Just got a chatgpt ad where the use case was "can't decide a new years resolution". I can't think of anything more sad than needing a robot to tell you what your own ambitions are. Loser shit.

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

but have you ever even heard of the fynbos biome ?!!?!?!?!

a biome so unique in south africa that it's earned an entirely new biome classification for itself. so many plants are endemic to this area, and ofc it's under threat of extinction.

It's a wonderful place! I had the privilege of visiting the fynbos last year and it was as amazing as these photos show and more!

Scrivener 3 – a neurodivergence-friendly tutorial series (Masterlist)

If you find my Scrivener stuff useful, please consider supporting me via KoFi! This allows me to make more and keep it available for everyone. I love sharing my stuff freely and don't want to paywall anything, but I also have to eat – every contribution helps and is greatly appreciated!

This is the Masterlist for my (Zaharya's) ADHD-friendly Scrivener 3 tutorial series. It will be continuously updated, i.e. future tutorials will be added here! New tutorials are not guaranteed to be linked/mentioned in previous tutorial posts. Make sure to check here if you're looking for something new! If you cannot find what you're looking for, feel free to send an ask, or message me either on Tumblr or Discord.

Important note:
All my tutorials are based on Scrivener for MacOS! Though minor, there are some differences between Scrivener 3 for Windows vs for MacOS, so you may notice a few small discrepancies if you use Scrivener with Windows. There are some tutorials that specifically aim to work around these differences!
Further, all tutorials are based on my own personal workflow, and all screenshots are from my personal files, so please don't distribute those elsewhere. My workflow is not universal (duh), and if you use certain features differently that doesn't mean one of us is doing it wrong. You do you!
Lastly, the Main Tutorial originated on Discord (with an escalated impromptu explanation for @tackytigerfic – everyone say thank you Tacky), which is probably noticeable in how it's written – I am not changing that, since many people have insisted that this was exactly what made it easier to follow than the official Scrivener tutorial.

I am not affiliated with Scrivener!
(Though if you ask me, I bloody well should be, I'd deserve that commission.)

Correction! I do have an affiliate link now — if you haven't bought Scrivener yet (or are showing it to a friend who hasn't), you can help me out by using this link to buy it! I'll get a tiny commission from that, and it costs you nothing.

exiting a uquiz halfway through when it becomes clear the creator's narrow and immature world view and cultural knowledge leaves them totally unequipped to tell me which peanuts character i am with any degree of accuracy or insight

More Jud cause I am obsessed. It is always Impressive to me when the main character is my favorite character, because that doesn’t happen often.

Also, not catholic, but I am pretty sure I got the rosary correct? Five sets of ten and three beads connecting to the cross

Road to Damascus

LOVED this movie. I am not immune to sexy washed up priest.

instagram is nothing to me

You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still
