Not the person you’re replying to but wanted to share my 2 cents

You might consider keeping things broad given how small a platform lemmy is and how niche the subject matter is. I like the idea of them being separate but splitting community more than strictly necessary runs the risk of the community dieing without enough people having things to post. You can always acknowledge future plans to split, and make it two separate communities in the future

Ultimately you know best what kinda space you wanna make and how you wanna go about it, I just think your community idea is neat and wanna see it reach a stable number of active users :)

Hope you have a great day!

I have a sleep disorder so I’m always awake through the night. For me I kinda appreciate that it makes it easier to stop scrolling, cause there’s not anything new showing up and I’ve already seen the posts for the day :)

I can see how it’d be lonely though. Perhaps I’m used to it cause my sleep disorder is isolating whether I’m using lemmy or not

I hope you have a lovely day today :)

I realize now my wording was unclear 😅 I go to bed around 9am-12pm right now, and wake up around 7pm-9pm.

I have a very weird schedule, but I do sleep. It’s isolating because my daytime seldom overlaps that of others, if I never slept at all I’d have TONS of time to spend with folks

I do, it’s always nice getting to say good morning to folks as I’m on my way to bed. And sometimes I end up skipping sleep in order to do something that requires I be awake during normal hours (like doctor’s appointments, my friends wedding) and its always nice to hang out with folks on those days ☺️

I’m grateful my friends also often stay up later than they normally would to hang out, and I often try to wake early for social time :)

Not the person you replied to, but I’ll have to give that a shot if I make it to IKEA someday :)

Well thats neat, thanks for sharing!

Sounds a like a combination of fear of failure and anxiety around social settings. Failure should be, and usually is, a part of learning, which is something I’m working on internalizing for myself 😅 but it sounds like you’re also putting a lot of pressure on yourself not to make any mistakes, which is unrealistic and also sets you up for immediate failure if you get into your own head about it.

Generally the answer to any fear related issues is exposure. If that idea is horrifying then its especially important, and you’ll need to start small. But letting yourself experience the source of fear enough times for your anxiety to go up, observe the way it comes back down and that you’re okay, and you start to feel safer in that kind of experience

But if you do too much at once you’ll often make the problem worse. If you’ve got good friends you can ask, maybe share what you’re having a hard time with, and see if y’all can learn origami together or something with people you consider safe. Feel out the anxiety, and when you fail, notice that you’re stjll okay :)

Investigating fear of failure and exposure therapy online may yeild helpful that really helps with perspective and practical approaches to dealing with what you’re facing

Sending love and hugs, thats a crap experience

I love this design, what a fun sketch

I honestly can’t tell what happened here… The article is confusing as hell and I can’t tell if its just too early in the morning for me, or if I’m dumb 😅

Ayyyy, that’s dope!

They said in the video that the resolution was specifically picked for 2x scaling to avoid fractional scaling for linux users :)

I’m just excited the ryzen laptop I was JUST about to order got a 6% discount!

That looks stunning, the animation on Benny feels super expressive and I love the lighting and colors

I still need to go back and finish new Vegas.

Tracker control makes it really convenient to turn off internet access for a bunch of apps, perhaps that could speed up the trial and error? Though the tracker blocking functionality might kinda get in the way if it tries to block the segment.io traffic, so you might need to set it up specifically for your needs

f-droid.org/…/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/

It’s an app that pretends to be a VPN so it can filter out network traffic from apps seeking to track the user, but its very easy to to just turn internet off for a given app

Aww, thank you, I’m really glad it was a helpful suggestion!

Best of luck and I hope you have a lovely day ☺️

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us!

Christ, thats absolutely beautiful. I think this is my favorite piece of art I’ve seen here, its stunning.

I mean, that kinda seems like why I’d want there to be housing specifically for trans women. Building housing specifically for trans folks seems like the wrong way to solve housing discrimination or housing unaffordability. I think those problems would probably be more effectively soved through other means

But building essentially shelter housing for trans folks without a safe place to go seems like a great way to create a space for them that is safe and trans inclusive should they find themselves in crisis, and unwelcome or uncomfortable using other faculties that are disproportionately serving cis women who may or may not be welcoming or understanding.

Now they just also have to implement policies that address housing unaffordability, and housing discrimination. If its like the situation in the US, kinda feels like thats never gonna happen 🙃

Gooootcha, I follow what the point you’re making now!

also, I appreciate you filling me in cause I wouldn’t have read the article and he context you provided is much more useful than the headline

Hope you have a good one :)

That’s crummy place to find oneself, when dance had been your escape from that headspace

I’m sending love, and I hope you get to find that place where you can get out of your head for a while again soon, whatever form it may take :)

Thats beautiful!!
