Pre-Elon Twitter; a little like if Coca-Cola sold pretty good pop, and yet constantly tried to get you to use it to make red velvet cake, degrease parts etc.

Post-Elon Twitter; a little like if Coca-Cola constantly tried to get you to pay more for increasingly lousy pop, possibly because the company wanted to ensure only people the owner liked would drink their pop.

"Many with ADHD are motivated to first fulfill urgent and unimportant tasks such as responding to the requests of others, because someone else’s sense of urgency seems more important than their own needs. Also, doing something for someone else can lead to quick positive feedback and provide a welcome break from what may be a stressful task. The Eisenhower matrix prioritizes what’s most important instead of what’s most immediately gratifying."

Well yes and no, my neurotypical friend. It's NOT even vaguely about gratifying, it's that there's someone who NEEDS me to solve math problems or who NEEDS me to help them in the kitchen or who NEEDS me to work overtime hauling stuff in a warehouse or who NEEDS me to pay rent which they've just increased etc, etc, etc. I am trying to survive, not to surf waves of serotonin here.

so this came on KEXP earlier! I don't think I'd heard it since the 70s. I don't think mainstream children's programs today are so oblique about a man made threat to all life on earth but maybe they are?

#drawing today, more of the small D&D player characters idea from Monday. Clerics and one of the two wizards! Semi finished some of the other classes too.

Dude, I didn’t even know Soundgarden covered “Girl U Want” and that was awesome but now I want coffee, American spirits, and the men seeking men section of the stranger

I didn't know the Black Army had co-opted "Yablochko" as a song

seems like this is an appropriate follow up to a Makhnovist take about beating up the Communists *and* the bourgeoisie

So that was day one on top of dubious sleep, and some upset after a fairly good weekend. I feel a lot less scared and way low on energy.
