THE GRINCH WAS REALLY OUT HERE WITH HIS GRUSSY OUT

[lizardho]

I remember one time I was doing an ADHD evaluation with a kid who had asked to go to the bathroom like 3 times during the 30-ish minute part of the interview where we asked his mom questions, so I knew that was his go-to excuse when bored. We get started on the WISC-V after the interview and within 30 seconds of vocab starting he asks if he can go to the bathroom, and I say:

“No.”

And this kid rolls his eyes because DUH and he says “Why not?” all cranky-styles, so I said

“Because you don’t need to go to the bathroom, you’re bored and you need to move. If you need to move, tell me and I’ll let you know if we’re at a part of the test where we can pause. Like, for example, we can pause right now if you wanna race me around the building.”

And this kids face fucken LIT up. We did three laps around the outside of the building and came back in and he finished like 3 subtests and asked if he could move so we got up and tried to see how high we could jump for 3 minutes and the finished the rest of the assessment with one bathroom break. And that was all it took tbh, this kid was SO capable he just needed to move and hadn’t been allowed to do so before. I also like making people mad by pointing out that I know what they’re up to, then just giving them permission to do the thing they were sneakily trying to do in the first place. It’s like being affectionately annoying and it’s part of how I connect to others.

can i be a hater for a second. i think everyone’s new year’s resolution should be to reblog more art

[thinkingabout-girls]

btw art does not just mean drawings. reblog drawings and gif sets and fics and meta and edits and moodboards and anything else i may have missed. reblog people’s creations

[leviathan-supersystem]

internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing

One of life's great ironies is that almost everyone who makes the active decision to not have kids would probably be way better at raising a child than all the people who just kind of have children because it's what they think everyone is supposed to do

[setulose]

Like genuinely if you're like "I don't want kids because of the financial strain/the commitment/the irritation I would feel/the possibility of traumatizing them/whatever reason" you instantly demonstrate to me that you 1) understand the realities of parenthood and 2) believe that children should be treated with at least a base level of respect and compassion. Meanwhile everyone who's like "I want kids because I don't want to be alone" "I can't wait to dress up my babies" "I won't raise my children to be soft" may as well be talking about Neopets for all the fucks they seem to give about kids

i love it when people use the phrase 'biblically accurate' to describe things that most certainly were not in the bible. "biblically accurate hatsune miku" i don't know if that's true but i am enchanted by the beautiful world you have invented

Something nobody told me about caffeine is that you can get withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it

Like

I went from consuming NO caffeine, to slowly escalating to around 150-300mg of caffeine a day to keep up with sleep issues, to suddenly stopping cold turkey when I flew out to the middle of nowhere and couldn’t get more and it was straight up a solid 5-6 days of thinking I had the flu

Nausea, spins, major fatigue, and some seriously heinous headaches

It was so bad that after two weeks without I swore I’d never pick up an energy drink again and made an appointment with a doctor to fix my sleep issues

Like. Not to be all “oooooh your body is a temple” but if I knew quitting CAFFEINE had similar effects as running out of my prescription meds I might have been a bit more careful drinking it in the first place

[existennialmemes]

I'm sorry. My soapbox has been activated.

Caffeine is a

Drug

And don't get me wrong, I love drugs. I think they're rad. I think there should be fewer barriers between most drugs and adults using them.

However, something that I think is fundamentally immoral is giving someone a drug without telling them:

That it's a drug

What the full possible effects of the drug are including side effects

What the withdrawal effects are like

And society treats caffeine like it's not a drug. We act like it's not a stimulant. We sell it on street corners. We sell in schools, to children.

We don't tell you what the withdrawals are like. We don't even acknowledge that there will be any, even though they can be severe.

In addition to what OP listed, other possible withdrawal symptoms include:

Hand Tremors

Anxiety

Irritability

Brain Fog

Low Mood

Insomnia (yes, counterintuitive as it may seem this is common withdrawal symptom)

Muscle Pain/Stiffness

Caffeine is a stimulant drug that causes physical dependency quite rapidly. The withdrawal symptoms can persist for days to months.

I reiterate that I think drugs are cool. I'm drinking a caffeinated beverage as I type this. But I feel strongly that we should treat drugs like they're drugs. We should not pretend that the legality of a substance negates its status as A Drug™

[kyraneko]

All things are coolest when they're used wisely and with understanding.

This is another place we hide all the "nobody used to have ADHD" people, like yeah, sure, nobody had ADHD because they used to self-medicate with a pack of cigarettes and three pots of coffee a day! It is maybe actually safer to hand out the regulated and dosed amphetamines to people who need them!
