I think my father was neurodivergent and he guzzled Coca-Colas, smoked four packs a day, and had a wife, a mistress, and a secretary managing his life. Being a white dude of a certain class and era was sort of the ultimate accommodation (shame about the COPD and rotten teeth though)
Also, if you look at that timeframe, it's also when companies stopped letting people support their executive function by having a secretary
ADHD causes far less trouble if your wife and your secretary run your life for you
The women were on mother's little helper

Yes, I am a (Southern) WASP and I’ve got plenty of “cousins” and “uncles” who are not related to me by blood or whose actual connection is so far back it can’t be recounted without getting out some kind of chart. Nobody is confused about this.
Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”

You need to chill out about other people's behavior most of the time. If they're not hurting you, just being annoying in a way you can cope with, then cope. It's probably not a problem with them, but wider systems. Get zen with people being people.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Sometimes you get high and start waxing idiotic about how The Simpsons is about the journey from Judaism ("Abraham" Simpson) to Hellenism ("Homer" Simpson) and then finally to Christianity ("Bartholomew" Simpson) and then someone tells you to shut the fuck up, and they’re right to do so.

To mark James Baldwin's birthday - he was born on this day in 1924 - a stunning portrait of the writer by Beauford Delaney. The two men were close, & Delaney painted many portraits of Baldwin

the only good dating advice is that you must learn to bear your suffering well. the reason most dating advice skews conservative is because it shares with conservatism the view that suffering should happen to other people

Mate this blows but I have found myself thinking more and more about how reductive it was to allow people to believe that personal responsibility is just a right-wing myth.

Don’t be a dick. And when you are a dick say “sorry I was a dick” and then go back to trying not to be a dick.

"Not optimistic, but hopeful" is something I've been saying quite a bit these last few months and it's a mindset I strongly recommend adopting.
Only by adopting an agile posture will you survive and be useful in doing so.

Some relatively normie friends were talking about it at brunch
My not super political sister just brought up how scary it is in the family group chat
Both my mom and my mother in law are not very politically engaged, but they are both angry and freaked out. I think a broader unrest about all of this is brewing.

Early on, one cellmate chided me for not making my bed. Don't prove them right. The addicts live like slobs--they couldn't help it--but we didn't have to. My survival strategy was to duck my head and not piss anyone off, so I made my bed to appease her.
