#adhd folks, please advise, what do you do when you need to do something, its something you want to do, but its not the right kind of want to do, and the mental wall has already been built. i can do the thing and focus on it for maybe 15 min at a time, and then get repelled so furiously i cant read words. i'm lightly medicated, ive eaten and slept, ive tried body doubling (not available right now) and other environmental changes. and ill reiterate its a thing i WANT to do that i find interesting. im a bit at a loss
Find of the day: Horse Browser - a browser for people with #ADHD (or who like organization in general). Interesting concept. https://browser.horse (via @rmondello)
So many people are posting about how much they disapprove of New Years resolutions that now I want to make some just to be ornery.
Social pressure to be cool is no match for the #ADHD penchant for pointless rebellion.
@claudiom I ended up switching to using #ffssb with #Firefox under #OpenBSD to keep memory management in-check:

Of course, my workstation is old, slow, and only has 8GB or RAM (soldered!) While occasionally launching a couple separate instances of Firefox seems counter-intuitive (memory usage-wise), it helps me silo tasks/browsing and remember to clean up tabs when I'm done with them... because #ADHD.
Life with #ADHD: The Hidden Cognitive Load Behind “Losing Things”
https://katecarruthers.com/2026/01/04/life-with-adhd-the-hidden-cognitive-load-behind-losing-things/
Here's my argument for why we're not just getting better at detecting autism and ADHD in the kids - the actual occurences of these neurodevelopmental disorders are also on the rise.
And we're the cause.
#ADHD interesting research paper https://scitechdaily.com/this-brain-discovery-could-change-how-adhd-is-treated/ I guess this will be at best 5 years out from any useful medication
Ahem...*taps mic*
This here be my beige.party #Introduction
I'm a Gen X (1967) American who works in security for a living. I feel fortunate to have grown up through the 70s, 80s, and the 90s. I kinda look at that as the Yahtzee! of pop culture. What a time to be a nerd!
Music defines me. I don't have just a soundtrack to my life, I have a boxed set, including rare demos and unreleased live recordings. Wanna get to know me? Hang around for my music posts.
A song that's...me?
I am ADHD, and have Dysthymia to boot. I live an unmedicated life, and am kind of a mess as a result. I'm not anti-medication, it's just that I can't seem to stay on the wagon. If you follow me, and I don't immediately follow you back, don't take it personal. I'm trying to deal with over stimulation.
Politically...jeebus. To make it easy, I'm a Democratic Socialist. Honestly, I hate trying to define myself.
What I am (consider the following "AF"): Pro-choice, Pro trans rights, as well as a firm believer that women can do whatever the blue hell they want. I'm pro-sexwork, and pro pineapple on pizza (DO NOT COME AT ME ON THAT ONE).
I DO NOT. LIKE. NAZIS.
If you are a nazi, I do not like you. My great uncle put bushels of you in the ground in WW II. Follow Hitler's example and suck on the end of a loaded Luger.
I'm religious, and by that, I shall refer to a quote attributed to Gandhi: "I consider him religious who recognizes the suffering of others." I am a bit all over the place, and do not blindly follow any specific dogma. I have my thing. It's not everybody's thing, but that's okay. Everybody else has their thing. It may not necessarily be my thing, but that's okay. Whatever your thing is, may it bring you comfort and peace of mind. Just don't be a wanker.
I am very pro Fediverse, and pro FOSS. Technology can be very cool and wondrous, if we choose to make it that way. I'm a Linux user, and have shed all but two mainstream social media platforms. I am attempting to de-google my life. I am VERY anti-AI.
Be kind. Always.
Lord, but I did ramble a one. That's ADHD for ya, folks: LOADS of bonus content!
