ppl don’t understand adhd/autistic cleaning processes. we think so far ahead it’s like,,, impossible to do shit. you want me to vaccuum my bedroom floor? okay. we need to pick up all the stuff thats on it first, though. and where are we going to put the stuff? well, theres a couple categories of Stuff- Clothes, Random Items, and Trash. Trash is easy, we just throw it away. Clothes have to be sorted into Clean, Not Clean- and then the not clean ones have to go in the laundry bag, but theres so many so i might have to start a load now- ugh, distracted. lets go back to the clean clothes. well, these go in my drawer but- my drawer is really disorganized, so i’ll have to organize the clothes first so that theyll fit and look neat. by the time i’m done with that, i’ve spent an hour and a half trying to do stuff in my room. i finally turn to random items, most of which can find a home on my desk, but others i dont really know what to do with. plus, my desk is dirty. so i have to organize my desk, figure out where everything goes, and the stuff that doesn’t have a place can go in… a box, i guess. (not like i don’t have three other boxes full of random stuff in my closet) so i put all the items back up but now i have this box full of stuff i dont know if i need so i have to go through it, sorting it into donate and dont donate piles. i might as well throw in some clothes to, so i dig through my clothes drawer and get the clothes i dont want, throw them in there too. okay, back to the random items- the ones i dont want to donate are still here, so i have to put them somewhere. i dont have anywhere to put them- maybe i should get a shelf? i start googling shelves, figuring out which ones would be best for my room, debating prices, learning about installation, and eventually im like ‘well, already on my computer’ and i decide im going to ‘check’ social media and end up lost in it for an hour or so. you walk back in, and theres stuff all over the floor, albeit in bags and boxes, and it still hasnt been vacuumed. its been five hours since i started. how does it take five hours to clean your room? it just does.

I developed a cleaning system for my very very disabled brother when we were little that I’ve since found many relevant researches for how this kind of split and sorting of tasks works best for people with executive function problems, like ADHD and depression and even just general procrastinators full of anxiety.

Steps to clean a room. 1) remove dishes and food and NOTHING ELSE from the room you are cleaning. Put them in the sink or dishwasher. Always do rot first for illness/safety reasons (you may not be that gross but hey, if you forget it might get foul.)

2) get a garbage bag/can and go through the room. Anything garbage, chuck, anything else that is out of place (not where it belongs) put in a pile in the center of the room or area.

3) Clean with cleaners/machines any foul or safety tasks. Wet puddles. Mildew. A stick ring from a soda can. A buildup of visible dust (allergens) under something.

4) sort the pile of stuff into where it goes (bathroom, laundry, kitchen, bedroom, etc) and then take all of the stuff for one room in one trip.

5) and last or holistic cleaning left over (vacuuming, mopping, surface disinfecting etc.)

tada! The most important thing about this is that it sets a priority order to tasks, namely anything that if you forget for a while could damage your health a surroundings (a bowl of food) over something clutter but safe (your notebooks or laundry). So if depresso you almost never manages to get past step 2 but once a month, yes, your house is cluttered, but it’s not actively harming you. And when you can get things done, it helps focus tasks and combine them so it doesn’t take ten years because you make a separate trip + distractions for every single pen you find in your home. If ADHD brain doesn’t remember what you were doing, that’s fine, it’s visually obvious when you come back to it, very easy to pick up where you left off.

Good luck, brain wranglers!

Wait what happened

supreme-leader-stoat

Remember when those two cops pushed over that old man and then just kept walking as he lay on the sidewalk unconscious and bleeding? Well, they got suspended. But then, then, 57 members of their squad resigned from their Emergency Response Team posts “in disgust,“ not because of what those cops did, but explicitly because they faced consequences for doing it.

butmuhgains

Technically they resigned because the police union said they would stop protecting them in court for war crimes brutality charges, not solidarity

not sure if that’s better tho

“I quit because I’m not going to be legally protected for murdering the people I’m supposed to serve” isn’t the win they think it is

Queer Pride has a Black history, Queer Pride is pride in our Black heroes, Queer Pride is pride in diversity and a collective effort to end oppressive forces...

and y'all better believe the cops will take any chance they can to attack that. Better believe they still hate us all, especially those at the intersection of race and queerness.

