went to a garage sale and bought a yankee screwdriver for ONE DOLLAR holy shit. i've wanted one of these for literally years but not enough to justify spending $30-60 on one!
#the chuck & bit were seized but i have successfully loosened them!#lots of penetrating oil#and looking at forum threads#ppl were like ''pry it open with another screwdriver''#and i was thinking like oh god i'm gonna damage it. i just got it#but it just zooped right open!#i've ordered a magnetic hex socket bit so i can use like. all my other bits & stuff#god i'm so jazzed#the spindle IS definitely bent lol but it still works very handily#personal#keeping it fun and funky fresh

Caregiving while neurodivergent?
I've been looking into support resources or any information I might be able to pass on to a caregiver loved one who themself is neurodiverse (ADHD, possibly AuDHD)
They're the sole caretaker of their elderly parents w/ intensive healthcare needs while also having been a single parent for 18+ years themself, and that's a lot to do without much support. Especially with a late diagnosis and either neurodivergent or firmly repressed family.
They don't let it show but I know my ADHD makes compassion fatigue hit way harder (plus typical ADHD burnout) so I can't imagine having to also be a full-time caregiver.
I'm rambling but basically I can't find shit online since popular society & healthcare professionals haven't truly accepted that neurodiverse adults with stereotypically "neurotypical" responsibilities exist. Or that neurodiverse adults even exist full stop.
So, this is a full plea asking if anyone has reliable information (websites, videos, podcasts); free/inexpensive resources; or their own tips, experiences, and advice!
ideas for helpful gifts & supplies are also welcome (tis the holiday season)
TL;DR I want to help a family caregiver who is neurodivergent, but I can't find any resources or info! Help???
(even if you don't have anything, reblogs are adored and appreciated and loved pls!!!)
(you're also welcome to bemoan this problem w me it's engagement & solidarity)
#neurodivergent#neurodiversity#adhd#actually adhd#audhd#autism#autistic adult#they're undiagnosed but suspect and anyways I think using this as a forum for all types of nd people would be nice#if more info helps theyre a woc whose family is liberal/left and accepts mental illness & neurodivergence is real#but in the “yes thats true but Not For Me!!!” way thats absolutely exhausting#mental health#mental health tips#caregiving#caregiver#hm i hope those arent mainly horknee tags on this site#also yes i checked reddit there is 1 thread from a while ago with no replies to that poor op aaaaaa#i am looking into both nd & caregiver support groups but. the intersection is important i think#need advice#will all this tagging help or hinder me? idk we'll see!#save#adulting#i know yall use that tag#they call me The Rambler cause I couldnt even be concise at gunpoint#edit: they are diagnosed adhd undiagnosed autism. thats what my earlier tag meant

#guild wars 2#gw2#my posts#HOLY SHIT??????????????#OK BUT#YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

ANETTTT.#HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME#THEY'RE REALLY GONNA MAKE ME BUY A FULL PRICE MOUNT..................... AUGH. I am SO tempted ok#AND THE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS CHOICE IS JUST#RUJU'S BADMANDER VERSE HAS A STEAM WYVERN.#IT'S FEATURED IN ONE OF MY UNPUBLISHED WIPS...#SADLY Scarlet already has her own dedicated skyscale (a lunarmane named Foxglove as it happens)#otherwise this would be PERFECT for her too#bonus note: it looks different in my preview because I was testing more watchwork-like dyes on it :3c#ANYWAY there will never be a more perfect time to apply the 'this is my hole' Junji Ito meme so. throws this and runs#shitposts

Wanted to see what the feedback on the latest Sims 4 update was so I went to the Sims forum and. They're taking down the 14yo forums at the end of the month apparently?? And replacing them with a really bad almost unusable EA forum thing?? Devastated. I understand that the forums were barely holding on and that the site is old, but the replacement is absolutely not high quality enough for any kind of community, let alone one the size and importance of the Sims community.
#and personally i can't believe it because that's how i got into the game in the first place#reading people's buckwild stories on inadequate forum threads#that was probably one of the worst ways to tell a story and those people did it and did it in a fun way#and it made me want to play the game so so much because they looked like they were having the time of their lives#and it's all going down barely archived in a few days#they're archiving like two years back! for a game a decade old!!#and let's not even mention the sims 3 side#i don't think anyone on this website is going to get my very specific plight because it's such a niche experience#like if i mention names no one was lurking the sims 4 french forum reading about the komcépié legacy in 2015 here#but i was. i sure was and it was my childhood and i hate being confronted with the fact that everything disappears one day#the way there's few conservation efforts for online stuff that was important to a small number of people#anyway. this too shall pass but in a bad way this time. why must it pass.#wow i have a ramble tag now

