new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

It bears saying that in this era of Is Everything Expensive Or Am I Just Poor that using up fabric for a muslin feels so wrong

Like I'd do it if I were making anything fancy but the closest I've got is a "make a pyjamas version first" which I hear we are calling a wearable mockup

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

Anyway you continue to be extremely cool and skilled at many things!

This such a massive fucking mood

Esp when I'm not exactly a pro at fixing more complex fit issues so sometimes it's just like......well that pattern doesn't fit me I guess.

(These days I take a pattern from clothes I own that fit and just make another but with e.g. higher rise/longer legs)

And there were always undone items. Always. Turns out I DO get a little dopamine brain reward for completing tasks but only when they are Actually Finished, not for doing intermediate steps.

Anyway brains are strange. Idk exactly why this extremely hacky solution seems to work but, yay? I guess?

Probably the most important thing for ADHD folks tho is the sense of Completion. Lots of us wondered if we were broken bc ticking off to do list items didn't feel good at all.

For me it seems that the remaining undone items meant I never got to properly finish anything.

Really difficult to describe how many previously intractable problems this has solved for me. It seems to not have created any new ones, too.

I write a thing down and it just sort of seems to get done. Not always very fast, and it took several days of getting very nearly nothing done to adjust, but now I feel like I'm having a peek into how non-ADHD people operate RE to do lists.

Which is to say,much much better than a longer to do list with some items left un-crossed-out

Idk something about making myself choose only one task and focus only on that until it's complete cuts out a lot of mental background noise and anxiety.

If you have any sort of anxiety or exec dysfunction can I recommend the One Item To-Do List? Because I have a lot of those things and still, I now also have a reporter sized notebook with several pages of completed tasks. This feels surprisingly good

I had to look this one up and, sorry what
You seem to be in about 1962 as far as your parents' social media is concerned 🤔

Mdr whyyyyyy do I still understand all of this when I can't string together a sentence anymore???

Fr wild that I didn't know that. It is NOT obvious that English isnt your first language, jesus that's impressive

The trouble is I know someone who's option number two and they have the same eyes. She's gay but loves it when she wears something low cut and men walk into lampposts*. So, you know, how much of my read is projection etc etc

*I have seen this happen.

I'm on the fence about whether this is actually how he works or whether he just knows exactly how to draw people in in this way and is in fact a dom, the kind that plays with his food. I lean often to the second option but have no trouble being convinced of the first.

yes THANK you so few people get him because he enjoys seducing people and looking gender ambiguously wreckable and masochistic and yet. And yet. He's looking at you with laughing hungry eyes as you tie the ropes around his wrists tight and feel like you're about to be eaten.

This post is how I 1) found out you speak French, and 2) realised that I also still do, more or less. Read it anyway.

Oh wow that was FAST

This is extremely real actually. This in particular. Myeon is the world's most obvious sadist and he has a massive Thing In His Head about it and he and yeol are weird enough about it already and Taemin would take the absolute wind out of his sails

You are describing palatalisation! When the tongue actually hits the soft palate that's when a full on y sound comes out but the difference is audible even if it doesn't.

In a way the letter y basically isn't consonant - it's a symbol that means "palatalise this vowel" in English.

A small ball that sits just at the roof of the mouth where the hard palate meets soft and you have to talk around it so the tongue is kindof always a bit depressed compared to an equivalent british or US pronunciation

Tldr I agree with you. And in some words from some speakers the ㅔㅐis audible!

You're exactly right - although I think the difference in the vowel probably isn't as much of an issue as "dude why did you put a letter y in there????"

Which now I think about it is less pronounced in an aussie accent because, like, half of an aussie accent is pretending there's

"I have never once had enough of you" I am going to SCREAM INTO A PILLOW

Oh my god this author *understands Ilya*.

I haven't read much HR fic because I was spoiled by the show being too good but this - wow they're right. Ty for this amazing rec.

I switched to IPA because English isn't well suited to describe vowels since they shift so much in different accents, and because to convey the /e̞/ sound in English you have to write ay or ey which include a y which is the thing that's "wrong" to begin with.

And you're right, the vowel sound for tennis is /ɛ/ which is different.

Note for the nerdy: some dialects and older speakers will say that /ɛ/ is correct forㅐbut for the vast majority of speakers both ㅐ and ㅔ are pronounced /e̞/ (sound in link above) and even newsreaders do this now.

The vowel sound for Tae is this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_fro... (there's an audio file).

We do sort of use this in English but we always palatalise it (put a y sound at the end), which is why his name becomes Taymin.

We're doing the same thing there that Russian speakers do in English 😅

Honestly I have no idea! Cake reports that drinks taste different and less like alcohol once she's had some, and I've heard enough people say this (and seen them drink some HORRIBLE drinks) that I wondered how standard it is
