Just being here has felt freeing in and of itself. No ads omg. It's beautiful. I like the slower pace here too, it doesn't bother me to see the same post on the main page from a few days ago. I think it's a nice break for my senses actually.

 

How?? Insane skill. People amaze me.

I stumbled on Veronica Explains on Youtube and holy crap she is so smart. I won't lie though, I felt like a moron trying to understand some of the things she covered. But it was still great to see her stuff.

My mind was blown, truly. It's because of her that I ended up going down a tech video rabbit hole and watched all these incredibly skilled people building their own devices (or refurbishing and transforming older ones) from scratch. How?? My tiny brain can't process it.

I see that this is not a very active place but I am currently dealing with the process of migrating from web 2 areas such as Reddit. And I'm also dealing with addictions and a sleep disorder. So, I will make it a habit to post here now and again. I'm grateful to the person that made this space.

I have audhd and am an asexual nonbinary person. I have multiple interests and don't really know what to do with myself because of it. Nothing I like goes together. I have several different interests, different things I want to draw. Sometimes I want to draw crude nsfw art, other times I want to draw cute cozy art, other times I want to draw a furry character, other times I want to draw creepy art, other times I want to try a new illustrative or indie art style I just recently discovered.

I like the raccoon. The raccoon represents this uncontrollable urge to dig through the trash and scrounge up all the things, do all the things. The raccoon is scattered like me.

Some other weird details: I like making collages on the computer. I think it satisfies the craving to line things up, which I heard is a type of autistic stim. Stacking, lining things up neatly, organizing things by a specific trait like colour or genre or alphabetical order. I also like to make "meme" type starterpack collage things that show my interests or things in my life that have meaning at that time. I have made starterpack collages of things that appealed to me at different periods of my life, as well as more venty ones like "visiting my senior parents starter pack" or "depression startpack".

I enjoy writing stories, music, learning new things, science, art, nature and going outside in quiet places like local trails. And I'm bad at knowing how to finish anything I start. Okay bye.
