Good Shit Good Shit

I hate that no one talks about just how distressing memory loss from adhd actually is. I always see memes that are like “haha I forgot my phone, I don’t remember where my laptop is, etc”, but no one seems to talk about how it can really fuck you up long term to just, not remember things that are completely mundane to non-adhd’ers. The memory loss is, however, so frustrating to us. I cannot physically count how many meltdowns I have had over the sheer mental frustration and torture of not being able to remember seemingly simple things

Impeachment

There are so many people celebrating the House of Representative’s impeachment of Donald Trump, without truly understanding what it means.

The House chose to make a political statement by impeaching him. Now what happens is that either the House holds the vote hostage and doesn’t send it to the Senate, or they do and the Senate votes to actually remove him from office.

Trump is still in office. This impeachment unfortunately is not the end, this is only the beginning.
