I want to try so many little hobbies. Candle making, soap making, basket weaving, wood carving, book binding, baking, weaving, I want to try them all.

I almost made a post about this the other day (unless i actually did and totally forgot) but there’s so many

I was going to make a list, but then i realized this is a good time to share this book

Making Stuff and Doing things is a whole collection of old punk DIY zines about making and doing just about anything, even things you probably never knew you wanted to do.

Book binding? In there.

Making bowls from old vinyl records? I made a whole ton for my brother’s grad party last year.

Basics of guitar? Making rubber stamps? Silk screening? Composting? Homemade beer, root beer, and wine? Soymilk?? Quill pens??? All in there.

Since it’s more punk, it doesn’t have a ton of the folksy, cottage vibes/hobbies, but it’s all about being resourceful and sustainable, which they both have in common.

If i ever need to do anything I’m not sure of, I double check this book to see if there’s anything in there. It’s one of the only books on diy I’ve ever needed.

things I wish were emojis in no particular order:

  • lighthouse
  • dandelion seed puff
  • lily
  • jester/harlequin
  • dumpster (movable waste receptacle)
  • make the clown mask canon
  • make pensive cowboy canon
  • make cat_with_hearts canon and call it purring

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

  • Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.
  • Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation
  • Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.
  • Meditation
  • Martial arts
  • Sports in general
  • Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)
  • Woodworking
  • Cooking
  • If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

“If it hurts,” Liu Qingge says, slowly, working it out. Testing how the words feel in his mouth. “It’s not my pain. It’s just the body hurting.”  “The body giving a warning,” Shizun corrects. “You’ll have to listen to it sometimes. Permanent damage is always a pain to live with. But yes. You aren’t hurting. Your body is.”  He takes a breath. “That’s fine, then.” 

Limited color pallete challenge: whoever was in the discord vc edition
