Like, the only "attention deficit" I have is for stuff that bores me rigid, and the hyperactivity is not a disorder.
OK, so I've never been able to commit to a subscribed academic or career path but at my age, that feels like a *you* problem. #ADHD
Finally! A word that's ๐ฏ times more descriptive of my creative processing than "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder". Hypercuriosity is *precisely* what I enjoy about my racing brain, that enables me to achieve so many disperate & technical challenges. #ADHD www.positive.news/society/yout...

In November 2013 a Ukrainian protest comprising thousands of college students became a Euromaidan of millions.
Normal men and women without strong political views faced down paramilitary thugs in the freezing cold.
Asked why, they said the same thing he does.
"They're beating our children."

What is wrong with us?
Why do we hand so much power to the bewildering inept?
We really are no better off than our deluded ancestors who allowed absolute power to whomever was the eldest heir still living when the previous despot popped their clogs because 'God said..'
So do I!

Ha, that's gas! So both our experiences featured in Frank's article then? You with your middle name and possibly a faraway poetic look in your eyes, and me being somewhat disenfranchised and upstaged on my birthday by a pile of rushes on the school desk. Love it!
