It is really frustrating that almost all advice you see about ADHD tends to be a rotation of the same suggestions, like "use body doubling" or "gamify it" or "use a timer," etc.
It's not that these things do not help, it's just . . . is that it? There's nothing that helps more deeply?

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

We must launch an investigation in our confectionery cohesion crisis
Tap? Tap? Have they been weakening the chocolate-orangy bonds that hold the segments together? I for one wont stand for this lack of confectionary cohesion.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Direct action is not designed as spectacle for media consumption, unlike large peaceful protests which are, deliberately, a spectacle.
The editorial desks at major media outlets are incapable of grasping the difference. Direct action scares institutions because it threatens the order they sit atop.

Just want ppl to understand what anarchists mean by direct action that Chad mentioned in his post below this one. Anarchists don’t rely on ppl like politicians or institutions to solve problems — and achieve goals ourselves. 1/3

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.
"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.
Geoff Bennett has more.

A twin fear/rage response is triggered in me whenever I hear the word "behavior" spoken with a certain inflection or within certain contexts because of things that happened to me as a child
I’ve never met an autistic person whose “behaviour” wasn’t completely logical once you understood their needs, their history, and their nervous system.
We’re not confusing.
People just aren’t listening.

Sleepy panda looms in moonglow
Tail curled up in rusty fuzz
Grass all pitter-pattered below
While the hoppers chirp & buzz
A thousand starry lights surround
This tiny creature, struck in awe
At how the sky behaves around
A moon when the clouds are gone
Sleepy panda looms in moonglow
Tail curled up in rusty fuzz
Grass all pitter-pattered below
While the hoppers chirp & buzz
A thousand starry lights surround
This tiny creature, struck in awe
At how the sky behaves around
A moon when the clouds are gone
Red panda at night

I don't much enjoy being an individual. I recognize its role in my life and the life I want to have, but there's a fundamental loneliness to it. And it doesn't matter how close you are to anyone. It never goes away
