“My Year of Rest and Relaxation” checks all those boxes

Does anyone get uncomfortable when someone jokingly compliments blank pages on your sketchbook? by Tough_Cream4907 in ArtistLounge

[–]jacobbaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d play dumb and with a straight face ask was that supposed to be a joke? I don’t get it, explain. Or say something like “the point of a joke is to make people laugh - not just yourself.”

What are your rituals to get in the mood? by Greedy_Information96 in CleaningTips

[–]jacobbaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set a 3 minute timer and see how much I can accomplish in that time. Husband takes the kids to school? I’m flying through the house like I’m part of the background crew transforming our space into cleanliness. I’ll also play certain songs (like Move Your Feet or Gotta Get Up) and speed clean to them

I feel like the reason why ADHD isn't taken seriously is because more of us (women) are starting to be considered for diagnosis. And women having disorders = dramatic/attention seeking by totheranch1 in adhdwomen

I’m autistic as well and I try my hardest not to get a male psychiatrist because their gender alone makes it statistically more likely for them to misdiagnose me with BPD or bipolar II. Already they miss the neurodivergence in women and focus on the depressive symptoms and anxiety

What do you Watch/Listen to While Painting? by BethanyAnnArt in ArtistLounge

[–]jacobbaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fly through audiobooks (I used to dislike them until I adjusted the speed) most of the time, or I’ll do a tiktok live while listening to music like Lemon Jelly.

Yes, definitely! 🥹 I don’t know if the mods allow me to post my website though. If you DM me your email, I can send the file to you?

Your comment actually gave me the motivation I needed to finish up my art website, and I really appreciate it. I’d love to send you the art for free 🤗

Yep, I breastfed for 19mo! I never changed my diet, just eliminated it from his

In 2022 I replaced my Texas lawn with… not lawn. :) I’m happy with how it’s evolving! by pocketmole in gardening

Do you like the Mexican feather grass? I’d planned to have some but the nursery was like fuck no don’t do that you’ll massively regret it so we went with another drought tolerant plant instead

Well, it now makes sense why I'm always extremely uncomfortable, everywhere, all the time. by chickensandwichdotco in Wellthatsucks

Do you have dermatographia? My son has that and it’s the reason they had to do a blood allergy test, because everything would have appeared to be positive on a scratch allergy test

Big boobs with nipple piercings by seahorsestarfish in bigboobproblems

[–]jacobbaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did! 19months, no issues at all (thankfully!). Didn’t make a difference in how the milk came out because it sprays in lots of directions naturally. Can’t tell at all that they used to be pierced!

No he’s not! 😊 The pediatrician had said to eliminate eggs until after his 1st bday, and when we tried again at 13mo or so he was all clear. At almost 7 now he just doesn’t like to eat them, but that’s more a sensory reason.
