@HowtoADHD Singing.

Whether it's performing in a choir, belting in the bathroom to keep me from drifting off, singing along with show tunes to stay motivated while I'm doing crappy chores, or singing rounds with my family. Or vocal-stimming while I'm working. Or watching a concert!

@BookDevon @hildurknuts had a book translated by @MaryRobinette not long ago! The cover has just been released.

@WhatTheADHD My hip pops are EPIC

this one time when I was pregnant, I could tell the baby was sleeping because he was so still. And he was already head-down. I had to shift my legs and felt this epic crack coming and I was like, "sorry, kid...."

That fetus JUMPED

@WhatTheADHD The most comfortable sitting position for me is the half lotus. One leg just folded flat over the other. People see this and ask me - 100% of the time - if I do a lot of yoga.

As a kid I could put both feet behind my head at the same time and was constantly rolling my ankles.

@MeanwhileBerlin I went once and had the Tower of Babylon. It was transcendent. Yes, that was worth the price.

@riayn If you'd faxed them first, though... 😂

@40PercentGerman One time YouTube showed me a video of a Schlager called "Ein Selfie von heute Nacht" and I was like, "....yep, Schlager really are some kind of timeless"

We’re hearing Earth has blown past 7 of 9 tipping points, there are 1,000 years natural disasters every week, food & water shortages are incoming, mass disease is disabling us en masse, & there’s NO PLAN beyond generating more profits.

Best of luck with this endeavor. I’m done.

“This isn’t a country, it’s a hunting ground.”

That about sums it up.

@davidlovesmaps People in Berlin love nothing more than telling you how cool it used to be

Being a linguist means that when my kids have discovered the word "fucking," I'm gonna make sure they only use it in places where it is appropriate - socially and grammatically.

German cabinet passes immigration reform that makes getting citizenship more attainable.

Can’t wait until this is over so I can finally start waiting two years for the new immigration center to handle my application!

[Francesca with a k @_frankcesca]

@BaurJoe Right?! Hard same!

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

The easiest way to 'stop the boats' would to be a build an Asylum Centre in Calais which the French have said we can do a million times.

Of course that would offer a LEGAL way to apply for Asylum, so the Conservatives won't do that.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

writing professors will tell you “completely evil characters are unrealistic” and then you meet people who are like “children should work in the mines for a crust of bread” or “we could lower the marginal tax rate if we burned down the libraries”

[I hate it here. @anxiouscatmom]

"Are you going to wear a mask forever?"
Dude that's not even in the top 1000 things I'm bummed about doing forever. I have to wash my dishes forever. Brush my teeth forever. Do laundry forever. Wearing a respirator forever is nothing.

Can you all drop everything and go read this story now, please? It just... Imagine there's one or two NTs on a world otherwise fully populated by ND people.

Sound good?

“Climate scientists left “flabbergasted" as temperatures in parts of South America near 40°C in the middle of winter”

But @abcnews needs to include the *why* in every article like this

Linking the burning of coal, oil & gas to the terrifying record temps
