remember when snl played a large part in normalizing trump when he hosted before the 2016 election?? and how years later it still stands out as a massive mistake on their part bc it made him seem harmless when we know he wasn’t? anyway that’s what I’m thinking about rn with elon musk hosting tonight

“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter

genuinely terrifying how adhd will have you be fully aware of the responsibilities you’re neglecting and yet its like you’re being piloted by a super chill hedonistic demon who can’t hear you/doesnt care

“We need to get this paperwork done yesterday, its REALLY important”

“Brah. I feel you but like, you’re harshing my mellow, can’t work with a harshed mellow”

Also the key difference between this and “laziness” is that it doesn’t corelate whatsoever to the difficulty of a task. the thing you’re supposed to do can be easy or even fun and putting it off can feel miserable and even painful. You can sit there feeling sore and sick from not getting up yet and your body still sits in place. You can hate the tv series you put on and keep clicking “next episode.” Sometimes what you needed to do was make one phone call and instead you do grueling yard work or household cleaning for hours that didn’t need done thinking about the phone call until it’s too late to do it.

One of the more rage-inducing things neurotypicals do is spend years drilling it into you to pay attention to what’s being implied instead of only what’s stated, but if you start to develop that skill and use it to point out when they’re being subtly shitty to you, they react like you’re just making shit up to slander them, doesn’t matter how thoughtfully you explain how you got to that conclusion, doesn’t matter how much benefit of the doubt you give them, the only response they will ever give is "but I did not say those literal exact words so obviously I could not have meant or been thinking anything like that. Stop putting words in my mouth"

[thatautisticadhdfeel]

They THOUGHT they wanted me to read between the lines and understand what they weren’t saying, but then they realized that what they actually wanted was for me for to simply behave in the ways they expected without having to communicate those expectations to me.

Understanding leads to opinion having, and they never like it when I have opinions on How They Do Things.

“As workers, most men in our culture (like working women) are controlled, dominated. Unlike working women, working men are fed daily a fantasy diet of male supremacy and power. In actuality, they have very little power, and they know it. Yet they do not rebel against the economic order or make revolution. They are socialized by ruling powers to accept their dehumanization and exploitation in the public world of work, and they are taught to expect that the private world, the world of home and intimate relationships, will restore to them their sense of power, which they equate with masculinity. They are taught that they will be able to rule in the home, to control and dominate, that this is the big payoff for their acceptance of an exploitative economic social order. By condoning and perpetuating male domination of women to prevent rebellion on the job, ruling male capitalists ensure that male violence will be expressed in the home and not in the work force.”

“The woman who checks her makeup half a dozen times a day to see if her foundation has caked or her mascara has run, who worries that the wind or the rain may spoil her hairdo, who looks frequently to see if her stockings have bagged at the ankle or who, feeling fat, monitors everything she eats, has become, just as surely as the inmate of the Panopticon, a self-policing subject, a self committed to a relentless self-surveillance. This self-surveillance is a form of obedience to patriarchy. It is also the reflection in woman’s consciousness of the fact that she is under surveillance in ways that he is not, that whatever else she may become, she is importantly a body designed to please or to excite.”

No but moralizing about how you don’t deserve the vaccine yet is greatly reducing vaccination numbers it’s not your job to worry about if you’re “stealing” a vaccine from someone else there is a National supply and when it’s your turn it’s your turn. Refusing to get vaccinated is not going to magically vaccinate a bed bound rural person. It’s just going to get vaccine doses thrown in the garbage. God.

[normal-with-adhd-is-a-joke]

Every vaccine dose ups our herd immunity.  Every vaccine dose potentially frees up treatment for other people who might need it.  Get the vaccine!  There’s no “selfish” reason to protect yourself and everyone else from a deadly virus.
