I dont "have Adult ADHD." I have #ADHD that went undiagnosed until I was an adult. And since it's a neurological condition, you're either born with it or not, so.

"There is a misconception that those with ADHD lack the ability to pay attention or stay focused. The reality is that ADHD causes us to pay too *much* attention to everything most of the time—especially when it comes from our environment. We may become easily distracted by irrelevant information

"'Everything's a mess, my car, my apartment. I keep making stupid little mistakes. I'm tired and overwhelmed all the time. I keep telling myself, "Kristine, you can do better. Get it together!" But it seems like I just can't. My fiancé asks how he can help me—I don't even know what help to ask for.

"Because those of us with ADHD receive so many small messages like that, they build up and leave dents in our sense of well-being." -Dr. Tamara Rosier, Your Brain's Not Broken | As if I didn't have enough dents in my sense of well-being from other things. 😞

"I know too well how those of us with ADHD are assessed by a non-ADHD world. Previous supervisors, friends, and even family members have interpreted my symptoms as carelessness, laziness, or stupidity. Even when people know that I have ADHD, they often attribute my symptoms to flaws in my

That moment when Task Manager stops responding.... 🤔

I'm already fucking sick tired of hearing about the 🇺🇸 men's hockey players, and its only been a few hours. FTS.

Heard today there’s a severe translator shortage for regular immigration appearances at Whipple. Does anyone know if there‘s a community effort (à la Haven for released folks) to supply translators for these hearings? If not it sounds like we desperately need one.

So therapy today was good (I 💜 my therapist, y'all!)...and so was early dinner afterward. From then on, it was not my night. Wanted to go to a toy store (for reasons) so I drove out of my usual way to one that seemed promising in Google results. Turned out it was closed, over an hour before the +

How could we [I am also chronically ill] not have skin in the game?!? What do they even mean by that? (I know what that expression means; I'm wondering what the people who believe that are really saying.❓️)

*sigh* I am out and about (which is rare for me, for reasons) and am suddenly in desperate want of a 3rd place/hangout type spot that does not revolve around food or the felt pressure to buy anything. 😬 I actually don't want to go home in this moment. #help #ColumbusOH

A) I have an aversions to bananas because my dad always ate then noisily. 😬 And B) I also don't like how they taste. What I don't know is how much B is just because of A though. 🤷‍♀️

Cranberry sauce (*not* referring to the canned stuff) is cooking (boiling) them in water, like with sugar and stuff. Then cooled to serve. Very tasty. So easy and way better than the canned.

For me it's watermelon. 🍉 Just...not good. I love blueberries. 🫐 😊 #DifferentSrrokes

As a kid/young adult, cantaloupe was my favorite. But then 1 time in college, I took a bit of it and immediately felt like I had to throw up, ran out of the dining hall (don't remember if I actually did or not). It's probably not even that bite's fault...but yeah, I don't love it anymore.

Ya might never have thought The attorneys will save us, but here we are. 👏

We live in a world where giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy, but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

Um, I have questions. But they're mostly about the property in that image. #Minneapolis

Hypermobile pals: can you recommend a pillow that keeps your neck in place when you sleep? My neck pain has been so intense because my neck just flops all over the place, and I wake up looking like a sketch of a dead body in a play. (Also, not something on Amazon please.)🙏

OK, *that thunder clap was loud. 👂

Star Trek: More of the Same would just be...more of the same. Imagine bing a producer of Show B, and all some people can say is, "How come you're not like Show A?" 🤦‍♀️ Especially when Show A, in this case, made *178* episodes. Let different shows be different.

They just wanted to grow food. Their suburban neighbors declared war. www.motherjones.com/environment/... This is wild. The idea that you'd have to fight to garden on your own property is nuts. @divadrummer.bsky.social: relevant to your interests.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

But those episodes are f*cking me up. Especially Harrison Ford's performance. Give that man an Emmy already. #Shrinking

I just also realized: This is going to help me be so much easier on myself. 😳

IDK why people think it took LW's name being unredacted from the JE files to know about his being a JE assoc. The FBI named him as a JE co-conspirator in '19. Also, the Hulu docuseries Victoria's Secret: Angels and Demons, which has been out since '22, details their relationship.

There comes a point where you can no longer say no to the craving...you know what I'm sayin'? #JenisSplendidIceCreams

(And before you show up hot and bothered about reclaiming it, reclaiming usually requires buy-in from the community it targets, and given it’s MULTIPLE, that’s fraught af. Also I am aware of linguistic shift. Why does it always mean shifting to conceal eugenicist shit?)

I’m also personally of the opinion that dehumanizing language doesn’t have a place in our work. It has a way of spiraling until you wind up a hundred years on using words like “cabal” without realizing that is quite hurtful. I’d prefer not to be that Trojan horse for Nazi rhetoric, thanks.

Is that really something you want to get comfortable with? As for me, my grandmother’s family wasn’t nearly eradicated for me to play fast and loose with the label they were given. (Polish, Jewish and Catholic intermarriage, some autism as well.)

This aligns with people also being comfortable leveraging ableist, fatphobic, etc. to target people they don't like. All they are doing is normalizing that kind of language.

It is also not something we should be using on right wingers. Why? Well, not because I am worried about their feelings. Because there’s tons of research showing that if you start using dehumanizing language even ironically, it becomes easier and easier to access.

*pinches nose* Time for your quarterly reminder that degenerate is a Nazi term, indicating the literal degeneration of a gene pool. Things this referred to: interracial marriage! Queerness! Disability! It pretty much indicates they don’t think you’re human! It’s not a cutesy way to say “leftist”

Looks like Mitch McConnell was released from the hospital after a week and it wasn't anywhere in my news. That in itself says something.
