A square digital illustration of a 6 winged heron with 3 heads/necks but no eyes, in flight. It is surrounded by pastel hued sparkle shapes, and backed by a black circle with a gold border featuring a pattern of eyeballs. Outside the circle there are four stylised purple wings, and 8 small circles showing the phases of the moon around the border. The heron is white and the long feathers of each wing are highlighted in a different pastel colour.

A digital illustration with strong black outlines. It shows a purple figure from shoulders up, with a flat expression. Colourful lined shapes with eyes in loop across and down and obscure most of the figures neck, shoulders, and the top half of their head. Their hands are held up and grasping helplessly at the shapes. The illustration is intended to represent overwhelm as I have experienced it through ADHD.

A photo of four rainbow plated enamel pins on a purple background. They include: an 8 winged moth with a banner reading 'infinite neurodiversity', a mace with a spiky aura and a banner reading 'neurospiky', a cracked disco ball with shapes leaking out and drippy typography reading 'all panic no disco', and a pin version of the previous illustration representing Overwhelm, with the shapes in black.

A photo of multiple acrylic keychains on a lilac background. The central design features s red hand palm up with magical sparkles appearing in the center and a larger purple transparent hand gripping it from below. There is a magic circle behind them, and a banner reading 'warped warlock'. There are other keychains around it representing other d and d classes, including catastrophic cleric, wrecked rogue, druid of disaster, and beleaguered bard. The keychains all have holographic sparkles.

Melody works from home as an artist, but when pursuing her goals drives a wedge between her and her partner, she's torn between being a "good partner" and a "good artist."

VIOLAPSE is about choosing yourself over a broken fantasy and breaking out of roles that other people give you.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome

Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed

In some ways it does get easier. I'm definitely better at managing stress than I used to be at least.

It is. I really need some time off from life!

Abi Stevens: MCM Ldn Oct @abistevensart.bsky.social · 19h

For years I've been finding myself thinking 'I'll be able to do more things when I'm less stressed' and it's finally dawning on me that 'when I'm less stressed' is very unlikely to happen. 💀
