I don’t really give a shit about James Somerton, but apparently he claimed that he Did A Plagiarism because of a head injury he had as a kid + ADHD, so he would just copy and paste paragraphs and then forget to rewrite them.
And as someone who was ALSO hospitalized for a head injury as a child, and ALSO has ADHD (with one of my primary symptoms being memory loss), I feel uniquely qualified to fight him on this because I have never done a plagiarism.
I am beginning to suspect that my success in communicating with the socially awkward, highly skilled, specialist technology team members is not just down to "having lots of experience talking to my dad"
Sorry for not posting art in a while. I was putting my all into this one particular project. It’s my first time animating complex expressions, voice sync, and body movement so it drained me to hell. Yet it still came out a hot bloody mess.
I found out that i had ADHd some days ago. My reaction wasn't like if someone I loved died, i was like 👍
As it should be! You having an ADHD Diagnosis doesn't change anything about you! It's supposed to give you a chance to better understand yourself and get help in ways you need it.
ADHD is still so misunderstood by many people. It's not fun to have, it is a disability. It feels better to know your not alone, though.
ADHD does not make you less smart than anyone else in the room. We just have to work harder than normal people to get a similar result. And I think that makes us that much more strong.
i’ve been terrible at replying to people lately. i feel so guilty, but how the hell am I supposed to explain that i’ve been flaky because i can't stop thinking ab two fictional immortal losers that spend two seasons of a tv show and 5 and a half odd million years just homoerotically gazing at one another and yearning???
Oh I do not think we can say that ANY of the way I live this life is recommended, but:
✨ Attitude ✨
I blamed myself a lot for not 'bucking up' or "buckling down" or "just doing it"
It never improved anything and it makes me sad. I stopped doing that and I achieve the same about of shit but I'm happier
💩 Boring tasks 💩
It is simply not a choice between "get it done properly right now" and "get it done half arsed at a weird time while wearing a silly little hat, singing a silly little song and rewarding yourself with a silly little sticker"
Its either half arsed or it's not done, so I'm half arsing it. My apologies that your task is boring as shit, I did what I could to make it bearable and you'll be thankful that I did that (me to me about the dishes)
🔊 Sound 🔊
I have a bell in my keys so when I think 'do I have my keys tho' for the 50th time I can just shoggle my jacket and know they're in there
I set a 30min audiobook timer, I can tidy because I can't watch anything because someone's talking, when it ends I can guilt free stop or I can ego boost keep going, but doing it often enough means sometimes I finish BEFORE THE TIMER (unmatched smugness)
I sing the "got my (something) got my (that thing) got my (thiiiing)" song while pating important things like dog lead poop bags headphones before I leave the house
Work video conferencing filters out background music, you can just play tunes all day and it makes 'tell me when you can see my screen" silences bearable
🦄 One little thing 🦄
Every work day I set myself one task I WILL do today, it needs to be no more than 20mins with no pre work
No matter what happens that day I can take 15 and achieve one actual small useful thing and if I do I put a little "good job" sticker on my to do list notepad.
I am both the struggling student and the teacher cheering her on. I have the power to buy £1 unicorn rainbow motivational stickers and by God I will use that power to email Ken from statistics
