Looking up into the crown of an enormous stool of Small-leaved Lime, perhaps close to a thousand years old, brings a sense of calm and perspective...and shows crown shyness nicely...

Thank you to Venkat for introducing me to this artist & educator: her Insta account is a deep well of #Carnatic exercises, songs, advice for learners, music games, interviews... for once I'm speechless 🙏🏽

Great music find once again... Particularly love to discover artists who dedicate their life to another culture's music. It takes a tremendous humility, discipline and openness.
My musical discovery of the year has been Lloyd Miller. Absolutely fascinating man. Had his own music tv show in Iran at one point. Huge, huge tip.

Wow 😳 Translations of “primitive”, archaic stories of creation, nature, death, and mourning from indigenous groups such as the Gabon Pygmies, the Maori, a number of Native American peoples, classical Indian texts, and various Australian and African peoples

Shakti Tiny Desk. Joyful musical interaction for a Saturday morning. Haven't heard the singer Shankar Mahadevan before, really like his voice. And of course Zakir Hussein. Making Music pretty much was the first Indian cassette I listened to on repeat www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx8A...

Does anybody use Quality of Life questionnaires with #ADHD clients and their families? As I spend so much time explaining to parents, am looking for one for parents specifically, assessing family QOL overall. Online I see a Norwegian referred to often, but no pdf? 🤔 #medsky #psychsky

A question for any #ADHD coaches out there: what is your approach to no-shows for online sessions? I tend to be very lenient, and am grateful if a student texts to say they don't feel up to it beforehand. Parents, on the other hand, understandably, find it harder not to be triggered. Thoughts?

#carnatic music lovers, are there any concerts still on in January? Planning to arrive in Chennai at the beginning of the month. So upset that Prince Rama Varma's festival in Thiruvananthanapuram is not happening any more, Swathi Sangeethotsavam is one of the best music events I have ever been to.

#Zagreb animation, still with a great annual festival. If you don't know the city's most famous resident, Profesor Baltazar, check him out, he's a glorious space cadet with #adhd

University of Zagreb researcher Beata Halassy treated her breast cancer with an unproven virus-based therapy using viruses she cultivated in her own lab.

Over several weeks, her homegrown remedy caused her tumor to shrink, enabling surgeons to remove it.
A scientist experimented on herself to treat her cancer. It worked.

a refreshing and thoughtful take on #ADHD and why initiating or sticking with a task is so hard, and what helps
A while back, I realized Mortal Kombat's "Test Your Might" mini-game is a great metaphor for working with ADHD.

So I re-built a version of the game with React and use it to describe "What ADHD Feels Like to Me".

Please check it out & share it with others.

"Recordings of the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Bugis society recognizes five genders: makkunrai, oroané, calabai, calalai & bissu. Bissu are androgynous or intersex & revered shamans or community priests. This is the Sere' Lolosu dance of the bissu."
