Your routine fell apart again. Travel, sickness, late night, busy week - and now you feel like a failure. Hereโs the truth: ADHD routines WILL break. Thatโs not the problem. The problem? You donโt have a reentry plan. Instead of asking โHow do I never break my routine?โ ask โHow do I get back to a

If you've ever felt broken for having energy peaks and valleys, this one's for you. Your brain isn't malfunctioning - you're just wired differently than the "show up the same way every day" world expects. As a late-diagnosed ADHD adult myself, I know the struggle of unlearning cultural programming

Some days brushing your teeth feels impossible. And you still have to show up as an adult somehow ๐ชซ Hereโs what I learned: ADHD brains have natural energy peaks and valleys. The solution isnโt pushing throughโitโs designing completely different routines for your 10% battery days. Food. Movement.

You're working twice as hard as everyone else but still feel like it's not enough. That voice in your head saying you're lazy? An imposter? Not doing enough? That's not the truth. That's ADHD overcompensating. I help late-diagnosed ADHD adults stop proving their worth through overwork and start

Many of my US friends say that they are coping by not turning on the news. I understand it and don't blame them but I guess this is also how descent into authoritarianism works - most people, understandably, just concentrating on getting by in their lives and in their local community.

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.
It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.
Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.
So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

If you havenโt already started, flood your representatives with phone calls and emails asking for the immediate REMOVAL of Elon MUSK from having ANY ACCESS
to the inner workings of our government.
There is a hostile takeover actively happening in our country and weโre all watching it happen.
