i'm still mad about that post thats like "humans USED to be able to memoriize long epic poems, but we no longer have Bards so our memories arent as good" boy shut the fuck up. a good chunk of people i went to high school with had the entirety of hamilton memorized for fun and they weren't even autistic.

if you've ever used the London Underground you might have noticed that it often gets uncomfortably hot. the reason for this is actually that its builders dug too greedily & too deep and as a result the trains are very close to the fires of hell. hope that helps.

By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

A solution presented itself. A definitive course of action. In many ways, a simple answer.

Viktor has become fixated on Jayce Talis’s hands?

Then he will follow that fixation to every conceivable end. More simply put, he decided he’d take the weekend and ruthlessly work himself to completion until he was too sore to get hard anymore.

–

Aka five times Viktor noticed his new partner has huge wandering fuckoff paws, plus the one time he did something about it.

–

HELLO. I guess we doin a chapter a month lmao. 

This chapter and this fic have booked a hot air balloon across the continent compared to where the outline started, but I promise it’s gonna be a great Journey.

The usual accolades and honor upon their cows ladled onto my writing support squad. Mwah mwah mwah.

GOOD LUCK HAVE FUN~~ I CERTAINLY DID.

I don't know if folks still use tumblr to seek commissions, but I'm seeking an artist for a new podcast I'm developing! actually, I'm just always seeking artists, of all styles, for all kinds of things.

prior experience with podcast art is a plus, but really my only stipulation is that you don't use AI for your art!

drop your portfolios in the reblogs or replies!

Referred to as “the Dusseldorf patient” to protect his privacy, researchers said he is the fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure. Although the details of his successful treatment were first announced at a conference in 2019, researchers could not confirm he had been officially cured at that time.

Today, researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years ago.
