Late dx ADHDer, she/her.
For a character summary, see Leslie Knope, Parks and Rec.

Prepared to be way too enthusiastic about a random mix of music, books, memes and science facts.

Self employed-this is my personal account.

So…I don’t have a photo of me, this is my personal account and I need a bit of separation from work things. But protecting my privacy shouldn’t mean others don’t get to weigh-up whether I’m someone they want to engage with, so I’ll leave this pinned.

great article about the devaluation of absolutely anything where women achieve 50%. which is a thing.

Right, December digital detox, let’s see how long I stick to it (and whether it does lead to me carrying out the academic research due to submit on 2nd January!!) See you in 2025 butterflies 🩷

Calling #bassists I have some non-bass related occupational elbow issues (“tennis elbow”) impacting playing. I don’t want to not play for too long but don’t want to aggravate. Any recommendations (*obviously* I’ve thought about buying a new bass, any excuse-sadly funds wouldn’t allow anyway).

Given the absolutely embedded ableism in our society and the already heartbreaking impact of inadequate access to healthcare on mortality and lifespan (with no other comorbidity) I’m terrified of what this opens the door to. Our whole society views disabled life as less worth living.
Assisted dying is a step closer to being legalised in England and Wales after MPs voted in its favour, but campaigners remain concerned that the safeguards are not yet rigorous enough to protect vulnerable people.

Assisted dying could be legalised. Are the safeguards enough?
The public has shown support for assisted dying being legalised, in principle, but disability campaigners are concerned.

I particularly like how people on here seem to genuinely not want drama and conflict for the sake of it, nobody gets sucked in by some bile-filled rage-bait comment, people just politely don’t mention or acknowledge them-it feels like everyone is in touch with their inner adult!

Didn’t realise how much I’d missed an online space that still felt truly connected and collaborative-the “other place” had gradually starved of the oxygen of kindness and here feels like coming back up to the surface of the water and taking a great big breath!! Hope it stays like this.

Today’s strongest #ADHD trait: trying to gauge how to write my BlueSky bio “correctly” but I keep seeing different tones & styles and I’ll write my overdue research proposal later, I need to hyper focus on this for the next four hours, it needs to be perfect also where’s the drink I just put down?
