[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

ADHD is not a choice.

Or a character flaw.

Or a lack of drive or ambition.

It’s an explanation for why we struggle to live up to society’s expectations.

A set of behavioral tendencies that cannot be “cured.”

Success is symptom management.

Meds do not make it go away.

Papa is going into hospice today.

But I have a work meeting with an agenda point about how I screwed up last week AND an agenda point about how I screwed up the week before.
So... I guess today is gonna be a "try not to cry at work" day ha. Haha.

@imkrisyoung I was recently lectured about forgiveness by family so this was a good affirmation, ty 🥰

[GullahMuseumSC @GullahSc]

How did the African trickster folktales using animals like Br’er Rabbit and Br’er Fox told by the Gullah Geechee influence the creation of characters in popular culture like Bugs Bunny and Peter Rabbit? I’ll start at the beginning.

[GullahMuseumSC @GullahSc]

Sometimes, I think that we Americans are under the mistaken belief that the West Africa was a tabula rasa—a blank slate—before the Transatlantic Slave Trade began around the year 1500. It’s because we aren’t taught about the history of Africa.

What do we really mean when we talk about "abled privilege" and "neurotypical privilege"?

This is what we mean: I had a very simple prescription refill appointment today. I left with ample time to spare. I should've arrived 15 min. before my appointment. 1/14

One of my biggest fears is being disrespected by doctors who are either disrespecting my gender, my disability, and/or my neurodivergence. I really had high hopes for today. I thought things would be different. Why would I expect that though?
