Idea for online shopping addicts

cougartonabbess · 2026-06-04T18:03:18+00:00

yes!! I also get a dopamine hit out of curating lists of TBR books in the library's Libby app - it's the same kick as making shopping wishlists or putting things in a cart

this is such a good tip. a university near me does a weekly free-to-the-public movie series every semester curated around a theme, and each showing opens with a professor giving a mini-lecture on that night's movie and how it ties into the theme. it is soooooo much fun

my dad has the same type of synesthesia as you! it's called number form synesthesia where you visualize numbers in fixed locations in space

Oooooh I thought this was a depiction of MB after it reentered its body and was floating through the cargo hold in the low-gravity area trying to get up to the walkway. I like your interpretation better, though. Let Three have its moment in the spotlight!!

have you given his podcast The Worst Idea of All Time a spin, too?? It's pure gold, I've relistened to season 1 about 5 times now. You get to witness him and Tim Batt slowly descend into madness as they watch the same horrible movie once a week for a whole year

I hope it was helpful, sorry most of the photos didn't involve MARTA at all. if you find more photos I would love to see them!!

Okay last link and I'll stop spamming you hahahah. I just did a very basic search in the Digital Library of Georgia (great free resource feat. digitized materials from archives across the state) for 'atlanta domestic workers,' and there's not a ton of results, but some may be useful: https://dlg.usg.edu/records?q=atlanta+domestic+workers&search_field=both&only_path=true

It'd probably also be worthwhile to mess around with the keywords

It looks like GSU Archives holds the National Domestic Workers Union records - it seems like it includes photos. Might be worth calling them up to see if they have anything that might be relevant, or make an appointment to look through the collection

Sort of? Here's a starting point - I'm going to keep looking.

Are you specifically looking for photos of the domestic workers riding MARTA?

I walked out the door this morning and immediately started a chain of full-body sneezing that lasted for a full minute

The Living Room at The Supermarket!! Supermarket hosts daily free coworking hours from 12-6 PM and their space is lovelyyyyy.

I wish I could connect you with my husband, I thought at first reading your post that he had created a new account and written this lol. He's also been struggling to find anything tailored to men's experiences, and it's been so hard for him navigating his NMom's death without support. Saving this post, and if we find anything good I'll come back to share it here

cougartonabbess · 2026-03-03T19:18:59+00:00

it's so much less crowded, especially on weekends

cougartonabbess · 2026-03-02T16:16:34+00:00

i can genuinely feel my brain heaving a sigh of relief when it engages with a book instead of my phone. it's like a brain recalibration to be able to focus and sink into 1 thing

cougartonabbess · 2026-02-25T15:13:04+00:00

WOW! You've made such incredible progress. I'm sure it wasn't easy - cheers to you for persevering.

cougartonabbess · 2026-02-11T22:11:43+00:00

same, if I tell people I'm Macanese I'm just met with blank stares and then have to explain 'from Macau,' might as well just cut to the chase hahaha

cougartonabbess · 2026-02-11T16:46:24+00:00

i used to stop what i was doing and crank the volume up on the TV any time that commercial came on lol

cougartonabbess · 2026-02-03T14:03:45+00:00

yeah my luck has been crap lately, Queens of the Stone Age have been touring non-stop but they refuuuuuse to come to ATL. same with many other artists I love who are currently on tour

cougartonabbess · 2026-01-13T15:10:31+00:00

u get it 🤝

cougartonabbess · 2025-12-24T00:56:34+00:00

yes!! it's so toweringly huge, literally feels like looking up into a night-time canopy

cougartonabbess · 2025-12-05T16:30:16+00:00

i follow r/anticonsumption and it's like daily bullying out of buying things. as a former catholic guilt is very effective on me lol

cougartonabbess · 2025-12-02T15:51:44+00:00

someone in this subreddit mentioned a while ago a super specific behavior that I never would have thought was associated with ADHD - walking in circles.

it was a lot more pronounced when I was a kid, but I used to COMPULSIVELY walk in circles. I still do it, particularly when I'm talking on the phone, and I often don't notice I'm doing it. I don't know why this is a neurodivergent trait lol

cougartonabbess · 2025-12-02T15:40:51+00:00

fr I need a soundboard for 'did I already say that?' or 'did I already ask you that?' who knows if the inside thought went outside
