@hippiedaytrader @GovernorShapiro @PAStatePolice @PEMAHQ York County is red very very red

@GovernorShapiro @PAStatePolice @PEMAHQ Why do democrat run cities have the most crime?

I’ve been briefed on the tragic shooting at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York County and I am on my way to the scene. The hospital is now secure and members of the @PAStatePolice and @PEMAHQ are on the ground responding alongside our local and federal partners. Follow the direction of local authorities and stay clear of the area. We will share more updates as they become available.

how's everyone doing? clearly I still have ADHD since I went into an editing vortex and forgot this place exists

You might not notice the broken trust, because we’re encouraged to keep pushing, treating every individual as a walking ATM, not a relationship to be nurtured and a person to be helped. Soon, though, you run out of the gullible and all you’re left with is distrust. - Seth Godin

Cats! Dogs! Geese! Laura Loomer! Look, now he’s attacking Taylor! Like the last season before a show gets canceled for getting over-the-top and, at the same time, boring. This election is about jobs, wages, climate, health care, abortion. Not his show. Your life.

so how's life over here? is it really a cesspool? I've been busy doing writer with ADHD stuff. and life stuff

was just thinking when I started writing about #ADHDwomen I never thought it would be a huge public health topic the way it is now. I thought I could just write and then I'd magically find other women like me how naive HA

@RabbleChorus this is good. exactly what I needed. Make it ok for your daughter to be *herself* and then the ADHD stuff becomes sooooo much more manageable. You're the best!! I was already going this direction but you confirmed it

@HealthyADHD Meant to say that as a result she doesn’t have any issues with who she is or her ADHD really, she still doesn’t like parties, so she has a couple of good friends & a boyfriend & they do very little socially but they make eachother happy, playing cards against humanity etc!

any parents of teenage girls diagnosed with #ADHD out there? I have thoughts about the challenges....but I'd like to know what teenage girls actually feel about it. also what the parents feel are the big challenges. any input welcome

@RabbleChorus thank you for this! I think what you're saying is so relevant. moms in particular do this thing...they want to lead not allow the child to lead. It's almost like they think they can mold their daughters and therefore keep them safe

@HealthyADHD plays rugby for her county 💪🏽🤷🏼‍♀️. So my main thing would be to follow their lead I guess.

@pdnell oh that's a great insight....thank you!

@HealthyADHD Hi. Dx as adult and parent of teenager with ADHD. Everyone is different, but the hardest thing for me is remembering that sometimes she’s 18 and sometimes she’s 12.

@DrMarielyH I’ve been feeling this way too. I don’t know what’s going on cosmically speaking but something is off right now

@WhoTheAuDHDAmI sorry I missed this! and you are 100% right. whenever someone tells me they don't want to even *try* medication I want to point them to these studies

@HealthyADHD This does not come as a surprise to me. Giving someone appropriate medication so they can function & not develop mental illnesses as a result of never being good enough or constantly feeling like a failure reduces the need to drown their overwhelming negative emotions.

Editing/rewriting chapters that I wrote two years ago is hilarious. I haven't the foggiest idea what I was thinking so I end up rewriting quite a bit or changing my mind all together. **I"m actually enjoying this process** #ADHDwriter

knowing the etymology of "weird" makes me want to adopt it myself c. 1400, "having power to control fate," from wierd (n.), from Old English wyrd "fate, chance, fortune; destiny; the Fates,"

I am real tired of people feeling bad about being pregnant, how they deliver their babies, and then being under scrutiny during the *hardest* period of their lives. We are still held fully responsible for everything no matter the circumstances nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@adhdessentials It’s always about $$$

ADHD, OCD, etc… are not super powers. The superpower of those who think that they are, invariably, is money.

@HollieAnneB Agreeeeee

Jessie J saying ADHD and OCD are “superpowers if you look at it the right way” is sickening. I’m tired of the superpower rhetoric, that if you try hard you’ll see the good in it. It’s not the case. You can live a happy life but being disabled is rubbish bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Joe Biden has earned his place among the best and most consequential presidents in American history. I am so proud to serve under his leadership, and thankful for his unwavering focus on what is best for our country.

I actually mention in my book the unfortunate effects of mindreading on our relationships. we aren't very good at it, and it really affects our communication

I made a 3 sentence post on another platform 36 hrs ago and people are still responding with hate messages about stuff I **didn't actually write** But in their head they think I did? 🤣 It's like they're mindreading and doing a very bad job at it.
