Anyways I’m listening to versions of Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu and floating in a lil cloud of aural joy

If you thought elaborately faking being good at videogames to impress a bunch of manchildren was embarrassing, consider elaborately faking that your mother loves you.

tfw you’re digging so deep in YouTube you find videos with titles ending in “.wmv”

@masnick.com hey I don’t know if you want to cover this but I have a top tier lawsuit for you: Man convicted of CSA sues YouTuber for defamation because she said he’s a pedo I wish I was joking but we live in a society

Father & son

SO HEY, AUDHD. My spouse and kid think they’re there, and I can see it easily: anxiety about change, keeping a small friend/support group, stay quiet in social situations, etc. I am not like that. If I’m AuDHD, it’s the “party til you burn out for three days” type.

When I was ten I had read every Nancy Drew, every Oz book, all of Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables. I had graduated to the top floor of the library and learning “gay people exist” from Mercedes Lackey and crime stories from Mary Higgins Clark. This would have stunted my growth ⬇️

I’m out of evens with which to can’t.

Not to mention learning about being (maybe? probably?) AuDHD simultaneously 🫠 I’m dealing with almost every trait of both conditions and I just want to never ever leave the house. At least I have my life put together enough that I look fine on the outside?

I am told I am allowed to Internet today, which makes me happy because I can scream into the void about perimenopause and how it takes a wrecking ball to a neurodivergent person’s life and how I had no idea until ball was already swinging at me

May Day general strike! No work: no purchases; no internet if I try really hard. See you Saturday!

It’s after 1 am and I am still awake, reading up on revenge bedtime procrastination the irony is not lost on me

I will die on the hill of "The Warren Court was good, actually." Just about everything you think of when you say "America has freedom" comes from the Warren Court and not any other era.

Listening to my super mix algorithm today and High Infidelity came on Taylor Swift: do you really wanna know where I was April 29 Me: I don’t remember where I was. Me: Me: that’s today, today is April 29 TS again: do you really wanna know where I was April 29 Me: AT THE RHEUMATOLOGIST

World: AuDHD is a thing now My therapist: you are way too good at handling people to be autistic Studies: people with both often mask so hard and well that they fly under even a specialist’s radar Me: …fuck

Nothing like a pharmacy dicking around with your klonopin prescription 🫠 I’ve had to deal with klonopin withdrawal twice and it is fucking awful, so I am going to take my disassociating, insomniac, sweaty ass to Walgreens to kick them in the face. Metaphorically. (I do not want to be on this med.)

I need you all to know this exists and is at Costco

I NEED HELP! Please take this quick, meaningless 19 question survey so I can get data for my students to learn stats! I did a similar version a few months ago but missed an important question type. Even if you did the old one, please do it again! Please circulate widely!

Someone please stop me before I buy every dress in my Poshmark faves

💖you’re welcome💖

Hi I’m an American and can I just say HECK YEAH, CANADA

Yesterday I got to do a Networking Thing where I met someone who expressed interest in XYZ. I said “oh! I know exactly who you need to talk to!” and took her over to the person in charge of XYZ in Chicago I think I won networking? Is that a thing you can win?

hulk speak for many

To the person whose webinar I saw about how AI AGENTS ARE THE FUTURE: 1) nobody measures programming by lines of code except noted idiot Elon Musk 2) “save money by not needing developers” means “defer the cost of developers to whenever your shit is breaks and you’re desperate.

wait what do you mean we are measuring worldwide data values in zettabytes just like data is kind of my whole thing, and that still breaks my brain

No matter how good your beer is, I'm not going to the nazi bar to try it. Get off Substack.

generation lead never fails

This is equally true about Congress btw

Copilot just fucking SENT ME “Text boxes in Power Bl are the Windows XP of reporting primitives - still there, somehow, doing the bare minimum, refusing to evolve, and /absolutely convinced/ they are not the problem.”

DS9, while excellent, had a rough start and some bad episodes But this is Lower Decks libel and I will not stand for it I will die on this hill but only if nobody is actually being serious

Me when my kid tries to tell me about a meme from 2002

There is no McTry.

Cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written and I think it’s important to credit our sources.

I grew up Lutheran but there’s holy water in my giardiniera now

*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.

I stand corrected, this is true

The 25th amendment is apparently completely useless, because even using fully, inescapably, literal Nazi tactics is ok now

Me: okay we have finally broken free of some really stubborn hyperfocus. Let’s go back and finish— ADHD: LET’S LEARN TO REPOT MAKEUP …goddamnit

Most underrated movie The batshit level of product placement irked me until I learned that none of it was paid. They just did it to make a point. 💯

IT IS MY FAVORITE MEME HOLIDAY, LET’S GOOOOO Props to this person for giving me a great one

I heard the rumor about Trump and told my kids* the President is in he hospital and we should pray They got it lmao *one kid, one boyfriend, they just have four parents now

So like, here’s the thing. It’s important that I occasionally look around, look at my life, look at my choices, and ask myself: Am I the drama? The only drama I’ve seen in years came from one direction, so I can pretty confidently say “no” 😌

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

I am not sleeping enough and I need to go to bed, but also? I don’t wanna. I need to take a shower, but also? Don’t want to deal with the loud wet box Sometimes I’m amazed I even function, much less work full time

Me: hey where’d my pill case go Theater kid me: I THINK THAT I DROPPED MY STASH If that’s now stuck in your head all day, good 😇

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇
