I have a question for my and friends on here:

Do you prefer to cook or bake?

I have a theory that people with ADHD are cooks while people with autism are bakers. Baking is a science and has rules, and autistics LOVE rules. Cooking is the opposite, seasoning is all about vibes and going with the flow.

For all my AuDHD friends, which side do you fall on? I’m a baker, 100%. Cooking stresses me out, seasoning stresses me out… I even get pissed off with American baking recipes because measuring cups has too high of a margin of error. KITCHEN SCALES ARE SUPERIOR.

      This difference between my wife and my mother? My wife apologizes to my daughter after yelling at our daughter for behaviors that resemble or .

      Tonight, it's the bedtime routine. I wasn't present for the instructions, which I gather from the yelling were vague like "go to the bathroom and get ready." My wife is upset that she needed to communicate more specific instructions to an 8 year old. She feels that she should be able to say something vague and it happen. That being empty bladder, strip clothes, put up hair, and turn on the water to get to right temperature. I get some frustration if my daughter did this herself every bedtime routine and all of a sudden when it really mattered there was a sudden unexpected failure. Almost every night it's either my wife or I with the kid reminding the next step when thr kid falls off task. I don't get where the expectation came from that she'd do it herself.

      I now feel dysregulated over the yelling. I still have a racing heart rate at 124 beats per minute.

        TW: MAJORLY Depressive update on my life and situation. Death, loss, depression, drugs, and alcohol [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

        Hi everyone.

        I know I don't really post much here anymore, but this is gonna be a pretty long, pretty depressing update on my life.

        For the past year and a half, I've been on Threads, mostly discussing pro wrestling because it's been a lifelong passion of mine and there's not much discussion about it here.

        Well, back in April 2025, my dad got sick really bad with A-Fib and was bedridden. He's a big guy so it took me, my mom, and my sister to take care of him. Throughout 2025, I continued being the main one to be taking care of him while my mom and sister work, because as a lot of you know, I'm disabled.

        At the beginning of 2026, I thought things were looking up because he had just had surgery to try to alleviate the A-Fib and more personally, I had started "flirting" with this woman that had been a mutual for several months on Threads.

        I really took a liking to this woman because I had been attracted to her from her pics she'd post on Threads even before we started flirting. In my opinion, we had a TON in common in a way that I hadn't had in 10+ years and it got to the point where we'd seen each other's entire bodies and such.

        Well...at the end of February, my dad passed away suddenly from a heart attack and my entire facade of any sort of mental health went out the window.

        It was a LOT to deal with. Not only with the mental weight of losing my dad who's the only continuous person in my life that's been supporting me and being there for me and having to cremate him, but I also had the full burden of being the only legal right to all of his assets.

        I had to deal with 3 vehicles, a house, and a bank account. I got VERY QUICKLY mentally overwhelmed and started drinking to cope.

        Then, after the first week of March, right when I'm dealing with all this, the woman decides she doesn't want to flirt anymore and just wants to be friends. As someone that literally has nobody to talk to almost 90% of the time, and her filling a great portion of that beforehand, it shattered me completely. Especially because of how much I liked her beforehand, I felt like I had won the lottery and then blew the millions before I put it in my bank account. We weren't even in a relationship or anything. I just REALLY REALLY wanted to be and could see myself absolutely super happy with her.

        Ever since then, I've dealt with all of the assets and gotten everything in order and in my name for the most part.

        Now, I'm dealing with the fact that I have 1 friend that barely talks to me, and no goals or ambitions. I've had exactly one hug in 5 years and it was from my nephew while my dad was being worked on by EMTs.

        I am EXTREMELY lonely, manic depressive with PTSD, and extremely ADHD with strong RSD.

        I've been mentally in shambles. I've been drinking more than I'd like to admit but it makes the pain numb for awhile and I try not to bother anyone while I'm drunk. I also have been heavily smoking weed, but I've always smoked weed, it's just increased tenfold. I smoked 2 ounces this month and it'd normally take 2-3 months to smoke that much.

        I spent a bunch of my inheritance on wrestling show tickets and I'm taking my nephew because I feel like I HAVE to get out of this house. Being in this house alone with nobody to wrap my arms around and hold is literally destroying me mentally.

        Our first trip starts on Thursday and my mental is getting so bad that I'm worried I'm gonna lose my mind before then.

        Nobody really talks to me and when they do, one of us usually quickly runs out of things to say.

