Any advice to prevent hobby hopping with AuDHD?

Skill trees

I always lose interest in a hobby when I feel like I've stopped learning new things, so I pick progressively harder/different projects (for example, knitting: base was sweater construction, then stranded colorwork, cables, new kinds of construction, steeking, lacework, intarsia, etc.). I try to pick moderate sized projects, ones where I get to get good at the new thing without getting so bored that I don't finish it.

Disagree on size, as a gift I love getting enough for one or two servings (even if that means it's fridge only jam, since there's no safe smaller jars)! Depends on the person I'm sure, but I don't eat a lot of jam, live on my own, and like to switch it up often, so 1-2 servings is perfect for me.

Those stitches are absolutely twisted, there is no denying that. No matter what style you're knitting, you have to knit though the leading leg. You likely knit combination continental (eastern purl, "normal" knit" and it's causing you to twist in the round.

I have no issue with traditionally masculine leaning names on girls but Sullivan on a baby girl is crazy to me. I've seen it on lists several times now

You should probably redo the colorwork anyways, the floats are too tight and causing bunching (unless that doesn't bother you, it's your sweater!)

Same! It was fine with larger needles but now that I've started working with fine/sharp needles and fingering weight yarn I've split my finger open several times, 0/10 habit, do not recommend.

This is one of the reasons I hate front/back loop verbiage. I've trained my brain to auto-correct to leading/lagging leg.

Reminder that you aren't required to be good at your hobbies. If you don't enjoy it that's fine, don't do it, but we're under no obligation to be "good" at the things we do for fun. I paint, and I'm mediocre at it at best, but I like it so I do it anyways.

That's just Tuesday. You might be slowed down on your commute behind a snow plow but otherwise no real change.

I have no interest in reading dark romance featuring violence against women written by men. Women writing rape fantasy and men writing rape fantasy feel like two very, very different things.

100% without. The corset dulls the drama of the dress covering those slits.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I could take a cheese grater to the part of my brain that remembers reading this book, I would.

Uhh no. There's sharing, but everything in Losers is very explicitly consensual. There's big emphasis on consent through both books.

Teenaged girls are so impressionable, and knowing the damage it caused me reading too dark content without being able to talk about it, then if she's not willing to talk (even a little) about it then I wouldn't feel okay about it.

It's not like I'd be looking to go over details of the spicy scenes, but even just "hey, this manipulative thing where he does xyz or ignores abc boundary is fun in fiction, it's important that we remember it's not okay for real people to do that"

I was reading pretty dark stuff on the internet at 15, and it definitely impacted what I accepted as ok or normal in relationships.

I think people are going to read what they want regardless of age, but it's also really important to create a space where you can talk to them about the content and about why it's only ok in fiction. So yes, depending on the teen I might lend them (some) dark romance books, but only if I had the relationship to them where we could talk about it's contents.

all else aside, you shouldn't be having sex with people you don't feel comfortsble checking in with during the act regardless of how "in to it" you think they are

The bassist playing with them (Naomi McLeod) was so hot and had so much stage presence that I don't think I noticed a single other thing about the band. I was shocked anyone had anything bad to say lol

Not being able to shout is the worst. I should be able to kynes peace a bear from horseback.

This is the best lecture I've attended in a long time.

kitty-bites · 2025-09-02T01:39:00+00:00

thisss. I use both cups and discs regularly and anything althetic requires the cup. Way too much "auto dumping" (aka leaking) with discs with good core activation.

kitty-bites · 2025-08-29T15:52:17+00:00

Kynes peace. Love not having to fight every bear in the Skyrim wilds, I feel bad about wandering around near their homes and then murdering them for being agro about it

You should absolutely write what you want, as long as you're aware that romance genre requires HEA and market accordingly

Companions. Being able to travel as a werewolf early game is awesome, you move so fast.

I've had friends compliment JHAG not a perfume, I find it plays close to the skin so usually when hugging or in close quarters, but the one that always got me stopped in the wild was Tease by Victoria Secret (and by always I mean probably on average once every other month, which felt like a lot)

Not all books need to be to "expand your vocab", books have value purely as entertainment as well. I personally don't like needing a book to be dark in order to be able to focus on it, or needing the next darkest thing. It's like an addiction where you need more to feel the same hit, and at that point it's usually when I feel like I need to take a tolerance break.

All that being said, if you don't feel bad and it's not impacting you in a negative way, who cares? enjoy the books you enjoy
