adhd culture is using stream of consciousness writing to get a better grip on your thoughts. yeah this is an advice post in disguise.

stream of consciousness is when you just sit down with a pen & paper (or screen and keyboard) and just Write Whatever Comes To Mind. the goal is to never stop writing. if you’re trying to brainstorm something, this will help your hyperactive brain to hone in its hyperactivity into the purpose that you want.

adhd culture is trying that out maybe

Hot take:

Goku is gullible and polite enough to let Kirby pick the challenge to compete in. Meaning that Kirby would say something like “sammich stackie” and Goku would respond with “how tall of a sandwich you can make? I’m up for it, Kirby!” and there wouldn’t be any typical shounen violence, just a himbo with spiky hair trying to surpass a Pink space-hobbit in making really tall sandwiches. that being said:

#Poll #kirby #Goku #Power scaling doesn’t matter here as much as stamina #And creativity #Shaggy #Arven specializes in sub sandwiches so he’s disqualified #SpongeBob does krabby Patties and they’re burgers so not him #Cheese Sandwich has hooves and he’s too much of a professional to be allowed to compete

Instead of simply accepting the fact I’m not able to write or draw everything that’s on my mind, because I’m not skilled enough or eloquent enough or persistent enough and other people have already done it better anyway, I get fixated on it and the tiny rational part of my brain is just facepalming at the rest of it...

I am midway through rereading a chapter that casts serious doubt on the scientific validity of positive psychology.

So, in 2009 Barbara Ehrehreich published the book “Bright Sided: How the Restless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America” and I read it back then and nodded and stuck it on a shelf. Found it again when rearranging everything. Stuck it by my bedside pile of books (my “night stand” is a half-height bookcase that wraps around two walls of the bedroom 📚🥰).

Was reading the NYT earlier today (often a bad idea but, anyhow) and there was an overly long shitshow of a piece with god awful survey questions (instrument design? What instrument? What design?) that supposedly diagnose whether you are an optimist (good) or a pessimist (bad).

Thankfully the reader comments skewered the entire thing but then I looked back and realized, wait, this is based on Segilman’s work (the infamous dog torture psych “experiment” on learned helplessness) and didn’t Bright-Sided dedicate an entire chapter to not just debunking his work but to showing what a manipulative asshole he is and showing how the entire launch of and turn to positivity/happiness psychology during the 00s (which is due to Seligman) is not just based on extremely faulty “science” but is heavily intertwined with a lot of money, with financially changes in US healthcare that threatened to dump talk therapy into the dust bin, and with a religious institute.

Anyhow, I need to do other things but I really want to finish rereading this chapter bc Hooboy, all of this is relevant to Things I Have on My Mind.

#oddly this ties in with the arts #and creativity #but also so much of what is wrong with academia for the past 20-30 years

That UT comic I just rebloged? Alive?

Yeah, it's incredible.

I'm still at part 15 but I'm amazed.

Go read it if you don't mind angst/violence!

My favorite concept is listening to music and imagining a fantastic animatic and do nothing about it

it’s so messed up that trainees give up years of their childhood working so hard to debut, and then nowadays companies give up after a year if they don’t achieve instant success? you should’ve never debuted groups in the first place then…

#I know these smaller agencies want to achieve stáyc 2.0 or loooona 2.0 but like that’s gonna take some work #even though staŷc were lucky and went viral with their first comeback the famous (and clearly better . lmao) producer was putting their a #game into the group and promoting them hard? #ryan jhun just gave them two title track promotions spread out over a year #the second did sell very poorly but considering the first did well clearly there was an audience ?? #and if companies want to achieve looona 2.0 besides the fact that I don’t think it possible that requires tiiime #and creativity #did bbc abandon group plans when vivid sold like 700 copies and 1/3 could only afford like two music show attendances? #no but hot issue disbanded after a year. they did seem to have resources #two lghtsm members were cut after 14 months #bgaboo debuted 13 months ago #do they really expect mega fandoms to appear within less than a year from nothing ?? #even billllie which had a viral moment didn’t build up a mega fandom yet and they even have sm entertainment connections #this was a vanity project for ryan jhun I guess and when it got slightly too inconvenient for him he abandoned them #the industry has sped up and the over saturation especially among girl groups is through the roof #i think the reason smaller bgs last slightly longer is bc companiesb don’t expect the instant vitality #*virality girl groups can get from them #so those super suspicious small companies might not risk debuting boys at all #and if they do they’re aware it’s a higher input project I guess…:/ #but that didn’t stop rain from abandoning ciiiipher just like that bc they were an inconvenience to him

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

I don't think many people realize how much they've been turned into a bunch of casually cynical jerks.

Someone may come to their parents and say "I want to write a book" and their parents will say "it's really hard to get published".

Someone might confide in their sibling and say "I want to sell my art on "x" platform" and that sibling will say "do you know how many people you'd be competing with? Do you know how many shops are even on that platform?"

I know a kid who once told his best friend "I think I wanna start a dnd podcast" and the friend was like "do you know what the word "oversaturation" means?"

Personally, I don't know why any of that matters? And even if it did, perhaps your response should be "Do it! Do it and see where it goes!"
