Dude, after a while of being ADHD and left to your own devices you eventually kind of learn how to deal through trial and error and when I tell you that i just came to the completely obvious epiphany that I can train myself to do the thing i want my brain to do if i just make it associate certain things with doing that thing

It’s like my brain is a lab rat and i am the scientist poking and prodding it trying to make it go in the right direction

So to all of you adhd mfs out there just trying to survive, remember to be a responsible scientist, that rat isn’t gonna brainwash itself

#rant #shhh #it makes sense

I’ve been back on tumblr not even a full week and I’ve already been reminded on multiple occasions why I left in the first place. This website is so toxic, everyone is constantly shouting at each other about why the other is wrong and they’re right and no one is actually talking to each other, having a conversation where you ask each other questions and learn from each other and maybe one or both of your perspectives change or maybe they both stay the same but you’ve connected with another person and taken the time to understand them. Problems aren’t solved by yelling, it just makes for an aggressive environment in which everyone immediately perceives any idea that conflicts with their own as a threat and works to destroy it at any cost. The whole point of society and advancement is to learn more and use that knowledge to improve upon ourselves. We can’t change other people and, unless they directly hurting themselves or others, we shouldn’t try to. You can’t force someone to see things your way, no matter how much you want to, so just focus on improving yourself, living your life, and enjoying the people around you that you do agree with and that you love and love you in return. Just focus on your own happiness and hope that everyone will follow your example.

I saw some James Webb Telescope scientists give a talk and one of them said this was her favorite image because she had waited and worked 25 years to see this.

don’t normally post things like this and I know I’ll lose some followers, but I want to spread this information so more people know.

tiktok moderation guidelines were leaked a few days ago and it was exposed that moderators were told to filter out (on the “for you” page) fat ppl, super skinny ppl, ppl w facial deformities, ugly ppl, ppl with dwarfism, elderly people, people with visible physical or mental disabilities, ppl with shabby clothes or living situations (”poor” ppl), “controversial” people (lgbt), or content supporting the “uglification” of history (large protests, criticisms of political figures, political movements, etc).

they claimed it was to stop bullying, but they later admitted it was to “beautify” their platform because ugly people won’t draw in new users, and that the guidelines were no longer in use. but there is evidence showing that the guidelines were still in place in December of 2019, so I seriously doubt they actually changed anything, and even if they did, the fact that those guidelines were in place at all is telling enough.

they allow tweens to dance almost-naked on camera on a platform with a large adult userbase and videos of animal abuse to be on the For You page but being ugly is a step too far?? are you kidding me?? tiktok even had an “ugly” filter for a while which directly made fun of people who looked a certain way. and they claim their moderation guidelines were an attempt to stop bullying?

anyway. I’m surprised nobody is talking about it so I’m pulling an “old man yells at cloud” abt it

White people at it again. The Flayed Lord’s name is Xipe Totec, he’s one of the main dieties in Aztec culture. He is primarily associated with fertility and agriculture, and is strongly connected to renewal and rebirth (the flayed aspect is supposed to symbolize how corn, a major crop, sheds it’s outer layers). Aside from that, we know *very* little about mesoamerican cultures. What we do know mainly comes from retellings and accounts from Spanish conquerors, who of course had a biased perspective. Finding a new temple is a huge deal, because when the Spanish were systematically wiping out our culture, they made a point to build churches over preexisting temples and shrines. A lot of the churches are still there, but the Mexican government considers them historical buildings, and as such no one is allowed to dig under the churches or excavate the area. There are countless temples we haven’t seen because they’re under these churches. Finding a temple we can actually study is such a big deal!

This reporter’s reaction to Donald Trump shitting all over the most obvious softball question is my new most favorite thing of ever.

Whitehouse correspondents are some of the ballsiest people in the world especially in this day and age.

Imagine. Your job is to sit in front of the most powerful man in the country if not the world and interrogate him on national tv in front of god and everyone. And that man is both an idiot and hates everyone in your profession.

This guy probably went to college for journalism and clawed his way up through the industry for years to get to the point where he can be a whitehouse correspondent and is putting himself and potentially his coworkers and family in danger of being infected because he’s gotta leave the house every day to interrogate the people who work in the executive branch and report back to his news agency because that’s his frickin job even with confirmed cases on Capitol Hill. And then he asks a baseline simple question and the president calls him stupid.

What. Other response is there other than that? My god. I am just… so sorry for reporters during this time.
