Severe ADHD here and one thing I've always excelled at is acting under pressure during crises when others like my ASD mom are having meltdowns. It's the emotional ruminating I'll have for months afterwards that I have trouble with. But while everything's actively falling apart? Cool as a cucumber.

I'm lucky my aunt has an endless supply of horse manure ready to be scooped up out of the fields. This year my main focus will be heriloom green tomatoes, but also trying a little bit of everything else. I've been spending years making compost and finally have a raised bed going, so hopeful!

Social media really amplifies hate, similar to getting behind the wheel and getting road rage. We're hardwired to need face-to-face contact and when we don't have it there's all kinds of issues.