Astromorph [Among Us x Chonny Jash]
Soooo this fic has done numbers on the Chonny Jash Fanserver, so I thought it'd be worth it to start being on tumblr more often and posting it here! Be warned, there be emotional damage ahead! (and also polycule shenanigans)
Special thanks to @chemical-bunz for cowriting chapter 2 with me, and also helping me port it from google docs to ao3.
Deep in space, there is a crew on the ship Tycho with one united goal: curing the Astromorph virus, a parasitic infection that causes its victims to turn into monsters.
Seven dead bodies later, only four members of the crew remain; Atlas Terraquis, Apollo Kingsman, Doctor Artemis Juno, and Harmonia Goodei; and they’re no closer to their goal of curing the infection.
Now, one more is gone, and their fragile peace is corroding all at once.
#chonny jash#among us#cccc#astromorph#among the stars#soul chonny jash#heart chonny jash#mind chonny jash#whole chonny jash#polytrident#er whatever the hmws polycule is called#:P#this is my pride and joy#gore#body horror#a lot of The Horrors#it seriously does make me happy#the thread for this is the most popular thread in the au forums in cjfs and i'm super proud of that#look ma! i made a hit tweet! /silly

It makes me so sad to realise how much of the Internet that shaped my childhood/early teenage years disappeared (because of the end of flash or just because no one uses these websites anymore) but fucking 15-18 from jvc is still here
#everytime i google a question in english i get a nice reddit thread and when i look for the same in french i always end up on a forum post#from jvc from like 10+ years ago. and the first ten answers to the question are just slurs

being the friend that's "too woke" fucking sucks because everyone else can talk about their political beliefs just fine, but the moment you say something, the conversation either dies or you get berated for it. god forbid you want to talk about any lesser-acknowledged type of discrimination (E.G. sanism, fatphobia, ageism, etc.)!!
#personal#fatphobia#sanism mention#<- both mostly in the tags#even in the spaces I'm validated most people will briefly turn on Me if I bring up any political take that they don't want to consider#so RN I'm watching people saying 'oh it's fine for children to be fat but fat adults are just lazy'#KNOWING that nobody is gonna back Me up if I say 'maybe moralizing weight is bad actually'#I remember once calling a character most people consider 'average-looking' fat#in comparison to how a female character considered 'ugly' WITH THE EXACT SAME BODY TYPE is treated and everyone was like#'you stupid fucking SJW he's not fat at all. he's just a bit out-of-shape. stop being stupid.'#I've called out the demonization of antisocial personality TWICE on that forum and both times the thread immediately died forever#the plight of being marginalized is that even the people who like you the most can't be relied upon to defend you#in the face of their moderate discomfort and your violent oppression#moreover. the plight of being multiply marginalized is that even the people who stand with you against one oppression#will turn on you over another#BUT ANYWAY. time to move on. it's honestly best not to waste My energy on people who won't listen to Me anyway#you've gotta focus your efforts on making an actual difference not pleading with the willfully ignorant to change their ways

i can feel myself shifting the way i approach inhumanity. i no longer want to be a passive party, i do not want to be the dog waiting at your door. i do not want to be a doll that is pristine and pre-packaged, docile and beautiful in its victimhood. i want to be the thing that is uncannily outside of human. i want you to not be sure what you're looking at when you see me. something that stares too sharply, walks with the confidence that it knows it is supposed to be there, but you should consider whether you are too. i do not want to show off, but to tempt. i do not want to beg you to use me, i want you to feel challenged to try. i love, of course, something else that will transform me and reduce me, warp my mind, reach into me and pull my devotion to the surface. but i would like to make it do so, to prove it deserves my reverence before i choose to offer myself up to the fear it instills in me. i want to submit to you, but i want to step closer to you when the knife's in your hand, rather than run and hope you catch me.
#saintly thoughts#this is not about me wanting anything different from you. it is what has been brewing slowly in my mind for the last few days. aka#uh oh! something looked too far into why it finds the distortion hot and now wishes to emulate it!#'is it monsterfucking to want posthuman entities' the greatest thread in the history of forums locked after 12239 pages of heated debate

