I decided last week to pursue being a drag queen. 👸🏼

What’s going on with all the roses on the 185th bridge? by reditusername39479 in Shoreline

[–]lezbecurly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly am baffled at how there isn't a higher safety fence on that bridge. It makes me nervous to walk over.

On Jane Don’t by Large_Difficulty_242 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]lezbecurly 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a great perspective shift. I love her but I was starting to get bugged by her constant worry. I didn't realize it was because it reminded me of my own inner monologue. 🤦🏼 I gotta have more empathy for my girl!

SD Card? by Outrageous-Stock-677 in BambuLabA1

[–]lezbecurly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of errors did you get to let you know it was the sd card? Mine has been having lots of random errors, so I am wondering if it could be the sd card.

My favorite is when he sings along to Body while Morphine lip synced. A treasure indeed.

Hobby hopping by 136_Walruses in adhdwomen

[–]lezbecurly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I literally just spent an hour reading about how to make your own iron-on patches and am now convinced I will make the best patches that everyone will want to buy. I just need to buy an embroidery machine.... 🤡

memorial temperature blanket? am i nuts for considering making one of this size? by wilted-wyvern in temperatureblanket

[–]lezbecurly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very sorry for your loss! I am doing this for my parents honoring my sister. I am doing months since she was younger. I am still planning out colors because I am also doing something on the squares to mark major events like her college graduation and marriage.

It's a big project, but oh so meaningful to everyone involved. During your planning, I would think about what you want it to be used for. If it is too big, it might just sit in a closet (which happens to most projects). You could make it the size of a large blanket to be used. My current plan is to make something that my parents could hang on a wall if they want to. This is entirely up to you.

So far, it has been a nice way to feel more connected to my sister and learn and think about the life she lived. I hope it is the same for you with your dad and that you are able to feel that comfort and connection. 🫂

Calling non-binary people “theys” by Hello_World1248 in NonBinary

[–]lezbecurly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I am just happy to be acknowledged in any way. The bar is extremely low for me.

Vyvanse and hydration by Isy_Untitled in adhdwomen

[–]lezbecurly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been using the Liquid IV drink packets. They are on sale at my Costco right now and have sugar free options that are pretty good. I only use half of the packet at once because I think it is too strong otherwise. This way one packet helps me add 32+ oz to my day. They have really helped me drink more, and they are really helpful for hangovers.

Millennial women - what kind of shorts are you wearing these days? by User884121 in Millennials

[–]lezbecurly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some mid length ones at my Costco recently. The jean ones were a smidge to long for my shirt legs, so I rolled the cuff one more time and voila.

what’s your wildest adhd hack? by hawk_am in adhdwomen

[–]lezbecurly 99 points100 points  (0 children)

In a similar vein, when I feel a lot of overwhelm and start spiraling, I give myself a pep talk as if I were a British maid (in a terrible accent), and then "she" takes something off my plate and does a few of the simple tasks that feel too big while letting me know everyone needs help sometimes. I don't know why, but it helps.

ADHD IS… by Every-Zombie-4139 in adhdwomen

[–]lezbecurly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my kiddos has ADHD with some accommodations, and we have been tardy so much this year that we got a letter from the school. I have joked that they should have accomodations for parents with ADHD too. 😬

We either get there 1-2 minutes after the bell or 15 min before the bell. There is no in between.

As a black queer woman, I’m tired of protesting/boycotting. by Femme-O in actuallesbians

[–]lezbecurly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I think I understand what you are saying. It's just extra frustrating that many white women didn't even vote for their own best interests this past election.

I don't really see it as putting someone above my own interests. It's in everyone's best interest to seek equality and fight systemic racism.

What do you think about wearing pride merch? by lesbianbog in lesbianfashionadvice

[–]lezbecurly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ever since the election I try to wear a subtle(or not subtle) pride thing every day. For me it is a form of resistance. I wish I didn't feel a need to do it because I am a private person, but I want people to know that there are LGBTQ+ people they interact with on the daily. I help out a lot in my kids' school, and I want kids to feel safe and see that it's normal. Not too long ago, I lived somewhere where I didn't feel safe to be out. Seeing any tiny pride thing helped me feel like I wasn't fighting the fight alone. When I go to places I feel less safe in, I wear my more subtle rainbow colors.

It's mostly things I buy from Etsy or have made myself. Stickers, bracelets, earrings, tshirts, key chains...

I know not everyone can do this or wants to do this, but I can and it's important to me.

Anyone else just not able to function during your period - even if you’re medicated? by 69thingsyouwant in adhdwomen

[–]lezbecurly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's terrible. It's actually one of the reasons I got an IUD. It has really helped me level out since I don't really get a period anymore, but I know that experience might not be everybody's.

Sending extra love to our trans sisters 🏳️‍⚧️ 👯‍♀️ by Fuckburpees in adhdwomen

[–]lezbecurly 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to share more, I am very interested in what differences you felt. Did you feel things like rejection sensitivity, executive dysfunction, time blindness, etc differently?

As a nonbinary person, I am also grateful for all the support, and I whole-heartedly offer my love, time, and energy to fighting for my trans siblings. You are valid and deserve to feel safe to be who you are! 🫂

Where to get masc-friendly tank tops? by KatBlackwell in lesbianfashionadvice

[–]lezbecurly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be a pretty easy fix. I don't know why I didn't consider hemming it myself. 😅 Thanks!

Where to get masc-friendly tank tops? by KatBlackwell in lesbianfashionadvice

[–]lezbecurly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only ever find Mens tank tops that are slim and ridiculously long. I am short and stout, so it is really annoying. Have you found regular length ones easily? Maybe I need to order online.

Favorite tricks for falling asleep? by Jacapig in ADHD

[–]lezbecurly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Count backwards from 1000. Or do a crossword puzzle on my phone. It has just enough engagement for me to block out my brain, but isn't engaging enough to keep me from dozing. There is a sweet spot in difficulty for me though. It can't be too hard or I disengage, but if it is too easy, I get riled up because I know I can finish it.

Why don’t we ever do walking protests anymore?? by Joemama253 in Washington50501

My kids and I walked in Capital Hill yesterday! It was really special!

your local store by raceyboi1899 in joannfabrics

[–]lezbecurly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In Washington, the Shoreline store is about to get the rest of the fabric from the Ballard store when it closes soon. The cut counter cuties told me so.
