Photo of a sheet of A5 paper with 10 stamped images of a bear with a speech bubble. Each image has a couple of pen strokes in the face of the bear, making the eyes emote various feelings, like sadness, anger, surprise, happiness, etc

Another one of my new stamps... I often joke about me giving other people a (virtual) "massive bipolarbearhug" when I think they could use one. πŸ»β€β„οΈπŸ€—

Photo of an A5 sheet of paper with 9 images of a stamped picture of a goat holding a note, with a bite taken out of it. The eyes are slightly modified with a couple of pen strokes, showing various emotions/expressions written under the image, such as "Innocent", "Evil", "Astounded", "Derpy" etc.

A new stamp which I can use for my bullet journaling etc. Fun fact: I was born in the Chinese year of the Earth Goat 🌍🐐

Photo of a pen drawing of a cat/fox creature looking very sad, angry and disappointed. It is captioned with "Sad/Angy Phox".

Apologies to actual artists.

Ugh, that sucks. Here, have a sad/angy and grimacing Phox as a consolation. Not sure if it'll make you feel better though πŸ€—πŸ’œ

Hearing these still gives me goosebumps:

- The intro to Command & Conquer Red Alert (Hell March)
- The intro to Quake 2 (Sonic Mayhem)
- The intro to Carmageddon (Fear Factory)

I obviously still drink my coffees, teas, etc, but I don't have to keep score of those. The only thing that really matters and counts, is that the bottle should be empty at the end of the day.

I know this isn't exactly ground-breaking, but I didn't think it'd work *this* good for me.

This huge bottle has been a great help in getting me to drink more water. I fill it up with (almost) two liters in the morning. The objective is to drink it throughout the day, and have it empty before I go to bed at night. No more keeping score of all individual cups of coffee, tea, etc πŸ€“ #ADHD

Photo of the first page of the reading journal, which has a label stuck to it, it reads:

"Tsundoku, 積んθͺ­

The phenomenon of acquiring reading materials but letting them pile up in a home without reading them.

The term is also used to refer to unread books on a bookshelf meant for reading later."

Protip taken from a Q&A video by Goulet Pens: you can use an empty Diamine bottle as an inkwell for your sample vials. No more anxiety from the possibility of accidentally tipping over the vial while inking up πŸ€“

Ooooh! I wonder if you could pair these in a set, to create a diskette RAID array to maximize capacity and redundancy! These would be excellent to combat the currently insanely high prices and general unavailability of harddisks, Do they support hot-swapping the diskettes? πŸ€“

Few people know those are actually also sound-activated. Just shout really loud to re-activate the lights.

I love how this photo turned out, this was all done practical, no effects post-processing or AI. I used a gelled synced flashgun with a MacGyver'ed black paper snoot to channel the lightbeam into a small tight spot. An assistant pointed it at Erwin's hands to create the red ❀️ flic.kr/p/2rXKNv7

Er hing een serene sfeer in de space vandaag, we kwamen vandaag niet om enkel te programmeren en solderen, maar vooral ook om thee te proeven. Squirl had een theedrink sessie georganiseerd, en het blijkt dat dit een heel eigen ding is om over te nerden: hack42.nl/blog/2026/02/hack-thee-en-veertig

I feel that, and do that too. It's *very* unhealthy for us. Every time you feel and say things like that to yourself, you should *literally* tell that thought to STOP and call it out for what it is: internalized ablism, and try to re-frame it in a more positive way. And yes, that is fucking hard. πŸ€—

Yuh, I feel that. Being neurodivergent means that some things just won't *ever* work for us. That's sad but true, and totally valid to mourn about, and go through the stages of grief.

Also, I'm being massively hypocritical, because I do everything you do too. It's hard to love oneself and be kind.

...right now? Maybe it just doesn't fit with you at all? Bottom line is that you tried it, and that's a *big* win. πŸ’ͺπŸ’œ
