Walking on the treadmill while listening to a podcast and signing along to the music the gym is playing all at the same time.
My ADHD is thriving, y'all.
π₯ hot take (maybe) π₯
experiencing imposter syndrome is not an automatic indicator that you're an ethical business owner, and NOT experiencing imposter syndrome is not an indicator that you're automatically an unethical business owner.
anxiety and morality are not connected, y'all
Gentle call-in:
Please don't call the current administration unintelligent.
Not for their sake, fuck them infinitely.
But for people with intellectual disabilities in our lives, who are not evil or less than because of their intelligence.
Call this administration what they are: evil & cruel.
π« Donβt: βEveryone is a little autistic.β
β
Do: βAutistic traits are not exclusive to Autistic people
and itβs the cumulative constellation of traits that they have
that fundamentally differs from the lived experiences of Non-Autistic people.β
(A bit wordy, but maybe the nuance is worth it.)
Nothing has exposed my attachment trauma the way running a business and being on social media has. I have had to do so. much. healing. just to exist as a business owner online.
When somebody doesnβt know Iβm autistic
βWhy is she so socially awkward/shy?β
If I mention Iβm autistic
βYou canβt be autistic, you seem normalβ
Exercise regularly! Or at all! I just want to move my body but actually doing that feels impossible.
I think I'm allergic to alcohol. I probably always have been, but now that I'm old (30) it's not worth it to drink it anymore.
I just wanted a peach margarita, and now I feel like death.
Send me all your fave zero proof tequila recs!
I can live without alcohol, I cannot live without margs, lol.
Aquarius, more than any other sign, is naturally oriented toward collective liberation.
We're in Aquarius season now.
Think of Aquarius like a driving wind, absolutely determined to push the world where it needs to go.
Be the wind.
Emotional regulation hack:
Treat your big mood swings like a toddler having a tantrum.
Give it a hug and a juice box but then give it a little space. Let it freak out a bit.
This is not avoidance. It's healthy (& temporary) distraction.
Come back to it when it feels less overwhelming.
I feel like I'm failing at the finish line, like I've worked so hard to get here, but it took everything I had to get here and I'm terrified I don't have enough left to get it all done and do it justice.
Oh ADHD. You truly are debilitating sometimes.
Thou shalt not kill' also means 'thou shalt not let profit margins decide who lives and who dies.'
I'm walking at the gym, and out of about 10 people I've passed, 7 of which were men, 4 actively tried to share the walking space.
Only one of those 4 was a man.
I mean, wtf.
Dear men,
If a woman (or y'know, anyone) is walking toward you, you should not assume they will be the one to get out of the way.
Even if they do try to make room for you, please try to make room for them too.
I cannot believe we are still having this conversation in 2024.
Lololol, literally me right now
I love having kids.
No joke, no punchline, I'm just having such a good afternoon with them and I'm so grateful that each one of them exists and I get to be their mama.
Y'all. I just had the most amazing call with a business coach who is SO talented at pulling good ideas out of my head. I don't think she's on here, but here's her link to the program I'm in, Magic AF Messaging.
Seriously, highly, highly recommend:

Autism: things need 100% of my attention
ADHD: I like taking on more things than I can ever pay attention to
AuDHD: I HAVE TRIED TO PAY 100% ATTENTION TO MUTLIPLE GALAXIES OF INFORMATION OF THOUGHT AND NOW THE ABYSS GAZES INTO ME
The thing about "self-diagnosis" is that if you're an adult there's a lot of stuff that's never getting caught at regular checkups if you don't bring it up yourself. If you've made it to adulthood with undiagnosed ADHD, you're probably not getting help with it unless you ask.
Having ADHD as an entrepreneur sometimes REALLY sucks.
I've done over a hundred sales for Black Friday and guess what?
Literally no one has received their purchases because of a tiny error I made in setting up the sales page.
Having ADHD can make you feel so incompetent when you know you're not.
I'm incredibly nervous about being on here, because I have a nasty tendency to use social media as a way to earn love through its gross approximation: attention. But this place seems...good?
Follow if you're looking for a neurotic, autistic leftist with matching inferiority & superiority complexes.
I literally just got on Bluesky and saw this almost immediately. Safe to say the algo knows me already.
