That's some timing you got there, Jessica.

I was struggling with this exact thing yesterday. Internalized ableism is a bitch. It's hard enough to have #ADHD without our minds also setting unrealistically high standards.

So, I have to make a 10 minute video presentation for my "Contemporary and Emerging Issues in Crime and Justice" subject.

Im thinking a PowerPoint, where Slide 1 says FREE PALESTINE, followed by a 9m38s loop of Richard Spencer being punched set to Billy Bragg singing The Internationale..

Yes?

Here's an article I have taken about 3 days to write, a nice in-depth start to Tuesday.

Me: "I'm going to take my ADHD meds. I'm going to finally get these tasks done."

My brain: "Right! Time to hyperfocus on cataloguing every picture of Queen Felicia!"

People with #ADHD, what's your preferred nesting syntax?

qualcuno di voi ha esperienza del percorso gam medical per adhd? o di altre strade per il riconoscimento di adhd? e se sì la mia domanda riguarda l'aspetto economico del tutto: quanto viene a costare affrontare questo discorso? comporta poi nel caso di diagnosi adhd visite periodiche e "obbligo" di procurarsi farmaci? che con stupendiucci di mezzo il fattore soldi per me è decisivo per decidere se iniziare il tutto ora oppure..

I often get so angry at objects not cooperating. Like things falling down when I am already tired but especially things not opening like they should. OPEN HERE and then it doesn’t open. Or things getting stuck somewhere.

I know technically it’s because I am clumsy (except the OPEN HERE labels, those should just work!) but I just get so frustrated! Is this an ND thing? #actuallyautistic #ADHD

When it comes to task management for us neurodivergents, and you're like me, then it's usually just a complete failure.
Todo apps just don't work how my head does, because my head is chaotic. My to do app for projects becomes insanely detailed and complex, before hitting a wall of limitation, and then I just get overwhelmed.
Then trying to work this way for more domestic tasks and organizing my life, all falls by the wayside and I seem to never get anything done.
So, I was trying out different task apps again, and came across a FOSS desktop app called WeekToDo Planner.
I saw that it was apparently a very minimal ToDo app, and I was expecting to try it for two minutes, then remove it for being too simple.
But it was this simplicity which actually ended up intriguing me and making it useful. The app is just daily columns to add tasks, which slides left and right, like an image gallery on a website.
I've been finding it useful being able to work out basic task a few days in advance, more like jotting down the overall things, rather than getting stuck in all of the details like I tend to.
A useful feature is the option to auto move tasks, where any undone tasks on a Wednesday, for example, will slide over to the next day.
I've found that this allows me to see tasks building up before it all becomes too overwhelming. And of course you can easily drag and drop, or delete tasks.
Now, I'm never going to be using this app for my project work, but it is helping me put some structure and focus into my general daily life.
So I'm sharing this with my Au and ADHD friends here in case this is useful for anyone else.

I asked OLMo what kind of a psychological profile I have associating myself with goblincore and vulture culture.

“Someone who identifies with both goblincore and vulture culture may exhibit a multifaceted psychological profile characterized by creativity, individualism, dark humor and resilience, a nonconformist spirit, and a deep appreciation for the natural world in all its forms. They are likely to possess a strong sense of curiosity and an ability to find beauty in the unconventional.”

I was just going for #ADHD but thanks.

I talked with my lecturer about possibly doing the anti-Semitism/Palestinian resistance topic for my assessment.

He explained that he'd love to read my take on it even if I looked at it via the hate crime topic, but also that if he said I could do that then he'd have to say yes to everyone who asked if they could do a topic we've already covered*, but we talked about perhaps looking at protest laws and policy and using it as an example to cover that (which then opens up discussion of the BLM protests compared to the anti-covid protests).

I've also pmuch finished a presentation on coercive control and have that ready to go if I can't make the anti-Semitism one work.

I think what I need to do is plan out the essay for assessment 5, and then work backwards from that to get the presentation in line.. and that'll help me work out if I can do it. The presentation is due on the 18th, so I pmuch have 10 days to research and plan a 2000 word essay and then write and record a 10 minute video presentation outlining the issue the essay will cover.

Nothing can go wrong with this plan!

* personally I think the "we'd have to say yes to everyone" response is pmuch always nonsense.

That #ADHD feeling of accomplishment that comes from realizing the thing you did was just a distraction from the thing you meant to do —

And you still have to do that thing.

Me: I know my eating has been shitty lately, because I'm not feeling great.. but I'm definitely going to get that back in order!

Also me:
I really should have breakfast - Redbull and a doughnut, it is!