An LGBT+ bar owner in North Carolina was fired at by police during ongoing Black Lives Matter protests for running a first aid station on hi

Those of you who've felt comfortable that progress has or will simply come have had a shot across the bow. Queer existence is fascist resistance and there is no place to hide for the most visible of us in a fascist future. Being gay doesn't show up on a background check, being intersex is in my medical records, being trans is in my records... I've been violently attacked with witnesses and nothing was ever done (I'm white), Black trans folk are murdered regularly... now, what are you going to do?

A video circulating on social media shows a group of 20 to 30 people hitting Iyanna Dior outside a store.

This is Pride Month... they came to Our door. There's an uncomfortable mirror of the first pride here. Is this not a call to action?

hey you guys know what’s shitty!!!!

my ace/lesbian friend went to a pride festival today!!! im super happy for her!!!

the shitty part is that she left an hour in because she was scared of getting punched. for carrying an ace flag. at pride.

someone threatened her. at pride. because she was ace.

i dont wanna dabble in ~discourse~ but hey!!! maybe don’t make people scared of the community that should make them feel safe!!!! thats my hot take!!!!

If I catch anyone at pride making the event unsafe for anyone, they’re gonna catch these fucking hands. If I’ll throw down with protesters and terfs you bet I ain’t scared to defend people being harassed by gatekeepers.

bigenderfenris

imagine believing a lesbian should be assaulted at pride for not being visibly lesbian. imagine believing an asexual should be assaulted at pride for existing.

cherryholley

the stonewall inn flies the ace flag. stonewall itself supports aces.

weirdmageddon

ace people were around at the time of the riots as well

“I'm excited for discussion of Stonewall this month, and I think it's important to remember that people were actively identifying as asexual

lgtbear

If you don’t think ace people are part of the community feel free to shove it and never open your mouth again

“people would think she’s just there to tell people about her sexual attraction, which is not really appropriate for the event”

exclusionists stop literally reciting homophobic talking points challenge

Reminder that if you’re a fucking exclusionist, you’re officially excluded from my blog and also fuck you.

Why would anyone feel threatened by someone who doesn’t want to have sex with them? What the fuck is wrong with people?

The fact that a 12-year-old has to take the initiative…

On Sixth Anniversary Of Flint Water Crisis, Flint Still Has No Backup Water Source

Flint, MI–On the sixth anniversary of the Flint water crisis, Flint is again in the midst of a crisis.

Six years after the disastrous switch to the Flint River as a source of drinking water for the city, which led to an outbreak of Legionnaire’s Disease and toxic levels of lead leaching into the water, the city remains in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act for not having a reliable secondary drinking water source.

Mayor Sheldon Neeley sent a stern message to Flint city council Monday to, “finish the job,” referring to the 21-inch diameter, five-and-a-half-mile pipe, that would connect Genesee County’s water system to Flint. The pipe would ensure that should the current system, which pulls Lake Huron water via Detroit, fail, Flint would have a readily available source of water.

As of now, the only backup source the city has are water reservoirs, which would only supply residents with drinkable water for a matter of days. If anything, such as a major line break or any other unpredictable event that could compromise the city’s water, it’s unclear where Flint would go next once the reservoirs run dry. “The results could be catastrophic,” Neeley said.

The city, per federal law, must have a secondary source of water. The proposed project would be paid for by an Obama era bill, the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act. The act authorized $100 million in funding for “Flint, Mich., to recover from the lead contamination in its drinking water system.” According to the EPA, $87 million of that money has not been spent.

The proposed backup system was due to be completed in December of 2019 at a cost of $14.7 million in federal funds. On Monday, the council again voted 4 to 4 delaying construction. A majority vote of six would be needed from the nine-person council to reconsider the contract before they could revisit the project.
