Show of hands—who else needed the reminder? 🙋🏻‍♀️

#ADHDAwarenessMonth

It's okay to take a break even if you don't think you deserve one.
It's okay if you don't cross off every item on your to-do list.
It's okay to not be productive every second of every day.
You are a human, not a machine.
It's okay. You're okay.

Adding to this:

Being an elder in your hobby community is fucking awesome. You get to be that random oldhead who helped *you* really get into the hobby when you were a kid for a whole new generation, and it's the best feeling ever.

Photo of me cosplaying "Human Disguise" Morrigan Aensland from the Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge / Vampire Hunter: The Animated Series / Darkstalkers OVA from 2021. Capcom's favorite succubus.

PoV from above as I'm sitting on the ground amongst a Halloween themed set; gravestones, candles, a skull, and fall leaves. Two bat companions on my shoulder with a third trying to hold my shirt closed. I'm making eye contact with the viewer with my hand open, perhaps offering something to the viewer.

Finally back to a sort-of-regular stream schedule AND it's SCARY-times.

Kicking things off with something that is probably our speed: Sorry We're Closed—which I've heard some great things about.

And if we have time / bandwidth this week ... maybe bonus stream?

A chibi drawing of nt3rp, styled as a zombie, is in the bottom left corner while the stream schedule for the week is presented almost like a text-messaging conversation.

For the week of October 6 to 12, the schedule is as follows.
- Tuesday, October 7 @ 7p EDT: Sorry We're Closed

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Hey all — if the horrors are too much to bear this week, as they have been for me, please take a few minutes to read this piece.

It’s only a matter of action until the growing wave of community and humanity coalesces into the dominant narrative. Until then, you have to have faith that it’s coming.

Bad news feels inescapable. There’s a lot of it, it goes viral, and things are getting worse.

But resistance is also everywhere, and it doesn’t get the same attention.

We need to share mass resistance, to inspire hope and so that more and more people join in.

HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY TO SKIES OF ARCADIA!🎉
I really need to bring my Aika cosplay back out. But similarly to BlackRose and Kai, the comically large weapon props that I made are a bit hard to travel with since they aren't collapsible🙈

$10+ I will draw YOUR cat (poorly)
$20+ I will draw your cat well
$40+ I will draw your cat well and mail it to you

It’s never too late to start masking again.

It can be daunting to mask back up when no one else is bothering, but your health is worth it.

Every Covid infection is a dice roll with disability, and a good respirator like an N95 stops chains of transmission.

You’ll also get less colds & flus!
