Sometimes I love our interconnected world.

A few weeks ago, I saw a picture on the BBC website of an adorable manatee mother and child. I loved it, and I wondered if I could get a print. I looked up the credited photographer, and found him at his university. I emailed a query.

He emailed back from a different address saying that he keeps his photography and his employment income separate. (Excellent work, good job, sir!) He said he DOES sell prints. He has them custom printed by a museum-quality print shop, and that I could have basically any size I wanted.

So I said yes, absolutely! How can I pay you?

He replied that he usually sends the print out first and if the customer is satisfied he sends an invoice. He also noted that communication might be spotty because he is on a photoshoot of endangered animals IN THE FUCKING AMAZON.

I said absolutely no problem are you fucking kidding me. The print arrived today, it is gorgeous, stunning, absolutely museum quality. He is going to email me the invoice tomorrow if his internet holds out because UPRIVER IN THE AMAZON.

So I, in Minnesota, ordered a print from a researcher in Florida that I saw on the BBC that was printed for me in Washington D.C. and the invoice is being emailed to me from the Amazon.

Whenever I feel down about the dystopian nature of the planet, I think about shit like this.

Humans can be pretty goddamn great, and so can technology.

My theory of adhd management is that in order to focus there are 4 things that need to be sufficiently occupied:

Eyes

Ears

Hands (or body)

Brain

And if you aren’t occupying them enough or there’s too many things demanding the use of one, it’ll start to wreck havoc on your ability to do things.

So for example, listening to a podcast. This occupies your ears and brain as you focus on both listening and processing what you hear, but it leaves your hands and eyes completely without anything to do. If you tried to sit down and just listen to a podcast by itself you’d probably get unbearably bored and stop doing it.

But if you pair that activity with something that uses your hands and eyes, like a craft, household chore, or commute, suddenly you’re fully plugged in and can in fact focus better on both tasks than you could if you tried doing them separately.

It’s also why you can’t listen to a podcast while doing homework; you’re trying to use your brain for two different tasks. To occupy your ears while doing homework (which is already using eyes, brain, and hands) you need something for your ears that doesn’t require your brain: music. Specifically music that doesn’t use too much brain power, which is why some people prefer instrumentals or songs in other languages.

Hyperfixation and sensory overload change this by moving the threshold for how much sensory input you need to be able to function. If I’m extremely focused on a craft project (eyes, hands, brain) I might not even need something for my ears; my interest in the project makes up for it. If i’ve had a very overwhelming day, trying to listen to an audiobook while I do some stretches could be too much to process. My brain needs a break.

Video games, which pretty much universally occupy all 4 areas, are basically instant, easy focus wrapped up in a neat little bow. No wonder adhd-havers tend to love them.

If you’re struggling with a task, try looking at which areas it occupies and which are left unattended. Then try to find something enjoyable to fill those gaps, and see if that helps.

Another trans person came and sat next to me on the bus and we browsed our respective tumblrs in silence. This is a good morning.

happy butch appreciation day to all my fellow butches!

when I was teaching an art class I had one of the kids I was teaching come up to me and ask if I was an adult tomboy and then proceeded to tell me about her friend who is also a tomboy and I thought that was quite possible the cutest thing a kid ever said to me and also describes my gender pretty well since kids don’t tend to know about butch as an identity

daniel is so shocked to find out they kept and psychosexually tortured him for 6 days in the 70's, like babygirl what exactly do you think they're doing to you right now 50 years later? making things burst into flame, disorienting you by extracting your painful memories, drinking blood right from the source while moaning obscenely and holding direct eye contact with you, appearing in front of you suddenly with vampiric speed, anything to make you squirm and tense and gasp, yeah sure that's just normal regular interview behavior. WAKE UP daniel they want to suck your dick i mean blood

The largest known population of one of Australia’s rarest birds has been found living in Western Australia’s Great Sandy desert.

A team of Ngururrpa rangers and scientists detected the stronghold of up to 50 night parrots - a critically endangered species once feared extinct - living on Indigenous-managed land, according to a study published in Wildlife Research.

I'm trying to get back into the groove of things. I am currently diving headfirst into one of my oldest hyper fixations. I finished this a few days ago after taking too long to work on it, but well....
