I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.

Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.

Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk

I’m guessing that’s a typo given he died in 2019?

My dog smells my car bumper on days I’ve been out, so I assume she thinks I’m taking the car for a walk

From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.

He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.

He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish

I lived in Seattle and greater area for nearly a decade and had very few complaints about the transit system. I think the worst was it got pretty hot on the busses during the summer when everyone was leaving work lol

I left right as they started working on the light rail, why is traffic still so bad?

Tundra Swans are much smaller than Trumpeters. But the giveaway to me is the little white spot near the Tundra’s eye.

That or the pages are littered with paragraph-long highlights, underscores, and “THIS!!!” in the margins but no critical thought or insights on the passages

Ah! Okay once you finish all the bundles you’ll get the quest. It’s a grind, but worth it ^.

The closer one is the tundra swan, but there’s no way I’d know that in person if they are moving around and such. That hunter is absolutely correct

It’s in the theater! You have to choose the community center path then you’ll get a quest to convert the abandoned Joja warehouse.

I was going to bring up taking Abigail on a date to see cheesy movies and feeding her rock candy, but I enjoy the crane game a little bit more than that lol

I’m optimizing so I can afford to win all the prizes in the crane game 😅

Why not Zoidberg?

I have a friend that jokes about stealing her dog’s kennel so her kids and pets don’t pile on her while she’s trying to study. That’s one way to enforce boundaries I guess lol

Land snails are hermaphroditic

I can’t meditate in the way that everyone describes. I have a similar combination of brain traits, so I’ll share what helps me. One small caveat, I also have c-ptsd and my experience is that even my choice for meditation analog isn’t going to be helpful until you’re able to use therapeutic skills to protect yourself (like acknowledgment and redirection).

I have been told this counts as a “ritual” which might give you a keyword to find something for yourself that you’d prefer. But what I do is I make tea or coffee in a methodical and intentional way. Everything from choosing my beans, tea or herbal ingredients to the method of brewing gives me a chance to center myself and work out things that may be troubling me. I use a hand grinder and gooseneck kettle to make pour-over coffee. I harvest my own herbs or put together my own blend for tea and use a blooming pot. It’s very sense-driven but routine, which is important for my ADHD and autism to sit happily together for a few minutes.

Some people go for a run and find that meditative, I can see it because I feel similarly when I go for a hike to collect plant specimens. Really, with ADHD you may find that getting your body senses involved (yes even with primary inattentive) helps your brain loosen up and hit that meditative point. I don’t think I’ve ever had a silent brain, and I think that’s a sticking point for a lot of people when it comes to meditation. You can still have the benefits with a loud brain :)

I take issue with using a phylogeny as evidence, because a phylogeny is a hypothesis. Or maybe I’m an idiot and don’t know what I’m talking about lol

My grandmother fully believed in sasquatch as a species, with subspecies in various environments. The ones where she grew up in the northeast were apparently larger, less hairy and more fat than the ones in the swamps where I grew up. To this day I still think she had just seen hunters, but she knew what she saw lol

If my name had a pronoun in it, bet I’d be putting them under my name on everything. Because that’s super funny to me

Are you going to delete this one too?

c/superbowl deserves to see this lol
