Добавлен 4 май 2012
I'm a neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ artist and content creator. My videos feature cross stitching tutorials, me nerding out about the books I've been reading, and re-plays of our Twitch LiveStreams.
Bookopoly Book Club (Now on Fable)
We talk about turning a Bookopoly board into a gift for your book club, and I realize this could be a really cool idea for how to run a book club. So we did it! We have a Bookopoly Book Club on Fable! Come join us! (Link below)
The original idea for Bookopoly/Bookoplathon came from @BeccaandTheBooks - please go check out her channel and her stuff! She's awesome and hosts a month-long Bookopoly/Bookoplathon challenge each year. I just decided to do it for the entire 2024 year.

Neurospicy people just understand energy economics better Showering is now the price of eggs Changing is the cost of gas Work/school is your rent/mortgage Heating up leftovers is tap water 😂 also I think this helps explain why we may conserve energy for our absolute necessary tasks
They could be talking about your flight from another country into the us. Different countries airport security have different standards
I love this. For almost two years I had an all access wristband for taking walks and getting exercise. Last December the park stopped honoring it and now I beat myself up every day because I have to choose between taking care of my body and maintaining a tidy environment. This is way better than spoons theory for me. Thank you.
I'm so glad this resonates with you! Having to decide between taking care of ourselves or our environment is often the hardest decision (and I hate to say I put myself on the back burner far more often than I'd like to admit). I have a partner who sometimes comes in and asks why I went and reorganized the bookshelf instead of doing dishes, and this was a way for me to be able to communicate that my brain/body combo for the day said that this was the task that was accomplishable. *shrug*
@@chaoskittensandcrafting ADHD and CPTSD definitely limit my ability to do things, but spoons theory wasn't adequate, because it's not that I run out of energy - it's that a combination of focus and anxiety frequently drastically restricts what my seemingly limitless energy can be used for. Did I get the laundry done? No. Did I stay up all night alternating between teaching myself how to play Handlebars on the ukulele and reorganizing the linen closet? Yes. 😋
I like these analogies/metaphors for neurodivergent or chronically ill people to put into words what life is like for us. But I don't think the metaphor - spoon or ticket or whatever - is what confuses other people. I think they just can't imagine how a person's energy can work like this, because their bodies/brains are so different.
Yea, it is hard when we are trying to explain to other people who have such a different experience than us. But having these analogies and metaphors are a step toward bridging the gap and helping them learn to see things through other peoples' lived experiences.
I don't like the look of projects framed into hoops. Is there any reason for me to have more than an inch or two on the edges?
It depends on how you decide to finish off your piece. If it's going in a frame, you're going to want to leave enough to wrap around the edges of the backing board still. But that also is going to be affected by how much fabric is showing around the edge between where the stitching ends and the frame begins. All of it is personal preference mixed with the supplies you're using and the size and shape of your piece.
Oh no way, I found one of those shiny
THE TALE OF THE WHITE DOE?!?!?! ROANOKE (idk if that’s the place) WE FOUND HER!!!!!
SHINYYYY
But it didn’t sparkle! Oh waitttt they’re not in hisui so that makes sense
thats a reginol for of zebstrika
Ma'am your priorities are straight and you are correct
I thought it was a shiny sawsbug

Can you post a link to Robbins video about spell slot Theory please

@chaoskittensandcrafting thanks!
I found my side of RUclips ! 😂
Clearly, you need to use a dusk ball since when you look outside in this video it is dusk and when it’s dusk and use a dusk ball, it has a four times catch rate
I don't think showering costs no tickets, it's more like a mental battle but that's still the energy that you think you need a lot of to you to do any of the tasks.
I agree. Showering is never a no-ticket activity for me personally, but I know other people who disagree because they struggle with different things than I do.
Do you only stitch at your gate, or do you stitch on the plane as well? I’m afraid my repetitive arm movements will bother people around me if I stitch on the plane.
I do stitch on the plane, but I make sure I use smaller lengths of thread if people are sitting next to me on that side that is pulling the thread through.
will the tsa take ur needles because it’s sharp
I usually travel with a small sewing kit for emergencies and I’ve never had an issue.
Nope! TSA allows for sewing kits, and also allows for scissors (provided the length from the joint to the tip is less than 4").
No youve got it all wrong. That thing is much too big to be a deerling. It is a wyrdeer that lost its antlers in battle. I recommend catching it and taking it to a poke center
Great analogy
Neurospicy haha imma use that
yes omg yes
Excellent analogy that ticket theory!
