@toledomudhen @drmoore @TuckerCarlson Declining cultural dominance is not the same as persecution. Real faith stands if you’re the last person on Earth with your beliefs.

@su_dreams Would need to expand on this part because yeah that’s the essence of adhd…you don’t know what to do bc everything seems equally important. This is why only deadlines & emergencies activate what to do first

*note - I've noticed that not everyone finds this intuitive. What we do in that case is follow a guided visualization - a walk through a forest, beach etc. with progressive relaxation and we meet this part. That makes it a little easier to "connect" for the overly cognitive folks

I hear this often amongst ADHD clients. It's not so much that they're exhausted from doing nothing - it's that the exhaustion drove them to do nothing. The "nothing" is often a "shut down state" - where there's too many parts trying to be heard. "We've gotta finish this task!" "No, I'd rather watch this movie" "Oooo but this shiny object though" "Wait, I scrolled for an hour and didn't even realize - why I am so useless" "Oh no, I'm useless, aren't I. What's the point really" *Subconsious thought " That's of course just one way it can go but it's usually some combination of overwhelm, shame, indecision, anxiety. Of course it's going to be exhausting! Something I've found to be useful in that situation (especially when I need to get something done and don't have time to "speak with" and unravel the stories of all these parts is to consult with a designated wise part. This could be me in the future, or someone I look up to, or some ambiguous symbol of wisdom and comfort. I simply check in with that one part of me "What should I be doing now?" or if I'm not working, more generally "Where should I focus my attention now" The more I connect to this part, the easier it gets

@somethings_awry Vyvanse my heart felt like water bubbling inside. Adderall, nothing. Nap time. Lol. So weird the effects.

What stimulants do to a mfer with ADHD

Aww this is so cute. They are and no one’s going to stop them bc that’s the bed that’s been made. 😑

@nienna121 You’ve had a baby, you guys are moving, things are changing, I’d say you’ve done a great job! 👏

Oh also being married to a law student has been extremely taxing as well lol. Homeschool moms have been telling me I do too much but I do think I need to provide my daughter with the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic along with all the other fun things we do 🤷🏻‍♀️

I homeschooled for all the right reasons this year and those reasons are what’s left me feeling so burnt out lol. A double edged sword!

@michelleakin Took me a sec on side show

rebus puzzles my 4th grader brought home, anyone?

@lagerandkettle @Charlygotyou What’s the next move after that lol

@Charlygotyou yeah that but I tried coke and suddenly could manage daily household tasks

ten years before i knew I had ADHD i took adderall at a music festival. my friends were all jacked up and dancing but I was like “it’s suddenly manageable for me to sit calmly under this tree and reply to some text messages”

@HannahWardEdu Also want Pleasant Company back but we know that ship has sailed

This is great - can we also do a full re-release of the ORGINAL books? Not consolidated versions or shortened versions or bundled versions or blah blah blah. GIVE US OUR BOOKS BACK!!! Full reprints! Just print the books! They're getting harder and harder to find. 😭

How many parents would love to have an ipod for their young kids to listen to music. Bring them back!

@libriscent We want it to get done but that is asking an awful lot

it doesn’t have to get done, it just has to be perfect. - the ADHD proverb

@BasedZillenial @robbannasophia Ok I didn’t know about these. I loved reading all the books as a kid. I had Addy

Samantha is the best American Girl movie and it’s not even close.

@Zo_bo_fo_sho Enchanted apple anyone

Millennial women were you cucumber melon or sweet pea

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump Ridiculous response sir

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

@racheljwelcher West Elm

If you could pick only one store to decorate your house from (with unlimited budget, cause we're dreamin' here) what would it be? I think mine would be World Market.

@GamewithDave Number munchers

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@KateKinard @owroot My mom would get pissed when we ate all these

We need an (anti) nostalgia account dedicated to basically all the really gross 90s and 00s stuff just to really remind us about the nasty side.

@CBSNews “The pope is lying and theologically wrong but I’m not” gtfo of here

Vice President JD Vance responded to a man heckling him during a Turning Point USA event held at the University of Georgia on Tuesday. The heckler blurted out, "Jesus Christ doesn't support genocide," as Vance was answering a question about Pope Leo XIV's comments about the Iran war, to which the vice president replied, "I agree, Jesus Christ certainly does not support genocide, whoever yelled that out from the dark."

@TiffaniMarie483 I just went roller skating for the first time in like 20 years, helped my 6yo learn how, and it was th most fun in a while just like being a kid again.

Having children is the closest you’ll ever come to having a second childhood. As an adult, I’m jaded. But kids still see the world as fresh and new. Everything is magical and interesting to them. It heals my soul and rekindles some of the joy I use to have.

@RealMartyT7 @RpsAgainstTrump Remember pudding fingers

@RpsAgainstTrump Ron DeSantis is working really hard sucking up to Trump in hopes of a nod from Trump when DeSantis runs for president again in 2028. DeSantis 2028 will be another fools errand for ‘Meatball Ron’ or whatever Trump is calling him these days

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill naming the 125-mile stretch of State Road 80 the “President Donald J. Trump Highway.”

@alyssaleann The white one disappeared completely for 2-3 years I swear and it’s resurrecting it’s a miracle

@jpbrca The nice thing about peonies is they were going to die back in the fall anyway! Our plants look like trash by July, and the first couple of years it freaked me out; but as long as they had enough time to feed on the sun, they’re always plenty happy come April

“what beautiful flowers!” “thanks, I grew them!” 🤗

@alyssaleann Every time my father in law goes on and on about how proud he is my kids have his last name it’s like nails on a chalkboard. Like, I get it and I’m happy for him. But it’s so tone deaf to what women give up without question.

somewhat seriously re: married last names… I’m happily married and have been since I was 21 years old. I changed my last name, and wish I hadn’t. I don’t regret it enough to undo it, and I do love sharing a name with my husband but I wouldn’t do it again I felt (and still feel, a little bit) that I killed a part of myself when I changed my name. that feels dramatic to say, and it is! I would prefer not to feel this way, but I haven’t been able to shake it the feeling didn’t sink in until a friend sent me a picture of my name engraved on the sidewalk of my university (a tradition for the graduating classes); and that wasn’t my name anymore. Alyssa Mars no longer existed years later, I saw my maiden name on an old paper I wrote and my brain didn’t recognize it as Me for a second; when it finally clicked, I felt genuine sadness names are important, and that’s why we fight about them so much. I don’t think that fighting is useful, and I don’t think there’s a right answer or that our choices are even a particularly good or interesting reflection of our values or affections each couple should be thoughtful about their choice, unburdened by family and societal pressures and honest about what their name means to them
