That's not a myth. ADHD is not 100% pathology.

ADHD can be your superpower

ADHD can be your kryptonite

Often both in the same day. See my post.

ADHD is not just a cognitive condition

It affects your emotions too, and a lot of people don't discuss this enough.

💡 Did you know? Accommodations aren’t about giving students with ADHD an advantage—they’re about giving them access.

With the right supports, students can show their true abilities and thrive in the classroom.

Neurodiversity isn’t new.
What’s new is that we’re finally talking about it.

ADHD, dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia, PDA, DID, Tourette’s, sensory profiles…have always been part of the story.

The difference now is language, visibility & community.

💃🪴 Movement doesn’t have to mean a workout! Any joyful activity—like gardening, dancing, or walking with a friend—counts as exercise. Move your body, lift your mood, and celebrate what feels good. 💙

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.

After having a full day to process the shitshow performance she put on yesterday, it is clear that we learned much more from what she refused to say than any on the right-wing propaganda that escaped her lips.

tRump is in the Epstein files, and Holeman took at least a $50,000 bribe.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Patriarchy protects predators

It’s not surprising they’re suppressing the Epstein list

Survivors don’t matter. It’s about protecting the men

Look at Gisele Pelicot. Raped by over 50 men who were all convicted. Dragged back into court because one felt he shouldn’t have to bear the label of rapist

My brain is fried from too many years paying too much attention to the far right. I used to think maybe I was being alarmist due to that media diet. I’ve realized if anything I wasn’t screaming loud enough. The line has already been crossed.

“I don’t think they had the long-term forethought.

I think they’re too ketamine addled and ADHD to do this. ( plan the enshittification in advance).
