Working theory- ADHDers operate on a kind of emotional memory- that’s why they know exactly where things are in a pile. There is an emotional attachment made when “creating” that pile of stuff. So they don’t memorize where something is, they KNOW where it is because of the feeling associated with it

*Terrible news alert*
1. Acknowledge: "This is terrible."

4. Act: "What's a way to honor that purpose?"

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

Re: anxiety: avoidance=fear=avoidance=fear. This is how we become afraid of our own feelings. We suppress them and that sends a message to our brain that they’re scary and SHOULD be avoided, which makes us suppress them more. Make a little more room for them today. They’re not as scary as you think

Re: caring for difficult loved ones: you have been historically made to feel responsible for things beyond your control, which is why caring for a difficult loved one can be so extra hard. Feelings of laziness, not enough-ness, and fear are part of the journey. Only take what’s yours ♥️

I think that the tweet genre of “this person (who might be a bot) had a bizarre opinion that made me think less of humanity and so the right thing by to do is screenshot it and show it to the largest number of people” is silly.
