They/them OK too! Black nonbinary femme with ADHD getting my Master's in mental health counseling.
Everyone deserves the chance to talk with a good therapist.
Applying GIB to White Supremacy:
For years I wondered how white supremacists couldn't see that they were the "bad guys", but GIB has helped me sort things out.
White supremacy and supremacy of any sort isn't always about thinking

🌈GIB™️ analysis of human behavior thread 💖
Humans rarely act from a place of bad intent and you can use this framework I made to develop compassion and emotional distance from harmful behaviors:
Good Intent
Ignorance
Bias
As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK#BelovedCommunity
I don't agree with every gnostic thought, but I do see being born as being trapped inside a terrarium. That doesn't mean that the terrarium can't be explored and have the most made out of it. We're all in it together.

Regarding the entrapment of souls on earth, you can Google stuff about asenscion and blah blah blah. There's a lot out there and, like most things, it's 99% nonsense and 1% useful.
Black producers and songwriters making material so that it can be sung by White performers for White audiences is a good example of the pitfalls of Black capitalism: Black labor being used to support White glorification.
It's like I have more "power" in many ways because of my location and work in an imperial state, but it's not really okay to acknowledge it because of cultural ideals regarding who SHOULD have more power.
Thinking about how my grandma doesn't have a lot of money but I'm not really allowed to help because I'm younger than other family members and thus it's kind of disrespectful to show how I can support her too with my imperialism-backed currency.
I'm a birthstriker: I refuse to bring a child into a world that only sees them as fodder and a source of labor. Every single government complaining about population decline focuses on social benefits for this existing, not on the state of the world we're imposing on the children.

I like twitter because it's not like chatting where people feel pressured to respond. Everyone on Twitter can scroll past, ignore what I say, and even block me if they disagree with what I say. No pressure, no stress. I can post unpopular takes and people are free to not engage.
Emotional flashbacks and C-PTSD
Sometimes I wonder if ADHD sometimes develops as a coping mechanism for regularly occurring trauma and the emotional flashbacks that follow.
Emotional flashbacks are NOT limited to childhood trauma.
For example, I have emotional flashbacks and my ADHD helps me to keep going and forget about them quickly. I don't think this is ideal, but I can see how this is something my brain might be doing to "help" me avoid dwelling longer in distress.
