The problem with having ADHD in this society is that I need accommodations to help me advocate to get the diagnosis to be able to get accommodations with

Especially because they (intentionally??) set the system up in such a way that the people who need it the most have the most difficulty accessing it

Please I literally have an executive function disorder please don't make me do things that require initiative and checking in to make sure I have /actually/ been put on the years-long waitlist

@rune @phoenix@chaos.social Yeah, this does not sound fun to manage at all...

burnout, writers block, unsolicited advice 

@toni A bit of unsolicited advice, in the hope that it helps: on the face of it that sounds like burnout, and for me the most effect way to deal with that has been to just immediately declare the day "over, impossible to salvage", and go do whatever else I feel like doing for the rest of the day.

Sometimes I'll magically become inspired again later in the day, due to the weight of "performance stress" having been dropped from my shoulders (now it's just something I *can* do, not something I *have* to do!), sometimes I won't. But either way it helps a lot for me to recover :)

Trying to 'push myself past it' only worked for a while, and eventually started becoming counterproductive... of course this may work totally differently for you! But it took me a long time personally to figure out the "declare the day over" approach, so hopefully I can help to save others from that delay :p

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Main thing is, don't use flexible hoses for a permanent installation, and if you *do* use flexible hoses, they need to be replaced every few years, even if they still *look* fine

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Honestly the risk isn't actually *that* big if you use a safe hose setup, and have a CO detector

@rune @phoenix@chaos.social Oof. That looks like someone caught a bad case of scalability disease...

surprised no one's drawn much of a link between the state health and social care has been in in the UK over the past couple decades and the fact all the jobs going unfilled are the ones that require able bodied people

@phoenix@chaos.social @rune 3k users is like, almost nothing though?

whether you're cis or trans, if you accept trans people but ignore or think less of or ditch the ones who aren't cheery all the time, aren't your idea of a "cute trans person", or have struggles that require you to accommodate them, you're actually still just a transphobe

my bank has a Pride theme so now when I open the app there's a rainbow next to my deadname

@aeva@mastodon.social I don't know, I think the main problem here is that browsers try to fulfill the "instantly run software anywhere without install" and the "universal application platform" dreams at the same time, and that results in some complicated privacy issues (like fingerprinting) that would be less of a concern if all the software you ran was trusted to some degree... though then again with how *non-browser* software constantly snitches on people in the background, I'm not sure the fingerprinting issue is even that prominently an issue in the bigger picture

@aeva@mastodon.social And policy/monopolist problems *suck*, but it definitely proves that the goal itself is quite achievable in the real world!