me: i want to mod my disc because theres like 10 leds in this thing total. cant be that hard right
propmaking forums: ok! step one, Tear It To Shreds
me: nvm
#txt#primary source torment nexus tag#the 2010 version is much easier to get into since it wasnt Glued Shut but also ppl were hacking a second ring into those bc they only had-#-one c ring . which is fucked up#reddit gave me Nothing . propmaking forum gave me a normal looking thread that started with ''the chips they sell with it can probably be-#-homebrewed like with the crystals for the sabers'' and ended up with ''well i tore out half the internals and had to make new brackets to-#-put it back together'' like ohok thats well above my skill level and the amount i feel like fucking with this#while ripping out the speaker for space because you need a bigger battery for more leds and filing away a lot of the random plastic in-#-there to make space for the leds makes sense in theory for a prop that would feel like giving myself a lobotomy . hope this helps

man I was kind of getting back into being on a writing forum but I might have to dip. the regulars are kind of fucking miserable. sucks
#when I say regulars. genuinely it is a larger writing community#where the active forum users are a handful of people who populate every single thread#and like a lot of these people just fall into the category of. well intentioned but confrontational misanthrope#which is kind of a draining thing to keep reading#and by extension even my TALKING ABOUT IT is miserable to look at so. yeah.#I don't know. it's strange. I just want to see writing advice#I don't want to see people whinging about how the publishing industry sucks bc the audience is dumb or whatever.#like no it's. really not the fault of individuals that the industry is designed to make money and constantly pump work out#like yea it really truly sucks for most authors.#but it's not because. celebrity memoir bad and non-intellectual or whatever#I don't even write with the goal of trad publishing so like my horse in the race is pure apathy towards the industry#but like. jesus christ we know it sucks. why are you blaming the consumers that you'd WANT to be buying your book#yeah. so. bye to this endeavor. it was fun while it lasted#draketxt

anybody remember when it was super common to assign fandom characters to roles in the (cw violence i guess) alice human sacrifice mv 10-15 yrs ago or was that just a warrior cats fandom thing
anyways i'd almost say it should be brought back as a tiktok trend or something but i'm not sure if tiktokers have the attention span to watch a 3 minute video /hj
#it was how i first got introduced to vocaloid KDSJHFKSHFD#linking the mv here so people dont have to look it up themselves and find the other mv with... weird content :\#but yeah it was super common for warrior cats fans idk why. you'd see threads in the wc forums on it a LOT#feeling nostalgic.. i think its one of the main reasons i love edgy vocaloid stuff#personal

So I may or may not have spent a good chunk of my day trying to learn how to look into onis code and while I may not have yet succeeded I will likely keep fucking around with shit tomorrow and if I manage to succeed it'll spell great doom for my sanity as oni becomes the interest I've officially poured the most effort into analyzing
#rat rambles#oni posting#for now I must sleep but hopefully tomorrow Ill figure out how to decompile files#the real question is going to be if Ill be able to do this on my shitty ass laptop or if Ill need to figure smth else out#I just want to be able to view stuff so ideally it won't make my laptop chug too bad but rly Im more worried abt space#I might have to try to do some cleanup and delete some shit maybe Ill go scan through the shit that came pre installed#and hey maybe if I can get this to work I can go mega hacker mode and tweak some stuff for funsies#probably wont since I don't wanna break my game and I dont trust myself but yknow#itd probably help if I actually retained any information from the Two programing classes I took when I was younger but alas#one of them was even specifically a video game programming class and lemme tell you I remember absolutely nothing#also from what little I was able to view without fancy applications I have no new info but I can finally fully put jean in the we 100% know#their last name zone cause while we definitely already 100% did Technically we only got jea- for first name confirmation#but theyre referred to as jean in a note in a bio bot story traits file ty whoever added the notes there#god I hope theres other notes in the files I want to read those so bad#btw this was all spurred by that one nails log that disappeared cause I have found a file that looks like it but I cant fully view it#and I desperately need to view it I need to view it#also if I can look in the code then in theory itll make copying down all the lore logs easier#also the datamining thread of the forums hasnt been particularly active so who knows maybe I can become a proper dataminer#(<- will not do that probably unless it turns out to be easier than I thought)#but admittedly I am interested in hunting for potential future update content even if I probably won't hunt too hard for it#again Im mostly just hunting for lore#hey maybe if Im lucky Ill find some genuinely new and usable information in that department#maybe the secrets of b363 and dr. holland lie in the files ooooo (they probably dont)#man it'd be nice if I had a proper pc itd make my life so much easier and my desk feel less enpty lol#in a world where I get to play videogames at a higher framerate than 10fps#I mean we do have some older computers laying around the house although theyre probably also crusty pieces of shit#idk maybe I can see if I can salvage one itd be nice to have a proper computer to fuck about with#Im sure my mom wouldn't mind as long as its one that hasnt been touched in years#which tbf I dont know how many options thatd leave me but we at least have one computer that could theoretically be usable#albiet its definitely packed with viruses from me and my siblings being dumb kids
