twitter update! Joan is at the hospital. ahhh im really worried, but im sure they’ll be fine!
Hey everyone, I know we have a very high anxiety group so a couple things to remember:
If Joan doesn’t have a primary care physician, which many people do not, the ER would be the easiest and fastest way to get treated.
Even if they do have a regular doctor, it is after 7pm in Florida, so the office would be closed.
Emergency rooms get hyped up quite a lot in movies and TV, but they are actually generally pretty calm places. The worst part about them is waiting to be seen, because it can take awhile.
Joan has very good friends with them and is in very good hands (we know Thomas wouldn’t let anything happen to them!)
They are most likely playing it safe by going, which is a good thing. Hopefully they will be able to get treatment and feel better very quickly by taking this step.
I know we are all worried, but please do not bombard Thomas with all-caps messages about being worried about Joan. We know Thomas does not react well to these things (remember Irma) and while it’s fine to be worried, remember Thomas is going to be worried already. If you send Thomas messages, please try to keep them positive and uplifting!
All my thoughts and good vibes to Joan and co!! Here’s hoping they feel better soon!
this is a great addition thanks! 💛

ALWAYS REBLOG WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS PLEASE; ITS SO MUCH MORE THAN IMPORTANT TO PEOPLE. IT MEANS EVERYTHING TO SOMEBODY AND EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT NOT SEE THIS IN THE SAME LIGHT, SOMEONE MIGHT. INFACT YOU REBLOGGING THIS COULD STOP SOMEONE TAKING THEIR LIFE TONIGHT.
Forever reblog
if you give me a task with no deadline i will literally never do it but if you give me a deadline i will get it done exactly 1 hour before the deadline even if the deadline is in six years
#this is ADHD#or possibly another executive function disorder but ADHD is the only one I really know about#the reason for this is an ADHD brain does not have an internal feedback system#ADHD brains require external input to make up for missing executive functions#like the ability to process multi-step tasks with delayed consequences#because to an ADHD brain#things don’t exist in the absence of consequences#meaning#people with ADHD are drawn to things like video games because the feedback is external and immediate#every action you take has an immediate effect on the game environment#and you can SEE that your actions are providing xp or moving a task towards completion#but for something like homework#the consequences of that homework being done do not exist until that homework must be turned in#and it’s either done or not done at that point#which is why people with ADHD function best closest to deadlines#the consequences of that work being done must be IMMEDIATE to compel the brain to see it as a task that requires completion#because the further out a task is from the consequences of it being done#the more an ADHD brain is incapable of acknowledging it#TASKS DO NOT EXIST TO YOU UNLESS THERE IS IMMEDIATE EXTERNAL FEEDBACK#THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WITH ADHD BECAUSE TO OTHER PEOPLE IT DOES LOOK LIKE LAZINESS#BUT A LAZY PERSON JUST WOULDN’T DO THE TASK AT ALL#AND ADHD PERSON STRESSES THEMSELVES HALF TO DEATH TO GET THINGS DONE#BUT ISN’T CAPABLE OF STARTING THEM EARLIER TO PREVENT THE STRESS#BECAUSE THE TASK DOES NOT EXIST UNTIL IT NEEDS TO BE EITHER DONE OR NOT DONE#IT’S KIND OF LIKE SCHRODINGER’S BOX#THE TASK DOESN’T HAVE TO BE DONE OR NOT DONE UNTIL THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR ITS STATE OF COMPLETION#so what LOOKS like laziness to other people#is actually a VERY SERIOUS FAILURE of the brain’s executive function system#which is a VERY serious medical problem#the name ‘Attention Deficit Disorder’ really fails to sell how serious the disorder actually is via @thecuckoohaslanded
god dammit my tags got cut off AGAIN I’m hitting the tag limit on like every post lately, I really need to work on that
Anyway I went on to say that there are 5 major executive functions of the human brain. These are the ‘higher functions’ that really distinguish between a human brain and that of any other animal. We have added intelligence on top of that, but these are the functional abilities our brains have that the rest of the animal kingdom does not have on a a structural level. There are 5 of them. ADHD affects all 5. And none of them are actually ‘attention’ (the closest function to anything that can reasonably be called ‘attention’ is what’s called Working Memory, which is your brain’s ability to hold a specific task in mind to come back to it; distractions are inevitable, but a healthy brain will hear a phone ring, look up, and remember to go back to what it was doing before. An ADHD brain will hear the phone riBANG ALL MEMORY OF THE CURRENT TASK IS GONE. ADHD brain looks up, sees the name on the caller id, oh it’s an unknown number, oh it’s probably some political pollster, oh man this year’s election is just awful I can’t believe people are supporting that angry cheeto. Oh cheetos I’m hungry I should go make a snack. What kind of snacks do we have? Did I remember to buy cereal at the store the other day? What about dog food? Oh my god I forgot to let the dog back in the house this is why I should have gotten a cat. Oh my friend sent me a great cat video earlier I should watch that. AND GUESS WHAT YOU NEVER GO BACK TO WHAT YOU WERE DOING BECAUSE THE STRUCTURE IN YOUR BRAIN THAT SUPPORTS RETURNING TO A PARTIALLY COMPETED TASK DOES NOT EXIST THE WAY IT DOES FOR A NORMAL HEALTHY BRAIN. This is why even if you start a task well before a deadline you can’t keep to it until it’s been completed; the consequences of it being done MUST be more compelling than everything else in the immediate environment for the brain to see it. No matter how much time you give yourself to complete the task, if you have ADHD it will take you 100% of that time, every time, which is why having ADHD actually TEACHES YOU to put things off, because it’s the only way to shorten the total time actually spent completing the task – the disorder rewards you for self-destructive behavior because it’s the only way you can get things done at all, and you end up living in a permanent state of extreme stress, hopping from one emergency deadline to the next even though you hate yourself for it every single time). The disorder has been horribly named in a way that trivializes just how serious and life-ruining it actually is.
ADHD is a very, very serious disorder and the pop psych/common understanding of it makes it seem HORRIBLY trivial compared to the real damage it actually does to people’s lives.
…

