Very Curious

52 year old Hoosier gold star gay widower. I'm curious about a lot of things. I have no desire to change my orientation or get any one pregnant. Other than that, let me know if you think I might be interested in something.

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.

You have no idea how pleased I am that more and more people are accepting the healthy middle ground between the equally unhealthy "I must be able to do things normally or else" and "I am neurodivergent so there is no hope for me."

Accommodating my ADHD is an ongoing process because discovering where those problems are is an ongoing process. But the minute I have even one thing on lock, it helps me start hunting down those other things and fixing them.

(Also Bird's Eye steamfresh bags are a godsend, especially the ones that have pasta or rice included.)

[whatbigotspost]

This advice is excellent and applicable for lots of neurotypical folks too!

I didn’t understand my adhd until way late in life but everything I’ve ever done that I thought I had figured out a hack for adulting has turned out to be adhd coping skills I stumbled into.

[roach-works]

overworking and undersleeping makes even the most normal people start to break down and show the same dysfunctions adhd and autistic people deal with regularly: memory and focus issues, problems regulating emotions and coping with sensory overload, difficulty with time and resource management.

if you're dealing with long hours and little rest, or illness, or grief, or school, or shitty parents or awful coworkers, you deserve to make things easier on yourself.

[dyspunktional-leviathan]

Also important note: you deserve to make things easier on yourself no matter what, you are not "not suffering enough to deserve that" no matter what.

It’s mind blowing just how much this is NOT why america supports and funds israel holy shit. do these people just regurgitate whatever they read on tumblr

[curiousgayus]

Actually, for a lot of conservative Christians this is exactly why they want to fund Israel. Also they can accuse others of anti-Semitism because we don't support the government of Israel and lockstep, And therefore distract from their own anti-Semitism

[throathole]

Don’t call yourself a bottom if you don’t eat your top’s ass too

[curiousgayus]

And don't call yourself the top if you don't eat the bottoms ass. Just spitting on the hole and shoving it in is not good.

Oh they mean a service desk! I thought they meant like, a tally. Like you get off the plane and go ask for help because you're in the wrong country and a big publically displayed counter labelled PASSENGERS WHO CAN'T FIND THE KANGAROOS ticks up one more number.

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

[aquilegiaformosa]

it’s becoming clearer that “being fat makes you diabetic” is actually misapplied observation and like, backwards cause and effect. insulin resistance is the main factor in type 2 diabetes. it was thought being fat made you insulin resistant. turns out it’s the other way round; insulin resistance causes the body to store fat at a greater rate. like yes, once the weight is gained it can then contribute more to resistance and things can snowball, but the initiating factor is not being fat.

[curiousgayus]

#My late partner was overweight and every time we went to a new doctor they couldn't believe he didn't have diabetes and he got tested and he never did.

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

It doesn’t matter if I “get” your identity - I will support you regardless because I trust that you get your own identity. 

Maybe I don’t really understand everything you go through or can’t relate to your feelings. So what? You know yourself better than I ever could. When you say you are this or might be that, I believe you. I don’t need to understand it to stand by you. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

'They will pay': Trump shares social media threat as his lawyer argues gag order is unfair

A judge's gag order on former President Donald Trump was issued in his case for crimes related to his attempt to undo his election loss to

Former President Donald Trump reposted a social media threat by a former official in his administration,

Monica Crowley in the Truth Social post wrote that people who “framed Trump ... will pay.”

Trump shared Crowley’s message as his attorney argued to a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., that he should not be subject to a gag order in his criminal election interference case there.

Trump is charged with crimes related to his effort to undo his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.

[curiousgayus]

I still don't get this. If there was anybody else who was under criminal indictment that was threatening or disparaging a person who wasn't the judge in the courtroom, they'd have their ass in jail. They wouldn't be given a "please don't say nasty things about people who are just doing their job. And please don't incite others to attack them.".
