Do any other oriented aroaces just feel EXTREME aesthetic attraction? Like I’m omni-oriented. I’ve never felt romantic or sexual attraction, but some people you gotta blink twice to make sure it isn’t god you’re seeing cuz they’re SO DAMN PRETTY???? AND HOT?????? LIKE WHY???? SHARE SOME WITH THE REST OF US???? Idk if it’s partially the fact that I’m autistic, but I feel like I’m almost visually stimming with them I find them so aesthetically pleasing LMAO. Plus, I feel bad for staring cuz I don’t wanna send the wrong message. I promise I’m not thinking dirty, you’re just really fucking hot 😭🙏

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

it can be disability pride month AND gay wrath month. it's also south asian heritage month in the uk. it's also national ice cream month! the important thing is to do as much as we can to ignore US independence day. this should be the cause that unites us all.

Probably could’ve put more effort into the background but I ran out of motivation about halfway through :/

“june is over so now it’s gay wrath month” blah blah reminder that july is disability pride month and is often ignored and disregarded!! funnel that wrath into advocating for your disabled peers and amplifying their voices

Me, age 10, doing an essay on the pharoah’s curse for school: huh. So this archeologist that died and everyone thought it was because he disturbed the pharoah’s tomb actually died because he used a rusty razor to shave and it infected a mosquito bite. I can see how people could come to that conclusion, but it is a bit silly
Me, today, shaving my mosquito bite-ridden legs: I must tread carefully lest I incur the pharoah’s wrath

Happy Pride Month :)
I can’t believe it’s already almost over… I haven’t met my gay quota for this year, so here’s a lil comic!
I apologise to Idris Elba for my awful Pentecost drawing (to be fair to myself, this is the first time I’ve drawn him)

Not much… it’s pretty warm here and I’m just drawing and watching YouTube tbh
meant to be thinking about summer plans but the ADHD is ADHDing and the fact that I’m doing anything at all is pretty impressive.
also still recovering from the spider incident. Yeesh.

Very much enjoyed my day out in London! Went to see Hamilton, ended up spending a good 30 minutes on the bench outside the guard house in The Sign of Three because someone had painted his initials on it!!

extremely unsexy of adhd to make me both very annoying and very sensitive to the concept of being perceived as annoying
