By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.
Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.
This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):
Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):
Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.
But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:
Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.
Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation
Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.
Meditation
Martial arts
Sports in general
Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)
Woodworking
Cooking
If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers
Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

Dear mutuals and followers, sorry for the politics in your dashboard but in some homes today we cannot afford to "ignore the problems".
The country where I come from, Venezuela, has had an election for president that has resulted in fraud. Mr. Nicolás Maduro has proclaimed himself President although the votes have said the opposite. This regime has devastated the lives of its citizens, resorting to violence against those who opposed it. It has brought ruin to a nation once celebrated as a pioneer of Latin American independence, yet many choose to overlook its plight. Venezuela, a country that once extended support to immigrants and provided aid to others, is now dismissed as insignificant by many.
If you are an advocate who values the dignity and needs of individuals, we urge you to raise your voice alongside us. Don't ignore us because we are Latinos, this is also a war. It is a conflict against an individual who has controlled his armed forces, law enforcement, narcotics syndicates, and citizens, rendering any attempts at reform futile despite our vocal protests. I have family members who are unable to depart through legal means, and if they choose to leave unlawfully, they face harsh judgment from people of the outside.
If you are interested, here are more information you may read:

will you update your “about the artist” reel now that it’s been a long time
yeah definitely, just probably more in the ballpark of october-november both so it’s been closer to a full year since upload and also since in the meantime i have health shit to deal with :p
Emergency, read my story and help me ‼️
Please Share Or Replog Or Donate For My Family 💔🙏
I am reham, his condition, and all the families of Gaza are very difficult, they do not have the necessities of life, no medicine, no food, no health, no education, nothing but death and destruction I appeal to everyone who sees my campaign to stand by my family, Whether by donating or sharing the story with your friends to raise an amount that will help my family get out of Gaza safely 💔🍉
I am a nurse at Nasser and Al-Khair Hospital in Khan Yunis I also used to work for Dentist K But at the present time, I have lost my job, which was a source of income for me and my family in the past, and now all I will have left is the donation link that I made in order to help my family, about thousands.But it takes timeI hope to achieve the goal of my campaign.
I also want to do charitable work and spread the first aid course to children and women because we really need that urgently at the present time because of this war and genocide that we are exposed to.I lost my brother because of this war, and I really miss him. The loss is painful.
I have been afflicted with a great emptiness and depression because of his distance from me. I hope you pray for him too, may God have mercy on him. 💔🥺🙏
Donate 5$ enough the change my life

media literacy would automatically go up 100% if people knew how to consume stories without self-inserting themselves into the characters' shoes. "if i were him..." you're NOT. you may relate to his story, his past, his traits, his quirks, his identity but the moment you start treating the story accepting what you feel/think as what the character feels/thinks, you're misunderstanding the story.
EVERYONE GO SUPPORT @fridka RIGHT NOW.
this is stunning! tysm for drawing my guys!!
Artfight revenge for @caustic-caffeine
a story (told through a book, visual novel, graphic novel, or smth else) where the narration (in third person, can be 3p omniscient or following a pov chara) starts out seemingly reliable before going progressively more off the rails, especially in the third/final act. on first reading it isn't apparent that this will happen, but on future readings little hints and symbolism along the way leave little clues to it happening
Art fight attack on @szkicel ! Since the guy is very spider (and I know a fwend who doesn't want to see those) the full picture is under the cut

i still have a couple campaigns that i need to make sure are vetted in my inbox. please let me know if any of the links are missing/don't work!
Hello supporting friends ! My family and I have been suffering and struggling over staying safe and alive for almost 260 days due to the gruesome and catastrophic war over Gaza. Our house and our livelihood source have vanished with the black days of the war and we became displaced, hopeless , homeless and desperate because we can't provide the simplest daily needs . It's a tragedy and hardship. We have been living in a small dirty tent all these sad days, facing famine, terror of bombings , shortage of medical care and with no sanitation facilities . It's incredible hell on earth, and this is why I am asking you to be beside us against these sad days. Support us with the means you have either by donating whatever you can or sharing my link to other donors. Be helpful and supporter to people in need.
I’m so sorry you and your family are in this horrible situation and I wish you all will be safe and comfortable as soon as possible

new oc reference just dropped for rubithin! uncensored moobs beneath the cut (scar ref)
they’re one of my oldest ocs that i still pay attention to, and are certainly one of the more storied ones :)
If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...
Start helping with citizen science projects
What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!
You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases
Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.
Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.
Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.
Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.
Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.
--
I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.
Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help
Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

this month is july, yall know what that means…
Art fight! …..
Okay, not just that….
Fourth of July?
Well, yeah, that is part of it, but I’m actually referring to
Disability Pride Month!!!
To everyone (but especially other disabled folks);
Whether your disability is physical or mental, visible or invisible, cureable or uncurable, professionally diagnosed or not, or something you’ve been grappling with for a while or just recently…
Always remember these things!:
You are just as valuable, worthy of love, and deserving of respect as non-disabled folks;
There is no such thing as “not being disabled enough” to seek out the support you need;
It’s very okay to ask for help— you are not weak for doing so;
You are not lazy, useless, or a failure for merely experiencing the symptoms you experience;
Your life is not inherently less meaningful or fulfilling, just because you’re unable to do as much as a healthy person;
I’m very proud of you all for pulling through and getting to today, even with all the struggles (yes, even if I’m a stranger to you /gen)
I hope you all have a wonderful July and beyond! Be sure to take care of yourselves and be kind to yourselves!
one more of kai!
