If you hear ADHD and think "everyone has trouble paying attention" or that people "just need to learn to focus," then you please unfollow me now. It's real, I have it, and I have no patience for the naysayers.
Request Detour:
Today’s stop is #ADHDPride by request. I wish I’d written down their name. (Next time I will) I hadn’t known there was a #Pride flag for #ADHD, turns out there are like 4, but this is the all inclusive one.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Every opinion piece in the Washington Post must now follow Bezos' new rightwing guidelines. Writers can say that they would have written the same thing anyway, but the fact remains: Their piece was only published because it met his new rightwing guidelines.

White Christian Nationalism
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
