big shoutout to the gas station near my house which is running a deal on energy drinks and thought the best way to express this on their large LED sign was to make it read BANG MONSTER 2/$5

Updates and Urgent Help Needed

hi everyone, again! i have good news, wild news, and stressful news that's pretty much on par with a month or two ago.

good news: Very very slowly we are working toward ADHD medication! VERY VERY SLOWLY.

wild news: i cant start NHS therapy again until i'm medicated for ADHD as i currently go non-verbal and the NHS locally no longer offers assistance for people who can't physically speak during therapy.

stressful news: hoo boy, money, again. while I'm finally getting govt help, it doesn't fully cover my rent & bills. last time i talked about this i mentioned that between the govt help and the last of my savings it was getting 'a bit skin-of-my-teeth' and well, that's all gone now. following Aug 3rd i will be in constant shortfall against my rent and bills by about £450 - £500 a month until i can finally get this sorted out.

i AM still trying to get the shortfall covered and to move somewhere cheaper, but not only is it taking a lot of time, i'm also having to deal with an uptick in worsening mental health because I'm on a bunch of waitlists, and bills + food needs don't just stop for the slowass wheels of the govt or the NHS, unfortunately.

i'm trying to keep upbeat, i've been focusing on learning how to do better 3D art so I can eventually offer something back, but i'm still not out of the woods yet. hopefully, hopefully, we're getting there though.

If you can help, my paypal is HERE. If you want to help but can't, please just share this post. Thank you for reading.

the link is https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/helpingus if it breaks again

also just well wishes in general would be nice, i've been deeply isolated lately because i've been suffering Baby's First Heatwave While Taking SSRIs and thusly sleeping for like 16 hours a day.

thank you 💝💝💐💐

Full offense to those who swallowed “rainbow capitalism bad” but rainbow capitalism has always been a neutral barometer for social acceptance of LGBT people. When rainbow capitalism is big, a corporation sees marketing to LGBT people and projecting at least an image of acceptance as potentially worth losing homophobic customers over. And when they scale back, the opposite.

So yeah to the gays celebrating the death of rainbow capitalism, you are a useful idiot.

The first time I made crispy roasted chickpeas (for the stew), I said to my husband, “Now that I know how easy these are, I’m unstoppable.”

The second time I made them (for a salad topping), I said, “Do you want any more of these to snack on? I might have some more, but I don’t know… Actually, these are so easy I can’t afford not to eat them.”

Honestly? Life-changing snack. Go fuck myself. Wonderful chickpea revolution. Here’s what you do: dry these beans as much as you can (strainer, then paper towels), toss with olive oil and salt, bake on tray at 200c for like 30 minutes, stirring 2~3 times. Sprinkle with delicious spices, or pop directly in mouth.

(Also, the salad dressing is yogurt, tahini, roasted garlic, lemon, and olive oil, blended roughly with a fork and left in the fridge a few hours. It is also delicious.)

Out of all my rats, Toast is by far the easiest to photograph! She seems to understand that she needs to pose, and every photo session with her ends up with the majority of photos being ones that I like. Her signature pose has to be this derpy smile - its too adorable and she manages to get at least a handful of smiley derps in each photoshoot!

if you like crafting and also free things, might i suggest the antique pattern library?

it’s a not for profit that’s gathering books, patterns, and other materials related to crafting that are out of copyright (or getting permission from copyright holders in some cases) in order to share them online. they scan items, clean them up, then make everything available for free!

free things are great, especially when you’re just starting to get into something. like oh, i’m supposed to spend money on this hobby i just picked up 20 minutes ago???

the first time i ended up on the site, i seriously spent hours just trawling through everything. there’s the usual suspects like knitting, crochet, embroidery, but there’s also woodwork, calligraphy, and books on things like how to mount and frame pictures. with cross stitch patterns, they also make modern charts with the dmc colour codes available.
