Please let me know if the link works, also, I know my Spotify username is absolutely ridiculous but I made my Spotify forever ago and i didn’t know that you couldn’t change it ever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so I’m stuck with it lol.

“I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
singing ‘Ayo…’
Out of all the things I’ve received at pride parades, as a Christian, this one is my favorite.
I was diagnosed with Dsygraphia and ADD in second grade and I only found out that I had Dsygraphia in seventh grade(my parents knew but I didn’t) and my sister is an excellent artist so I understand.
I always get depressed when I remember that I can’t draw. I wish it was something like “Oh I’m just bad at drawing” but I physically can’t, no matter how hard I try. The sad part about it is that it haunts me even today. I have a rare neurological disorder called “Dysgraphia"
What is Dysgraphia?
To put it in simple terms it is the inability for a person to match the image in their head to paper. It has also been described as a "A memory problem on the microsecond level.” Some people describe it as a motor skill deficiency.
What many people don’t know is the act of writing is actually a memory task. You are remembering the shape of a letter and writing it. We auto correct our writing to match our first letter. That way your first letter and last letter should be written in the same “style” and shape. The brain remembers how you wrote your letter or shape and adjusts your muscles to continue writing in that same style. All this information happens in a fraction of a second.
For people like myself, our brains cannot adjust to match each letter or shape. The result being that every letter and shape and line is different and sometimes incorrect. Spelling mistakes occur frequently in people who have dysgraphia. Often being told that they are “bad spellers” the problem is that their brains have processed the next letter already but the motor skill hasn’t caught up and they leave out letters.
There are currently no known cures for the condition and as a whole it is ignored. Simply told to “practice writing” in hope that the brain will remember how to correctly write. The condition is listed as a type of dyslexia but is considered to be rather unimportant. The current best “treatment” is to use a word processor or computer. “Finding alternate methods of communication”. Which basically means “Its not important enough for us to care about."
Being a kid I was always teased and scolded by people for my "bad handwriting” my teachers would complain to my parents about how I was a “sloppy” writer. I was labeled "lazy" and “unorganized” because I couldn’t write well. Which frustrated me because I would write as slow as I could in an effort to make it legible. Often I would be the last to turn in my assignment and it would be incomplete or I would have cramps in my hands and ended up quitting. Believing me to be retarded or mentally challenged I was subjected to tests from the school.
The school basically threw their hands up. It didn’t make sense. Writing and drawing I was nearly inept at but when it came to reading and speaking I was performing way above other students in the class. The other students picked up on it and would often exaggerate the extent they couldn’t read my writing and I was the last one to be picked for “pictionary”. Becoming more and more frustrated, I just stopped participating and choosed to read instead. The older I got the more I was scolded for my handwriting. Often told “You write like a elementary kid!” I often wouldn’t turn in reports I had to write. It gets more frustrating when people tell you “it isn’t that hard” to fix it.
Do a test. Find a piece of paper (lined) and write the sentence “The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog.” Chances are your hand writing is pretty consistent. Now try to write the same sentence making sure that every letter is written in a completely different way. Space your letters incorrectly. Finally, make sure to write random letters backwards. I suggest “e” “r” “f” and “q”. Next, Try to draw a line or a circle. Be sure to change the pressure so that some areas are darker than others. Curve your straight line and make a slightly straight line on your circle. It will probably take you a few moments. That is how it is for me to write or draw in a way that most people can read. Your hand is probably cramping a little too. Which is what happens when I write anytime. Over the years I’ve had to deal with it and I can ignore the pain. The thing I can’t ignore is the fact that I often can’t read my own writing.
So I say to everyone who can draw, Don’t ever curse your gift. Have more confidence in yourself and your abilities. Because you don’t know what its like to not have them.
this user has dysgraphia
yall i just had the wildest realization. i was reading this dumb book i got from the library called “does everyone have adhd?” and there was this one part where it talked about love
it said that when you fall in love sometimes your adhd symptoms will subside a bit because of the raised dopamine levels in your brain and that just. blew my mind. ive always had problems with crushes and feeling like love will complete me and struggling with the fact that i feel happier when i like someone and its literally because of adhd
this is so wild

