Just my random blog- nothing special. Nothing particular.

my life with ADHD

[mardu-mama]

This is very true and a great post.

But low key makes me think about how people with adhd have been raised their whole lives to value a day based on what they accomplished vs what they experienced

[thatgirlwithadhd]

I think your point is excellent. But also consider:

That list might say things like “Paint a picture. Go birdwatching. Finish that great novel I started reading. Call my grandma. Learn to bake a cake. Visit my sister. Play piano.”

For me at least, the good/fun things are harder without meds too. I can have the best intentions, but following through is hard.

[adhd-informative]

This addition is so important.

When watching a show YOU REALLY WANT TO feels like an over whelming obligation because you have to play attention and it’s just too much so you have to just curl up into a ball and feel bad instead.

I don’t know what we did to deserve Mr. Rogers but I’m so glad we had him.

please don’t forget about breonna taylor in all this. just because her death wasn’t caught on camera and thoughtlessly circulated doesn’t mean that her story is less important. black women’s lives matter.

[delgrosso]

It bears remembering that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” was the EXACT PHRASE used by racist Miami police chief Walter Headley in a famous news conference he gave in 1967 declaring a “get tough” policing policy in urban neighborhoods.

[afronerdism]

Stop erasing black women from the narrative of police brutality. We are not incidental victims. Say her name.

turning off your cell phone isn’t going to do what you want it to do

law enforcement can analyze your metadata, locate that disruption in your patterns, and use that to prosecute you later, if they choose. if you go out, if you protest, if you and others engage in disruptive events, consider leaving your phone at home and on, or with someone you trust to continue engaging in your patterns (texting, using social media, etc.) as another necessary step in covering your tracks and protecting yourself in the future.

if you have to communicate in the field, use prepaid, disposable phones that are not connected to you or people you know, or two-way radio. strictly speaking, though, its best not to communicate in any way other than directly while in the field. set up meet times and locations and organize movement directly.

in our times of big data, removing all evidence of involvement includes the creation of data. stay safe yall

The arsonist who set fire to the Autozone (video below) in Minneapolis has been identified as officer JACOB PEDERSON, a COP and NOT a protestor attending the Justice for George Floyd protests, by his ex wife. Pigs are framing arson on protestors demanding justice for the murder of an innocent Black man by killer cops.

KELESE on Twitter

“A bunch of undercover cops were the main ones starting the arsons!!!!!! Spread the word!!! https://t.co/eCBEAt9EOC”

[anarcho-gamerist]

Help spread the word!

[soul-hammered]

Look, arson against Autozone isn’t even that bad, but if it’s pigs framzing protestors, nvm

[livebloggingmydescentintomadness]

i just feel like you guys should see this thread about foxes

[elodieunderglass]

For some reason, when biologists want to describe “the assemblage of morphological features shared among many members of a phylum-level group” we say bauplan. Which is German for “body plan.” But even if you don’t speak German you say “bauplan” anyway. So this is a very hilarious Social Media Discourse from someone who has forgotten that the word “bauplan” is an instant giveaway that you are actually a biologist and that makes it fantastic it’s like when robots try to pretend that they’re human but better

“what if a fox was made of spaghetti”

[pugcrumbs]

People really underestimate this relationship and favor Katara’s grief over Aang so much that we never really get to see fan art of her and her brother. Ultimately, I feel like Sokka’s death had the potential to hurt her the most - especially if we consider that Aang could have died before him, and he was all she really had left. But that’s all speculative.

[Also, do not remove my artist comments/source and/or watermark. You will be reported, otherwise. Thanks!] @DeviantArt [x]

Can you guys reblog this one instead, cos it has my WM on it and also it’s on the new acct. thank.

Actual faith vs performative religion.

[bhujangan]

This is a highly personal decision that should have been between the Sikh doctors and the Guru (and if they’re initiated, between them and the Khalsa to an extent). It should not have been dragged into the public eye like it has and stories like this are being used to try to browbeat other Sikh health professionals taking new assignments and fighting for PPE that can accommodate their beards into shaving.

This should not be celebrated, but I hope everyone doing it anyway is also supporting organizations like the Sikh Doctors & Dental Association in the UK, Sikh Coalition in the US and WSO in Canada who are fighting to get PPE for Sikh doctors and protect them from discrimination in the workplace. This is a choice they never should have been forced to make and media coverage of what should have been a personal decision has set back the work Sikhs have made to get accommodations for facial hair by decades.

First flower ever grown in space bloomed today!

KIRK IS HOLDING A ZINNIA. THE SAME FUCKING FLOWER.

FUCKING NASA MAN

[lionescence]

No. Nononono. You don’t understand. 

I am so mad about this. Like, not like I wanna kill someone, but mad, as in, hysterical?

They wanted to answer questions about plants in space, right? How biology and botany would work in space. Because then who knows? We could grow crops in space, or fix the atmosphere. Or create the perfect biome for plants that are now extinct. Who fucking knows, right?

They could have taken a food crop. Wheat, maybe. Or rice. Something they could observe to see if it would be possible to solve a food shortage or whatever. Maybe a small apple tree to see if it would bloom, and then see if there could be a way to make it fruit. 

Or, you know, go the genetics route and take a sweet pea. See if zero gravity does anything to how genes are passed on. Mendel did it in a shed, why not a tin shed in outer space, right? Oh the possibilities.

Was it so wrong to take the zinnia? No, of course not. In my little horticultural brain, I thought, oh how lovely! A splash of colour in the emptiness of space. Something bright and cheerful, something that gives hope. That must have been it, right? 

But no. 

SOMEONE went, “Nah, mate, here’s an episode of Star Trek where Kirk is holding a ZINNIA in a SPACE DESERT.”

I could scream. I don’t know if I love or hate these fucking nerds. Oh my gods. 

[tree-of-blue-squirrel]

NASA, YOU NEEEEERDS

[mrs-spockulous]

love these NASA nerds 

[moons-and-magpies]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I WANT TO WORK THERE

[admiralkatcornwellfan]

NASA Nerds and Trekkies.. they are the same group more than you think. (*Also me even before I saw Kirk in this post* … wasn’t there an episode in TOS… ahhhh)

[alethiaii]

*gasp* Beautiful zinnia for the sunshine captain Kirk? 😍😍😍
