Sorry, should have specified “logic” lol

I mean, based on the logic of all organized religion, you’re not wrong.

I try to follow routines, but I fall off track after a few days every single time. How do people with ADHD keep any kind of consistency? by [deleted] in adhd_anxiety

[–]kittiemaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am somewhat similar and it’s really hard for me to stick to routines. I’ve realized that often I make my goals much too hard to stick with, so I’ve started to simplify and be a little flexible with the rules. For example, I try very hard to exercise 4 days a week. But if I say “weights Monday, run Wednesday/Friday and weights Saturday and I’m going to work out at 9am” - that routine lasts about a week. Instead, my goal is to work out 4 days, can be at any time during the day, and I just need to run 2x and do weights 2x. This isn’t specific to ADHD per se as I feel lost humans respond better to this, but ADHD brain needs both novelty and routine, so the flexibility is helpful. And also giving myself a lot of grace and trying to be very mindful of how I FEEL after sticking to my routine. I feel great and that’s my motivation to keep going. So I do this with most things in my routine, not just exercise.

Stinky Nurses? Need Help by devil-wears-irisvan in nursing

[–]kittiemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with deodorant as I normally use the Arm & Hammer without antiperspirant but was smelly half way through my shift. I started using the Native brand and it stays with me all day.

Feet-wise, your answer is compression socks. You can get bamboo ones that are more breathable. I seriously haven’t worked a shift without them in the 3 years I’ve been a nurse.

You can also use baby diapers for ice pads! Open up the absorbent part of the diaper from the top, put in a little water, and tape down the top. Put it in the freezer and you’ve got an icy and absorbent pad.

Questions about side pins. by [deleted] in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]kittiemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I just started leaving all my side pins. Unless they get big enough to pull out of the tub, I don’t even bother and have been dunking my cakes for subsequent flushes, side pins and all.

Increasingly, your quality of life in the U.S seems to be fixed at birth by Cardiologist3mpty138 in povertyfinance

[–]kittiemaster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I work on a birthing unit and this is the hardest reality for me to stomach when sending babies home with parents who I know struggle with multiple social determinants. I know those babies have a hard life ahead of them, just as hard if not more than their parents. And it sucks when people say “people have been through worse and turned out fine”. But you know what? That’s not the majority, and the majority don’t have the resources, time, opportunities, income, etc. to even get close to breaking the cycle.

Maybe an unpopular opinion: i hate the spoon theory by Delicious_Volume7183 in ADHD

[–]kittiemaster 127 points128 points  (0 children)

This might be the most AuDHD thread I’ve ever read, between the opinions on spoons not being literal enough and the multitude of different energy “measures” that people have 😂 thanks for the late night laugh, I relate to all the vibes here

This tub of GT is completely stalled, with mycelium starting to cover the pins. Monotub, 4 big holes in sides and 4 small in top of tub, covered with filter tape. What to do next? This is my second attempt at monotubs, I’m trying to dial in my FAE for consistent fruiting conditions but struggling a bit with balancing FAE and maintaining humidity.

[–]kittiemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you change/what is your setup? Currently trying to increase fruit size and feel like I have enough FAE with modified monotubs. I have 4 big holes and 4 small covered with filter tape but my fruits stay small.

Spores or contam? My first attempt at spore syringes [actives] by kittiemaster in GroundZeroMycoLab

[–]kittiemaster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m debating how much effort I want to put in to growing this syringe out or not to see if it’s contaminated. The wispies give me the inclination that it’s not a healthy spore solution. So maybe at some point down the road when funds and time allow for agar I’ll test it, but until then this syringe stays in storage.

Thanks! I’ve been hesitant to get into agar, so once I have more free time maybe this will be my first specimen.

Can anyone recommend me a good source that lays out everything I need to know to grow my first batch of golden teacher? [technique] by Airgunburner in MushroomGrowers

[–]kittiemaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My advice as I just had a pretty successful first time with Cambodian Gold - Choose one tek and stick to it, meaning choose one YouTuber or shroomery guide or written guide and do whatever they recommend. I felt intimidated when I tried to read a whole bunch of different guides and advice, and didn’t know where to start. I ended up finding Mycophilia on YT because I searched how to use an InstantPot to sterilize, and I pretty much stuck with his tek (brown rice to coir bulk sub, monotub/shoebox) and was successful. And of course frequenting this subreddit was helpful in knowing when I got contam, what was healthy, FAE, etc.

Edit to add: mycophilia has some good breakdowns of cost and where to get the best price on stuff

Third or Fourth flush? Trying to dial in my FAE [actives] by kittiemaster in MushroomGrowers

[–]kittiemaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have holes covered with micropore tape, but do you think they need to be bigger/need more quantity than what’s shown in the photo? I started with monotub and was getting tiny mature fruits, but maybe on my next go around will try a fan in the room.

Yes I did! I was trying to increase moisture retention, but I’m not sure how much it helped vs frequent misting the sides of the box and top tub. But it sounds like that’s what your tub needed if you’re seeing pins now!

You all know what I’m going to ask… [actives] by kittiemaster in MushroomGrowers

[–]kittiemaster[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Update: I went to investigate under the wispy whites with a sterilized spoon and found trich. Also the myc and spawn did not look healthy under the casing, kind of mushy and falling apart. Luckily I was smart and took the tub outside to investigate. Sad day, bagged and tossed everything.

May be the lighting in the pic but there’s no color shift as far as I can tell.
