The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Friday food for thought! This article describes "saving money and spending happiness." (i.e. getting the balance wrong). www.theunsubscribed.co/p/the-emotio...

Re. the recent murders/incident in Manchester. Normally I don't care about these things. Literally don't care, doesn't affect my emotions. But somehow it hit closer as it were. /1

VIDEO NOW LIVE! Perfectionism, masking and other workplace mental health challenges. We also speak a bit about Gifted and how this fits in. www.londonscalling.net/sessions/per...

This is the powerfully disturbing reality of the state’s treatment of trans people over the last two decades (made worse by the shifting goalposts on the recognition of same sex relationships)

In 1945, the Allies faced a tricky question: where to hold Nazi war criminals until the trials. A run-down hotel in Luxembourg was quickly converted to a prison ("Camp Ashcan"). The hope was to keep the nature of the prisoners secret. In May 1945, this failed, and almost turned into a disaster. /1

I feel it's necessary to announce that I have found my errant sock. I am unjustifiably pleased by this! 🎉 But now I need to know: was it abducted, or did it try to escape? 👀

Off-topic for me these days, but does Salesforce need some sort of tool, perhaps a database, to help them manage their domains? Ah!! Coaching question: What strategy or tools do you have in place to help you to remember to renew critical infrastructure? 🤣 www.theregister.com/2025/09/26/s...

I feel rule number one of polticial comms is not to repeat the allegation that’s been made against you in a quote …

Two truths and a lie! #9 ⚔️ ADHDers always embrace new ideas 💘 ADHDers can feel rejected when the opposite is intended 🪄 An experienced ADHD coach is great for any ADHDer /1

This was a chilling account to read, with some of the tactics mentioned, to be honest :/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... But on the plus side it shows that the vast vast vast majority of people are honourable, otherwise we would all be hacked!

The AfD qualified for three mayoral run-offs in cities in North Rhine-Westphalia today, and lost all by big margins. The lesson is not that we have overdone the AfD's rise, but that we do perhaps sometimes underestimate the counter-mobilisation effects - including in east Germany, incidentally.

The internet is really weird. For instance there's this website that claims to have ADHD stats, but click the links and you don't get source reporting, only home pages. Click on Contact Us & you get a 404! 🤯 wifitalents.com/adhd-employm... AI generated nonesense or incompetance? Impossible to tell!

It’s over for us

Clearly, although Friday was a fine day, there was a good reason I didn't have a Happy Friday post. Happy Saturday folks!

Random: thoroughly enjoying the Murderbot series (the books; also now on Apple TV) by Martha Wells. A sarcastic, bored, murdering robot. It's great. Thoroughly recommend!

Clever way of promoting priority seating on the DLR - targeting the "face down in their smartphone" passenger.

Nothing in my diary today until this evening, which is extremely unusual. Felt as tired as anything. Then remembered that this is my first day like that for around 3 weeks. The body knows when it's time for a little R&R and it grabbed that today with both hands!

The #Railway200 exhibition train ‘Inspiration’ is on tour across Britain and it’s free. Check the locations & book your visit 👇🏻 I’m booked to see it in - *checks notes* - Glasgow. Well why not? railway200.co.uk/inspiration/...

Coffee this Saturday (27th September) at The Social Hub (15 Candleriggs Square)! All welcome, diagnosed or not! Drop in anytime while we're there 12:30-2:00 (for sure between those times but almost certainly beyond) #ADHD #Glasgow

This is al true, but still prefer Glasgow 😍

Picard management tip: Be willing to reevaluate your own behavior.

A horrific start of the week! (courtesy of @adhdinos.bsky.social p.s. Happy New Year/Shana Tova for all that celebrate!

Two truths and a lie! #8 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 ADHD often presents differently in men as opposed to women, so women tend to be underdiagnosed. 🖥️ ADHD is caused by too much screen time on computers. /1 of 8

We will also be at Stirling Pride tomorrow! Come see us in the march or drop by our stall in the Albert Halls! #StirlingPride #StirlingPride2025 #ADHD @stirlingpride.bsky.social

Happy Friday folks!

Really Salesforce? If you're a *paying nonprofit* customer I would be extremely concerned at this stage... This is why I am so cautious about licensing models which require you to negotiate your discount each year. www.theregister.com/2025/09/19/s...

NEW ARTICLE! I feel its going to resonate with many of you, even if it's a new concept. All about Giftedness and why it is so prevalent in the Salesforce ecosystem. With particular thanks to Marie van Roekel and Paul McCollum for brainstorming. Direct link: www.apexhours.com/understandin...

TIL that DB calls the real time occupancy indicators on long distance train seats, that let people know that seat is taken as far as a particular station “Digital Towels”. Really not shaking the tourist stereotypes there… #interrail

Two truths and a lie! #7 📆 Coaching can be flexible ⚒️ The right tools will fix everything 🛌🏻 ADHD can impact time and quality of sleep /1

Enjoying the last moments of the weekend...

Slowly gearing up for my 1st ICF (International Coaching Federation) exam. They allow REASONABLE accommodations. Torn between asking for: - an infinite supply of chocolate (including afterwards to help with my mental state) - someone else to sit the exam for me (as suggested by a colleague)

Spent the entire day updating an ADHD resources website. Very happy! Now awaiting sign off :) (but it's live already!) (I actually took a backup - I'm a good boy occasionally 🤯)

Trans Women are Women. Trans Men are Men. If you are in the UK and agree, here's quick working for today... Sgn “Amend Equality Act to define the terms woman and man not based on biological sex” petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... (yay for the 2020's 🙄) (cheers to @crmtom92.com for the spot)

Dear Bluesky Diary. It's great that I have a successful day where I feel a contribute, have client sessions, making connections in the ADHD community, help friends & even do some Salesforce project work, but there are OTHER days in the week. Would you mind awfully if I dont do this every day? [1/2]

Fuck it, I love you II

Two truths and a lie! #4 - Size matters! The longer you coaching session, the more effective it is. ⌚ - Time blindness affects neurodivergent people more than the mainstream population. ⏰ - Solutions often need to evolve over time. 📈 [1/4]
