I am a hang glider pilot. I have flown for 15 years. I am also a K-12 educator with plenty of experience with ADHD. I can tell you from professional experience that
1. ADHD is different for everyone and it is not always obvious that someone has it.
2. There are LOTS of pilots with ADHD.

Are you a hang gliding pilot?

New drone ordered from Temu. These new drones with a display on the control are useful for teachers that teach drone operations in phone free classrooms. I also like that the controller is similar to a gaming controller.

Are you willing to take that gamble with other people’s lives? Especially with Trump being a lame duck?

I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

This was my first flight in a hang glider. It was April 2010.

ABSOLUTELY, they are protecting us and really don't have to after they were treated so bad by Trump!

Yep. If I have to share heaven with these scumbags, I would gladly go to hell.

It becomes a problem when
1. You aren’t consistent
2. There’s a racial pattern to your inconsistency.

Operate on your own timeline and don’t constantly compare yourself to other people. Live below your means. Be loving to others, and to yourself.

No more business as usual. A functionally illiterate electorate cannot choose freedom.

It’s time to start over. The DNC is not strong enough to fight, starting at the local level in local elections.

It’s insane that these people had all kinds of things to say about how β€œDEI” stood for β€œDidn’t Earn It” and are now fully on board with these picks.

This is a paper airplane I made last year to mimic the similarities of a hang glider. It used paper, straws, and paper clips. It utilized a Powerup 4.0 unit, which is controlled by Bluetooth.

This is unconstitutional. I hope @aclu.bsky.social challenges this.
