If you don’t have a friend that is willing to raise social (and maybe literal) hell on your behalf, do you even have friends?
Captain Jack Harkness (doctor who, multiple seasons starting with season 2-3 or so of the 2008 reboot) is the media embodiment of this hypothesis.
They spell out very clearly that the time he comes from, they don’t have hang ups over gender and sex, they just do whatever’s good. So he’s very very openly bisexual and a bit of a slut with lax boundaries, because why not? Do what’s good. But he’s still masculine and appealing and a great character all around.
I also have to assume they probably do rotations, like watch/guard duty in the military, of control room and more active work, or it would get suuuuper boring real fast. Plus their skills would get rusty if nothing ever happened.
But maybe I’m overly optimistic.
😅 that’s very flattering but it’s just a lifetime of knowing myself..
I was dx adhd at 5, medicated much too heavily until 13 (my current dose is half of my dose when I was half my present weight), when I removed myself to try working my own way through stuff.. served military and got a college degree. Now in my mid 30s I’m a disaster! I got rediagnosed and remedicated. I have a 9 month supply because I don’t actually take it except when I need to do -one thing- and then it’s magic. For a day.. It’s way too intense for daily use for me though.
I’ve always known I had different needs and maybe that makes it easier for me to work with them? I have so many things I want to do so if I come even close that’s a win.
Omg that’s the best feeling fr fr. It’s so hard to be a social human adult woman (platonically).
So proud for you!
Tell me more about this therapy you’ve finished training for. What led you to it? I assume you have like medical credentials of some variety?
(I’m a science communicator, so don’t feel weird telling me things, I’ll ask for clarification if I don’t understand something! Please info dump.)
I was going to post this somewhere else but this is a better fit I think..
Over the last two days, as a birthday gift to myself, I scratched my “two year move itch” in which the poverty of my history makes me want to relocate every 2 years on average.
I’ve owned a place for over a decade now, so to scratch my poverty move itch, I change around my setup. I can’t really go anywhere but I have a few rooms and I can move things around a bit.
So I bought myself a new bed frame. One that fits the mattress better and also keeps my cats out from under it, looks nice.. whole nine. But I had to move the entire room around to make it work. It was a 6 hour job and because adhd turned into a whole weekend.
And I’m super not upset. Everything about how it went was what I expect in my life so I gave myself a whole weekend to do it and it took that and I was right. And that feels good. I deep cleaned the room as I moved everything around, and having one fully clean room is a great launch point for cleaning everything else! (Someday!)
Dude, hard recommend. You’ll change your stance on sweet vs corn based (already a bit sweet).
You’ve never had a pancake dog and it shows.
It’s a breakfast sausage (light on salt or omg it would be so much) dipped in a thick pancake batter and deep fried, then drizzled with maple syrup.
Divine.
I do the same thing, but you do realize you do it -because- it’s a problem, right?
Like you shouldn’t need a separate email for “I want to buy this/sign up for this, but I know I’m going to get a fuckton of emails so I need to use this separate email address to protect my main one from junk”. That just shouldn’t be a thing.
