The thing with ableism is that most people don't see it. It looks completely normal, realistic, and appropriate to them. It's hard to weed out when you can't tell the difference between the weeds and the flowers.

Me: "This is particularly interesting if one did do a bit of behavioral economics in the past."

Them: "What did you NOT do?"

I'm sorry, I'm #AuDHD. This is how my brain works

I am looking for a few testers for my app #Cloudodoro

Currently it is in #TestFlight from #Apple so if you have an #iPhone and want to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

The app is a #Pomodoro focused on a calmer, more relaxed atmosphere than others. I have #ADHD and am on the #Spectrum so not all things I try help me get focused, so this is why I made the app.

Not everyone has to like everything that I say or do in order for me to be okay.

Me at work, when I am doing something that is exceptionally interesting to me.

So this was a day.

I might be autistic.

Happy #Blaugust Day 7, everyone.

Morning lovely buff ripped gorgeous curvy chaos goblins love you

Today’s going to be hooooot again keep cool hydrate and stay out of the sun also spf 10000000 exists (brick)

Today’s plan live in the inflatable pool, do my physio (easier in the pool )
kinda vaguely happy today what’s with that something must be wrong or going to be wrong I’m gonna obsess over it all day and make myself super anxious til I find out what’s wrong or going to go wrong then I can be sad again (#audhd goals)

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.

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!

Between the car issues and the fire hazard, my brain is extremely unhappy.

Mostly packing a go bag might ratchet down the stress a little. Maybe.

My nervous system does not do well during dry spells at the best of times. This is not one of those.

Will increasing internal awareness make things worse?
