Hi! Sorry to bother if you get this message all the time. I’ve searched and found that you have a copy of Beamirang’s Star Trek fics. Would you be willing to share it with me? If you’re not anymore, I understand! I’ve tried to copy it off of the internet archive but don’t think I have it all.

Half related - I’ve been scouring the internet for a Bones centric fic that I loved but can’t find anymore. What I remember is that he is either sick or injured, and the result is he is in a coma for a prolonged period of time and they have to do brain surgery. But turns out his own research is helpful for helping him heal. Do you have an idea to what it could be? TRULY no worries if you have no idea what this one is, I’ll just keep searching😂. THANK YOU! And I hope you have a great upcoming week.

Hey! Yes, I absolutely can share that with you. PM me! As for the second fic, idk but maybe someone else does! Guys?

ask game time!

26. do you make a list before going to the grocery or wing it?

6. What's your favourite minimal-effort recipe?

26. Usually wing it to some extent, but I usually go for a few specific items and then get sidetracked along the way.

6. You have to trust me on this one, ok? It's going to sound insane but it's like one of my favorite foods ever. Boil frozen chicken breasts until cooked through. Then take them out and cut them into bite sized pieces. Put those pieces in a fry pan with a little olive oil and drizzle Karo Syrup over the top. Saute until a little crispy and golden brown. Chef's kiss.

Alternatively? Cream peas and potatoes slaps. 2 Tblsp butter, 2 Tblsp flour. Mix over low to medium heat until combined. Add 1 cup water, cold, all at once. Cook until thickened, add salt to taste. Mix in peas (fresh or frozen) and serve over mashed potatoes.

i'm eating the chicken breast recipe rn and you're so right. Definitely a trust the process but it's amazing

[beauty-grace-outer-space]

Right??? Like it sounds *crazy* but it winds up a little crunchy a little sweet... It's so good!

You can also use agave syrup, maple syrup, etc.

In hindsight it's very insulting to be told that flunking out of college due to adhd is actually "quite common"

[revacholianrobot]

just like, if there's a history at your institution of disabled kids not being able to make it you realise that's your fault right. like why don't you fucking do something about it. i guess they tried to do something about it with me and it failed so they let me go. crazy. nice work. why should we try to do any better.

[yourheartinyourmouth]

only 5% of people with adhd who go to college finish a degree. FUCKING. FIVE!!! PERCENT!!!!!!!!!!!

that should disgust and enrage you.

if any other demographic of students had a 95% failure rate, we would be demanding reform and studies to understand why that’s happening

when i was at my first university, trying to get accommodations for my ADHD, they just kept asking me what accommodations i wanted, and refused to answer when i would ask what was available to me. how the Hell am i supposed to know what i can have? what’s available???? also, i don’t know!!!! i’m an adhd sufferer, not a fucking disability expert for the fucking college, unlike you, DISABILITY EXPERT WHO WORKS FOR THE COLLEGE.

but because the us is OBSESSED with making sure no one gets anything “”for free””, she literally would not tell me what my options were until i broke down in tears and asked her why she was refusing to help me. and then she did a big sigh, like i was fucking up her entire career by *checks notes* asking the disability center in my university to help me, a disabled student

at the second uni i went to, i tried to explain to a dean that i was literally two gen eds that had nothing to do with my degree away from graduating and that i was burnt out and broke and exhausted and suicidal and i just needed to be able to finish my degree without the gen eds. and this. fucking. guy. looked me right in my face and said in the most patronizing tone he could muster “if you can’t handle it, then maybe college just isn’t for you.” keep in mind that up until that semester, i had been an honor student who made Dean’s List every semester and didn’t get below Bs. if it hadn’t been for my mental breakdown, i would have graduated cum laude, maybe even summa cum laude.

but this dean of students looked a disabled person right in the face and said well i guess you just can’t do it, short bus

Pulled these from a couple articles really quick but yeah the statistics are not kind. I remember writing a scathing essay about my issues with ADHD and college as part of an assignment for academic probation. I got back an email calling me entitled and lazy. Somehow, this thread helps me feel a lot better. I still have about a semester of school unfinished that I’m unsure if I’ll finish but… yeah. Makes me feel better to know it’s not just me.

PSA: The Job Accommodation Network maintains a searchable database of accommodation suggestions for a wide variety of disabilities.

The full database can be accessed here and the ADHD page is here. The full database can be filtered by disability, by limitation, by work-related function, by topic, and by accommodation. Many of these accommodations are applicable to academic settings as well as the workplace.

Here are the section headers for ADHD accommodations ideas to give an overview of what the page contains - this post would become Do You Love the Color of the Accommodation if I attempted to list them all here

The ADHD page linked above also includes case examples and strategies for determining what sort of accommodations might be necessary. More broadly, the JAN website as a whole is a treasure trove of information related to the Americans with Disabilities Act and resources for both individuals and employers.

[trambrosia]

Oh fuck that's really nice, I will read it

Also just heard a podcast interview with a software developer who had good suggestions

Being a developer with ADHD

Do you feel like ADHD is holding you back? Maybe you don't personally have ADHD but you work with folks who do and you'd like to support the

[dandelionsresilience]

The head of disability accommodations at my college just kept ablesplaining to me that “accommodations are to level the playing field, not give you an advantage,” and that her job is to “protect the school’s rights” rather than help disabled students. The only accommodations they would offer me were 1. extra time on tests, and 2. an alternative test-taking location - neither of which I needed. I ended up getting (most of) what I actually needed by unofficially asking the individual professors, but it should have been legally protected.

[sarroth]

Job Accommodation Network?! Filters to find what might actually help? Shit that organization rocks.

Helping people is certainly @wholesomepostarchive right?! This makes my day.
