Going to the store

For those of you who read the book "The fantastic Mr Fox" here's a video of a fox and a badger sharing a meal together

do NOT feel bad abt scarfing down a tub of raspberries. there is NO reason at all to ration them like other delicious treats bc they WILL mold as soon as theyre out of your line of sight

you know that one post where its like "you can tell if someones a warrior cats fan by asking them to draw a cat"? you can also do that with dragons

i have crudely illustrated my point in ms paint

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

up late at night thinking about a guy who exists to three people. such a desire to talk about him until my lungs give out and read every scrap of fanfiction on the internet and yet there is NOTHING!!!! and i have to pretend to be NORMAL about this. "oh yes your character is cool. have you considered writing more" meanwhile the wolves in my brain are tearing and biting

Made the worst brownies ever created just now

Chat where did I go wrong

the reviews are in

actual quotes from my mother, during her first watch of The Owl House

idk if this is a regional thing so

rb for sample size? aha 👉👈

“If you have time to be on social media, you also have time for…” “If you have time to watch Netflix, you also have time for…” Yeah, but do I have the energy for it? Do I have the emotional and mental capacity for it? Am I pain-free enough for it? Can I focus on it? Can I do it without leaving my bed? Can I safely do it without risk of (physically or emotionally) injuring myself by pushing past my boundaries?

Actually I DON'T have time.

I need insane amounts of rest to function. There's a good chance I'll also be on tumblr, chatting to a friend, listening to podcast etc. during that resting time.

But I can't use that time to do whatever I want, whenever I want, because pushing myself past my limits will make me feel like crap for days.

So technically it's NOT free time.

This is a very helpful way of putting it. Recovery time isn't free time; it's for RECOVERY. And if you're neurodivergent or chronically ill or anything in that register, it becomes even more mandatory because your mind and body will punish you that much more severely for neglecting recovery. (Though, uh, that is definitely a thing that will happen to you even if you're Perfectly Normal And Healthy, it just probably won't be as immediate or obvious! so you may not even notice it until it MAKES you neurodivergent or chronically ill!)

Your brain is a machine. Schedule downtime and maintenance, or it will be scheduled for you.
