Rb If You Were/are A Gifted Kid I Wanna See How Many Of Us Ended Up Here

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Reblog if you're not homophobic

Every url that reblog’s will be written in a book and shown to my homophobic dad. 

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

They say we have capitalism.

I'm not sure that's actually true anymore? Like sure it was crony capitalism for a long while, but I'm not sure our current status actually qualifies as capitalism. We technically have the ability to buy whatever, up to and and including laws, except only the uppermost possible bank accounts actually have all of that, everyone else just has "work forever to maybe get food regularly" and that just doesn't sound like capitalism, that sounds like "we own you, we just let you pretend otherwise" which has a name, and it's not capitalism.

Hello!

Sometimes toads appear around the house, especially in the evening or at night. The dogs are scared of them, the cats just think they are rocks apparently, and the chickens will devour any they can catch, but sometimes we find them first and get a picture of them.

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.
