I've noticed something...

There doesn’t seem to be any lists of ADHD studyblrs out there, and I’ve had some people ask me if I know of any. So I’ve decided to create a list of all ADHD studyblrs! Along with a list of blogs that are help and give advice on coping with ADHD. This list is just the ones I know of, so if you have one and are not on this list please reblog it with your studyblr!

ADHD STUDYBLRS: @adhdstudying @adhdstudy @adhdstudyblr @adhdscholar @studyadhd @adhdstudytips @finally-a-realistic-studyblr (me!!)

ADHD BLOGS: @actuallyadhd @adultadhdlifehacks @attentiondeficithyperactivedude @hey-look-a-squirrel @lifewithadhd @mentalillnessmouse (not ADHD specific but still a good resource to find help for coping with ADHD) @adhd-community @adhighdefinition @adhd-is

Again I’m sure there are way more blogs than the ones I listed, so if you have one please reblog this!!

an old 3-4 hr study + filters

march 2021

Me when I’m studying but literally not retaining anything (at least I look cute doing it)

I was originally doing a drawing study on Jamie Hewlett’s work but then it just culminated into that theory that I had. (in which I now know my mistakes with their location and the mistake of the photo) I’m still very new to the fandom so  please bear with me! 

Chuck Jones Study 🖊

(Also just a quick note, thanks you all for 100+ followers!) 

Why did someone send me this and claim it was proof women’s rights were under attack?

Yeah women aren’t the only caregiver and often due to socialization they push males out of parenting roles and often undermine males in these situations.

It’s actually part of the whole “women have historically been the child raisers” narrative. As a society women see themselves as the only ones who know how to raise kids and we even specifically use women as symbols of good parents despite men being statistically just as good at parenting.

You aren’t being attacked by this and if you see this as an attack you are a brainwashed idiot who thinks women’s only role is a walking womb who is meant to push out spawn and then raise them while the rock person you are married too go and dies in a war or something.

Toxic moms vs Good Fathers

The Crucial Role of Fathers in Child Development and Overcoming Maternal Gatekeeping

As a psychotherapist, I've observed firsthand how deeply impactful a father's role is in a child's emotional, psychological, and behavioral development. Current research underscores the importance of paternal involvement, highlighting the structured, authoritative approach fathers commonly adopt, characterized by clear expectations, discipline, and consistent guidance. These aspects of fatherhood foster independence, emotional resilience, and social competence in children (Frontiers in Psychology, 2022).

Why Fathers are Essential

Fathers uniquely contribute to children's growth through structured play and consistent discipline, significantly influencing children's emotional regulation, academic performance, and social interactions. Research shows that children with engaged fathers exhibit improved cognitive development, better behavioral outcomes, and enhanced emotional stability. Conversely, the absence of a father correlates strongly with increased risks for mood disorders, behavioral problems, and difficulties with emotional regulation (PMC, 2023).

Understanding Toxic Maternal Gatekeeping

While mothers often excel at nurturing, some behaviors, especially maternal gatekeeping, can inadvertently hinder a father's involvement. Maternal gatekeeping refers to behaviors where a mother may limit or restrict the father's access to the child, often through criticism, control, or undermining his parenting efforts. This behavior frequently stems from unresolved attachment issues, emotional insecurity, or distrust, particularly among mothers who themselves lacked a father figure in their upbringing (PMC, 2016).

Maternal gatekeeping not only undermines paternal engagement but can perpetuate generational cycles of absenteeism. Women raised without fathers are more likely to experience similar patterns in their own families, leading to ongoing familial dysfunction and emotional instability (Fatherhood.org, 2023).

Economic and Emotional Challenges in Father-Absent Households

Families without an actively involved father, particularly single-mother households, commonly experience economic hardships, increased stress, and limited social support. These stressors can negatively impact children's psychological and emotional well-being, highlighting the need for paternal presence to provide stability and structure. In contrast, single-father households typically report higher incomes and better resource accessibility, underscoring the socio-economic advantages of paternal involvement (Pew Research Center, 2013).

Strategies for Overcoming Maternal Gatekeeping

Fathers facing toxic maternal gatekeeping can employ several effective strategies:

Open Communication: Initiate respectful, non-confrontational discussions focused on the child's best interests.

Clearly Defined Roles: Establish written agreements outlining parental responsibilities and visitation.

Legal Support: Consult legal professionals early and document interactions meticulously.

Mediation and Therapy: Engage in mediation or family counseling to facilitate healthy co-parenting communication.

Parenting Education: Participate in parenting workshops to strengthen parenting skills and demonstrate commitment.

Child-Centric Approach: Prioritize the child's emotional health and consistently avoid negative speech about the other parent.

Strong Emotional Connections: Maximize quality time to build trust and strengthen bonds with the child.

Professional Support: Utilize individual and child-focused counseling to navigate emotional challenges and familial tensions.

Conclusion

As a psychotherapist, I've witnessed the transformative impact that involved fathers can have on their children's lives. Addressing and overcoming maternal gatekeeping behaviors is critical for fostering healthier family environments. By advocating for structured paternal involvement, supporting co-parenting strategies, and understanding the root causes of gatekeeping, we can significantly improve children's developmental outcomes, ensuring emotional, social, and psychological health for generations to come.

coffee break || i learned how to make gifs from video in photoshop, so here’s my first go at it!

Just wanted to do something quick. I wanted to do like a full piece with a background and stuff. I think it looks alright but I really love the background.

Light/and body study I did last night before I went to sleep!

Some studies I did earlier this week

reposting for those that might be interested!

Now seeking trans men & transmascs for a study on chronic pelvic pain

I (they/them, nb) am NOW RECRUITING for a research study! - Transgender Men & Transmasculine Individuals (assigned female at birth, but identify as a gender identity other than "woman") who experience chronic pelvic pain. Must be 18 years or older, fluent in English, and live in the US. Your answers are anonymous.

Chronic pelvic pain is a pain that is present in the lower abdomen or pelvis that has been present for 6 or more weeks. Chronic pelvic pain may be experienced more frequently by transgender men, transmasculine, or non-cisgender women than cisgender women, yet it is understudied. Because it is understudied, clinicians may not know how to best treat chronic pelvic pain when the patient is transmasculine. The cause of this pain is also generally unknown, as are the factors that may make it better or worse for a patient. Therefore, this study hopes to better understand what chronic pelvic pain is like for transgender men and transmasculine people, and how they prefer their care is approached when they seek medical care for chronic pelvic pain.

Participation in this one-time study is expected to take about 30 minutes of your time. There is a link for a raffle.

My partner was nagging me for a month to paint more backgrounds so I'm giving him a sticker pack for christmas

Some structural studies

Hand practice! My lecturer said my hands look all the same so I tried to put in some character. It’s hard! Will try to simplify more next. (You’re welcome to use these for reference)
