I recently learned that October is ADHD Awareness Month

I do suspect I have the combined type but regardless I would like to help spread some awareness by providing some resources (linked at the bottom) + sharing stuff about my Spitzer Space Telescope OC who's ADHD-coded

Spitzer himself has the Combined type, so he has a mix of both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms. He takes pride in his hyperfixations and the hobbies/activities he loves that keep him stimulated. Drumming keeps him moving, and infodumping about astronomy gives him joy. It's especially exoplanets and the infrared side of astronomy that grabs his attention. Listening to noisy breakcore while cleaning up works like a charm. But he also has to find ways to manage troubling symptoms.

Spitzer is prone to being overwhelmed, and that had become more problematic later in his life when burnouts became more apparent and debilitating due to executive dysfunction. He has trouble getting tasks done by himself as he can overlook details or rush/skip steps and often gets distracted and doesn't even realize it. He also has trouble regulating the stress that comes, among other stressors.

His family was able to help him in those aspects. Kepler and Hubble both spent time to help him follow a daily schedule he liked, gave him reminders, and helped to break tasks up into smaller bits. Kepler was there for Spitzer to make sure his observations were on track, but the two took part in a lot of body-doubling, support swapping, and especially infodumping. Hubble wanted to make activities more engaging for Spitzer, and tries to make sure that, when they both hang out, it's something they both can enjoy.

Stargazer did the most when it came to emotional support. She was very comforting, very open, and taught him techniques to ground himself. Spitzer personally thinks that her hugs are the best hugs. Deep pressure helps when he gets stressed; his family knows how well hugs do, but Stargazer's hugs in particular made him feel safe and secure.

Whether or not you have ADHD, there's plenty of ways to support and help someone you know who suspects or has it, and if done, it can go a long way! ADHD has its positive sides but it can also be an actual struggle to live.

(These websites come with plenty of resources, activities, and additional information)

My personal advice and this is something that I think goes a long way: if you're stressed out, take some time to try meditating. It's a good way to ground yourself and has personally helped me with my racing thoughts, and sessions don't have to be long. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water and take steps to get yourself on a diet that can help with your symptoms. ADHD also involves a chemical imbalance in the brain, which can be affected by what you eat. If you do your body good, you can also do your brain good.

And plus, drinking some nice cold water feels refreshing!

the comic of all time

was doodling this as part of a wip artwork...juice and europa clipper are my favorite pair of platonic work spouses

I understand that perhaps not many people watch me, but any sort of action and increasing awareness and education about this situation is super important. Please check this out and help/take action in any way you can ^^

will not be posting art today (march 2nd) in participation of the 1 day strike for Palestine. posted here is some resources + ways to help.

BFDIA 10 has also released today. it is encouraged that you avoid talking about it today and talk about Palestine.

-- educational --

- Decolonize Palestine, an in-depth educational resource about Palestine's history, Israel's rainbow washing, as well as myth debunking.

- Advocating For Palestine, a booklet including how to effectively communicate and advocate for justice, important terminology, and in-depth myth debunking.

-- donation --

- Arab.org , each click donates a small amount. no money necessary!

- Care For Gaza (PayPal link in their bio) trusted organization directly providing aid to Palestinians.

- Funding esims is incredibly important to keeping Gaza connected to the world, and keeping eyes on the atrocities committed, in light of a complete communications blackout.

- UNRWA's funding has been cut by countries in support of Israel. They are short on funds as a result and need help to continue their operations.

- Many Palestinians have started individual GoFundMes or similar fundraisers for help. Here is a document compiling them.

Always be aware of scams, and double check before donating!

- action -

- Official boycott from the BDS Movement. These (the consumer targets) are the companies you should avoid more than any others in support of Palestine, and let it be known why you are avoiding them. The website also explains what the different types of boycotts mean, and some things to keep in mind when boycotting. I'd recommend reading the whole thing. if you want to boycott other entities, that's fine, but FOCUS ON THESE COMPANIES!

- For contacting representatives from a selection of countries

- United States Campaign for Palestinian Rights. Provides more ways of contacting your reps (in the US) as well as resources on other things you can do.

reblog posts, talk about Palestine to anyone who'll listen. keep going until Palestine is free.
