I wrote a sex scene. It doesn’t read like a sex scene. That’s because my main character has ADHD. It’s not really a scene about the sex. It’s a scene about ADHD.

My brother pulled up childhood Arabic songs that I haven’t heard in decades, and now I just want to sit in the corner with a bottle of wine and sing for the children of Lebanon. Yes, Re-Mi, have your childhood and tell the moon to wash his face.

I’m going to coin the phrase “cognitive autonomy,” which means that I choose what to spend my cognitive energy on.

People at work shall not chip away at my cognitive autonomy with their emails and intra-office messengers. I’ll focus on what I want, then I will address their interruptions.

Being an arch spec writer has its advantages. I have to keep track of fire-resistance like a DM tracking legendary actions.

So, yes, I am the awesome mom who added fire-resistance to the boy’s burn box with electrical tape.

The #Eagles just fired their offensive coordinator, and John Harbaugh is looking for a job. Just saying…

Good morning!

I'm sorry to have to keep sharing this. I know other important things are happening but I would like to continue to stay on the insulin pump.

With everything going on in the news and at home, I’ve decided to return my free trial of 2026.

A fried just adopted a black cat and asked for name suggestions.

So I told him to watch #WheelOfTime then name her something badass like Moiraine or Lanfear or Moghedian or Nynaeve.

Good morning friends!

Here is your daily reminder that we are raising money to pay for my health care FOR ONE MORE YEAR.

If you could donate I would be grateful, but I'm just as grateful if you like and share this!

Last year, it was Syria. The difference is the degree of subtlety.

Reminder that support of Isra-zift is support of Western Imperialism and its ethnic cleansing of the indigenous Arab Jewish, Christian, and Muslim population in the Levant.

Stay out of my spaces.

I wish I could put up an auto-message at work that reads:

I have ADHD. Please communicate clearly. An assumption on your part will put me out of commission for an hour.

Also, STOP SAVING SHIT IN MY FOLDER. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!

Ouf, eked out a victory at the end there. 😅

I don’t think the Eagles are long for the playoffs this year. They merely arrive to break dynasties only to vanish again into the obscurity whence they came.

After consulting the Internet and my common sense, I have concluded that my headache is due to eyestrain from playing Skyrim all day.

I hate when colleagues ask me to specify something in a way that’s essentially unethical.

“No, bitches! I have #ADHD, and that makes me Lawful Good by definition!”

This blood pressure medication sucks. Having dangerous thoughts and feelings that I haven’t since treating my PMDD.

Could use some hugs.

Why, yes, I did put the wet clothes in the dryer without removing the already dry clothes first. Thanks for asking!

I have lost the battle to my email inboxes. I’m so flooded with unnecessary emails that I have let it pile up with unread notifications.

People underestimate how one tiny interaction can derail an ADHDer’s whole day. In the grand scheme, this wasn’t a big to do. It still put me out of commission for the whole day.
How hard is it to take the PDFs from the one folder and copy them into the other? Why did the engineer who is paid more than me think it was ok to ask this of me? I’m a subject matter expert, not a secretary.
