Having to wear the noise cancelling headphones at all time at the moment. Not listening to anything, just in a state of brain where every intruding noise feels like someone brushing up against me and I want to squirm and shrink. #ADHD
So granddad was an air steward and grandma a housewife, so no to those. Grandma and Granddad Witham ran a pub, I think, and honestly I could be down.
Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
Not only is he a smoking hot abolitionist who was assassinated for refusing orders to massacre indigenous folks, he "befriended Walt Whitman" according to his Wikipedia page which ABSOLUTELY means they fucked

Insisting kids stay where they are and learn only what's locally valued is how you end up with wicker men
If this had been policy in the 70s (as it partly was), towns would have produced lots of mining engineers & metallurgists just before pits & steelworks closed. As the yanks say, you should skate to where the puck's going, not to where it is. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

AI videos dunking on politicians you dislike are still AI videos.
A short guide to my #neurodivergence: 1) I need to know WHAT TO EXPECT 2) I need to know WHAT IS EXPECTED OF ME and baby you will not believe the inferences and predictions I cannot be expected to make 😜
I have a playlist called "The robots have taken over and they're having a marvellous time without us" and I am finding it ever so soothing today.
No matter what kind of day you are having, this👇 will make it better. 🥹 🚲 ❤️
Them: You don’t see those heralds of the Approaching End Times with sandwich boards in towns any more do you? Y’know, ‘THE END IS NIGH’ and, ‘IT IS LATER THAN YOU THINK’? Me:
Subconscious - which is not subtle - had me dreaming about telling a small child that she absolutely didn't have to grow up and get married, she could keep just liking snails and robots(?) forever. Nice moral, brain, but we're gonna need a significantly better paying job to make this work...
Rewatched Wake Up Dead Man. I laughed out loud when Andrew Scott says "You have my sword" and Jeremy Renner goes "And--"
the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport olympic shooting was mixed gender right up until a woman won the gold

Professional Services out here catching strays
Universities exist to teach students & produce research This brings in the money. Academics generate the value. Everyone else is paid from that income stream. University senior management has forgotten who creates the income & who depends on it They behave as if system runs the other way around
It's 12 minutes of Harry trying to persuade the Hogwarts toilet inspector that he needs to go into the girls toilets to rescue Hermione from a Troll and that he shouldn't have to show them his genitals first.
On a personal front I think that the harm caused by Streeting & the press has not been fully quantified. I did not seek ADHD diagnosis because I thought it was super fun and cool. I did it to understand the struggles I've experienced.
