#Creatives: the belief that you must suffer for your art is probably the single most destructive concept that has been taught to you

It is not true

Read that again

Many of you will resist believing this. But that’s partly because *you evaluate your own work differently when you are feeling well*

Before i do anything (new) cringeworthy, this is cool with BlackSky users?

Reasons for moving to a different server might be because you don't trust Bluesky's moderation policies. Rudy's thread above addresses that. Blacksky is probably the most advanced alternate server now, built for Black users. But they also have a couple of servers that non-Black users can migrate to.

The Autistic Coach | Matthew (he/they) @theautisticcoach.bsky.social · 4h

Autistic meltdowns aren’t tantrums.

They’re the bodymind saying “I can’t hold this anymore".

They’re not moral failures.

They’re overload.

Pressure leaving the system.

You don’t need punishment.

You need safety.

I made the mistake of letting Jester have some fruity lip cream on her snoot when she was little. It is now a daily battle for control of the lip balm jar.

(Don’t worry, she wasn’t punished. I don’t believe in it. Instead she got some lip cream on her snoot, and the battle continues 😉)

If you have not yet seen Episodes, do yourself a favor, cuz that’s the funniest sitcom in history. Like, actually funny.

NO GODS, NO MASTERS, BISEXUAL DISASTERS 🇵🇸 🇺🇦🔞 @travisteatime.bsky.social · 2d

A sentence that I've been unable to get out of my head ever since I first heard it is

"We actually don't fully know what's definitive symptoms of ADHD and what's symptoms of trauma because, as a society, we simply don't produce non-traumatized ADHD folks."

Big Dyke Energy (GFM in pinned) @azurebitch.bsky.social · 2d

I genuinely am shocked to think that there may be autistic people out in the world who *don't* have CPTSD because existing in our current society as autistic is so fundamentally traumatic

DOG of BLUD @dogblud.bsky.social · 2d

No shit we all have CPTSD. We've been violently depersonalized our whole lives, completely disconnected from who and what we are until we finally figure it out, and when we do and talk about it there's a chance some redditors will appear out of thin air to tell us we're delusional.

6 ADHD FACTS I wish I'd known sooner

ADHD is often missed in girls & women because we're taught to hide it.

Estrogen drops during perimenopause can worsen ADHD, which is why many women are diagnosed later.

ADHD isn't a lack of attention it's a struggle to regulate it.

Hyperactivity can be internal - racing thoughts, overthinking, overwhelm.

ADHD affects working memory making it hard to hold info long enough to use it.

Emotional dysregulation makes many of us hypersensitive to rejection and criticism.

Thank you
I didn't meet my goal unfortunately yesterday so I'm now extending it for another week. Ended up paying Rent with my paycheck. I am grateful for the $42 yesterday and I ended up using it on groceries and litter.
