If I remove all the fancy words from textbooks it will reduce to stuff we already know. The textbooks love using fancy words

How does it truly end🥲🥲🫠

There are many many Serious Reasons why I am glad to be living in the 21st century but one of the more personal less serious reasons is the quality of historical research and how much more we know now, and how much has been revealed to be bullshit.

Life is short, I don’t want to spend it reading Victorian moralisers or credulous analysis of primary sources, believing that Anne Boleyn had six fingers and that spices were used to disguise rotten meat.

I don’t think I’ve truly come to terms with the fact that starting mid-July, for at least the next 5 years, I pretty much won’t have any time to actually follow Formula 1, a sport I’ve been a fan of for as long as I can remember, because of clinical rotations and then residency 🙃

I'm trying to become a teacher because as someone with super severe ADHD I've encountered so many ableist teachers who try to 'logic' away all my problems with neurotypical solutions and refuse to comprehend that neurotypical solutions don't work for neurodivergent brains. And it is so frustrating because the very professors who are teaching how to alter teaching and assessment strategies to fit the needs of every individual student are sitting here refusing to follow the instructions from the accommodations center, and giving me neurotypical solutions and saying I'm not working hard enough when I come to them with struggles caused by them not following my accommodation plan, when I've already been working 10x harder than I should need to be and would need to be if they'd actually practice what they preach!

Like I'm sorry that printing off a physical copy of the assignment takes you five minutes, but the assignment doesn't exist to my brain unless it's on paper in front of me, and I can't print it off myself because it doesn't exist, and telling me that printing it off myself is easy doesn't help, because even if I did magically manage to remember that it exists, it is then a like 50 step process to do so, and I only have 25 spoons today and they have all been used by this conversation! And I'm sorry that I misunderstood this assignment, telling me that I'm lucky the Education program is so accommodating to let me re-do the assignment does not help when you refuse to understand why your instructions were misunderstood or to even attempt to re-explain the assignment in a way that actually makes sense!

I'm sorry that my executive disfunction makes it so physical processes take 10x more work for me than they do for you, and that because my brain is so hyperactive mental processes take 1/10th of the steps that you expect me to take, and that resultingly any 'show your work' assignments are lacking because I did show all my work and I don't have the spoons to discover and then show the steps you didn't tell me I needed and I instinctively 'skipped over' because they're non-existent in my brain!

But telling me to "just turn off that part of your brain" does NOT help in any way whatsoever, and you as an education professor should know this because this is literally a significant portion of what you are teaching!!!

And I realize that life is hard for everyone, but there's a difference between fighting a big boss in a video game and fighting the same big boss on hard mode when you didn't get to choose the dificulty setting and you don't know how to play because someone changed the tutorial language to Phoenician!

Hello friends,

I almost forgot I had started this blog and have been in sort of a static mode for the past 2 days. I've not been able to be productive and it's frankly eating me alive. I didn't think it would be this bad and almost regret starting this journey on such an unpleasant note.

I came across a YouTube video that was based on a self diagnosis test for adult ADHD but it was very crude and only had five questions. Still I did "pass" and according to that I do possess ADHD characteristics. I don't like that test as a cellular neuroscience student but I do think it's important for people who are still in denial about their ADHD (something I was guilty of for way too many years) and acts like a stepping stone for professional diagnosis.

I also saw a video about someone talking about taking medication for ADHD for the first time and how it affected them in the long and short term and it finally gave me the courage to approach my father and talk to him about my condition and the good news is that I'm finally going to go to a certified psychologist in my area and get some tests done to see what the problem is.

I want to get medication not just because I want to be normal and have an academic comeback (though that is the main motivation) but I just want to stop my thoughts to stop racing through my mind 100km/hr for 25/8. I would like to stop feeling anxious for one moment of my life and not feel the need constantly feed my dopamine starvation with screen time (I'm pretty sure it's rotting my brain lol)

Thank you for reading. Kindly follow if you would like to keep up with my ramblings and progress.

babes!! you know what is not very mindful? what's not very demure?UNGRACEFULLY interrupting people who are wearing headphones to speak to them. there are so many better ways to get someone's attention than raising your voice and waving your arms in their face. especially on public transport.

FOR EXAMPLE,

a visual cue: stand in their line of sight and make eye contact. a friendly wave or nod can signal that you'd like to talk.

a light tap: gently tap their shoulder or arm. avoid startling them - use a light touch.

via note: write a brief note or use your phone to type a message. show it to them discreetly.

all of the headphone wearers will be grateful for your calming down <3
