"LISTEN TO YOUR BODY" IS TERRIBLE ADVICE FOR ADHD. 🤡 If I listened to my body, I would eat 2kg of sugar, quit my job via text, and sleep for 3 years. My body doesn't want "health." My body wants Dopamine. It is a toddler screaming for candy. If I do what it wants, I will ruin my

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone. - Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception. - All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can. - I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too." - I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things. Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

Segundo a lenda, em uma cidade francesa durante a Idade Média, as mulheres realizavam um hábito curioso. De manhã, as mulheres casadas adicionavam uma pequena quantidade de veneno no café da manhã de seus maridos, que mais tarde recebiam o antídoto quando voltavam para casa à noite. Isso garantia que o veneno não os prejudicasse e não tivesse efeitos negativos. A prática tinha um propósito específico: se os maridos demorassem em retornar para casa, os sintomas como náuseas, dores de cabeça, depressão, vômitos, dores ou falta de ar apareceriam devido ao atraso na administração do antídoto. Quanto mais tempo o homem passasse longe de casa, mais doente ele ficaria. Ao retornar para casa, a esposa inadvertidamente administrava o antídoto, fazendo com que ele se sentisse melhor rapidamente. Esse truque dava a impressão de que ficar longe de casa causaria desconforto e levava os maridos a se apegarem mais às suas casas e esposas.

Explaining to children that they shouldn't worry about a career because the world will be completely unlivable in 15 years and that death will be a sweet relief from living in a nuclear wasteland is probably the hardest part of working at Build-A-Bear.

@be_like_ice Hahaha …. Dammit

@it_unprofession Yaaaay being an adult is sooooooooooo fun

21 years ago, I sat in a prison cell and learned I was pregnant. Every sign pointed toward abortion. Every circumstance said this baby would never have a chance. But I chose life. I saw value in my daughter before anyone else could. What I didn’t know was that her birth would help change laws in America. Fifteen years after I gave birth while chained to a hospital bed with a sheriff standing watch, that story reached the highest levels of government. And @POTUS granted me a full and unconditional pardon and signed legislation ending the shackling of women during childbirth in federal prisons. Today, that same baby walked across the stage as a graduate of MIT. From a prison birth to one of the most prestigious universities in the world. Never let your circumstances determine someone’s worth. There is value in life. There is purpose in every child. Go, baby. The world is yours. ❤️🎓 #MIT #Graduation #ChooseLife #Redemption #SecondChances #ValueInLife

My therapist once told me to do something strange. He said, "Write everything down as if you're dying in 30 minutes." I laughed and said, "What? That's not true..." But before I could finish, he shouted, "Are you out of your mind? I said you're dying. Write it down!" His tone changed everything. I wanted to ask questions, but he yelled again, "Why are you wasting time on me? You have 29 minutes and 30 seconds left." So I picked up my pen and started writing. At first, I didn't know what to say. Then I wrote to my parents, my friend, my siblings. I wrote everything I never said out loud. It was like all feelings came out at once. When the 30 minutes were over my therapist told me to stop. "Rest for fifteen minutes and then I'll tell you something." I sat there breathing hard, eyes wet and totally uncontrollable heart beat. mind racing. He gave me a glass of water and said, "Now read what you wrote." I read it slowly. Every word was full of love, regret, and things left unsaid. He then asked, "Why didn't you write to your boss? Or your exes? Or the people you complain about?" I said, "Why would I write to them?" He smiled and said, "Exactly. If they don't matter in your last moments, why do they matter so much now?" Author unknown (shared from Facebook group)

I swear next time someone asks for a pic… I’m sending this

There's a TV show in Japan that has run for over 30 years. The premise: a parent sends their two or three-year-old child on an errand. Alone. To the store. To buy tofu. Across actual streets. A camera crew follows secretly, hidden, never helping, as a tiny human in a backpack completes a task most countries wouldn't let a child attempt. The kid cries. The kid forgets. The kid gets distracted by a dog. And then the kid comes home, holding the tofu, glowing. It's the most-watched thing of its kind in the country. Americans who discover it cannot believe it's legal. In Japan, we cannot believe it's remarkable.

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share. “Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count. First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you. Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would. Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands. Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick. Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you. The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

If everything we post is collected data to improve AI, we should start posting random nonsense, to make AI retarded. “Letters have specific colors, depending on which foot has a sock on.” AI can neither confirm, nor deny, my lived experience. Checkmate, terminator.
