ADHD Pro Tip: Use Psychological Warfare On Yourself.

ADHD pro tip: Use psychological warfare on yourself.

For example, in order to do long tasks, like folding laundry, I put on the Mario Hat:

ADHD Pro Tip: Use Psychological Warfare On Yourself.

The main feature of the Mario hat is that my headset does not fit over it, so when The Bees™ try to put me back in front of the screen, the headset issue forces me to remember why I put the Mario hat on, and back to the task I go

As a bonus, the Mario hat is also a very clear indicator to my housemates that business is getting done, and they have learned not to distract me when I'm wearing the "goofy-ass cosplay hat"

It's not stupid if it works.

You Remember That Post About The Homestuck T-shirt Design Contest Collaborating With Hot Topic? And How

You remember that post about the homestuck t-shirt design contest collaborating with hot topic? And how Hot Topic are the biggest art thieves?  This is recent.  As you can see above, I stumbled upon Hot Topic’s website and they are selling a very popular fan art put on a t-shirt, and did not ask permission from the original artist (rismo).

This shows Hot Topic still continues their art thievery.  Hot Topic are still taking art from artists without their permission.  This is disrespectful and appalling.

Do y’all know where the phrase “eat the rich” comes from or do you just repeat it cause you heard it elsewhere?

It’s not a bad thing, I just saw someone say “we never said who would eat the rich” and realized a lot of y’all might not have heard the full quote

It’s from Rousseau and it’s “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich"

And, well, there’s a lot of people with nothing to eat…

Executive Function is the part of your brain that clicks on when you think "I should do this" and you then do it.

"I should do the dishes" •click, green light, does the dishes•

"I should pick that up and throw it in the bin" •click, green light, goes over, picks it up, throws it in the bin•

"I should take a shower" •click, green light, takes a shower"

When you are suffering from executive dysfunction, that switch doesn't work the same as it does for "normal" people.

"I should do the dishes" •click.... click..... click, click, clickclickclickclickclick.... red light, doesn't walk over and start the tap to do the dishes•

"I should pick that up and throw it in the bin" •click, yellow light, task saved until later, memory purge•

"I really, REALLY have to take a shower!" •click-ck-ck-ck-ck-ck-ck... red light, anxiety• "I HAVE to! I can't be outside if I don't shower!" •click.... red light•

Sometimes, you have to force yourself to overcome it, you have to go in there and manually wrench the entire system into green light.

And people can do this, from outside, it doesn't look like anything.

But you know that time you forced yourself to do something that was so far beyond anything you wanted to do that you were completely mentally drained? (Broke up with someone, confessed to something bad, swallowed pride and asked for help etc)

That can be exactly what a person with executive dysfunction experiences when they force themselves to do the dishes. It isn't always that hard, but it can be.

Like trying to purposefully slam your hand in a door or jump off a legit scary height into water that you can't bring yourself to do.

It's a mental illness that can be just as crippling as a physical disability.

And when people say "get over it", it's not like we've tried.

It's just that, you know.

"Get over it"

•click.... click..... click.... click-ck-ck... .... .... red light.•
This exact system also applies to things you WANT to do. When I finally have free time after work and my brain says, hey! We have some time. Let's play video games.

The input for playing video games tries to trigger over and over and over again. I want to play games. It's low effort. It's fun. I enjoy it. Hell, I know I'll enjoy it when I get started but that "on" switch never triggers and I sit there, blank face, usually staring at my phone. Next thing I know, I've wasted all the time I had free and have to do something else, like make dinner.

This is one of the best explanations of executive dysfunction I've read, as someone who suffers from it. People who don't have it really don't understand how challenging it is to want to do something but then getting roadblocked by your own mind.

For any relocated TikTok users

you can say sex and kill its fine

If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot

theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them

follower count doesnt matter

tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At

no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is

block anyone that annoys you even a little bit

And most importantly:

post cringe

My intention isn’t to BOSS people around. But people who don’t create on tumblr really have to understand that if creators stop posting here, you won’t have anything else to like but maybe memes. If you want content to circle around to your dashboard… you have to pay it forward and reblog. That is why this website is dying. The Ban is not the only reason.

My sort of maybe embarrassing “late to the game” thing I’m learning now is how to tell if oil has gone bad.

I feel like most other foods have obvious visual tells like mold or they end up smelling foul and obviously bad. But I was googling about oil and the internet says “if it smells like crayons, it’s bad” which would not have been my first guess. And I tested it out on my somewhat old sesame oil and was like “by god, I would describe this as smelling like crayons”

Anyway protip if your old oil smells kinda like crayons it’s probably no good 🖍️

I’m a young-adult woman with the hopes of becoming a well-known writer. I’m a dreamer, a music lover and a chaotic human being, curious about what the future will bring but without any idea of what to do with it. As for this tumblr, we’ll see. I will make an attempt to make an interesting place but for now I still have to figure out what to do with it.
