ADHD Community

I created a website which I am hoping will turn into a safe community for people with ADHD. 

https://www.adultwithadhdblog.com

You have the option to ask for advice or offer any advice you have, there is a safe space for infodumping and hyperfixations. There is a personal blog in which I will sometimes write. We can create a community in which people who share the same struggles can share their experiences without that feeling of otherness.  Edit: I have now added a chat option on the website (god, I hope it’s good lol)!

This is the living proof that white supremacy is an international system that tries not only to normalize its’ own values and make it dominant in the world but also tries to marginalize everything that doesn’t fit preferences of white supremacists. That’s how you can easily spot them – they don’t like unfamiliar and unaccustomed names, words, looks and call it “strange”, “confusing”, “not normal” and so on.

The British Museum has within its halls some of the greatest works of art in the world. The British stole nearly all of them, and won’t return the ones whose home nations have asked for them back.

The advice I got from my Model UN instructors on how to prepare for my first debate was “have fun and be confident”

I feel like adhd bored is different than neurotypical bored because like. You don’t understand. I have a billion things I could be doing. I turn on the tv. I stare at the Netflix screen for five minutes. Flip through shows and movies for the next thirty minutes. Nothing looks good. I put in a video game. Play for two minutes. Not feeling it. I load up YouTube. Watch half a video before closing the app. Maybe I’ll read a book? I stare at my giant bookshelf. The thought of starting a new book seems too hard. I lay in bed and play phone games for six hours. Nothing has gotten done. Still bored.

I feel like a better term for this experience is “restless.” 

Sometimes nothing sounds good; I have a specific experiential craving or itch that needs to be scratched but I don’t know what it is or how to placate it so I will rapidly cycle through activities in search of something that will provide the level/type of stimulation I crave. Like a tiger pacing in the zoo. 

[headspace-hotel]

It’s a really bad, unbearably vibratey itchy feeling. A craving for relief that takes too great a mental effort to overcome.

It can be physical too…sometimes if I don’t walk/pace it feels like my bones are squiggly and it’s as unpleasant as it sounds

This. Someone put this into words.

Steve Rogers did, in fact, realize that something was off when he saw the outline of the woman’s odd bra (a push-up bra, he would later learn), but being an officer and a gentleman, he said that it was the game that gave the future away.

No, see, this scene is just amazing. The costume department deserves so many kudos for this, it’s unreal, especially given the fact that they pulled off Peggy pretty much flawlessly.

1) Her hair is completely wrong for the 40’s. No professional/working woman  would have her hair loose like that. Since they’re trying to pass this off as a military hospital, Steve would know that she would at least have her hair carefully pulled back, if maybe not in the elaborate coiffures that would have been popular.

2) Her tie? Too wide, too long. That’s a man’s tie, not a woman’s. They did, however, get the knot correct as far as I can see - that looks like a Windsor.

3) That. Bra. There is so much clashing between that bra and what Steve would expect (remember, he worked with a bunch of women for a long time) that it has to be intentional. She’s wearing a foam cup, which would have been unheard of back then. It’s also an exceptionally old or ill-fitting bra - why else can you see the tops of the cups? No woman would have been caught dead with misbehaving lingerie like that back then, and the soft satin cups of 40’s lingerie made it nearly impossible anyway. Her breasts are also sitting at a much lower angle than would be acceptable in the 40’s.

Look at his eyes. He knows by the time he gets to her hair that something is very, very wrong.

so what you are saying is S.H.E.I.L.D. has a super shitty costume division….

Nope, Nick Fury totally did this on purpose.

There’s no knowing what kind of condition Steve’s in, or what kind of person he really is, after decades of nostalgia blur the reality and the long years in the ice (after a plane crash and a shitload of radiation) do their work. (Pre-crash Steve is in lots of files, I’m sure. Nick Fury does not trust files.) So Fury instructs his people to build a stage, and makes sure that the right people put up some of the wrong cues.

Maybe the real Steve’s a dick, or just an above-average jock; maybe he had a knack for hanging out with real talent. Maybe he hit his head too hard on the landing and he’s not gonna be Captain anymore. On the flipside, if he really is smart, then putting him in a standard, modern hospital room and telling him the truth is going to have him clamming up and refusing to believe a goddamn thing he hears for a really long time.

The real question here is, how long it does it take for the man, the myth, the legend to notice? What does he do about it? How long does he wait to get his bearings, confirm his suspicions, and gather information before attempting busting out?

Turns out the answer’s about forty-five seconds.

Also, I know you can’t see her legs here, but watching the scene it looks like she’s either wearing pantyhose or isn’t wearing anything, and that’s pretty much a double red flag.

Pantyhose didn’t exist until 1959, a good fourteen years after Steve puts the plane down (assuming he does so in 1945). Before pantyhose, women wore stockings that came up to mid-thigh and usually had a seam running up the back of the leg. Since stockings were made of either silk, rayon, or nylon, they were almost impossible to buy during WWII because the materials were needed to make things like parachutes, bandages, and tents.

Because of this, women would only wear stockings on special occasions to make them last as long as possible. Women would instead stain their legs to make it look like they were wearing stockings and draw a “seam” up the backs of their legs; many makeup companies actually started making leg makeup that came in different colors for different skin tones to meet the demand.

In short, no sensible woman in World War II is going to waste her stockings on work. And if she’s not wearing pantyhose, going bare-legged without trying to hide the fact you’re bare-legged is also a red flag.
