I *know* I talk too much, and it feels bad *not* to talk when I want to say something, and being able to now feel the difference between on meds and off meds makes it worse.

Spicy-brain people: how many pairs of nail scissors do you reckon you have bought and somehow lost and had to replace over the last, say, ten years? I reckon I am well into double digits.

Did a book club this evening and I have OPINIONS on literature and love talking about it but I am frequently FAR TOO OPINIONATED on a great many things and have been told my whole life that I need to shut up more so, you know, the only solution is to never do anything

Ah, yes, the constant war between what I now know is ADHD enthusiasm, hyperfocus, impulsiveness, and being 'too much', and the intense desire to never be seen or perceived ever again

Freddie Sayers on Twitter:

The new principle emerging from Epstein and other recent stories seems to be: you cannot continue to be friends with someone convicted of a bad crime if you wish to escape guilt by association.
What kind of morality is that? Leads to a fearful, cold, unchristian society.

It’s not a new principle that you don’t stay friends with someone you know is a pedophile. I wouldn’t stop being friends with them because I feared guilt by association. I’d stop being friends either them because they are a pedophile.

I wonder why the right needs to do these mental gymnastics… πŸ€”

I never took it but a bunch of my college friends did jiu-jitsu and the first thing they taught you was how to open in any real fight, which was to put up your hands and say β€œhey man, I don’t want any trouble”

After well over a month of being able to keep the kitchen properly mum-clean every day, I now have an answer to how my own mum does it: not having unmedicated ADHD

My *best* guess is that it was something to do with a game of Dwarf Fortress

I have pages and pages of baffling notes on my phone, yet it still somehow took 40 years of being alive before I considered an ADHD diagnosis

A screenshot of the android notes app. There is no title. The note reads: 'Asmelnakas'. Nothing else.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Ah yes the back and hip pain is also part of the PMS and I always forget, it always gets much worse due to hormonal loosening of already-genetically-rubbish ligaments

Support Guy Kelly ❀️ Ko-fi lets you support my nonsense, help gussy up my streaming setup, or commission a Shrek 2 Collectable Trading Card tarot reading. It's a one-stop shop for profoundly strange decisions.

I'm on strike 3 days this month, starting tomorrow. I don't feel greatβ€”I'm run down and exhaustedβ€”but I'll be on the picket line nonetheless, pushing for fair pay for all my colleagues, unionised or not.

If you like my nonsense, and want to chuck me a quid, that would help

Beautifully dramatic lighting effect in this altar depicting the god Sol found near Edinburgh. In the low light of the temple, worshippers would see Sol’s eyes, mouth and the rays of his solar crown glowing.

I can confirm that most birds have a detectable amount of wiring behind the eyes - blinking lights and buttons and sliders and frizzy things that spark and chirp and beep. They also have a lot of soul that can communicate with ours because the programming is fairly compatible. Vultures are clever and curious, swans are clear and lawful, chickens have a lot of personality, caged parrots are dissociated and disinherited and frankly worrying, falconry-trained birds of prey are tremendously businesslike.

And owls are absolutely lovely beasts with their own irreplaceable validity. but they are basically stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have one button, like a child’s toy dinosaur that opens and closes its mouth when you press the back of its head. And it isn’t even a sophisticated electronic button it’s just a lever that rocks back and forth to make the claws open and close. I think they may have actually evolved independently from sponges. Their skulls simply exist to create holes that funnel sound and light, and as a place to hang a giant hinged beak. An owl is just an empty tube like a windchime that the wind whistles through, and you can drop meat down it. They use the meat to generate feathers, and then emit the bones in pressed little packages like those machines that flatten a penny and stamp it with the logo of a theme park. I think that’s the gist of it - most birds are electronics of varying levels of sophistication, but owls are just a system of levers and pulleys. No elevator music in those skulls, just the wind echoing through empty caverns of slightly irritating design. Absolutely fantastic.

Speed limiters are brilliant! My new car tells me when a speed limit is changing as a heads up! I can set the cruise control to 20mph in a 20mph zone and not have to worry about it!
