i dont see why i cant start a trend, so here goes. lets try to build back our attention spans. lets try to focus on just one thing for as long as possible. lets not watch those "asmr for people with adhd" videos where they fuck up adhd folks even worse. lets resist the urge to reach for our phones when watching a movie. lets read the articles we reblog, even when theyre boring. i know its hard, i have adhd too, but its worth it. i also know that this hard work doesnt always seem super impressive to other people, so id love for yall to tell me in the tags or replies if youve done something, no matter how small, for your attention span. you deserve to feel like youve taken back some of what social media has ripped from you

this art by david horvitz changed me as a person. we're attentionmaxxing this fine hot girl summer

In Prince's funky name, amen.

Millennial here. All the above and:

Please send me the training or tutorial in a written format with maybe some screenshots if necessary. I don't want a video tutorial. I don't want to waste time trying to scroll to the exact moment in the instructions that I need and then have to pause and replay it because I missed the .01 seconds of actually relevant information.

Please. Text. Maybe some images for clarification. I can read. I promise.

Skimmable, SEARCHABLE instructions. If they're long, there should be a hyperlinked table of contents.

Elder Millennial here cosigning HARD

If you really need to show a movement, embed a gif or 15-scond-or-less video in the text, like Jod intended.

I work in science communications and I am constantly hearing about how we need to try to do video to appeal to the newest generation of scientists and it's like do you think physicists who can't read are a good idea?

more people need to give themselves permission to write and draw pornography

it is virtuous and necessary that you write, draw, and distribute pornography

The Pattern Bundle is LIVE!

The 'Cross Stitch for Gaza' bundle contains 63 patterns from 35 artists, and is available to anyone who makes a donation of €15 or more to Hadeel Mikki's GoFundMe page, where she is raising money to help get her family out of Gaza and into safety in Egypt.

Hadeel and her husband and daughters have suffered immensely in the past eighteen months-- they've lost their home, much of their extended family, and, most recently, Hadeel's father.

Their one path to safety is to raise enough money to pay for the crossing into Egypt: for a family of their size, it can cost anywhere from €20,000 to €35,000. It's a formidable amount, but we are committed to do as much as we can to help them-- we're setting our goal at €20,000, and we would love your assistance in helping reach it!

To get the full pattern bundle, head to CrossStitchForGaza.com; you'll be prompted to make a donation to Hadeel's family of €15 or more, after which you can fill out a form on the website to submit a screenshot of your receipt. Once the form is in, one of our volunteers will email you back within 24 hours with your full copy of the bundle!

Thank you so much to the artists and designers who have donated their patterns to this fundraiser-- we have truly been blown away by the response we have received! We'll be posting more pictures here later, but you can also see the full lineup at the Pattern Gallery on our website.

Ok I set myself a goal to try and finish one art thing this year, so here's my hunter in the Guardian Games 2025 armour which has been my favourite ever. And yes, surprising no one, I main a nightstalker.

Just putting it out there, I hate drawing clothes, this has been a waking hell of my own design, never again.

I made this, please feel free to use

I made this post a couple months ago, and I completely forgot that I made it

today has been one of the worst days of my entire life, and this post somehow made its way back to me, like a mental-health chef boyardee can.

it actually helped me a lot

have some more

I am slowly losing my mind over the shift towards video as the default media format.

I do not find this to be an efficient way to absorb information. I am bored and distracted by the time the largely unnecessary introduction is over. I can't use ctrl+f to find the specific information I'm looking for. If there are instructions to follow, I don't want to have to constantly pause and back up to the part I need.

At least give me a fucking transcript.

I can read faster than you can talk and these videos are wasting my time.
