A couple of weeks ago I removed from my reader because I was disgusted at the way it fawned over the recent tabloid TV dumpster fire about .

I have a few categories in my RSS app, including , , and , but my category is now empty. The Guardian was the last mainstream global media feed I had been willing to tolerate.

And I've found I really don't miss it. "But you should stay informed!" Nah. No longer interested. My life and mental health are significantly improved by not knowing or being pressured to care about things that don't directly involve me.

      Hey ADHD fam, here's the deal with stimulants. They're not just for focus - they can actually help calm those racing thoughts too!

      Research shows that medications like Ritalin and Adderall improve cognitive control in ADHD brains by modulating neurotransmitters, leading to better emotional regulation as well.

              When RSD strikes, criticism feels like a punch in the gut. But remember, it's just feedback, not rejection.

              Studies show that people with ADHD are more sensitive to criticism due to RSD, making it crucial to practice self-compassion and mindful responses. BrainJoos can help track patterns of how you react.

                      “Just be less autistic.”

                      “Just be less ADHD.”

                      “Just be more well-adapted to the society you were born into.”

                      “Just care more about things you don’t care about, and less about the things you do.”

                      “Just do the things you find hard, that I don’t. It’s easy!”

                          I think a lot of project management and team leadership would benefit from understanding neurodiverse behaviour, especially executive function.

                          I've always had various troubles with my personal exec func, and at least my past pro management studies have not helped with any of that.

                                                    My schools were places to escape...

                                                    What were your experiences?
                                                    Kindergarten?
                                                    Grade school?
                                                    GRAD school?

                                                    ESCAPE School was a place to escape… from. Into doodling. Into cracking wise. Into my basement microscope. Into comic books. Into sci-fi. Into seeing things… that were not there. Watching thoughts that aren’t… mine… Now do… work? Now do… friends? Now do… family. Now do… Old. Age. Now… Do that math.

                                                      Other *relevant* experts have also now contributed to the damning criticisms of 'The Great Myth?', with more professionalism than me. But less rage-fuelled snark. Which, let's be fair, is probably helpful

                                                          I’ve been meaning to watch Channel 4’s documentary The Great Myth all week, not because I think I’ll agree with it’s assertion that ADHD is a a ‘social construct’ but because I wanted to see what tricks the latest fighters of a culture war on are using.

                                                          Professor Gina Rippon, whose books I’ve read and seen speak, eloquently shreds the documentary here:

                                                              If you want speed, tell a psychiatrist that you can't concentrate.
