Don't talk to me or my son ever again.

The thought of zim holding gir like a toddler has lived in my head for a long time now. I had to put it on paper.

In the North American prairies, we talk about the "big four" characteristic grass species, which historically were among the most common prairie plant species and are noted for their affects on the rest of the habitat. They define the habitat, in the same way oak forest is defined by oaks. Everything else that lives there is shaped by them. This art represents Andropogon gerardii, whose common English names include Big Bluestem and Turkeyfoot.

It's actually kind of heartbreaking how many people feel their life has ended right after high school or college, and honestly, the heavy romanticization of that period of time is so overwhelmingly predominant that it can be hard to avoid. It's insidious to constantly be told that ages 10-24 are the only worthwhile parts of life, that everything after is essentially meaningless and dull.

It's hard not to look around you and think that your life still is open and full of potential when you're told over and over again that the rose-tinted childhood is the last time you were alive. It's hard to realize that your life isn't over when you walk off the stage of your graduation.

We must realize that we will always be full of potentials. Your life won't be over until you take your final breath, and then? That's simply another chapter in your story, one of many. Let yourself realize that you're alive in the here and now. There will be good and bad, but never a complete loss of potential or hope.

done with the current dip pen comm queue (just in time for another Nib Accident too lol. I’m learning how to take care of the tools as well) so uh! it’ll take me two days to get a replacement and get some other stuff done. which means slots will be available again this saturday!

i don't have a reddit account but will often browse subreddits for my Niche Expensive Collection-Based Hobbies when bored, and recently stumbled across a thread where OP said they have ADHD and wanted to know how people limit themselves to only a few usable things a month.

to me, because i also have ADHD, this is clearly a "how can i force myself to have impulse control" question. to people without ADHD, it's someone pretending to have a question so people talk about themselves and they get to have a popular thread for fake internet points.

and that is so frustrating to me, because it makes me remember every single time i'd ask for actionable advice on something i was struggling with, only to get people answering with bullshit like "if you aren't organized you should try being organized :)" or "i don't have problems remembering that kind of stuff at all :)" which is incredibly unhelpful and was hurtful as a child and infuriating as an adult. i asked a question. i want an answer to that fucking question.

thankfully some people did give that person actual advice they could use, but those comments were far enough down i had to go looking for them. people like to act like ADHD is just a quirky forgetfulness character flaw and not an actual disability that can be distressing to live with.

I think I might rebind my sketchpads I bought on Etsy. I know the seller had gotten rid of them because the paper quality is not very good, but I still want to keep the covers since she had actually discontinued a lot of the designs even as notebooks. Even if I rebind them as new notebooks, I’d be happy. I dunno, I don’t even know where I’d start.
