Were there social structures in place that provided support or were they left to suffer?

ADHD people (and neurodivergent people in general) definitely existed pre-modern-medicine and I keep wondering how they managed to get by, especially with invisible differences that wouldn't have been well-understood at all

The #GoodNews today is that I obtained a new embroidery needle (actually, a set of needles!) and it is better than the old one. They were super cheap, too

I usually post tech for good jobs when I find them, but apparently "puppy coordinator" is a job title and I have been living my whole life incorrectly.

I just wanna give a personal thanks to everybody out there for all the community support for @wwu

Community pressure *does* work and *has* helped us in negotiations.

Workers at Wikimedia Foundation just want to do their jobs effectively without interference or fear of losing their jobs. And those jobs are to support the communities of editors, readers, outreachers, organizers, fact-checkers, template writers, module debuggers, and more who make Wikipedia and its sister projects happen.

Plus, I get the impression that chronic stress (to be distinguished from the acute "oops, there is a deadline To Do in 2 hours" stress) makes my ADHD symptoms worse. Worsening symptoms likely feeds into chronic stress. This is not a fun cycle to be in.

Unfortunately the society we have built seems to be adapted to providing a bunch of chronic stress. I genuinely don't understand how people who aren't me cope

I have really enjoyed watching The Linda Lindas evolve as artists. From punk rock darlings to the justified rage of a generation. Watch the new video for "Blood On Our Hands" and buy some of their music on #BandcampFriday

Some local business near us are using AI art even as they have "NO NEW POWER LINES" signs in front of their business, on account of a power company wanting to jam 100-foot high-power lines through our village to power data centers on the other side of the state. There is, mind you, irony there.

Honestly my meds were at a rather low dose so no wonder my symptoms were playing up.

I wish I could have organic focus sometimes though! 😭

Finally got my med increase! I hope this helps with the symptoms

That feeling when you see people get away with only criticising the perceived overreach of those against "AI" but never those promoting it; somehow managing to look "impartial" while making money advising companies on "AI"

You just know they'll come out of the other end of this bubble squeaky clean

One of the downsides of having known a lot of consultants is an intimate familiarity with polished and accomplished dishonesty.
