TIL that on 23 March 2178 CE, Pluto will complete one full orbit since its discovery so I'm not sure how far ahead tumblr lets you queue posts but if it lets you go that far we should all queue up posts for that day wishing Pluto a happy birthday

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

you live here

[thejagermeister]

the curse of local theatre is that a show can change you forever and there is no recording of it anywhere at all and after a few years all you have are scattered memories and the knowledge that you were different before.

TODAY is the day you can see me playing this iconic, classic vampire, “Count Orlok” in David Lee Fisher’s NOSFERATU: A SYMPHONY OF HORROR on AppleTV AND ALSO available on Amazon Prime. A delicious mix of us new actors combined with the original 1922 film atmosphere. (NOT TO BE CONFUSED with the other Nosferatu coming to theaters in December). .

the price of life, and all that

[rpfofficial]

before you speak, THINK:

is it TRANSSEXUAL?

is it HERESY?

is it INCONSIDERATE?

is it NEURODIVERGENT?

is it KILLING SOMEONE?
