  • love this, thank you for sharing. after 33 years of life hiding and compensating for my perceived differences, earlier this year a healthcare professional finally diagnosed me with AuDHD. i have always had several surprising standout skillsets with which, as an adult, i have been able to monetize in order to support myself. but i have also always struggled severely in a number of unexpected areas that have a noticeable impact on my daily life. the context my diagnosis provides has been full of healing and understanding. i can be proud of my unique abilities and also accepting of my unique limitations.

    it is super exciting to hear how another neurodivergent mind has learned to harness their gifts even amongst the obstacles. cheers!





  • it would be an incredibly poor decision for US to invade israel. our heavy hand in this situation has already done enough damage. tbh no matter what happens from here, the seeds of violence, resentment and revenge planted deep within the remaining youthful population will ensure the cycle persists. just as we are seeing now, the oppressed, when given the opportunity to become the oppressor, will often feel justified in doing so. i don’t have answers but it’s pretty obvious that Netanyahu’s long established iron-fist policy in regards to the treatment of palestinians is and has always amounted to a powder keg. i am ashamed at my country (also US) for many things, but our mixed messaging, ignorant elevation of the zionist ideology and luke warm action (at best) on preventing the mass slaughter of innocent human beings has elevated that shame to disgust.
