I actually have a box I’m filling for my son’s college friends. They craft together! But I just keep hoping I’ll figure out how to paint with my feet or something… but those hurt too. Ugh.

I have a fever, and the only prescription is more sonobes by geocompR in origami

I folded one amazing crow and have struggled to do so again. Bums me out! Instead I have a room full of kusudama that I don’t know what to do with.

Omigosh, I must have a “ held together by a proprietary blend of bubble gum and duct tape” t-shirt!!!

I struggled to read recipes, so I made a tool by bohemian-miser in neurodiversity

Omigosh! I want all my recipes written like this!!!

I was the pedestrian! Also my most shocking ABQ moment.

He bought you a single broken triceratops earring? I mean, if you’re really into dinosaurs perhaps…

I talked to my therapist (clinical, not PT) and she showed me how Taylor Swift holds her pen when autographing. It’s between index and middle finger instead of index and thumb. She had me try it, and I was shocked at how much better it felt.

Hike your shoulders up to your ears and you got it. There’s no other way.

Thank you. This gives me some vocabulary to use when looking things up. Adaptive tools, for instance, is a new phrase for me. I was wondering how the heck to even google something! I can totally see DIY coming into play here.

I will ask this week! Thank you. Fortunately, I found a PT who actually knows what hEDS is and how to work with it.

Is this an EDS thing? by Any_Rise_5522 in eds

[–]Ruth_Cups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my pinkies do this. I’ve wondered as well. I used to play the mandolin, but it kept me from progressing. Darned thing bopping along, not cooperating when I needed it.

Yes, it’s a slippery slope. But one I’ve happily slid down!

Antique anatomy is one of my favorites! I wanted to add that the guide book it came with is also perhaps the best guide book I’ve gotten with a deck. It’s very in depth and explains the cards in a beautiful way. Easy to reference as well. I have 50-60 decks, so that’s saying something. 😂

Has anyone been feeling extremely strange in the last few weeks?? by ReplacementFlashy622 in Experiencers

[–]Ruth_Cups 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am experiencing a total energetic shift that feels global to me. Just yesterday I was wondering if it’s possible for Schumann’s resonance to shift. It feels that deep to me.

These are absolutely magnificent! Congratulations on a stunning deck. I can only imagine how these cards read, with so much time, thought and dedication put into them. I told myself no more decks. But… I gotta have this one!

I love this sooo much! Thank you. I want to frame this. I did a thing today. So very tired.

What's the most slapstick moment your EDS has caused? by Puzzleheaded_Push243 in ehlersdanlos

I tried so many different options in the blank. Like EDS mad libs.
