giving out seed and instructions with how to establish it in a box on the sidewalk. I wish there was a way to non-intrusively have people submit location/condition info, because I feel like it’d be cool to map/develop an urban/suburban ecological corridor
