Just finished #debriefing myself after my trip to the allergist and this is part of my #notes.

I’ve been an inveterate note-taker for years and discovered #PKM (Personal Knowledge Management) last year while searching for #ADHD oriented methods of organization & productivity.

That led me to the amazing #Obsidian app (which is shockingly free for being fully featured), which took my note-taking to another level.

I do gain some satisfaction from creating informative visuals 🙂

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

More Notes & Asides

TIL that #Obsidian has a code inspector just like browsers, so I was able to fix the appearance of some #Todoist #tasks and make it look *exactly* as I wanted to, which filled me with much #joy. Obsidian is truly personalizable – maybe I need to learn how to make plug-ins to extend functionality (#coding has always been so abstract to me that I’ve never been able to follow through, I can do front end dev only because I like seeing changes visually). If you’re feeling limited by simple #notes apps like Apple Notes, I highly #recommend #ObsidianApp. It can be as simple or as complex as you like, and you can access your vault on phone, tablet, and desktop easily. #PKM #PersonalKnowledgeManagement #Recommendations

Any #AppleiPad users notice an increase in weird little issues in the past few months?
Any #AppleiPad users notice an increase in weird little issues in the past few months? I’ve happily used a 2018 iPad Pro for the last 5 years but in the last few months there have been repeated weird issues. The iPad has always been rock solid until now, so I’m wondering if a recent iPadOS update messed things up (either intentionally or unintentionally by Apple) or if it’s just me. It’s definitely not a storage issue as I’ve got over 250gb (out of 512gb) free.

I just realized that #Nemo’s performance on the balancing thingies was a physical representation of their thoughts, feelings, & journey. They went from having trouble balancing on them (like societal expectations vs their dysmorphia) to being in control (breaking the code) 🤯🤯🤯 Am I just slow on the uptake? #ESC #Eurovision

the primevals 2023
I started watching #ThePrimevals last night and it is an AWESOME BLAST FROM THE PAST! The #stopmotion #animation is exquisite and everything about the production – the shots, the blocking, the color grading – feels like a #film made before 1982. And it’s a straight up B #movie with tacky dialogue and bad acting. I’m looking forward to watching the rest, apparently the story gets batshit crazy.

X-men 2000 movie poster. The poster is divided into 5 columns, broken up by a black band with ‘X-MEN’ in the middle. Above & below the word, each column shows a partial face of 10 different characters.
We watched the 2000 #Xmen movie last night. The technology was a bit dated, as expected. The cgi was pretty good for the era, but I really wish they’d used a character besides Toad, who I find gimmicky. The story holds up, and holds up a mirror too. I always liked that they went straight for using the Mutant Registration Act as the main storyline instead of an origin tale. Has X-men historically appealed to LGBTQ comic lovers who could relate to their struggles for acceptance? The protests & attitudes against mutants also made me think of the trans community today, and the genocide the GOP & their fascist kin are attempting with all their laws, dog whistles, and stochastic terrorism. The #movie feels quaint, compared to modern times where these people do much, much worse than protest with signs. #movies #comics #comicbooks

  1. @ArpComics Obsidian is frickin awesome.

    Also, I haven’t used it in 4+ months because I’ve been so fixated on work that I completely forgot journaling is a thing I like to do.

    Sigh. #ADHD 😂
