I Feel Like A Lot Of People Don’t Quite Get What A Butler Is. The Role Tends To Get Rounded Off To

I thought it would be an hour of listening to screaming and looking at pictures of draculas, but it was so much for frightening than fathomed

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):

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

The original Superman artist Joe Shuster was rightfully bitter about the huge financial loss selling the rights to Superman caused him and his co-creator Jerry Siegel. Joe was going blind while working as a mailman and living by himself in a ratty apartment.

He made BDSM porn comics with Superman and supporting character lookalikes. Some people say it was out of pure financial desperation and a case of lookalike art that caused this. Others say it was a jab at DC comics for all that they did to him.

The story is pretty interesting of how they found this out. I’ll try and find the article because it’s wonderfully written.

This is legitimately the most horrifying tweet I’ve seen in a long time
