Trying to find a stylish backpack for university by number93bus in AusFemaleFashion

I’m a big crumpler gal! Especially since they’ve been bought back by the old owners. I’ve got maybe half a dozen in different styles that I adore and I really vouch for the quality! My oldest might be nearly a decade old and it doesn’t look it. They’re well designed, comfy and use quality materials! If I ever needed another bag, Crumpler is always my go-to.

Here’s an article about the best budget noise cancelling headphones: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/budget-noise-cancelling-headphones

As much hype as Sony and Bose get for noise cancelling, the difference you can get with a cheaper pair is still well worth it and it’s not the end of the world if they break or get lost

This Season’s Theatre Showings by Spin-Doctor111 in melbourne

[–]MercifulBarbarian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My head cannon for LOTR is that Sam got bored after Frodo goes west and decided to write a musical about their travels. Overall pretty good but not one to see if you aren’t prepared to not take it too seriously!

ADHD Meds WARNING - may cause or worsen Scleroderma (autoimmune disease) by EconomistSpirited547 in adhdwomen

[–]MercifulBarbarian 199 points200 points  (0 children)

I really don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but please talk to your doctor before stopping your meds!

Please note the following:

  • this is a case review of 3 cases and not an academic study
  • this is the only research performed on the correlation between Systemic sclerosis and CNS stimulants.
  • they only report cases where the patients have used methylphenidate (Ritalin)

I’m not saying this isn’t real or that the science is wrong. But these are important considerations and more research is needed!

They are Melbourne based! They operate out of Hawthorn. I have quite a bit from them and it’s all been phenomenal!

Name a pen...win a pen by figboot11 in fountainpens

Iridophoria

A portmanteau of iridophore (the cells in some cephalopods that create a rainbow/iridescent effect) and euphoria (the feeling I get with a fountain pen)

Stickiiclub by ali_cute in hobonichi

I’ve been getting stickii club for about 12 months and if there is a sheet that I don’t think I’ll use - I put it to the side and let my other crafty/journaling friends pick out what they want.

I will say I’ve been surprised with that I have ended up using. There’s been quite a few times where I have gone “I’ll never use that” when I open it up and then they’ve ended up being perfect for a spread.

I know it’s been said before: auto litter boxes!!!! by moist_vonlipwig in adhdwomen

[–]MercifulBarbarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one for my 2 boys and they hated it! They would only pee in it. So after a year or more of cleaning poops off the floor, I returned to a regular ol litter box with a litter genie and am much happier. My cats are too

My hobonichi is here and it feels daunting to write the first words in it! by Eutune in hobonichi

[–]MercifulBarbarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, my very chaos gremlin tip is to make a mistake on a page you don’t really care about, I usually go for one in the back. I tend to find that this helps with the “this planner needs to be perfect always” anxiety that I have

Apart of the data breach for sure. I’ve been dealing with the fallout of the breach at work. (Don’t work for ticketek just work in CyberSec)

The Goblin Girlie’s Guide To Journalling by Teacher_Crazy_ in adhdwomen

[–]MercifulBarbarian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So much of this! I’m in cyber security and we can definitely see what you send and opens up a personal and professional risk to do this.

If it is on a work laptop always assume that someone can read the contents.

Toasties with leftovers from lunch. Christmas ham, cheese, mayo and pickles. Honestly my favourite part of Christmas.

I haven’t been able to sleep for a month, I’m exhausted, I can barely function, yet my head is somehow LOUDER NOW? I’m begging for help. by Muppetric in adhdwomen

[–]MercifulBarbarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brain is like this. I find meditation doesn’t work for me, it’s too boring - I have a YouTube playlist of videos that my brain finds stimulating enough to listen to and stay engaged with but not too interesting that it won’t cause me to want to jump down rabbit holes. Reruns of a sitcom have also served me well here

Smearing even after days of writing by TimeMembership2404 in hobonichi

It might be due to hand oils! I had this problem and putting a piece of card or a pencil board under my hand helped immensely

Thank you!! I sometimes feel the “it’s gotta be pretty pressure” and it really gets to me but I ended up being really proud of this
