After 13 years of this, it's still funny to me that detailing a full mental breakdown on tumblr is standard fare, but posting a nice selfie is a fraught decision.
this is the correct way around and every other social media site is wrong

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.
Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.
Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.
"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.
You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.

these are the questions about history that the people really need to ask
I love these sorts of questions, truly I do. I have a bachelor and masters in history, i love history, but I understand that not everybody feels that way! In elementary school we are often only taught about big wars and made to memorize dates and the names of kings and all that, but history is so much more than that!
These are the types of questions that can help people get into history because you get to find out that not only did people do backflips in ancient times, but then I as a historian, get to tell you that there was a whole fun cultural tradition in the Minoan period colloquially referred to as Minoan bull leaping where people ran straight at bulls and did a flying front flip over them!
Which might then lead you to ask why did they stop? And I get to tell you that it didn't! Its still practiced in Spain! And in that moment I have given you at least a 3000 year span of history that you know people did flips in cool ways which might prompt you to want to know more about cool acrobatic traditions!
Anyway I love history, especially the history of the every day, if you ever have a history question no matter how silly you think it is please always either look it up or find someone to ask, our ancestors were a lot more human than we give them credit for.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.
Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have
If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!

If you're a teenager, you can still use this resource.
Mississippi used to be at or near the bottom national literacy rankings and as I understand, their near meteoric surge in literacy rate ranking is almost entirely due to the fact that they largely still use phonics
And I want to emphasize here that the poor literacy is the intended outcome.
We've done the research on how to make a good education system and it's been put into practice irl via Finland, who has one of the best education systems in the world and it was built almost entirely using US research.
The lack of reading comprehension is the intended outcome

Didn’t anticipate one of the bonuses of going to a drag show in a smaller more conservative town would be getting to see a bro who clearly wandered into the wrong part of the bar by mistake experience what looked to be a transcendent awakening upon seeing his first drag show.
On of the queens halfway through the show, “Honey, are you straight?”
This man, in a strangled voice, “I don’t know”
We love the character development
Answering "I don't know" is a level of self awareness a lot of people never attain
