If you’re looking for things to read about how evangelicals got to today, highly recommend this thread of Alissa Wilkinson’s Christian pop culture writing.

If you've seen me in person, I've probably told you but I have ADHD and so many life struggles I thought were personal failures make so much sense.

One thing I wish every ADHDer knew: Even for neurotypical people, the average brain appears to get about ~3 hours of focus for productive, "high mental energy" work per day. Just three hours. Which means we need to redefine what a productive day looks like for all of us. 🧵

Last night after way too much time searching I found a genuine delight of a movie on Netflix: The History of Future Folk (2012). Secret aliens, bluegrass music, red bucket hats, salsa dancing. I’ll add as I find more gems.

I just listened to THE BEST talk about how to get through the hard middle of any project while at Write The Docs PDX this morning. Recap below. I will be re-listening, sharing with everyone on my team.

Self acceptance has been the biggest change for me since diagnosis. Every day I get a little better at giving myself a break for forgetting things, zoning out, and resisting tasks. I think that one change has freed up monumental mental energy I can now use to be kind to myself.

All my fellow devastated exvangelicals, what moved you toward embracing more liberal ideas? How can we spark that same change in our friends and families? That’s what I’m trying to think about today. How did I change, and how can I get people I love there too.
