So grateful for friends who are willing to get into discussions about money with me in ways that feel revolutionary. I'd be lost without y'all.

If you want to see the UK give visas to refugees from Ukraine, but not from Yemen, Afghanistan or Sudan, I’m going to need you to think very hard about why that might be.

Before I knew about ADHD and hyperfocus, I thought hyperfocus was how productive I should be all the time, and blamed myself for not being able to summon that level of productivity whenever I wanted.
Hello @helenhayes_. As your constituent, I ask you to #DefendDemocracy by voting yes on #PolicingBill amendments 80, 81, and 87. (Ask your MP the same!—bit.ly/ktbdigital) https://xitter.cf/t.co/GqudpfqoQ7 via @tweet_your_mp

Reading The Black Flamingo today inspired me to reconnect with my drag dreams.
Today I *finally* read The Black Flamingo by @DeanAtta. And I cried twice, big ugly tears of joy & love.
1 - “I was thinking I could add you to the list, if you wouldn't mind?”
2 - ‘How to do drag’ poem
Loved it. 😭🖤

Wow, Heidi, get out of my head! I have so many 'ENFP or ADHD?' questions now. 🤔

I really want to get back to dancing. I wish my favourite zumba teacher would start teaching again. But maybe Reality is inviting me to explore in different directions. Okay, I accept!
Any recs for live virtual dance classes?

Oh, I forgot I wrote this. So, good news - I started last week Sunday with Shane, which was fun. Just had my second class this afternoon. Yay!

I was literally about to comment this! My ADHD will channel all my attention to a screen if it’s around. If I’m on my phone or watching TV, someone can call my name like 5 times (my wife has actually done this she HATES it) and it is like white noise to me. Does not compute.

Show of hands ✋🏻 who here has quit a toxic job? Let’s normalize this shit. It’s never worth it, and it’s way different than paying your dues.
Just planned a '5 libraries in 4 days' extended artist date like the giant nerd I am.
And today I visited a park and a wood.
My intention is to spend way more time outdoors this month - off to a great start. ☺️

“So, just to clarify, you’re saying that…” and then paraphrase what they said, emphasising the points that are WTF-worthy. Saying this slower than normal gives it an extra kick if needed.

A tip for ppl w/ADHD:
DO NOT jam pack ur schedule.
Focus on building routines & spreading your tasks across the week while giving yourself at least 2 days of rest.
Trying to live up to a neurotypical standard will result in a never ending burnout cycle

Being good at leaving is a success accelerator. Leaving jobs, leaving relationships, leaving the room, leaving conversations.
