Working towards the Beloved Community. I kinda suck at it, but my heart’s in the right place? Owner-operator of an #AuDHD system. pronouns depend on the weather
We were scrolling through the latest EO on AI, and almost didn’t notice the little graphic of the White House on their page has a little black bat flying around. The EO is more of an opinion piece, TBH, but the bat is the real deal and I want it to stay there at least a week or 2
@laurenancona Surface tension does not play a role in this. It’s all about the momentum and angle of attack, or more precisely the angle between the bottom of the board and the surface of the water. As the rider moves forward, the bottom of the board pushes water down. F=MA FTW baby!
@laurenancona As we start to look around, it’s ND almost everywhere we look. We’re in a high tech sector, so of course that’s what we find 😂. Special interest/hyperfixation intersects with an organizational need. We’re in the sweet spot. But of course burnout is still a thing.
@laurenancona Yesterday I realized that a close colleague who is ND and a senior civil servant has made dissecting how the USG works a special interest. Super helpful, as I’m basically doing the same thing at my org, which is under contract to his. It’s not a conspiracy if we mean well, right?
@angsty_weeb This happens to us whenever an our attention wanders too close to a trauma memory. We still don’t know WTAF happened, and the brain seems to want to keep it that way.
@DID_we_write Yes, they read the book over and over again and they wanted to be a seagull too and learn to fly like him, but they kind of disappeared along with the memory of the book. One came back for a few hours, but he was really confused because he thought it was still 1977 so he left.
@DrAmyPsyD Fighting him is probably a lost cause, but maybe you could tell you can cure his ignorance? In his case it might be untreatable, but at least in principle there is hope for a full recovery and to go on to live an almost normal life.
@DID_we_write Our therapist is good at spotting switches. She even notices when someone new appears (usually a frightened little), and is kind enough to introduce herself and explain where we are. It’s really strange that the system knows what’s going on and remembers, but can’t help 😢.
