Fun fact about #ADHD: sometimes you get paralysed with executive dysfunction; sometimes you end up planing, routing, squaring off, sanding and oiling a perfectly fine chopping board.
Much better.

I hate the fact that #hashtags are seemingly an absolute requirement for any kind of reach.
I know why they exist, but using them feels like I’ve fallen into a darker timeline where I’m a marketing exec or social media consultant.

The fluffy cloud is upset that he can’t go out of the front door.
He is not allowed out of the front door because:
- he gets scared by plants, turtles and unexpected rustling
- he can’t climb fences to come back in through the garden round back
- he’s too stupid to go anywhere but the garden.

Costco pays its employees well & has no trouble finding good employees. Costco pays their executives comparatively modestly and their stock is doing great. The right absolutely hates things like that.
My career was based on analyziing executive compensation, and I have so many stories.

“Pruny” toes and fingers is understood to be an evolved trait to increase your grip when you are wet
This is even more fascinating when you understand that the human body can’t objectively sense when it is wet … and instead uses context clues to determine if you are wet.

The big difference between diagnosed and not boils down to 'Were you able to develop coping strategies that you could implement that outwardly made you seem normal', because even if they exhaust the hell out of you and eat 90% of your focus, well, you seem neurotypical to your average doc now

People of Bluesky, I'm looking for resources to educate myself on the #menopause. Especially if you're a man who's been there for their beau through it.
Specifically resources around supporting a partner while yourself being #neurodivergent and struggling with #empathy and remembering things.
