@dyani@social.coop

AuDHD, curator of information, optimist at my core, lover of all souls, leftist, hobby switcher, graphic designer, UX and accessibility learner, artist.

Trying to embody the inclusivity, deep acceptance, and safety I believe we all deserve.

I share things that make me happy, things that make me think, things that are helpful to know for me & for others. Lots of leftist, neurodiversity, cats, and digital art fall into those categories.

Little potted plant art I made yesterday.

This was an experiment in not following a color palette. Fun!

Okay I want to go on a road trip with somebody where all we do is find cute little towns and then scope out their indie bookstores. When the car is half full of books is when we know it’s time to loop back around home. Also there should be a good deal of finding the best cafes, too.

@hollie my friend and i invented a vacation type that doesn't exist yet: reading vacations! And the destination would be a hotel made for readers, with a big fancy lobby library and a million cozy reading nooks, and a big huge garden with tons of little places to read there as well. And every room has a big huge bathtub for reading and a tray table for books and food. And there would be themed weekends. I could go on and on lol. One can dream!

What things do you look forward to on your Mondays? I don't have anything. I have something on other days of the week but not Monday.

@MsHearthWitch i love that. i want to try and make a habit like that for myself. it's a hard balancing act with PDA to not start resenting that habit and rebelling from it tho

Universal basic income mitigates tunneling, meaning that people are more able to think beyond just one focus. The need to earn survival income tends to function like blinders that block out everything else but your focus on basic needs. Until they're obtained, we can't think beyond.

To celebrate new job, new chapter, new me... I splurged on a set of All-Clad D3 pots and pans.

Not a bunch, just your basics, as I also frequently use cast iron. But teen dislikes cast iron (even the enamel pots) and I will admit they're not always best suited to a task.

I am so excited. Literally the snow white meme on the window waiting on them to get here.

I've lusted after an all-clad set for years. Big BIFL energy.

And now my wallet is screaming stop, lol.

@MsHearthWitch are those stainless steel? i really wish i understood how to cook with stainless steel but everything sticks!

dyani,
@dyani@social.coop avatar

@MsHearthWitch i have successfully done that in the beginning, but what about for longer cooking? i tend to make lots of things that have multiple steps where you add more and more to the pot. and by the end (or middle?) it sticks horribly

Painted my nails for the first time in maybe more than a year? Feels good to have bright color semi-permanently afixed to myself

Yesterday was my 1 year AuDHD anniversary!

1 year since the most life-changing realization ever. My resting heart rate dropped by ~10 points after I figured it out.

Knowing this about myself has given me so much peace & confidence. It's given me even more compassion for myself and others. I advocate for my needs now, and I have better boundaries.

Every day I marvel at how amazing we ND folks are, and how much we bring to the world.

I so appreciate this community!

@everyday_human @actuallyautistic thank you ❤️ yes the diversity is soooo lovely here! i learn so much all the time

I did a lot of thinking and Autistic Bookshop needs to diversify it's income sources.

30% profit at an average of $1.97 on book sales means the store will never pay for itself.

So I created a merch collection to help.

I had some reading and writing themed designs already, so will add more later.

Google should eventually bring people to this once the store has built up some authority, which is mainly how a merch collection will help.

@ashleyspencer what about bookmarks too? Idk if people really buy those so you may want to research!

What is your favorite depression food? Or low-spoons food? Or autistic comfort food? Also has to be cheap 😓

I need ideas. I have a lot of food allergies so I'm really restricted but that doesn't mean hearing about other food doesn't give me ideas.

Boosts welcome!

I wonder what it's like to be a bug and have a rain droplet on you 🐛💧

Would it be terrifying? It's probably like one third your weight, and it's stuck on you like some overly cuddly squishmallow made of jello. And it probably landed there with much velocity. Traumatizing!

And how do you get it off? What if it's covering your head/face parts????

(For those of you who don't know what a squishmallow is, it's a super soft big round pillow/stuffy hybrid. Edit: squishmallow, not squashmallow!)

I am very glad to be in my new house, but I am not sure I ever appreciated how much my former neighbors did NOT use power tools.

I can't even figure out what it is. A chainsaw? Weed eater? Someone drilling directly into my front lobe with a jackhammer?

dyani,
@dyani@social.coop avatar

@MsHearthWitch oh no! sounds like my neighbors! hope you have some ANC earbuds or earphones

dyani,
@dyani@social.coop avatar

@MsHearthWitch oh drat. I would hope over-ear headphones could be safer for that. I personally can't stand the pressure on my head for those so I have to do earbuds. So I hope you aren't the same!

I’ve basically turned into my grandmother. I have a ‘dried goods / umami box’. I know of no other more economical way to make the stocks and soups required of southern Chinese coastal cooking. Black beans, good quality dried mushrooms, dried anchovies and scallops. Central to every Cantonese and Chiu Chow kitchen. Our food does not taste the same without this stuff. (And is also what’s used by the best restaurants)

dyani,
@dyani@social.coop avatar

@skinnylatte yummmmm. When you say soak, for how long? And at any point do you use heat to improve flavors (besides when you heat it to eat it)?

Strawbie in oil pastels 🍓

Never used these before. How do they work?

Anyone else familiar with the hearthcraft tradition of not bringing the old broom into the new house?

Getting myself a new broom and mop for the new place (they need replacing anyways). But I'm pondering on the treatment of the Roomba and Brava Jet.

My thinking is to replace the brushes and pads (needs doing anyways). So the machine is the same but the broom-esque part is new.

dyani,
@dyani@social.coop avatar

@MsHearthWitch i do this! but i never thought about the roomba part. i think it would be more meaningful to me personally if i got rid of my little floor sweeper thing, yknow the thing with the little dustpan and the hand brush that hook together as a set? and then get a new one of those. because of the connection with me, by me doing the sweeping with my hand. whereas the roomba does it by itelf. if that makes sense.

Help!

I need to export a beefy Trello board (as a JSON file) and give it to someone to browse through who has absolutely no technical experience.

I also don't know much about what I'm doing but I can follow directions and teach myself. But this person cannot, so I need to set it up for them.

So ideally a nicer format than just text, maybe interactive if possible? View-only is all we need.
