y'all do any of u have tips for like. finding a cat. Like we know theoretically he should be around here somewhere but. we've been sitting here for an hour

first off, i didn't read the books so... i'm talking about the tv show here. i liked simon and daphne, and ik ik they were endgame, the story was building that way and the prince was merely a plot device

however, i kinda? liked the prince way more than i liked simon? his whole internal debacle (and the way he went after daphne in the art of the swoon even knowing they couldn't be together because of that) is just Kinda Stupid™ to *me* personally?

daphne and the prince would be great matches for each other (he can give her children!!! security!!! her dream life!!! she could be a princess!! he looks really fucking sweet!!!) but i guess the Power of Love™ won again (boooooo)

Check out; I'll get by By Avi Kaplan

Like, seriously, it's so good. These lyrics.....

Early in the morning

I feel stones upon my chest

That I carry to the evening

'Til I lay back down to rest

But I'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by

I'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by

I'm tired and growing weary

Of these clouds that follow me

Swallowed by the shadows

When it's sunshine that I need

But I'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by

I'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by

I've been feeling hollow

Yeah, my soul just can't be found

So fill me with the feeling

That this song will turn around

Take all my cares away

Lighten my load

Trust it'll be okay

But 'til then I'll go

Onward down the road

Carried by the hope

Then I'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by

II'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by

Yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by

I'll, I'll, I'll

I'll get by.

imagine being a Korean person awake at like one in the morning trying to accept that the president of South Korea actually just tried to go full dictatorship by way of an emergency martial law because he was basically having a political temper tantrum and every agency and corporation in the country is all hands on deck, code red mode on everything and the military is being deployed and then the assembly revokes the martial law and then the president is like lol nevermind and now you have to get ready to work at your shitty job on a Wednesday

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"
