MASS ARRESTS OF JEWISH VOICE FOR PEACE IN CENTRAL STATION

Clark sent money home on a shit salary, paid his bills, and did his own laundry. Clark Kent is adulting/husband goals.

The actual true and ideal relationship is Morticia and Gomez Addams. But still.. I doubt the OP has anything in common with Clark Kent other than perhaps number of limbs.

“Girls want a Superman, but they walk past a Clark Kent every day”

You fuckin CLOWNS think you’re a CLARK KENT? Not on my fuckin watch. You dumb, headass motherfuckers are barely a Guy Gardner and you think you’re a CLARK KENT? The amount of disrespect is unreal.

I see a lot of people joking about the adhd thing of "I have a appointment/phone call at 3pm, guess I won't do anything all day!"

But no one seems to make the connection that it's a time blindness thing. One of the symptoms of ADHD is not having a good and accurate sense of time. And not doing stuff prior to an event with a hard deadline is an obvious coping mechanism for that.

Can I go to the store? It's 10am and the appointment is at 3pm. How long does going to the store take? An hour? Three hours? Five hours? I DON'T KNOW!

I get anxious trying to do things before appointments because I'm aware that I don't know how long those things take, and that if I think I do, I may be very wrong. Too often I've been like "hey I can walk to the corner store and grab a drink, that'll take like 15 minutes!" and then an hour later I get back and whoops my rice has burnt.

Plus there's also the fact that ADHD people know that motivation and focus is a two-edged sword.

Like, let's say you decide to play a video game. You've got time, you can pause/save whenever, so this should be a perfect fit to make good use of your waiting-time. So you start playing and WHOOPS you get really focused for some reason today (because people with ADHD do not get to pick when their brain decides to focus) and the next time you look at the clock it's 2:49 and you haven't showered or dressed and the appointment is 30 minutes away. Fuck. (you could have set an alarm, but now you're asking people with the forgetting-things-and-time-ignoring condition to remember it set alarms)

And with motivation, it can be almost worse. Instead of playing a game, you so something useful or creative. You clean your room or fix your plumbing or write a story or draw a picture. And suddenly it's great. Your brain is firing on all cylinders. You've got all the motivation you can ask for, and you are FLYING. the ideas are brilliant, your hands are nimble, you're getting stuff done you've been putting off for weeks or months. And then the alarm goes off. Time to go to your appointment. Fuck.

You drive there, your brain still full of ideas and plans. But by the time you get back, the motivation is gone. You may still have the ideas but you don't have the drive to write them down. You can't force yourself to do it. Your sink is still in pieces. Your room is half-cleaned, and you have to shove all the sorted clothes into one big bin just so you have somewhere to sleep. You've left things half finished again, in a cycle that has been repeating your whole fucking life. It seems sometimes that nothing ever gets finished.

So next time you don't even start. There's not time. You've been burnt too many times. Why add another half-completed project to your pile of shame?

My point is that people seem to be going "lol I can't do anything all day if I have an appointment at 3pm" like this is a quirky "oh I'm so scatterbrained!" weirdness they alone have, and not a major complication of a disabling mental illness.

(and that's not even getting into the secondary effects. If you know that having an appointment ruins your whole damn day, you're going to avoid them. Even when it's things like "going to that party" or "meeting your friends for a drink/game" or "going to a movie with that cute girl from your math class". Things you should enjoy. Things that'd help you be social. Things that make you feel human.)

Listen, it’s imperative that when things get really overwhelming in your own mind that you do something nice as a distraction instead of keeping on ruminating those thoughts and feelings. Sometimes, it can be practicing mindfulness, sometimes it can be reading a book, watching a movie, taking a shower, going on a walk. If you’re too tired, try listening to some music, watching a short video, looking up pictures of dogs or playing something on your phone. Our thoughts can become a lot to handle, and sometimes sitting through them can’t be done without feeling like you’re focusing too much on the source of stress itself, so finding a positive distraction to help you “get out of your head” is so important. It’s feels nice to remind yourself that there is a whole world outside of yourself and that focusing too much on your own thoughts will only make you more anxious instead of solving any problems (and many times, you will find better solutions on the outside world, or at least, you will find help).

Coulrocide. Is that a word yet? Asking for a friend.

I'm the friend

Todd had a seemingly heavy duffle bag over one shoulder and a banker's box in hand. Weapons? Severed heads? Art supplies ?

Speculation was futile.

"You have about 10 minutes?" he asks.

"Not r-" Damian responds as Jason moves into the room anyway.

"Good! I'll make this as quick as I can. Damian, I'm a simple man. I like to eat, read, fight, and fuck. Not necessarily in that order."

Todd paced as he spoke.

The duffle hits the floor with a low whump. Probably not severed heads, the sound wasn't right. Jason puts the box down on Damian's desk.

"Very little of that is new information. How is this relevant and what do you want? I have something I need to get back to-"

Damian stopped talking, maybe if he just let Todd say what he had to say Damian could get back to what he was doing.

Todd took a breath and started to lecture.

The assassin prayed for death.

Nope. No such luck, still alive.

This was, the much dreaded "TALK".

Damian took another breath in. Still alive. Clearly, Damian was praying to the wrong gods.

Todd was convicted of his righteousness so there would be no easy escape such as Damian sloughing off his mortal coil.

Shit.

Could be worse. It could be his father.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

Parent fail #46- texts from the teacher

Hello. Please support me by making sure TinyRhino doesn’t bring candy in his backpack. He was having candy during breakfast time.

He then proceeded to offer candy to other kids, saying the school breakfast 'was for chumps'.

This is not appropriate behavior.

Thank you.
