I record and produce podcasts about beer and travel and make stuff to sell on Etsy, so I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm AuDHD.

The year 2025 being divisible by 5 makes my neuro-spicy brain very happy. Not to mention it being divisible by 25 also.
It just feels whole, it feels complete, it feels correct.
The only better thing is when we get to 2050.

I just released a new hat style over on my Etsy store. I started making these hats in order to help pay for all the Christmas expenditures, so what I'm saying is every hat sold puts more gifts under the tree for my kids. 🎅
A new hat style is now available for purchase online! The black and white Santa hat is at the same time formal and casual, and will stand out at any Christmas function you decide to grace with your presence. Get yours while supplies last! dapperandjolly.etsy.com

It's almost painful to remember the hope and optimism we had back 17 years ago. We live in such an angry and pessimistic world now that having this much joy for the future seems like fiction. Let's start to turn it all around, starting with your local elections today. Get out and vote! #ElectionDay
Millions of people turned out to vote 17 years ago today, fueled by the hope that change is possible. So many still remember that anticipation and excitement.
Relive that moment with a preview of one of the election night stories we’ll tell at the Obama Presidential Center.

Anyone who won't condemn what was said in the Young Republicans leaked chat messages also talk like that when they think no one can see or hear them.

So, the Supreme Court has given protections to the President for what they do while in office, but no one else has those protections, right? Like, everyone else can be held accountable and prosecuted once they're not being protected by the current administration, correct?

If you have a rudimentary understanding of how scientific research is done, you'd know why this "cause of autism" is bull crap.

Still blaming liberals for the Kirk killing, even after we all know it wasn't from the left, and now trying to go after them really feels like they're just trying to incite violence from the left by blatantly lying, just so they'd actually have justification for their actions in the future.

I need to get filthy rich, so I can start a grant program that requires products produced from it to be designed & styled to look like something from the early Alien & Star Wars franchises. I want copious amounts of blinking lights, clunky keyboards, and toggle switches.

Alien: Earth reminded me how Weyland-Yutani is one of the best names ever created to name something. It just sounds and feels fantastic, and totally encompasses everything that the corporation is supposed to be.

I've never been someone who fits nicely into what was considered a "man" so this notion of manhood is something I've struggled with my whole life. Being an adolescent in the 80s, hyper-masculinity in media was everywhere & being a quiet, shy, artistic, & nerdy kid certainly wasn't what was expected.
Trump isn't the solution to the "crisis of manhood," he's the problem
The misogyny comes fast and furious. Anything real to make men's lives better? Not so much.

I feel like there should be a series of jokes, in the style of Jeff Foxworthy, about people on the Epstein list.
"If you accuse Obama of treason, you might be on the Epstein list"
"If you shut down Congress early to avoid releasing documents, you might be on the Epstein list"

Maybe I was naive, but I never thought our political tribalism was so bad that we'd be okay trampling the Constitution just to say that your team is winning.

Most times I try to rein in my ADHD urges to keep starting new projects all the time, because I realize that I'll probably abandon old ones never accomplishing anything, but I sometimes also want to let it run wild and do it ALL.

One of my many ADHD side projects is being a seamster and making hats and other accessories, like currently I'm making duffle bags. Make sure you follow my account @dustychair.com and also follow on Instagram and my store over on Etsy. Much love!
The biggest hurdle I have in constructing these new bags is working with the zipper. I don't have a lot of experience with them, but I'm getting the hang of it. Hopefully will have some for sale in my Etsy shop soon!

There's been points where I thought Trump might actually have an evil plan, but I think that gives him too much credit. If this second term has shown us anything, it's that he's actually clueless and only propped up his whole life by other rich people with their own evil plans.

Nintendo is delaying pre-orders for the Switch 2 because of Trump's tariffs.
I would have thought there would have already been many things we as a country would have united against that Trump has done, but maybe this is actually the thing!

My ADHD dream: Having enough $ to be able to follow my millions idea to fruition & build an empire of cool but only loosely related companies & projects, any of which I may forgot I started or lose interest in them so I hire someone else to keep them going, thus generating more $ for more ideas.

The way Trump turns around his public opinion is by forming a special task force that helps him come up with better and less racist nicknames for people he wants to talk about. Lean into his whole nicknaming people thing.
