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.

Ongoing list of my hyperfocus hobbies: embroidery, cross stitch, and making a Halloween pom pom wreath for my front door.

A quick look at Wesley’s teaching methods (and how much fun he is). Which map is the best?

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.

Wesley and I have been playing Wordle all week and I miraculously got it in two this morning! ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The Bolin Books storefront is coming along after a week of hard work!

Have experienced this 😔

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.
