So many thoughts... so little time!

#ADHDAwarenessMonth

Title: “Sharing Thoughts.”

Top panel labeled “Non-ADHD”: One person carefully holds a single green butterfly taken from labeled jars of “Experiences,” “Ideas,” and “Opinions,” calmly sharing it with another person who listens with interest.

Bottom panel labeled “ADHD”: The ADHD character joyfully releases a colorful swarm of butterflies—orange, blue, purple, pink, yellow, and green—representing many thoughts and ideas all at once, while the other person looks startled and overwhelmed.

6 ADHD FACTS I wish I'd known sooner

ADHD is often missed in girls & women because we're taught to hide it.

Estrogen drops during perimenopause can worsen ADHD, which is why many women are diagnosed later.

ADHD isn't a lack of attention it's a struggle to regulate it.

Hyperactivity can be internal - racing thoughts, overthinking, overwhelm.

ADHD affects working memory making it hard to hold info long enough to use it.

Emotional dysregulation makes many of us hypersensitive to rejection and criticism.

Last night, the JWST observed Uranus for calibration. Even like that the result is awesome, so here you go with my processed image of that observation! 🔭

HD: flic.kr/p/2ry78y3

Observation of Uranus by the JWST. The planet itself appears mostly blue, but the pole, a big patch, is white. Some storms can also be spotted near the pole. The rings of the planet can be spotted in infrared light, so they appear in that image (in orange color).

Lots of gorgeous, rare plants in this video.

Sad that people see videos like this, and try to buy the plants online. That then sometimes drives illicit collection of plants in the wild which iin turn threatens their existence.

a fortunate quirk is that doing food and medical support for impoverished children, foreign and domestic, *also* is about the biggest bang it is possible to get for our buck.

so you can analyze aid on a moral basis or a realpolitik basis and you get the same answer: we should do it

Here's the thing. I am a lucky person and pay a fair bit in taxes. I can think of no better use for my tax dollars than feeding children, because I think all people are equally deserving of basic humanity.

Conservative MP Mel Stride claims PIP benefit is thousands of pounds per month.

No it is an absolute maximum of £720 a month, and most people only get £250 or less.

Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

Sir Michael Marmot evidences Tories’ “malicious” 14year disinvestment in the NHS. George Osborne underfunded NHS to claw back the cost of saving banks. Sunak was one of the team who broke those banks. Patients still pay for his profits - with their lives. The obscenely wealthy must make restitution.
