And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive EightYear Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 3 days 5 hours

Question 2/3

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Remaining time: 3 days 5 hours

odyver

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

Remaining time: 3 days 5 hours

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Everyone has an accent it came free with your language 🙄

audliminal

Congrats to every reply like this for failing to understand the fundamental definition of an accent. Of course you think you sound normal! It's the way you speak!

salarta

Gonna sign language at you in a very southern accent

inthewaytoamultilinguallife

Sign languages also comes with accents, you can easily watch people sign and tell the difference

You get different sign language accents, you get regional accents, and you even get "second language speaker accent"

champagnemoon

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity

this is truly the best summary of what all of this SHOULD be about

One thing i love about the Raven Cycle that i feel is not spoken much about is its take on grief. I know this comes up a lot more in the dreamers trilogy but it’s done so intentionally in TRC.

We know both Ronan and Noah were different before but we never really see it. The Death has already happened before we (Blue) arrive at the scene. Niall Lynch is gone and Ronan is forever changed. We can hear about the before, his hair, tennis, his relationship with Declan, even see glimpses of it, the Barnes, Sunday’s a church, but Ronan will never be the person he was before and we as an audience will never meet him.

For Noah it’s even clearer. We never know Czerny outside of brief recounts years after the fact from a man justifying his murder. His family don’t get the chance to speak to us and the Noah we know is in his own words lesser than the Noah Czerny that was lost. Noah Czerny is split, one half the lesser ghost of Noah and another the distorted memory of Czerny.

Both of these introductions of loss are so interesting, especially Noah’s, because they force the audience to equally lose access to parts of the character. We are immersed in the story, in Ronan’s case in the manner of Blue who meets him at the same instance we do. Noah’s loss is more interesting because the main group don’t experience his loss, they forget him and move on. His family grieve him outside of the narrative scope and Whelk doesn’t seem to grieve him at all. Instead the audience attempts to mourn him, putting the pieces together. I think the absence of everything we never got to know about Noah is such a perfect representation of death and how it can make our loved ones seem strangers to us. We didn’t know all of Noah Czerny, but we know there was a boy who died when he didn’t deserve to and isn’t that enough for us to grieve?
