Hey! It's my friends birthday in London on 21st October and I'm looking for things to do with her. Preferably that won't break the bank too much. We both drink alcohol and are 22 and 23. Here's some things she likes for ideas:
Cats
Autumn
Kpop
Kirby
Life is strange
Lesbian pride
Small bands and gigs
Wine
Cocktails
Nature
Please give me some places! I have been googling but I just can't find anything via my searching, I think some more experienced folk from London would have better ideas!
I've always struggled with education, I couldn't finish school and barely attended, I did 5 different college courses and couldn't finish any of them either. My life has been a big spiral of mental illness and physical disabilities and the severe bullying and trauma on top has made education really hard for me to manage. I also struggle with Autism and I have really bad ADHD.
I told myself a couple years ago that I just give up on education. I will never be able to cope in it and I just shouldn't bother. I stuck with that mindset for 2 years and I just sat at home wallowing and spiralling into deep depression.
Until a couple of weeks ago. I spontaneously decided I was sick of wallowing and digging myself deeper into a hole. I got on the college website and applied for the Animation course. I was nervous and scared, terrified I was gonna get bullied again. Scared about travelling and socialising. But I stuck it through. I got invited to an interview and got in!!!
My first days were rough, I cried so many times cuz I was just so tired but I WILL stick this through this time!! I believe in myself. I have hope in myself. I can do this.
I even made some friends! I approached some cool looking alternative people and asked if I could hang out with them and they're super awesome and we're even going to the pub after college today!!
I've never been prouder of myself. I would've already given up by this point but I am determined to keep this up and power through.
I've never been so vulnerable on the internet before, but this is a lovely, supportive community and I felt like I could share my weaknesses and accomplishments to you all.
Thanks for reading!!!

Hey my ibis paint has updated and all of a sudden my dip pen (hard) is feeling really off when I use it. Did they update the pens and stuff??? Has anyone else experienced it and how can I get it feeling like the old pens again???
Hey, this is pretty urgent. I'm starting a full time college course tomorrow (I'm on LCWRA and PIP) and I'm curious if I can get a UC advance payment for travel fees to get to and from college until my bursary money comes through? It could take 35 days to hear back about the bursary and I won't be able to afford travel until then. If anyone could please advise me that would be great. Thank you
Hey! I made this outfit and I intend to wear it more but I want to know what style it would be considered under? I have a pair of dungarees in the same style too but I'm just curious! Thanks!
I'm so happy with how it turned out! Now I only have the shoes left to do but they're not as important tbh. What do you all think??? :3
I'm painting a pair of jeans and I'm loving them so far! The last thing to add is ferns as gap fillers then I'm done :)
Hey, I have new upstairs neighbours. She has 2 young kids, under 7 years old (I think) and they have been BANGING on the floor, like running around 12 hours a day, everyday. It's so loud it makes our flat shake and our lights flicker. I've been upstairs and asked her to please be a bit quieter, it was a pleasant conversation and she apologised but it has continued since. She said "it's hard to keep the little ones from stomping around" and me being me agreed and said it's fine and to just be a bit mindful. It's REALLY getting under my and my partners skin now as it's going on from 7am - 7pm daily. What can I do to get them to actually stop being so loud without coming across like a dick?? I don't really want to go up there again and complain as I feel like I'll just come across naggy or something.
She's a very nice lady and genuinely seems to mean well and it'd be nice to have some sort of connection with a new neighbour but ooohhh my god this is getting on our nerves. Any advice is heavily appreciated.
(For context we are renting with the council)
Hey! I have probably over 200 darkling beetles currently which I have raised from mealworms. Their tank is pretty small as I didn't really intend to have so many! I don't plan to keep the mealworms for feeding so I'm just gonna let the beetles do their thing and breed, grow etc. I wanna set up a big, nice enclosure for them as I've really grown to love these beetles. Does anyone have advice on setup?
Substrate, decor, temps, humidity, tank size etc. I know what to feed them as I've been keeping them for weeks! But I wanna have some inspo for a cool tank for them. Thanks!
Hiya! I need an adult, deep male voice to do a bit of humming for me for a portfolio piece for my college work please! I may need you for more noises too when I decide to continue the animation.
It will be posted to YouTube/Tiktok/Instagram too when I end up expanding on it! (Credited of course!) I'll post a clip of the animation I'll need dubbed over, and if you're interested please message me or comment with your demo or examples of your humming!
The voice I need:
• a British/"Modern RP" accent is HEAVILY preferred (especially if I decide to continue the animation)
• Deep tone of voice, almost quiet and husky.
• it would be amazing if you are able to do a maniacal laugh!
• Adult male voice
Please DO NOT contact me on my Instagram, I would prefer to be contacted here and then I can give you my discord if I think you are a good fit
Thank you so much!!! ❤️

I have a loose Pokémon Emerald GBA cartridge. Just found it. I see at CeX I can sell it to them for £89 but it's apparently worth £130-200. I want it to sell quick so I'm curious, is it worth selling it to CeX? Or if I list it on eBay will it sell quick? Ty!
Help! Idk which hairstyle looks better. I've been trying to style my mullet differently and I played around and got these 2 styles. The first one is it all pushed to the front, the second is pushed to the side... Thoughts?
This is genuinely the funniest pic I've ever got of my goober. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 😭😭
Hi, today I woke up to physically the worst flare up I have had in years. I have had a really good time with my EDS recently, feeling almost completely able bodied and free. Then today I woke up with my shoulder completely subluxed and numb and a horrible pain in my sternum. I stretched, my sternum CRUNCHED and my shoulder went back to normal. My day was relatively okay until about 6 hours ago. I started to have this aching, sharp pain in my right side of my chest and that horrible pain in my sternum again. I tried to draw to distract myself but the pen just kept making my fingers dislocate. I gave up on that. I had so much housework to do and I can't do any of it and I just feel lazy and everything. I'm in so much pain with my chest, my shoulder, I physically cannot move my back at all, my knee has this horrible pinching pain, my thumbs feel like they're constantly on the edge of dislocating as I'm typing this, I feel sick and have stomach ache, I'm gassy, everything feels off, I'm tired, this is just awful and I want it to stop. I forgot how bad my EDS can be during my high spell and now I've fallen back down I feel useless and horrible. My partner is also disabled so over the last while I've been holding most of the fort. But I can't today and I feel horrible for it. Ugh. I wish I wasn't chronically ill. I have such bad imposter syndrome and even now I feel like I'm doing it for attention. I have a professional diagnosis but I still feel like I'm faking everything.
Every second I keep seeming to have a new worse symptom.
Please let me know anything I can do to make this feel a bit better as I'm losing my mind...
Sorry for the rant, just a rough day...

Hey, my boy Sylvester has been staying up high on his branches for literal days recently. It's been about 5 days he's stayed up there. I know he's in shed but what's weird is he usually stays in his hides during shed so idk why he's hanging up there like that. Is there any reason he's not using his hides?? I'm just a bit concerned.
