Hi there, I am in a study group as part of my undergraduate degree course in counselling and psychotherapy and we have an assignment that we are working on to do a 20min presentation on ADHD & Autism. Your blog is insightful and I wondered would you be happy of we included it and some of your images we will of course reference you. Our presentation is 11 Feb 2023. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for reading this. Maria

I am truly almost 2 years late seeing this.

For everyone else, please assume you have complete permission from me to quote or screenshot any of my posts and use them in any (non-commercial) venture! ESPECIALLY in school/uni/education spaces!! I encourage it!

The only exception from me is using my words/posts/images in advertising or pulling direct quotes for a story/book. If you want to do that, consider hiring and paying consultants with lived experience. Heck if it's advertising, contact me and I'll see if I can fit the consultation work in! (Fun fact - I work in marketing research and strategy)

If you are doing a school/uni assignment or using this to understand lived experience for research etc, you fully have my permission to use this blog (please do reference me where possible!)

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

pov your ex held your collection of thrifted spoons hostage for over a year (not entirely his fault, they got mixed up in his things during a move and you did not realize it, though he did adamantly deny that he had them) and reached out to your roommate on instagram nine months post break up after being thoroughly blocked for several months just to ask if you were still roommates and then to very cryptically reveal that he had in fact found the spoons (among other, mystery items that he did not reveal and you also have no idea what they are) in his car that he had not driven for a year cause he decided to make the worst financial decision of his life and buy a tesla and then tried to coordinate a meet up to drop off said spoons and mystery items which you did not want but you do want your spoons so you told him to either mail it or show up to your place of work when you were not scheduled only for him to entirely miss the point and still try to see you, then you reveal that you do not want to see him so he finally says that he will put on his big boy pants and mail it (though him actually mailing it is entirely unlikely) and also aparently hes gotten a perm since the last time you saw him and it looks terrible

so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.

and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.

and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive

I just think it would have been cool if Lamb’s fleece turned into wings during the fight with Narinder

Progress of mimicking the Lamb Lofi Desk

The candles, flowers and frame I got at the thrift store for about $6 and I made the Tarot Cards at home. I also drew the Narinder in the maid dress myself, and the props I need still need to make are: KnuckleBones dice, Lamb's notebook and Godly Pen, sketched plans, Jar of Menticide Mushrooms, The Record Player/Gramophone (which i have no idea how I'm gonna get but I'll figure it out) and the relics

Doesn't look perfect yet but it'll be an ongoing side project. Just pretend the Lamb has a PC for the background of this picture lmao.

If you want to print out and add your own Maid Narinder to your desk, you can use my art! (Just please don't sell or repost it and only print it out for personal use.) I tried to stick close to the COTL style and made two versions for the eyes:

I snipped and burned the edges of the picture to make it look older, so recommend that as well. I'll post a picture of what it looks like at night later. (The permission to print/use my art is soley for the Maid Narinder and does not extend to my other works btw)

Little things adults and older people can do to help younger people and children feel included, safe, and respected as an equal individual:

Ask before touching the young person - even for hugs. Ask before you take pictures of them, and let them see photographs of them before they are printed or sent to others (even family).

Apologize when you are wrong

Ask for a young persons thoughts on a subject, then engage with them after they have spoken

Demonstrate behaviour you want to see from them (see: apologizing). Say "excuse me," say "thank you," say "please" to them

Validate their feelings, even if they don't know how to express them just yet

Remember that this is the first time they've been alive, and that you've had way longer to "figure it out"

These are some things I wish other adults remembered when engaging with young folks. We so often forget what childhood felt like and how unfair it all was because we were often awarded freedoms as adults that we never had as children. These kids are equal to adults, and they deserve the same courtesy, respect, kindness, and understanding we give to other adults.
