So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

there is no unlived life or alternative reality where everything went right…. there is only here and now what are you going to do with it

like i feel like im going absolutely insane with how much intentional self infantilization im seeing women my age doing.. and then acting like im a wackjob for being like “i don’t think thats cute and i find it insulting” i want to be taken seriously i want to be regarded as intelligent and bright and capable. i dont want to act like a high school sophomore when im a 24 year old woman with loans and bills and wisdom to share and learn. im a human being and im tired of being roped into this weird culture of “20-something teenage girls” it’s time to fucking grow up and if you can’t or won’t do that then leave me absolutely out of it and speak only for yourself. your female ancestors would find you an embarrassment.

Please do things to strengthen your attention span. It stresses me out so much when people just accept their small attention spans and cater to them without any acknowledgment that they are making it worse by doing that.

There is a reason attention spans are worse now and it didn���t just happen by chance. Media and the internet designed it that way and we went with it because it was easier.

Some of us with ADHD and brain fog need to meet ourselves where we’re at and exercise our attention span by watching a two minute video instead of a one minute video. Some of us need to sit down and read a novel with our phones turned off.

Wherever you’re at, just realize that not doing things that feel hard will keep making your attention span worse.
