Received my copy of “Feeling Like an ADHD Alien” by @adhd-alien.bsky.social today, and just reading the prologue had me close to tears. I feel so seen. It’s really incredible how much of a difference it makes to know it’s not just you. Pina, thank you for writing this, and for everything you do 💕

Just received this painting in the mail from @nimasprout.bsky.social ! I cannot believe how vibrant the colors are in person, it feels surreal to hold it. Absolutely worth the price, and the artist was super chill about my questions and fun to chat with! Please check her out if you haven’t 💙

A piece I redid for International Women’s Day this year This piece was about hopefully finding a day in the future where all women can live without fear of harm or discrimination with a emphasis on ALL women. We can't just support cis women and watch as trans women are harmed over and over

Just submitted a comment, please go do the same. It doesn’t have to be long, and the article gives recommendations on what to bring up. We need to protect these forests.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

another boring work day, another quick #febugary sketch! Day 22: umbelligerus woldai, a species of treehopper in costa rica #bugsky #bugart

A drawing of umbelligerus woldai on lined paper, done in blue ballpoint pen. The species is a treehopper, with large eyes, translucent wings, and a large antler-like growth that comes out of its back.

Not doing the whole challenge, but was bored at work and did a quick pen sketch of diaethria phlogea, or the “89 98” butterfly, for #febugary2026 ! May do a few from previous days as well if the work day continues to be slow 🐛 #bugsky #bugart

A small drawing of Diaethria Phlogea done in blue ballpoint pen on lined paper. It’s a drawing from the underside, with the distinctive “89 98” markings visible.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Image of Charles Darwin quotes, with the recipient of the letter and the date the letter was written. He said "I hate every wave of the ocean" to W.D. Fox on 15 February 1836, "Oh my God how I do hate species and varieties" to J.D. Hooker in 11 March 1858, "I am very tired, very stomachy, and hate nearly the whole world" to Thomas Huxley on 10 September 1860, "I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" to Charles Lyell on 1 October 1861, "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" to John Lubbock on 3 September 1862, and "I am languid and bedeviled and hate writing and hate everybody" to J.D. Hooker on 23 June 1863.

They underestimate the power of my AuDHD Mind

A screenshot from an online textbook, discussing the difference between System 1 thinking (automatic) and System 2 thinking (deliberate). When describing System 1 thinking, a section of the screenshot has been highlighted that reads "Think of waking up, going through your morning routine, and starting your typical day. How much time do you spend deliberately reasoning about any of the decisions you are making?"

I know it’s so easy to shop at big stores with cheap stuff, but those companies don’t have quality or your best interests in mind. I design & engrave all my own products, & my pottery comes from local ceramicists, so you’re supporting 2 small businesses with every mug you buy! #economicblackout

So done with this ethics class. Like dgmw I totally understand the importance of it, but its SO business oriented and that side of IT is really not where my interest lies. I know I gotta do it, but i swear I already know how to think critically. lemme learn Linux or networking or something plsss

To my American trans friends and followers, a word of warning before passport offices open tomorrow from a friend currently dealing with this situation

Tell folks not to try to panic update their passports. We cannot change our gender right now, and in some places there is risk of your documents being confiscated. Your passports are technically government property according to 22 cfr 51.7, and they can be taken from you (and already have been for some people). This means that not only can they reject your application (and at this point they will), but they can also straight up keep your passport and other supporting documents.
In Whitman county (conservative county south of where I live) some people went to get their passports updated and the employees there told them their application was rejected *and they took those people's passports*.
It's all still rapidly updating and likely will for quite a time. Just tell folks not to panic hand their passport over - it's too messy right now.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

It’s important to take silly doodle breaks when studying. Feeds the soul.

There are various types of mushrooms growing off their shoulders, and small embroidery of flowers on the wrists of the cardigan. They sit in a small grassy patch, with tiny white mushrooms growing around them.