        Anyway, I'm sorry if I worry anyone with this post. That's not the point. I just figured i owed some people an update because I have a lot of you here that had supported me for a long time.

        I'll be fine I'm sure. Eventually. I'm not right now, but hopefully I will be eventually.

        Take care,
        Your friend,
        BeAware

                      Mutual Aid Requests Roundup 10/06/2026

                      Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended. This week’s mutual aid roundup listed twelve requests and eleven Palestinian campaigns that need movement. Just like me, they need help. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something, or maybe because this is the only thing I can give them. We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. If you can't or won't help me, then help them. Support them within your capacity in the way that matters—materially, socially, however you can. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                      Hello

                      Some weeks it feels like we’ve done something significant with ourselves, like nothing big enough can change our resolve. Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. Like the roundup goes out, the requests sit there, and the world continues producing the same conditions that made the requests necessary in the first place. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended.

                      We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. The isolation is manufactured. Nation-state governments, imperial powers did not just create material deprivation; they created the feeling that nobody is coming, that we are each alone in it. We are not.

                      This week’s mutual aid roundup listed 12 requests, yes. This won’t happen often. Listing the first 10 direct requests under my weekly checkpoint is still the rule; it still applies. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something within my capacity, or maybe because this is the only thing I can do to help them.

                      This roundup exists because I keep showing up to put it together. If this work has reached you or helped you find a way to make a difference from the safety of your home, I am asking you to spare me a little to cover the total of my monthly essentials. It’s been stuck at $4.48 of $375, with a deadline of 16 June.

                      As a disabled multitalented cryptid gal™ whose birth month is this month, a $5 monthly support helps me and this work the most. One-off support through my ko-fi goal or my monthly support package also helps me greatly. Either way, any support is appreciated.

                      If you can’t or won’t help me—help them. Support them.

                      Support them within your capacity in the way that matters — materially, socially, however you can. If the past couple of days taught me anything, it is that it’s so easy to feel helpless, to feel like there is no end to this. But it is by design. It is engineered to isolate, corner, render you helpless, while the whole time gaslighting you into believing that your existence, your survival needs justification, normalising suspicions in the name of security and protection, when it is just surveillance and control in the language of care.

                      And it isn’t you as a person or you and your hard earned income whose security and safety needs protection; it’s your paradigm, your worldview, it is the very thing shaped by systemic conditioning that is later called common sense—that makes poverty, unemployment, being unhoused, late paying rent, overdue debt and bills, seem like an individual failure, and a state of economic safety of an individual seem like evidence of meritocracy.

                      After being stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of grieving, feeling helpless, enraged, one after another for the past few days and how it only got more intense within the last 24 hours, I realised that there is hope too. That anger, scathingly judging, holding grudge against the system and the obscenely rich, is a sign that apparently I have not abandoned hope. I have even devised a series of sick scenarios for revenge against the rich in my anger. Clearly, even in my helpless, grieving, enraged state, I still have a vision for the future, that I’m still planning to have a future.

                      Hope.

                                      Bit of advice for every or person in general; bookmark and organize your research into folders named after what project you're working on, or download them as PDF's and do the same with normal folders.

                                      I'm currently sorting through a thousand open tabs of research I never organized, that got put on the back-burner for three years.

                                          Today's challenge is trying to organize objects in my home without getting completely snowed in by epistemological problems of taxonomy. I am looking at these assorted objects and just going blank on if and how they relate to each other, and where they should be put away.

                                          If this feels relatable and you have suggestions for how to get unstuck please let me know!

                                            A four-panel comic strip titled "Birding with ADHD:". In the first panel, a cartoon pigeon looks at an open book titled "NESTS" that contains an illustration of a nest. The second panel shows the cartoon pigeon holding a stick in its beak near several nests. The third panel shows the cartoon pigeon looking at a pile of sticks. The fourth panel is a photograph of a real pigeon on the ground next to sticks and a single white egg, with the text "chicken thoughts" in the bottom left corner.

                                              Swedish work environment authority part of the ministry of employment has issued guidelines to suggest to employers the screening of employees with Autism or ADHD, to collect data about whether and how they are capable of dressing themselves and their body hygiene, along with their religious beliefs. The guideline misses to define scope and regulation of this data collection as of who is allowed to access this data and what it may be used for.

                                                Many more women than men have been diagnosed over the years with ‘personality disorders’.

                                                These labels are much more personally damning than autism or ADHD - as they judge who you are, rather than explaining how you function.
