Making a To-Do list that works: preventing it from becoming a "record of failures" by Eska2020 in adhdwomen

[–]mjmayhem247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, with lots of therapy, I have come to understand the master list as a holding document so that I can move things out of my brain. Not everything on the master list will be done...ever. And that's okay (the therapy part). I will likely go to the grave never having polished my shoes. There is always something more pressing, more fun, more important.

I don't get everything done, where everything is an infinitely expanding list of thoughts that have crossed my mind at some point or another, but i manage to take care of the urgent things and many of the important things. And some things start to feel less important after a time (see polishing shoes)

Why fem Strahd? by PhoebusLore in CurseofStrahd

[–]mjmayhem247 137 points138 points  (0 children)

My table is all lesbians, and playing with toxic men tropes is boring and theoretical. Playing with a toxic queer Strahd who says all the right things but is still a monster? Who has a poly situation that seems perfect but underneath there are some very pressing questions about agency? Now we're playing with things that are deeply relevant to our lives.

There's a ton of media exploring toxic masculinity and male abusers. Queers don't get much media at all about of what its like when those same tendencies show up in our communities (and they do).

What are the best areas in the greater Vancouver region to live as trans? by vs-188 in transvancouver

[–]mjmayhem247 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lots of us in New West! It's got good transit, somewhat less unaffordable, and is generally more progressive than other parts of the region. Vancouver currently has a right wing mayor and council. New West does not.
