Share your joy, people.

Share your sadness too, but don’t think that you can’t talk about the good stuff when there’s bad stuff going on.

Share your triviality too. It doesn’t detract from the serious stuff.

It *all* matters. We’re all just humans doing human things. Keep doing it.

lmao apple music really digging into my childhood this evening..

Rhymes that keep their secrets
Will unfold behind the clouds
And there upon the rainbow
...

You know the rest.. if you’re around my age maybe 😆

I tried to discover 🎶
A little something to make me sweeter 🎶

I basically do the same with my methylphenidate btw. Originally I had the extended release, but it was awful.. I’d get nothign all day then ping awake at night. The I switched to instant and was taking 20 then 20 then 10mg, but it was a rollercoaster, so now I overlap 10m's throughout the day 👌

It’s actually hard to remember tbh. I get the occasional flashback, but otherwise all I really remember now is a blur of flying by the seat of my pants and winging everything every day in a constant state of frustration and anxiety, and tears.. lots of tears 😅

God when it happens around people it’s really the worst, and impossible to explain to somebody how I can go from seemingly competent to a bag of cats in such a short space of time 😅

Reddit-ridden wannabe tech bro territory, not much makes sense but the grift 🙃

Kathryn de Tomb 🏳️‍⚧️🫶 [Free Łink!] @kathryndeplume.com · 17h

Yup it really do be like that. It just seems like it’s worse now because you’re not used to feeling like that all the time 😅

By the by I was diagnosed and medicated ~7 years ago now, and there was a point I thought maybe its just the meds making me feel this way. And then I was off them for over a year and nah, it’s not the meds lol 🤪

Meth(ylphenidate)

Kathryn de Tomb 🏳️‍⚧️🫶 [Free Łink!] @kathryndeplume.com · 17h

I have now done the deed and waiting for my brain to notice 🙃

Kathryn de Tomb 🏳️‍⚧️🫶 [Free Łink!] @kathryndeplume.com · 18h

Or as @goatsarah.org would say - I am currently messy and eager to not be messy for a bit 🥴

I love trifle so much it feels sinful 😅

Kinda funny that any company using it invariably devalues their own market research once they can’t tell the difference between bots and actual people talking about their products. Ho hum 😅

There’s probably parents recoiling in horror, but let me tell you this. I have 4 kids, the eldest is in their late 20’s, and as adults none of them are “lazy” or “spoiled”, they’re all hard working and studious, and they’re also adept with computers. Soo 🤷‍♀️

Just absolutely blown my lil guy’s mind. He said he wants to play minecraft AND watch videos, so I showed him how, and he was literally like.. wait what.. you actually CAN do that??

It’s funny to see how similarly our minds think in lots of little subtle ways, like when he puts things in a chest and there are multiple stacks of that item he likes to make sure they are all full stacks until the last one. He’s never seen me do that, but I do it 😆