Quick ball on a shiny deerling??? No no you gotta use a ball that matches the color of the shiny
LET PEOPLE USE THE BALL THEY WAAAANNNTTT
@@markbrown4984 it's a joke lol I don't care what you use a shiny is a shiny
@@mysterious_flame yeah i know it's just a very heavy topic for me as it's my favourite pokeball And if you make a joke you should probably put quotation marks to show that you're not serious about it :j
I like this analogy, but I'd keep the tickets unrestricted and adjust the costs of the rides, instead. So each morning I wake up with a certain number of tickets, rock up to the carnival, and check out the cost of the rides that day. Yesterday showering was 4 tickets, but today it's 9 tickets - well, that's not getting done today. Laundry is only 3 tickets, so that's probably do-able, but "organise the bookshelf" is on special for only 1 ticket today! Usually it's 13, so I better make use of that special today, because who the heck knows when it will appear again - and if I wait until tomorrow to try and do it, it will undoubtedly be back to full price again.
I do think that that version of the analogy better for some people. I use this version because for me, I don't get a certain number of tickets. It is much more specific for me, personally. But if that works for you, use it! Any way we can explain how things work for us to other people is important and useful!
I realized a few months back that a magic system I've used in my homebrew RPG was a good analogy system. spells have a Difficulty number (D#) casters have a Stat for Spell Skill. to cast a spell, your spell skill MUST equal or exceed the D#. you can pay 1 mana to add your Spell skill to itself, as many times as you need in order to cast the spell. so if you go to cast a D#4 spell, and your SS is 1, it costs 3 mana to cast it, while if it's 2 or 3 it only costs 1, and if it's a 4, it costs no mana at all! some days i wake up with high spell skill but low mana, while other days it can be the reverse, or something different altogether, like mana that's only good for bookshelf rearranging 😂
I use an energy level diagram from kinetics and chemistry because even if i have the energy for the task, that activation barrier is often my biggest block. On a good day i can use a 'catalyst' or some other 'rate enhancement' to give myself enough momentum to get over or lower the activation barrier, but other times its too daunting and ill take a long time to do it or not find myself able to. Other times its both the activation energy AND the fact the reaction is endergonic ie i have to put additional energy into the system to get myself to do it. Like going on a walk will give me more energy for the rest of the day, but i need a baseline to get myself up, dressed, willing to go on a walk for no other reason than to go on a walk. That stuff is the activation energy, and the reaction is overall exergonic because any form of exercise puts me in a better state later on. On the other hand something like cooking, takes away energy, even if i enjoy it, so i need a certain baseline PLUS additional energy depending on the meal. Putting it this way also helps me explain why ill get stuck after preparing to do a task when ive set everything up for it but still cannot get myself to do it
I just came up with Uno Solitaire Theory. You just turn over the card and follow the instructions. Sometimes it says "Drive to Get Groceries". Sometimes it says, "Repeat Most Recent Task Free." Sometimes it says, "Any Task for 5 Minutes, then Draw Another Card." "No More Cards Until 5 Minute Nap. No Alarm Allowed." "Two Free Cards With Coffee Purchase."
I always hated how childish spoons sounded but I never had a choice to explain it otherwise because the only thing I know everyone will instantly understand is the spoons one.
My problem with the spoon theory is that a lot of people just didn't understand that the spoons were standing in for energy consumption, or they would be very flippant and say "well just wash the spoons, then." It's sometimes hard to know if they genuinely don't understand, or they're being deliberately obtuse. This analogy takes some of that power away, in my opinion.
Am I the only one who immediately felt exhausted and overwhelmed at the very mention of a carnival…? 😅😆
Fairs and carnivals are basically my nightmare.
It feels like looking at a drugstore sales ad to me "ok, this week vitamins, hair care, sympathy cards, and skin care products are on sale!" but next week it might be candy, toilet paper, reading glasses, and stationary or something. If you have a membership card you always get 10% off on prescriptions and store brand products and occasionally you have a coupon for 50% off one item.
Oh my god, I 100% independently came up with this exact variant a few weeks ago. Like, frighteningly, exactly the same. I even floated it by my brothers. (I also am neurospicy and have blue hair obvs)
Love it!!
