PSA about call center workers 

Call center work is grueling and soul-destroying work, as anyone who's worked at one will attest. Why is this? Well, call centers are usually a consumer's last resort for help. They've usually already gotten themselves upset before they think to call. Much yelling and grumpiness ensues.

We can help!! If you're having a really good experience with a thing, call the call center and give them positive feedback. It'll totally improve their day, I guarantee it. ♥️

I🏳️‍🌈m totally stealing the idea of replacing the 🏳️‍🌈 key with the rainbow flag. That🏳️‍🌈s so heckin🏳️‍🌈 rad :D

I keep looking out my window and thinkin' about all the things I want to do to the yard :D :D

(Hint: Paver stone walkways, a leveled patio and fountain in front, and all the things in back)

Experiences with ADHD at varying drug levels:

Unmedicated: Unable to focus on nearly anything; quick to frustration when trying to accomplish tasks requiring more than 5 minutes

Properly medicated: I do the HELL out of anything I think about, sometimes before I realize I'm doing it, which can be a problem-- must be conscious of what I'm giving attention to

Undermedicated: Able to focus for short bursts that are then interrupted, unable to re-focus. Crying out of frustration.

Related experience with changing drug manufacturers 

I have weapons grade ADHD and lately I've been struggling to focus while on my meds. They also changed from the usual orange to a blue color recently...

Turns out the new manufacturer has produced a TON of complaints from others who're having similar experiences to mine.

I've been driving myself crazy because of how hard it's been to focus lately. It's good to know it's not just me at least!! Now I can get it fixed. :D

PSA about prescription drug manufacturers 

If a drug you're prescribed changes in appearance, it's usually because the pharmacy switched to a different manufacturer.

If you're feeling off and your meds changed appearance, it could be the meds! Check online reviews of that manufacturer and drug to see if anyone else is reporting similar symptoms. Arm yourself with knowledge!

You can look up the pill by shape, appearance & markings at this website to find the manufacturer.

Lately, I've taken to waking up early and playing Yoshi's Wooly World and I've gotta say, what a wonderful game to wake up with ♥️

I mean seriously, just listen to the title theme. This game is the very definition of wholesome. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ;o;

Mental Health, Work (--) 

Work has calmed down some, but I'm completely unable to focus on anything. Nothing I do in this stack will matter at all in 6 months.

Everything I'm working on right now will be abandoned shortly in favor of a platform written in a language I haven't learned yet… But I still have tasks that seem important, and the choice between "learn about the new stuff" and "do the other things people asked of me" is paralyzing, and really hitting the anxiety buttons HARD.

Serious question, and I would appreciate re-toots for spread:

What do people think about Patreon? Good feelings? Bad feelings?

Has anyone gotten an ice sculpture of their fursona commissioned?

So... after glazing, I had extra cold ganache. And time. So I improvised some.

They're not perfect -- I don't have a star tip -- but this was my first experiment with piping. @LadyAstolat​, the bake release worked perfectly! Thank you!

I present "Fünf Schokoladen Drei Orangen." A yeasted cake -- kugelhopf -- with acao nibs, chocolate non-pareils, dutched cocoa, chocolate ganache, chocolate buttercream, triple sec, orange zest, dried orange peel.

activism, nazis, fascism, uspol 

idk if anyone here is keeping up with this (i rarely see this stuff talked about here) but

nazi propagandist Richard Spencer (he coined the term 'alt right') has been given a platform at UF and also given the right to exclude press selectively, which is a really shitty and irresponsible kind of platform to give to a gifted nazi propagandist

but even with all that, the crowd are just drowning him out twitter.com/clairemcneill/stat

made me smile. go home spencer