shoutout to the adhd people who did well in school for years but suddenly crashed and burned when the responsibilities outweighed their coping skills
shoutout to the adhd people who couldn’t finish college
shoutout to the adhd people who do great work but lose their jobs because of poor time managment
shoutout to the adhd people who don’t lose their jobs but can never advance because of their inconsistent performance
shoutout to the adhd people who want more work responsibilities but are afraid of what will happen when they inevitably make a careless mistake or their inattention leads something important to be forgotten
shoutout to the adhd people who have damaged their credit rating by forgetting to pay bills or return library books
shoutout to the adhd people who work their ass off every day but never know if the results will be stellar, average, or terrible
shoutout to the adhd people who have done just well enough to go most of their lives knowing something was wrong, but figuring they just needed to work harder to fix it.
You, the person reading this right now. Yes, you. You are a wonderful human being who deserves all the love and respect in the universe.
Now, you might be thinking no, no, not me, I’m not worth it, but you are. As surely as I’m writing this, as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow, as surely as you think the night sky is beautiful– or not– you should be loved. And if you think you aren’t, I’ll step in to fill the gap.
Now I hope, whoever you are, your day is just that little bit brighter.
“I came for the family dynamics in the show, I stayed for the family dynamics in the fandom TBH”
@thethistlegirl and I were just talking about the MacGyver fandom, and I had to share this little bit of our conversation. (@thethistlegirl , I hope you don’t mind my quoting you :p)
Shout out to every corner of this little but lovely fandom:
Y'all are all so wonderful 💗
It is so rare and so wonderful to find a show, not to mention a fandom, that attracts and keeps the interest of such different perspectives on the characters - hardcore MacDalton shippers, fans who enjoy exploring a brotherly or father/son dynamic between Mac and Jack, Murdoc lovers, et al - but doesn’t explode in shipwars or character hate or shaming or anything childish and melodramatic and unpleasant like that.
I feel just as much among friends reading the amazing gen fics by @thehemingwaygoldfish , @bands-space-and-monsters-oh-my and @thethistlegirl and @tomminowrites as reading the amazing MacDalton fics and thoughts of @telltaleclerk and @becauseimawinchester and @wild-chaser and @cherikfan . Then there’s the super nice readers and the art… (@sky-larking , @freighttraininmybrain , @thisgameissonintendo , @bxmyaxsthxtic…)
Don’t mind me :p Just over here emoting. Some fandoms are damned hard, and it is such a pleasure being in this one!
You can’t hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords. And when I say you are a coward it is only because you are one of the slimiest weaklings ever to walk the Earth! The Princess Bride (1987) dir. Rob Reiner

Jack, narrating Mac's "MacGyvering": Thinking quickly, Mac constructs a homemade megaphone, using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone.
I heartily agree with all the Jack love my last post received. Jack is wonderful, both as a dad and just as a character. He’s the best dad on the show.
What is HILARIOUS to me is that James Macgyver is the worst of the dads. Like, he’s worse than Murdoc! Murdoc is a better dad than James Macgyver. Oh, he’s a worse, crazier PERSON, but he’s a better dad.

Friends: It’s 3am what the fuck are you doing up.
Me: FaNFIc tImE
Me: *guesses correctly who the murderer is on a show*
Me: shut up bitches, there’s a new sheriff in town
“my friend the electrical engineer,” i say, or of someone else: “my friend the Canadian,” “my friend in Denver.” and i am down south, states and miles away.
“how did you meet?” they ask, puzzled by how far-flung my friendships. “the internet,” i say, a little proud, a little defensive because the next words are inevitable.
they always ask with a mix of amusement and horror. always. “have you met in person? no? how can you be sure it’s not an old pervert in his mother’s basement, a serial killer on the prowl?”
how can we be sure of anyone? the man who married a pastor’s daughter, then shot his pregnant wife in the back of the head–they thought they knew him. but these anonymous souls: they’re my friends.
we talk of books and ideas, family and differences in where we live and why we do what we do, and trade stupid jokes like candy, sweet and inclusive and joyful. my friends. my soul friends, who i meet on the internet.
friendships are not born of handshakes. they’re born of shared things and shared interests and sometimes just because you’re human and i’m human, and that praise God is enough. even over the internet, that is enough.
I’ve had ADD and Dsygraphia since second grade. I tried medication in thrid, with the bad side effects heavily outweighing the good. I struggled hating math and school, bombing my freshman year. Until one night, I literally broke into tears in my kicthen. Begging my mom to let me try medication again. Knowing there was no way I could turn my school work around with out something.
I started medication and everything changed. I started getting more organised. Started asking questions and advocating for myself and my work. I even started to like math.
One of my favourite parts was when I was talk to my math teacher because I couldn’t remember learning this thing but it seemed familiar. He reminded me that I wasn’t the same student as last year.
Another time I was presenting at my exhibition and I said, “I like trig(math.)”. Everyone was shocked having never expected to hear me say that.
I worte an essay in one day. And to some that might seem like nothing and that writing essays is easy. But I had an essay from last year when I started tenth grade.
I was the first one to Gateway in my class! It’s funny because that day I was late to school and I had this plan because I thought I had more work that I needed to do. I got to school and sat next to my teacher and talking to her about what I needed to do. A little while later we went through my work and she said, “I’m not going to have time to talk to you later so I’m going to Gateway you now.”
Mind this is around 10 am and I had only gotten to school at 9:45 am planning to stay till 5:00 pm for another students exhibition. I had nothing to do. I have never had nothing do ever before.
Part of me was still in shock from realising I had just completed two years of work in one year!
There’s a real misunderstanding in Take Your Pills when it comes to ADHDers taking stimulant medication.
My medication is just meant to help me zero in a bit more, not be distracted and focused by the constant hum and business of my thoughts and the world around me.
It’s not meant to stop me from being myself or to become a different person. Because my disorganization isn’t a part of me, and it’s something I want to and can fix, with help.
I’m still going to be my bubbly, stimmy, loud self who always has so much to say about everything and loves loves loves animals. That’s not going to change, and I think Take Your Pills need to realize how ADHD truly effects ADHDers rather than assuming how it affects us.
(This isn’t made to rag on/be accusatory towards ADHDers who don’t take medication because they don’t like how it affects them, but rather to point out that there are ADHDers who need their medication and have had their lives changed by it)
