I wonder if its an ADHD and/or autistic thing to have your interests go hot or cold all of a sudden? Find I was enjoying a lot of video games lately, now its podcasts and book reading. #actuallyautistic
@SHODAN I'd like to know the same! I'm autistic but have wondered about some ADHD qualities.
First something such as graphic novel reading is hot: I borrow piles from a library and devour them. Suddendly they don't interest practically at all but I pick up my guitar and start churning out new songs.
The most important things come back to me. I can be sure that at some point I pick up the graphic novels or guitar again. It just might take half a year or three years before it happens.
Right now I seem to be in between of special interests. Let's see what's next.
So my entry in the @neilhimself Folio Society contest didn't make the cut as a finalist 😢 It's disappointing, but I gave it my best shot and am very happy with what I created ☠️ 🖤
I might still turn it into an art print for my Etsy shop with a portion of funds raised going to charity, like I did with the bookmark art I also did for 'The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains'. If I do I will post about it here later on
@neilhimself thank you! Considering the quality of the finalists who were chosen, and all the artwork I’ve seen that didn’t make it, I don’t envy the decision makers either!
Are you alright with me turning my entry into a print sold for charity? I was thinking of making either UNHCR or UNRWA the beneficiary
Some lessons I learned after being in a bunch of weddings:
• Hydrate the newlyweds
• Feed the newlyweds
• Have sticky tape with you
• Tape the card to the present
• Do not leave the newlywed’s side and have the wedding party help
• Before the ceremony, your job is to keep the groom calm and hydrated
• Before the ceremony, your job is to keep any of the groom’s friends from putting ideas in his head
• Professional photographer, the most expensive you can afford.
@GayDeceiver As the weird neurodivergent people who are hard to slot in to a table plan, be prepared to be sat next to the most boring man on earth, their princess 10 year old daughter and the wife who lives vicariously through the daughter. Sheesh. I've been to some great weddings (one at a fabulous Greek church in London and reception at the Hotel Cafe Royal sticks in my mind) but that one was dull til the thunder and lightning started and we all had a good excuse to move 😆 @actuallyautistic
