So apparently not everyone knew that some ADHD generics do not appear to function identically?

Just in case it’s helpful, here is a list of things that work for me.

This list is SPECIFIC to Vyvanse only.

Rose Lerner @roselerner.bsky.social · 23h

(if you would like to contribute to my spreadsheet, i mean the drive, thank you and: bit.ly/bundled25 <3)

screenshot of spreadsheet showing, among other things, 64 gloves donated, 36 pairs of kid socks, 37 adult hats, etc.

I don't know why they can't get better announcers for the postseason, the big nationally televised games, etc. I don't love all the regular announce teams but at least they are all familiar with their own team. These guys rarely seem to even consistently know all the players' names

One of these announcers has never heard of poutine?????

Rose Lerner @roselerner.bsky.social · 1d

(I guess some announcers are probably ex-catchers but most of them are not! Even then, that is probably not what I most want to hear about unless it's educational and not just complaining)

Rose Lerner @roselerner.bsky.social · 1d

I will literally never care what pitch sequence YOU would have called if you were catching this game, which you actually are not qualified to do, random annoying dude

Rose Lerner @roselerner.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah like there are so many things that I would love for them to explain to me but instead I just have to listen to 3 hours of their opinions about what pitch everyone should be throwing instead of the pitches they are throwing, interspersed with "human interest" bullshit no one enjoys

It seems especially fucked right now to make categorical statements implying that certain kinds of people did not form part of this country's past.

And yes, also their names would have had to be transliterated into English (their first language was Yiddish and they lived in Ukraine and had documents in Russian) so someone had to make choices about spelling and pronunciation even in the parts of their names that "weren't changed"

Rose Lerner @roselerner.bsky.social · 1d

If they had chosen the names themselves at their leisure at a later date that wouldn't have happened

LRT look I'm willing to believe that some narratives were simplified in my family but SOMEONE other than my relatives themselves made the decision how to Anglicize their names because my great great aunts Dubbe and Dvoire came together and both had the English name Dora

Lots of us have great-grandparents names who were absolutely changed when they came here, and when people say otherwise, they're assuming your great-grandparents name was in the Roman alphabet.

Robyn Pennacchia @robynelyse.bsky.social · 1d

Now, more than ever, it's important to understand why so many the myths we tell ourselves about immigration are actually very harmful.

First of all, your great-great-grandparents names *were not changed* at Ellis Island. No one there had the authority to do that.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.