First she has to lower he's hp
The quick ball is a 7* catch rate on the first turn so it’s best to throw one first especially if the pokemon has the ability to run
@@aswno-f5vplusif the deerling is low level and your party is high level it could be difficult to damage it without killing it
Got one shotted by a body slam*
The all access band for neurotypicals isn't a bad analogy but it's not quite right either it's still cost them energy to do certain tasks because some time it costs some energy it costs him whatever resource same as even even for neuros spicy even if it's a shower ax you know shower band day it still takes time it still takes energy it still takes resources and etc I like the idea of credits but variable cost credits neurotypicals the cost for an action is the same everyday or nearly so they can have bad days too but there's consistency and cost for neuro spicy we've got to roll the dice or whatever RNG that you want to use for the day for how much the cost is and it is per time we attempt the task because all of the conditions could be correct that accessing the shower is the lowest cost to us when we go to access it but if we need a second shower later because it's been a long hard day and everything that we did in the first shower isn't covering with the second shower needs to cover at that point the cost for getting onto that ride could be max energy level and they're just isn't enough in the reserves at all
For sure! But she did say "while the carnival is open" so that could mean until you're ready to pack up for the night and go home (settle down and rest) I hear NTs say "well, I just always do X every day and I don't really have to think about it" and maybe if they hate their job and get exhausted there they just say "but I still get up and go in every day, no excuses" because they don't exactly understand being literally paralyzed by anxiety and indecisiveness. When they don't believe me that thoughts can do that to you, I just ask if they could will themselves to touch a hot stove burner or a candle flame. Their brain will be like "nooooo! You shouldn't!"
I saw a skit and ChatGPT blew up at someone and said "I'm running out of tokens for your bullshit!" Im using that from now on. Lol
Great analogy. It helps explain a lot. Thank you!
This is helpful! I feel like it’s a simplified reminder to check in and validation at the same time Also I keep forgetting the word neurospicy exists and it makes me so happy every time 🥰
I love this explanation. I have Epilepsy. Depending on my seizures, my medication changes, my sleep schedules, etc, I have no control over what my days look like. This completely aligns for my life.
I also have epilepsy, but don't talk about it a lot. You're absolutely right that medication (both seizure and ADHD), sleep, and a bunch more other factors all have huge impacts on my days and what I can accomplish.
Thank you. That is helpful 😊
This is the first time I've seen your channel, so I have no idea of anything that's come before. You talked about watching her video, but you don't provide a link, and I don't know who she is. As a neurodivergent person this is a problem for me.
I apologize - this is a video that was previously posted over on TikTok. I didn't realize it didn't link over to her video. Here is the link: www.tiktok.com/@robinrambles/video/7295568139004267818 Please note that we are both US based content creators, and with the TikTok ban looming on Sunday, this might be your only chance to see her original video before it's gone.
Coincidentally recently had to explain spoon theory to my "definitely neurotypical" Mom and she pucked it up straight away 😂
My "definitely neurotypical" dad: So, how does ADHD affect you? Me: *explains in detail a large number of ways ADHD negatively impacts my life* My "definitely not ADHD" dad: Everyone's like that. Everyone has to deal with those things. Me: Everyone who, exactly? My dad: Literally everyone in my family has always those experiences. Me: ... you know ADHD is genetic, right?
I'll see you on the Dark side of the Spoon Theory.
It was a good analogy. Not a fan of neurospicy.
I’m neurospicy and a spoonie, and this analogy really helped me understand why I can reorganize the pantry but not do my laundry. This made so much sense!

Honestly this makes more sense than spoon theory and I'm going to run with it to the fair and back.
I don't do cross stitch but that was very helpful. Thank you. I will subscribe so I can see some of your other art, I would love to pick up this medium.
If you're interested in learning cross stitch, I do have a whole series of tutorial videos (pulled from TikTok - that's where I started). I am also going to be remaking them for the RUclips format.
i love finding people with aphantasia. i've known something was "wrong" with me since elementary school, but it never got a name until 10 years ago when my husband had a heart attack. there was a poster on the wall in his occupational therapy for aphasia, and i have that during migraines. so i went home to google it, and mistakenly google aphantasia and wow! i'm not the only weird one!!! i have ZERO mental imagery unless i'm channeling a message (i read tarot) and i can randomly see something. it's jarring since i never can any time else. i'm also a graphic designer which my husband finds amusing. he also finds it amusing to send me into the attic to help him with electrical projects because i get lost up there because i cannot visualize the layout of the house...
