I prefer the latter cause I usually really enjoy my hyperfixations, but unfortunately it's usually the former.😩

An image that humorously depicts the dilemma of being unable to choose how long a new hyperfixation might last, a relatable scenario for many people, especially those with ADHD.

The top half shows the classic two-button meme, with one button labeled “lasting 3 weeks” and the other “lasting 3 years.” The character is visibly sweating, unable to decide which button to press. The bottom half captions this scenario as “NEW HYPERFIXATION,” humorously emphasizing the unpredictable and overwhelming nature of hyperfixations.

    Tiedättekö sen tunteen kun olette ajatelleet että nyt teen töitä kohtuullisella vauhdilla ja pidän taukoja ja syön ja juon niillä tauoilla... ja kun viikonloppu tulee niin on ihan poikki ja itkettää, kun ei ole perkele pitänyt niitä taukoja tai syönyt mitään järkevää ja unohtanut kokonaan juoda mitään muuta kuin energiajuomia. Ja siitä kohtuullisesta vauhdista on ehkä parempi etten kommentoi.

          post for my new account, now that my old server is closing down and basically forcing my hand.

          This is an account primarily for learning to art better, after a gap of several years due to burning out in animation school because of denial and a crisis of confidence. Got rid of my drawing desk, threw out old sketchbooks, the whole bit.

          Now I'm starting from scratch, focusing on entirely different sorts of art than I'd done before, and finding that I like it much better. Mostly I'm focusing on and

          A page divided into eight panels, each with a rough sketch of a household item drawn in ink and coloured with highlighter. These include a Playstation controller, a headlight on a classic truck, a bottle of moisturizer, a glass mug partially filled with tea, a tube of skin cream next to a recipe card box, leaves of a plant, the vapour lock on a wine carbuoy, and a corner punch.

In the margins are a variety of Zentangle doodles, depicting balls, woven shapes, tendrils and bars.

              This is my new instance that I'm self hosting. How long will I keep it around? No fucking clue(editors note: So far 7 months and counting?! wtf time flys). But provided it's not too big of a resource drain, I'll at least try to. So basically it either won't survive through the weekend or is hopefully here to stay.

              I'm an IT nerd, I like self hosting things. I can go on long rambles about my infrastructure for sure. Mostly linux and k8s.

              I'm and started medically transitioning in early 2022 and had a vaginoplasty+trachea shave in Feb 2024 (see pinned post for details if interested in that recovery and stuff!). I occasionally post about my transition here, as well as my mental health struggles (CW'd and often followers only). I'm very open about my transition if you're queer. Feel free to ask (good faith) questions if you're queer or questioning.

              I'm self diagnosed as autistic and ADHD (Thank fuck medicated for the adhd). I'll talk about that shit here. If I mess up socially or do something wrong, please let me know, there's a good chance I'm not aware.

              I will likely also end up posting lewds/lewd content on this account, but will always have a CW in place for such content(if I miss something let me know!). I'll occasionally post nude content in regards to my medical recovery (with CW), but lewd pics go to my lewd alt.

              I game occasionally, been playing a little of Cyberpunk2077 since the 2.0/2.1 updates. Generally though my brain doesn't actually let me play much these days. That and being too busy with meatspace life.

              I occasionally make cool LED wearable stuff.

                Jaa no jos .

                Olen kolmekymppinen kirjastotäti Päijät-Hämeessä. Ammatillisesti oon erikoistunut lasten ja nuorten kirjastotyöhön, erityisesti kokoelmiin, mutta kokemusta ja kiinnostusta on pelikasvatuksesta sanataideohjaukseen ja kirjastojärjestelmiin - tällä hetkellä ootan kiihkeästi oman kirjaston siirtymistä Kohaan.

                Luen yllättävän vähän, mutta tiedän kirjoista paljon niitä lukematta (sekin on taito). Kun luen, se on yleensä fantasiaa tai sarjakuvaa, niin mangaa kuin länsimaista.

                Pelaan. Paljon. Kaikkea pöytäroolipeleistä lautapeleihin, videopelejä PCllä ja konsoleilla, mätkyä (MtG), mobiilipelejä. Tykkään tutustuttaa ihmisiä pöytäroolipelaamiseen ja videopelaamisen rikkauteen. Olen semmoinen itseoppinut perusnörtti, joka osaa kasata oman tietokoneen ja koodata vähän ja kaivaa uusista ohjelmista aina jokaisen advanced settings -valikon läpi ensimmäiseksi.

                Minulla on aikuisena diagnosoitu , joka selittää niin paljon elämästäni ja itsestäni. Sen myötävaikutuksena minulla on myös masennus. Puhun ja aion puhua molemmista yhtä avoimesti ja häpeilemättä kuin siitä, että minulla on sydänvika - hittoon neuro- ja mielen sairauksien häpeily.

