It is with a heavy heart we confirm the deaths of Constable Matthew Arnold and Constable Rachel McCrow. Their lives were cut tragically short in the line of duty at Wieambilla yesterday. With Honour They Served.

Please normalize letting people eat their lunch alone if they want and decompressing for 30 min without the pressure of being considered antisocial in the workplace.

The number one best tip I have for anyone dealing with chronic illness is to make your health binder. I’m waiting in the lobby at urgent care, and I swear, even when the intake nurses see it, they treat me so differently.

@SimuLiu What would your hotpot soup base and additions be? Thank you for Shang Chi, such an amazing Asian representation!

Aaron Swartz would have been 36 today. Aaron committed suicide after being sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR.

@Gabby_Brauner27 Australia here, never had to pay for one. We also have select subsidised medication, so my AUD$40 inhaler is my most expensive medication, and this is for a pack of two, and I just looked up the price in the US, USD $507 for one inhaler

Got a $450 bill for my Pap smear because the office put me as self pay and didn’t charge my insurance. That’ll get sorted out (although annoying) but can we talk about how a screening test is $450……

@tamera @MdeBohun By that logic, no one is allowed to care about any culture besides their own?

@MdeBohun Why would Black Americans (whose culture was appropriated) care about Henry, Anne, or English history?

A fair number of people liked this tweet, including the "Dr" (of course male) who is responsible for this fiasco of a show. Didn't read my reply where I didn't like the blacksplotation and such, but you do you. We won't watch. Those who actually enjoy real history.

Day 216 of tweeting Harry Potter mems until Harry Potter Magic Awakened is released #HarryPotterMagicAwakened #HarryPotter

would you want to move into a little cottage for 30 days for a digital detox where you will only have access to books and delicious homemade food and a river nearby to take dips in?

My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵

@WhatTheADHD Sure!

I made my own ADHD symtpom questionnaire with 17 questions and a 0-4 rating scale. The results provide raw scores as well as a fixed calculation of a score out of 10 for overall, hyperactivity, impulsivity, & inattention. Anyone willing to test it out?

ADHD is basically just rotating through various states of “stuck” • stuck doing absolutely nothing • stuck researching my latest obsession • stuck staring at my phone • stuck cleaning everything in sight • stuck waiting for a meeting to start (in 3 hours)

"Good girl" conditioning is messaging we receive beginning in childhood to be: agreeable, polite, and nice. HERE'S WHAT IT IS:

@adhdjesse Socialisation is so important. We chose to crate train, as dachshunds are prone to separation anxiety, so trained for that as well. Puppy blues will happen, but work in shifts and give the other person a break it helps keep everyone sane. Breed specific research and puppy school

Picking up our new puppy (mini golden doodle) in a week and WILDLY unprepared. Any advice or resources for new puppy owners? 😅

Current games I am in the middle of playing: Modern Warfare 2 Elder Scrolls Online Diablo 3 Metal Gear Solid 5 A Plague Tale Gotham Knights Rise of the Tomb Raider Resident Evil 7 Alan Wake Assassin’s Creed Valhalla I *might* have #ADHD idk

ADHD'ers: *does 40 hours of work in an 8-hours hyperfocus and urgency fueled bender* Them: This is amazing! You have so much potential. Here's some more work. The very same ADHD'ers: *struggles for 8 hours to get the executive function to do a simple task* Them: God, you're lazy

@kristin__house @WhatTheADHD I thought everyone had this, which is why I prefer morning shifts otherwise I just count down until work 😐

@WhatTheADHD What's that ADHD thing where I can't do anything if I have an important meeting/call/event later in the day? I'm frozen in my seat and cannot function until it happens.

"What's that ADHD thing....?" Community thread 🧵 Reply with an ADHD thing you struggle with, and then wait for other ADHDers to reply to tell you what it's called (or just what *they* call it!) (and yes, you can reply to your own ADHD thing with what *you* call it!)

“If we’re both single by a certain age we will marry each other” is always a fun story concept but it could be even better if the pact is made between rivals as a drunken dare and they go on to sabotage each other’s relationships because they’ve been secretly in love all along
