how to deal with a crush aspec friendly DIY tutorial

[uncanny-tranny]

If somebody in your life offers to knit or crochet or, really, create anything for you, please be an active participant in the creation of the piece they are making. I adore making and gifting things, but nothing bums me out quicker than a person who passively just goes "okay," to my ideas about what I'm making them - it can send the message that they won't like it, or that they don't care, even if they're happy about my offering. The back-and-forth feedback is a great way to make sure that you are being gifted something that was truly worth the time, effort, expertise, and money that will inevitably go into the gift!

I know it's really hard to be an active participant, believe me, I'm an anxious ball of horror, but it will only do good for both parties to interact in this situation. It is a big deal to be offered a hand-crafted gift, but it's also something we want you to love and use, and that can only happen if you tell us what would make you fall in love with what we create.

I need at least another $25 to pay my phone bill in a couple days (and that'd leave me no money left for food, let alone rent next month). I'm still unemployed and paralyzed by one of the worst mental health spirals of my life. Anything helps, if you can spare it

This is my ko-fi. Venmo and paypal available by private request. Love y'all

HI HELLO DO YOU LIKE AUDIO DRAMAS, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR OWN AUDIO DRAMA well do I have news for you

for quite some time, I have been working on putting every bit of practical information I have about making a podcast into some kind of readable resource and I'm very happy to say that, by george, I think I've done it.

that link will take you to our resource page which has links to a 35-page handbook that takes you through every step of podcast production (on our merch page, but you can download for zero dollars! do it!) and a direct download of a 15-page pdf about how I take an idea from development through scripting.

this is by no means the be-all-end-all definitive correct guide on how to make an audio drama. as I emphasize many times throughout, this is just how I do things, but it's a pretty thorough rundown of how I do things. if you've been too overwhelmed to start your own show, I sincerely hope this helps you!

Hi friends!

I apologize if this is an odd question, but I’m looking for some advice. Especially those who have hallucinations.

Are “physical” hallucinations exist? Earlier this morning, I felt like I was standing on something warm…but wet?

I have stepped on my cats hairballs, ect. I’m not sure if it’s due to that or I’m getting paranoid. Thought?

how do you explain to a doctor that like “yeah i’ve thought about killing myself at least once a month since i was fourteen and my anxiety puts me into an extended period of fight or flight every time i leave the house and i frequently engage in self destructive behaviors including various forms of self-harm” without them institutionalizing you

how do i say that in a way that says “it’s not that serious i’m not actually going to kill myself i’m used to these thoughts but i am dying. i am dying. please help me. but it’s not a big deal”

[kentophilia]

i'm sorry.

hey chat if someone theoretically were to whitewash one of my characters would it be acceptable to ask them (nicely and politely) to make their skin darker or should i just be grateful ...

So. I need advice. About going to homecoming for the first time (with a date, even though as far as i know it's just between acquaintances/friends). My most basic question is: What Do I Do?

[abiteofhoney]

i really really appreciate it, guys, i know you’re all just trying to be kind and supportive. but i am specially on a journey to make this story either shorter or finesse it into multiple books so that i might have a chance at traditional publishing.

i think every writer should be able to just write what they want, however long. but that is not viable for me right now. writing it as long as i wanted is what got me into this 200k word mess in the first place.

Google, what do you do when you hear your family talking about politics and you can't just leave and you can't change their opinions either so you know you have to remain silent but you're going to lose your damn mind

[autisticlee]

that feeling when you get advice from someone who you know is well-meaning and has good intentions....but it's just the most allistic, neurotypical, and/or abled advice you have ever heard and completely invalidates the point you're trying to make about why you struggle to do the thing in the first place.

they're telling you to "do it in this specific way that is completely opposite of how you physically/mentally work" for example, make eye contact/read people's facial expressions and intentions! but you're autistic. initiate verbal conversation and don't be shy! but you're nonverbal or semispeaking. get out of the house more and participate in these physical activities! but you're physically disabled. Just Be Yourself! but you have DID/OSDD/other personality disorder. etc.

i'm sorry. I know you're just trying to help. I appreciate it, really. but it's all things i've heard before and none of it helps me specifically. I have tried (maybe even still try out of habit) and learned I can't just do those things. they don't work for me or cause more issues. practice isn't the issue. not everyone can simply willpower through everything. but thanks for trying 😔✊️

Hey folks. Anyone here who is fashion-aware who would like to help someone who struggles with it?

I'm going to a wedding in a colder area (Northeast US) this November. I'd like to embrace dressing in a more butch fashion, but I have no idea where to start. I'm fat and I have a large chest & hips - I doubt I can just rent a suit or something.

Any help would be appreciated here. I'm also up for chatting one on one with more details!
