Good morning.
Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

So nice to have an unelected asshole taking it upon himself to engage in knife-edge international diplomacy that affects everyone, months before his work husband actually has the authority to empower him to do so.

The effort to undermine the Maori treaty is led by David Seymour, who has ties to the Atlas Network and who used to work at a Canadian think tank that has called the discovery of graves of Indigenous children at a residential school a "hoax."

Imagine disassembling an entire power plant — hunks of metal so heavy they break cranes — and reassembling working components at a different power plant to keep it running.
That’s what it takes for Ukrainian power companies to keep the lights on this winter.

I have a lot of advice about Bluesky culture, ha!
But here's one: Don't put up with crap. Toxicity plagued the birdsite for numerous reasons, and here we do not tolerate it.
Tolerance is a contract. If they're breaking it, you don't have to do anything but BLOCK.

Most people have no idea TN and H1B visa holders can't earn any side income that would trigger a 1099. No paid class talks, no book deals, no capital gains from trading stocks, no honorariums, no flipping stuff from thrift stores by any measurable volume. And definitely no freelancing. Nothing.

More evidence it's not the size of certain parts of ADHD brains that differ, it's the connections. Our brains connect differently:
Heightened connectivity between structures involved in learning, movement, reward, and emotion and structures involved in attention and control of unwanted behaviors.

Folks in academia, please think about the implications of these results. It means your ADHD students likely have trouble obtaining their medications (not to mention the current med shortage) and getting a diagnosis is NOT easy.

Will it help you? Maybe but maybe not
Are there better methods out there? Very likely.