                Olen myös umpivasemmistolainen, ei-kristitty, biseksuaali, polyamorinen ja juuri oikealla korkeudella iskeäkseni kyynärpään jokaisen lyhyydestäni vitsailevan palleaan. Kompensoin pituutta äänekkäällä persoonalla ja minulla on mielipide kaikkeen - osaan tosin myös pitää ne omana tietonani, ainakin joskus.

                              I never did get around to writing an over here, did I? Not sure there's much point anymore, but here goes:

                              I'm rainey and I'm a shy weirdo who needs encouragement to let my freak flag fly. When I'm not being ooky, I'm shamelessly appreciating cute kittens and the like. (Here I pause and reach out to pet @netkitty ) Gen X, child-free, married, and an abject failure at adulting. The sunflower in my display name is the "invisible disability" symbol.

                              This is my third Mastodon account and second "definitely probably not a cult" experience (the first being pretty much the only reason I'm still on reddit). My first Masto account is @raineyday@mstdn.games [MSTDN.games] where I talk about a lot, and my second is @raineyday@neurodifferent.me [NeuroDifferent.me] because I'm not autistic but I do have and , although I don't post to the second one very often and when I do, it tends to be boosts, memes, and information-seeking.

                              Anyhow, if you can't tell from my avatars, I'm a fan of the and . I also despise with the blazing heat of a trillion trillion suns, so always ask "How caught up are you with XYZ?" before discussing with me (and ponder for a moment why "Have you gotten to the part where they--?" is a terrible horrible no-good very bad way to ask).

                              I created this account on a Wednesday the 13th (naturally), but the timestamp on my account page got messed up and fails to reflect this. It's goth erasure, I'm tellin' ya! 🦇

                              I write blog-like toots on Wednesdays (of course) under the hashtag and tag @weirdfolks

                              I do my best to write good for my images. Even when I have low spoons, I strive for a bare minimum of "acceptable". I have similar standards for what I will boost. If there is no alt-text or it is insufficient, I will either leave it or I will "steal" the image to post myself with better alt-text. This applies to all of my accounts, of course.

                              I come to Mastodon for virtual human interaction and fun times, and while it's nice to take a break from politics and the news, please don't mistake that for me being so-called "apolitical". I am quite progressive-left and often wonder how it came to be that I had to trade in the label of "liberal" for that. Perhaps a combination of I moved forward a little bit and they moved backwards a lot? But that's enough of that topic. This is just background info, not my desired focus.

                                I am also very -positive because it helps me with every day life. With my brain disorders, I don't think the same way others do, so AI helps me with describing things accurately and to make sure I get my point across in the way I mean to. I also tend to post from time to time to realize my creativity.

                                I'm a that primarily plays PC games or games that are Cross Platform. Generally I enjoy , and such where I can just "zone out" and vibe without much stress.

                                Sometimes you'll see me discuss news as well.

                                If these seem to be within your interests, feel free to follow and if you have similar interests laid out in your bio, chances are good that ill follow back.

                                I've been here for a year and this is, by far, my favorite social media platform I've ever been on.

                                  In case you're wondering: my bio is an experiment in data poisoning against LLMs tasked with scraping social media profiles, and I would like to thank @alice for that idea because it wasn't my own.

                                  Also, not that you were wondering, and not that I even know the character limit for bios on this server offhand for that matter, but however many characters that is, that's exactly how many mine is. If there's one thing I'm really good at, it's matching character limits exactly, and that is why I stopped using Tinder. Don't ask.

                                  If you're reading this and I'm following you, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you're awesome. If you're reading this and I'm not following you, I probably should be, and I'll assume you're awesome unless and until you show me otherwise.

                                    I'm single and childless, hence my user tag: TheLastOfHisName.

                                            An image that humorously captures the experience of people with ADHD. On the left, there’s a door labeled “Mastering one subject,” with no line in front of it. On the right, there’s another door labeled “Knowing small amounts of info about any and all subjects because our curious brain can’t just focus on one thing,” which has a massive crowd of people waiting to enter.

The text “People with ADHD” summarizes the overwhelming tendency for individuals with ADHD to scatter their focus across numerous topics instead of concentrating on mastering a single subject. The imagery cleverly emphasizes the relatable experience of curiosity and diverse interests among those with ADHD.

                                                I'm a 19 year old (he/they) and who's primary interest is and . I'm a with and (along with a few other things) who really just wants to make friends and help the world be a better place :3

                                                I don't boost or post nsfw often, but when I do it's behind a cw. Similarly, don't expect me to reply to nsfw content very often even if I may like or react to it (sorry nsfw artists, nothing personal!)

                                                If you post anything about , , or anything related to those, I'd love to follow :3

                                                I hope you have a wonderful day! Boosts are appreciated since I lost a lot of the people who followed me when I migrated here (and vice versa)!

