I introduced my 7 and 10 year old kiddos to a 1990’s puppet show version of a 1980’s cassette tape of story-songs I grew up with (and loved) that I was able to find on YouTube and they are 100% into it and did not seem to care or even notice that the quality of the video is absolutely terrible— not only bc of what was likely an extremely minimal budget and poor production quality to begin with, but also bc it was probably digitized from an old VHS tape to get it up on YouTube 7 years ago in the first place.
(The attached image is a screen grab of what is supposed to be a hippopotamus 🦛. Its ’mouth’ is open bc it’s ‘singing’ about how hippos have feelings too.)
Can someone eli5 what exactly the point is of literally almost all of these clanker coins, creator coins, random other coins?
Most of it seems to be distraction based dopamine chasing in the form of gambling, but maybe I’m just not seeing the full picture?
Genuinely curious and willing to change my mind here..
Still here for the art and the tech and the people I’m friends with.
Just so utterly bored by shitcoin focused shit.
Hit a huge sale at Blick Art and stocked up on canvases like a true art degen 🖌️🎨
I usually work pretty exclusively on wood panels when I make physical work because I’m so rough on my surfaces, but these premium canvases can actually take my chaotic layering.
Feeling loaded up for a bit.
Let’s see what kind of glitchy, mixed media maximalist trouble I get into next 😎🤑
Turns out that when kids w ADHD are properly medicated early on, they actually have the amazing opportunity to gain the executive functioning skills for life that so many of us adults w ADHD missed out on (and still don’t have) bc they’re actually getting the help they need while all that brain growth and those synapse connections are getting made.
I’m not saying there weren’t plenty of people who were over medicated as children but I am saying that I personally got fucked not getting diagnosed until my mid 20s and not doing much about it until my early 40s.
The more I read and learn about ADHD, the more grateful I am to know what I know now so I can actually help my kids functioning in life skills.
The amount of crap I’ve internalized as character flaws that was simply untreated ADHD is horrific.
Knowing all this on a logical level is one thing.
Figuring out how to heal my inner psyche is a whole other thing though.
My body feels things my brain knows better about but knowing how to connect the two can be a struggle.
It’s not that I’m unhappy w where I am or who I am. I’ve done a lot of inner work and I do truly like myself,
just also in my feelings today as I watch myself do for my kids what I really wish someone had been able to do for me, bc it turns out I was never ‘lazy’ like my teachers thought, but I did have a severe lack of executive functioning skills that I still struggle with deeply.
Glad to know I can make the difference in this way for my kids though, and not allow them to fall through the cracks of “so smart and so much potential— if only they’d apply themselves” bullshit, and that’s probably the thing that matters most to me right now.
Welp.. my low low limit orders on BTC and ETH all went through today..
And didn’t bounce :(
This is why I stopped DCAing a while back and started limit ordering instead..
