Hello Fedifriends!

I have found a way to shut my brain up AND keep my hands busy: on Monday, I finally taught myself how to use a knitting loom. I've had one for a couple of years and never got around to it.

2 and a half questionable looking hats and the beginning of a seriously ugly scarf later, I'm loving it! I cannot remember when my brain was this silent without ADHD medication or not having slept for a very long time 😄

So anyway, greetings from a new, unexpectedly happy place / hyperfixation, I'm currently feeling peace and some good exhaustion, which is a welcome change from the last couple of months! 🤗

Good morning Fedifriends!

Question for a loved one in Minnesota: how do you stay informed without watching/listening to the horrors on the news? Are there ressources online or (maybe written?) news sources that are accurate and may be less traumatizing to a chronically ill, dopamine deficient, extremely empathetic person?

Hello Fedifriends!
Can anyone recommend an astronomy app?
There are many and I have many of them but I only want to invest in the "premium" service for one single app and I can't decide...
Stellarium mobile?
Sky tonight?
Star walk2?
A completely different one?

I want help recognizing what I see in the sky, data on specific stars and planets... But the AR description of Star walk 2 advanced features sound amazing too... Are they worth it?

@AncTreat5358

is it helpful to shake it off if you consider that capitalism is ableist af?

It's helpful to me to keep asking myself "who profits from these beliefs?". I live in Germany, I am constantly reminded of the devastating results of believing that some lives are worth more than others.
Sorry if this is a bit gloomy, it helps me get my head straight so I hope it's helpful to you too.

@AncTreat5358

I find it super difficult to judge, personally. Usually, when I start wondering about my contribution it's either the "capitalistic" way to see it (the "I do not contribute to making money so I'm worthless" type thing) or the "dark colored glasses" of my brain that is trying to convince me that my contribution is worthless but right now I can't think of an "objective" and healthy assessment that would land on "my contribution is not worth much/is worthless"...Is your thought process along those lines or is it something else altogether?

@AbyssCannonball

du bist viel weiser als ich 🙏🏼 😄

@AbyssCannonball

hast du trotzdem "Guten Morgen" gesagt oder "trotzdem Guten Morgen"? Letzteres fänd ich noch witziger! 😄😄