                                                        A meme that uses humor to highlight the experience of receiving a late diagnosis of ADHD. The text at the top reads, “Receiving a late diagnosis of ADHD in life,” paired with an image of a young girl in sunglasses looking serious, symbolizing a mix of enlightenment and irony.

A speech bubble with the words “Wait, what?” humorously captures the disbelief or surprise that often accompanies such revelations. The text at the bottom, attributed to “a qualified healthcare professional,” states, “It’s a harsh world,” adding a comedic twist. A can of Red Bull in the corner subtly ties into the energy and focus theme often associated with ADHD.

The top caption reads, “My neighbors watching me leave my house and come back 3 times in 10 mins,” while the bottom caption simply states “[visible confusion].”

Obi-Wan’s confused expression adds comedic emphasis to the awkwardness of someone repeatedly leaving and re-entering their home within a short time span, as if creating bewilderment for any onlookers. The use of the phrase “[visible confusion]” is a popular internet meme template, adding a sarcastic layer to the humor.

On the left, under the label “non-ADHD brain,” there’s a simple, clear image of a tiger. This represents the straightforward focus of a non-ADHD individual, where the task is completed without additional distractions.

On the right, under the label “ADHDer,” a chaotic collage of overlapping images and text surrounds the idea of a tiger. These include “Tiger’s Eye Crystals,” the Eye of the Tiger album cover, “Is a liger a real animal?,” Tiger Beat magazine covers, a San Diego Zoo reference, a White Noise label, and an image of Beyoncé’s Single Ladies dance.

This side humorously depicts how an ADHD brain leaps between tangentially related thoughts, associations, and distractions, creating a whirlwind of ideas instead of a singular focus. The visual chaos emphasizes the difficulty of staying on task for someone with ADHD.

In the first panel, a man is intently reading a book labeled “The Nature of Reality,” implying he is engaging in deep, philosophical or intellectual thought.

In the second panel, the text humorously shifts focus to a sobering reality: “By tomorrow you will forget 40% of what you experienced today,” reflecting challenges with memory retention, a common experience for people with ADHD.

In the third panel, the man looks up with a serious yet resigned expression, accompanied by the text: “Beings living with ADHD,” acknowledging the relatable frustration and humor in such experiences.

The meme uses lighthearted irony to capture the disconnect between intellectual curiosity and practical cognitive struggles often faced by those with ADHD.

In the first panel, a frog expresses their intention to take care of a small task, while the turtle listens.

The turtle, in the second panel, responds sarcastically, questioning why the frog would handle the task immediately when there’s a more “appealing” option.

The third panel reveals the turtle’s suggestion: to avoid the task entirely, allowing it to weigh on the frog’s mind and ruin their mood every day.

In the fourth panel, the frog enthusiastically agrees, sarcastically affirming that the alternative sounds much better.

The comic effectively captures the paradox of procrastination: the avoidance of minor tasks often leads to significant emotional distress.

In the first panel, a frog expresses their intention to take care of a small task, while the turtle listens. The turtle, in the second panel, responds sarcastically, questioning why the frog would handle the task immediately when there’s a more “appealing” option.

The top panel shows SpongeBob multitasking energetically, holding various items, symbolizing a sudden burst of motivation that drives ADHD individuals to enthusiastically take on numerous projects at once.

The bottom panel contrasts this by depicting chaos, with SpongeBob clones running around as everything is on fire, representing the aftermath when the initial enthusiasm fades, leaving tasks incomplete and overwhelming messes behind.

The text on the image reads: “WHEN MY ADHD MIND RECOGNISES SOMEONE WHO ACTS THE SAME WAY.” It humorously highlights the relatable feeling of recognizing similar ADHD behaviors in others, evoking a moment of shared understanding.

The caption, "People with ADHD an hour after they said they were on their way," paired with an image of someone casually sitting completely naked with their legs crossed, represents the ADHD tendency to get distracted or procrastinate even after intending to leave or complete a task. This is a relatable depiction of time blindness, where an individual with ADHD can lose track of time despite their best intentions, often leading to unexpected delays.

The distracted boyfriend, labeled “ME,” represents the person with ADHD, while the girlfriend on the right, labeled “The reason I opened my phone,” signifies their initial intention or task. The woman walking by on the left, labeled “Literally anything else on my phone,” represents the various distractions that capture the ADHD person’s attention instead.

This meme humorously captures the ADHD struggle of trying to stay focused but being easily sidetracked by more stimulating or unrelated activities.

It shows a simple stick figure with arrows connecting four stages:

"I meet someone"
"We talk"
"I reply to their texts after 3 seconds"
"They leave"

The stick figure in the center appears happy and eager, representing how some people, despite being responsive and engaged in conversation, may still struggle with maintaining longer-term social connections. The message reflects the confusion and frustration of trying hard in social interactions but still facing challenges when others seem to drift away despite immediate engagement.