…ohhh…
This is both fascinating and… possibly slightly alarming.
@birbhubby this is really interesting reading.
I’m reblogging this again with a couple of book recs because I’m seeing a lot of people having lightbulb moments on my dash.
You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Crazy, or Stupid? - One of the oldest books on ADHD/ADD in adults and a classic.
Driven to Distraction - Another classic and a great place to start.
Make sure you pick up the latest editions since our understanding of ADHD/ADD has changed a lot since those were first published.
If anyone needs further books recs or help finding specific resources, feel free to IM me or send me an ask. I’m not totally up to date on current stuff, but I’ve had my diagnoses for almost 30 years and totally count as experienced old fart now. XD
no offense but im going to get better and im taking all of you up with me

DT makes second visit to Texas, meets with storm survivors.
White House is requesting more than $14 billion for Harvey relief. It is up to Congress to approve the proposal.
In response to North Korea’s test of what it says was a hydrogen bomb, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley says the country is “begging for war.”
Justice Department says there is no evidence that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.
DT is considering pulling out of a major trade agreement with South Korea.
DT’s nominee to fill the USDA chief scientist position is not actually a scientist.

HOW THE FUCK DID IT GOT THERE
The mom is so pissed
The mom is like I told yo stupid ass not to go over there but look what your stupid ass did
poor lil wobbly legs wanted to be a flower
how the frick are those noises even real
i found the original facebook post, here are some facts:
the baby alpaca was only a week old
this is from a farm in wisconsin
what happened is: she was taking a dust bath and fell into a badger hole
what caught the farmer’s attention was the entire herd of alpacas surrounding the hole, which is about a mile out in the field
the poor girl was in the hole for hours and was entirely underground when they found her
people apparently use “city slicker” as an insult unironically, as evidenced by the comment section
textbook prices are homophobic
hello friend, if you don’t mind electronic versions of textbooks and committing minor acts of piracy, might i direct your attention to this website where I’ve been able to find a copy of every textbook I’ve needed, I haven’t paid for a textbook since 2014. that website is a true ally to the gays
i hope you know i love you
