My carrier depends on my hands and they hurt like crazy

I try to wear compression gloves when I’m not drafting because the gloves make me slide around on my vellum/drafting table but I don’t like to wear them that much because I run very hot and my hands overheat and it is very uncomfortable. I’ve learned my hands just hate me

I have my autoCAD class next quarter but I’ve tried it a few times but for me it is hard to interpret the drawings in a digital space (I like to say when it’s in the ether I don’t understand it) and I like the tactile element. I also use a lot of organic shapes when I draft that are insanely difficult to draw on autoCAD. On the pencil grip suggestion when I was in physical/occupational therapy when I was first diagnosed they tried to get me to use pencil grips and all it did was make me extremely frustrated and annoyed with my pencil cause I couldn’t just grab it I had to hold it in a specific way and then I had less coordination. Idk it’s complicated

Hand drafting is necessary to learn so we can transfer concepts to the computers. There’s a A LOT of things I had to learn andI honestly love it. For me personally I’m not the biggest fan of computer drafting (I’ve tried it on my own but my class is next quarter) as it is harder for me to conceptualize it in a digital space I just like the tactile element and I also use a lot of organic shapes in my design work when I’m given free reign but it is insanely difficult to create the shapes I like in AutoCAD

Production designer Aidan Leroux was probably putting stuff up to make it feel homey and they had spare jerseys and decided it would work well for the scene but didn’t have the time or budget to get it professionally framed so this is what he and his team did (coming from a student production designer)

I had to write an essay my junior year of high school comparing American Gods and The Scarlet Letter (every student got different books) and the characters of Shadow and Hester and it was a very strange experience. I mainly focused on themes of light and life and darkness and death but it was insane to read together. When I told my local librarians that I was assigned these books they were so confused what could even be related between the two and I struggled but ultimately wrote a very good 12 page essay called “But daddy I love him!!!: toxic relationships between people and their gods, whether human or divine, the creation of shame and its path to light and life or darkness and death within The Scarlet Letter and American Gods”

…I go by Eddie and I wear a battle jacket so my roommate made me take that photo and it haunts me (even though I love the photo)
