I've shipped internationally a decent amount since the Harmonized Tariff Code thing went into action, so I keep a little "cheat sheet" of codes so I don't have to look it up every time. Maybe this will help someone else, so might as well share!

Effective immediately UPS will no longer be available as an option for shipment from me. I do not trust them or their shitty retroactive AI anymore.

If you've been waiting to grab a pattern, please do it now? I can't afford to absorb this charge, I'm barely keeping afloat.

My tips to get started and get things done with ADHD! Body doubling works best for me 👀 what works best for you?

Part 2 of 3!

Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part 2/3"

Top: A cozy stove with a pot of soup. Text: "Recap of Part 1: Imagine ADHD Motivation as a stove with retractable buttons." A button pops out labeled "The buttons are 'motivation'."

Bottom: ADHD Alien character sitting cross-legged, holding a game controller, tongue out in focus. Text: "How do I get buttons then? Buttons aren't something you can simply & reliably refill by resting. It's more of a timing-and-momentum thing, like pulling off a button combo on a console." Arrow icons show a combo: ← ↓ ← ↑ ↓ →

Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part aimed at coping strategies."

Top: Hands holding two bowls labeled "Color Laundry." Text: "Randomize what task to start with."

Middle left: Open notebook with one highlighted paragraph. Text: "Start with the smallest possible effort like reading only one paragraph."

Middle right: Notebook with checklist and questions. Text: "Write down the steps you need to take and any questions you might have."

Bottom left: Desk with laptop, calendar, pen cup. Text: "Keep things you need for specific tasks in one, clean spot (avoid button cost for searching)."

Bottom center: Scattered items (cup, tape, sock, plate, paper) sorted into three boxes: "Laundry", "Dishes", "Paper." Text: "Instead of trying to clean everything at once, focus on one category."

Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part aimed at coping strategies."

Top left: 15-minute timer with duck icon. Text: "Challenge yourself: how much can you do in 15 minutes? Next time, beat it!"

Top right: Character praising self with speech bubble: "I did that really well!" Text: "Praise yourself out loud! (ADHD brains don’t reward us as much as other brains do.)"

Middle left: Two thought bubbles over character: crossed-out dirty shirt ("If I don’t do laundry, I’m lazy") vs. clean shirt ("If I do laundry, my clothes will smell nice"). Text: "Reframe tasks from punishment to being beneficial for you."

Bottom left: Character sealing papers with speech bubble: "we need to seal the demons away!" Text: "Combine things that are fun with tasks that have a high button cost."

Bottom right: Two characters on video call, one writing. Text: "Do quiet work sessions of 30 minutes with your friends (body doubling)."

Comic page: "How to Motivate Yourself with ADHD - Part aimed at coping strategies."

Top left: Phone timer showing "01:25hr Until I have to get dressed." Text: "Avoid waiting-mode by using a timer to see the amount of time you can safely use before having to leave."

Top right: Character with purple hair smelling a candle. Text: "Use a certain song, tea or scented candle to condition your brain for 'focus time'."

Middle left: Character flexing arm. Text: "Physical activity can help with motivation and focus."

Bottom right: Character leaping off couch with "HOPPP!" sound effect. Text: "Give yourself a count-down: 'In 5 seconds, I'll get off the couch' 5...4...3...2...1...HOPPP!"

this is the absolute most predictable response from the democratic establishment

every popular candidate slightly left of center has been the target of party ire. bernie, zohran, the whole squad (what’s left of it), hell, even Tim Walz was told to shut up when he sounded too normal

it remains utterly baffling to me that a party whose leadership is historically unpopular with its base gets a generational political talent who is actually resonating with people and instead of thanking their lucky stars they’re like WE MUST STOP THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

I'm sure this seems like a good idea to some people, but as a dairy farmer I can tell you that there a handful of us that'll empty that whole fucking bottle in one beautifully studied squeeze, and it will shoot through hotdog, through the bottom of the plate and fill the floor.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.
