I talk a lot about MCAS and TTRPGs. Canadian-Australian living in Alberta. Probably won't follow you if you're American. I get enough of that on every other social platform. Occasional Christian-posting. Occasional Ace-posting.
Traditional advice for this would look like "Emotionally hard tasks are usually accomplished not by making them feel easy first, but by learning how to act while they still feel difficult." NOPE.

Hey @roryreckons.bsky.social, I think you might find this interesting (pretty sure you're the person who I've heard talk about the downsides of meditation for neurodivergent people) www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
When meditation goes wrong: part one - ABC listen
Meditation has a lot of benefits, but could it also have risks? Over the past decade, meditation and mindfulness have been promoted to reduce stress and increase relaxation. But there is another sto...

In 1995 there were just 51 kākāpō left. Recovery of critically endangered species _is_ possible with sustained effort. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots
I've been seeing a lot of "well I guess this is the way things are now" "ah another line of evidence that we are a fallen empire", attitude that I am begging people to shake off. There are people working their butts off to make things better. Please don't give up. Join us.
New feature! Organise your browser tabs vertically! We just reinvented the bookmarks bar guys.
"Comment [word] and I'll send you my thing!" now people don't even have to go looking for links to stuff this is gonna go so well in the future.
I have heard of two of these. I guess I am not in mainstream bubbles.
dame@dame.is · 3d agoit’s that time of year again, Rolling Stone released their list of the top 25 content creators, which is actually a test of how old and out of touch you are… the lower your score, the more out of touch i’ve heard of 11 out of 25
Friends, I need help. Mila has figured out how to put her paw up the auto feeder and claw kibbles out to her heart’s delight. Any auto feeder recommendations that are extra hard for smart kitty paws?
Introduce yourself with five artists you’ve seen at least twice Leeland That's it, that's the only artist I've seen twice. (Unless we start counting Mom's choir, Mom's orchestra, homeschool choir, local string orchestras, etc.)

Every day I discover new and stupider places where manufacturers add fragrance.
Lyndall@lyndallc.bsky.social · 4d agoDamn you really don't realise how much you accommodate yourself until you visit someone else's house. This thought brought to you by getting FRAGRANCE BOMBED while cat-sitting for the neighbour because cat litter APPARENTLY HAS FRAGRANCE IN IT?????

So annoyed when I see content about matriarchy or comments about "this is why we need a matriarchy". No we fucking don't. We need EQUALITY.
Things that suck about being human—the right kind of stretch one day that loosens up just the part that’s been bothering me and having a day or two relief. Until a related part goes “ooooh that lack of pain is nice! I can move different now, Ahh that’s… ope. There it is now I hurt too”
Honestly they should take those massive trucks off the road.
Unfortunately it was this Thursday when the allergist told me, "I'm sorry, I don't know what specialty might deal with that" about suspected ORAL ALLERGY SYNDROME and FRAGRANCE SENSITIVITIES, after saying she couldn't help me because none of my prick tests were positive.
Heather Hill@rollin-academic.bsky.social · 4w agoA question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
Seeing comments on Instagram that are like "If you use a washcloth on your butt, wash that in hot water with laundry disinfectant and then you're good to go!" Nah bro, CHILL.
Turns out when you wrap the tatting shuttle the correct way around it gets A LOT easier to actually tat lol. (I had it set clockwise looking from the top, but it works way better when the thread is wound anticlockwise as viewed from the top.)
Practicing tatting, and you're supposed to wrap the thread around your left pinky to help tension it. It keeps sliding around like nobody's business. Because this book is written in Japan and I live in Alberta where it's stupid dry and my hands are also dry.
Make your favourite film sound as boring as possible without giving away the title: A woman goes to a strange place and sings a lot.

We have a Rise woman who needs help paying her phone bill. Losing her car to flooding led this precious woman to not be able to work for some time and now things are piling up. She has some relief coming but her phone bill is overdue and we all need a phone to stay functioning in our society.
Day 4 without antihistamines. Allergy test day! Hopefully we find something to make all this worthwhile.
Dolly Parton and Patti LaBelle playing their acrylics. Two icons.
I just want to build a new society built around a common understanding: If you have more money than you could ever spend and you still want more, you are a fundamentally broken human who needs supportive intervention before you are fit to participate in a healthy, functioning community.
Ok I left my house and did half a shift at work yeeeeaahhh I react to stuff. (Work was ok. The walk there and back I got exposed to fragrance and pollen and such.)
Lyndall@lyndallc.bsky.social · last wk.Day 3 without antihistamines, I slept great and feel normal. Doubting if I even have MCAS. (Probably if I leave my house I will immediately stop doubting.) Also the nortriptyline is probably doing a lot to keep my system stable.

I kind of really love the long-running trend of YouTubers and short-form content creators clipping their mics to random household objects.
