Aliens are the least of our worries right now but listen to me. Aliens don’t want to hurt us but the government is gonna convince us they do and incite worldwide panic and start a real space war to avoid advancing technology for the general population because efficient non oil based energy that the aliens have will crush the capitalist industries that need it to thrive welcome to my ted talk

how to make consequence blindness your bitch—adhd hack
let's say you, a person with adhd, have to take a shower. a really simple task, technically, but also somehow impossible because your brain is acting like a little bratty baby and telling you that just getting there is "so much woooork".
it's exhausting. plus, fighting your brain only adds to the effort, which only makes it more exhausting and more likely to play video games and become grosser and grosser.
full stop. you're not getting anywhere. luckily, your brain is as dumb as it is loud and stubborn. you've probably been in a place before where you couldn't possibly recount how buying fresh vegetables and leaving fresh vegetables in the bottom of your fridge for six months led to moldy vegetables, or how not renewing netflix subscription led to no netflix—because surprise, surprise! adhd symptoms include consequence blindness.
now, executive dysfunction—as described earlier—is another adhd symptom: getting stuck when trying to start a task. rather than continuing to run against the dysfunction wall, compromise with your brain. you're not trying to take a shower after all, you're just pausing the game.
then compromise again. you're not taking a shower, just going to the bathroom. you're not taking a shower, just undressing and turning on the water and stepping in and—oh.
see how consequence blindness (if i do this, that can't possibly follow) leads to tricking executive dysfunction? you've broken down your task into baby steps and convinced your brain that each baby step will be the last one you have to take.
this works for other stuff too: you're not making a phone call, just putting in the number, then pressing the call button, then suddenly you're making a phone call with no clue how you got there /s
exploit your symptoms to help you with others—even if you're "supposed" to do something of your own will, what works works, so why not use it?
(and of course you don't have to have adhd to use this—if it works for you, go off, trick your toddler brain and have a good and functional day)

The meme literally said, This one sparks/does not spark joy," but I guess most people have more anger than common sense or reading comprehension, so...
Remember when marie kondo was, at a very base level, said "you'll probably be happier if you only own stuff you need and like, here are ways to do that in a spiritually fulfilling way" and white people were just like "so you want me to throw away my grandfathers ashes? Fuck you I'm going to live in filth and impulse buy till I go bankrupt just to spite you!!!"

@cappurrccino gonna need to see the fashionframe in this story
Corpus Siege
Invasions must be pretty weird from the ally perspective, huh?
(~2300 words)
~
“Deri. Hey! Hey, Deri!”
You sigh, open your eyes and glare at the two intruding crewmen from across your drink. This is the only break you’ll be getting today and you really didn’t want to spend it talking to two people you don’t know.
“What?” you snap. You’re not sure if you outrank them or if they outrank you or if that even matters right now. It probably does.
The one who called your name doesn’t seem to care. They ignore your tone and pull up a chair, kicking the other empty one out for their companion. You scowl at them and they ignore that too.
“You were at that Grineer base, right? The one where the Tenno showed up?”
The other crewman rolls their eyes. “For fucks sake, I told you no one’s ever seen one of those things and lived to tell the fuckin’ tale. And Corp’s certainly never hired one .”

Reblogging for usefulness

Pixabay - same as unsplash
Pexels - stock photos and videos
Stockvault.net - stock photos
Veceezy - vectors and clipart
Getdrawings - simplistic images and drawing tutorials
Gumroad - photoshop brushes (and more)
Canva - needs login but has lots of templates
Library of Congress - historical posters and photos
NASA - you guessed it
Creative Commons - all kinds of stuff, homie
Even Adobe has some free images
There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without infringing copyright! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own. 
Please add on if you know any more sites for free images <3

I post a lot of Steve Dodd’s work which he has been generously sharing with me over the last few years. Much of it has never been seen. This article from Future Life magazine (Starlog’s sister magazine) 25 March 1981 provides a good introduction to the young Steve Dodd and his hopes and aspirations.
