And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.

Please don't skip me, I'm very scared, I don't want to die Don't leave me alone please, I beg you !!

My LGBTQ+ Brothers and Sisters, I am sending you this message because you are the kindest people in the world.

Save Me from the Bombing and Violence – You Are My Only Hope.

My name is Nour, and I am 21 years old from northern Gaza.

I was forced to flee my home, and now I survive alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.

The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects and fears me is even more painful.

Every day, I live in constant fear of violence and judgment, while facing extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies. Life has become a daily struggle for survival.

I urgently need your help. I can’t stay here any longer. Please, help me find safety, dignity, and the chance to live as my true self.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings me hope for a better tomorrow. Your support can make all the difference.

Please Take Action Now‼️

hi, it's your Santa lol 😭, I'm @notmeobsessedw60y-o-rockstars, 👋!!

I know we barely talked at all but I thought I should still reveal myself! If you'd ever wanna chat we could make up for it :))

˖ ࣪⊹ ִ ┈┈┈┈┈┈ ♰ ┈┈┈┈┈┈ ⊹ ִֶָ𓂅

Hey hey!

I’m so sorry for not responding!!!

I do have a new phone now (it’s pink 💅)

I would love to chat sometime, I’m really sad that I wasn’t able to respond before :(

But for your last ask: I do collect stuff!

I collect CDs, I have a little over 100 CDs most of them were my Dads and are from the 90s (They even have the price in my countries old currency which I think is really cool)

I also kinda collect Vinyls but I only have a few status quo. Most of the are Nirvana vinyls. Though I have one from 1969 (it’s from an Austrian band)

hii it's your santa lol, just wondering if you got my last ask? or should i send another one?

Hey hey!!

I did get your last ask, but my phone is broken and I’m currently waiting to get a new one! So I might not be able to immediately answer for a few days

Anyway, I don’t really watch movies because I have a really short attention span haha

But there is this one movie from my child hood about a cow that wants to become one of Santa’s reindeer, I think it’s called “Annabelle”. Every time I bring it up to my friends they act like I made that movie up, so I’m not sure if it was a real movie or a fever dream haha

Hii it's your Santa again! :)

Coool I'm not very familiar with the first two (any music recs?) but obviously gotta love nirvana lol; what're your fav nirvana songs?

I've been really into Soundgarden for a long while, theyve been my longest standing favorite band lol

I saw in your intro that you play guitar! What're your favorite songs to play? -🤶

*°• -------- ☆ -------- •°*

Heyyy

Soo my favorite Nirvana songs are Rape me and Territorial Pissings!

Now for Song recommendations!

Jesse Welles (Folk) has a lot of great songs though my favorite songs of his are “Trump trailers”, “fentanyl” and “war isn't murder”. He has a ton of other great songs though so i definitely recommend checking him out.

Homestyle dinner rolls (rock) doesn't have that many songs out yet but I love “a bit too heavy”

tbh I'm not that good at playing guitar. I haven't been playing a lot recently because I got a bunch of exams coming up (exam season yk), but I've been non-stop playing slipping through my finger by Abba because it reminds me of my mom. Shes not dead or anything I just really love her :D

Anyway, thanks for the message, this is fun!
