This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

Someone said being neurodivergent means that no one listens to you because you're right too far in advance and then, when it's finally come to fruition, the common law statute of limitations for remembering what someone else said a while ago has been surpassed so we don't even get to be told we were right. it's deeply unsatisfying

Female octopuses have been seen throwing rocks and other objects at annoying males that refuse to leave them alone. Researchers observing them in the wild noticed the females aiming the objects to push the males away.
Scientists believe this surprising behavior shows just how intelligent, aware, and expressive octopuses really are.

The cruelest part of ADHD isn't procrastinating on work. It's procrastinating on your own joy. I will buy the paints, clear the desk, set up the lights, and then sit on the couch for 4 hours because the transition into doing the thing I actually love feels physically impossible.

[crystal. (she/her) @crystalgrayle]

@dog_rates she looks pretty uncomfortable about it, to be honest

"You dont have ADHD you're not hyperactive."

That’s because my hyperactivity is in my head.

I haven't moved in 3 hours.

But in my mind I have started 5 businesses, reorganized my apartment, and panicked about the future.

Admin Post:
@Crufts 2026 just wrapped up its obedience glory—yet its separate para obedience classes really disturbed me. They're exclusionary, insulting, and straight-up perpetuate the harmful myth that disabled handlers aren't capable of training dogs to elite levels.

That's completely inaccurate—and in my experience, the opposite is true. Being non-ambulatory has forced me to become a far better communicator with my dogs, relying on precise cues, body language, and partnership rather than physical force.

I'm a significantly disabled trainer/handler who's earned Masters titles in Rally on TWO Rottweilers, a CD in Obedience, and held Canada's #1 Rottweiler spot in CKC Rally for TWO years running. Obedience is about the dog's precision, focus, and bond—not the handler's mobility. My wheelchair needs fair, minor accommodations: extra space around pylons, a few extra seconds for 360° pivots, dropping/picking up the leash (or my dogs carry it around me seamlessly). Visual impairments? A guide relays directions. Deaf handlers? An interpreter signs instructions.

These aren't advantages—they're inclusion. I've competed head-to-head against everyone, outscored plenty (yes, the woman in the wheelchair winning bruises a few egos —not my problem. Most other competitors have been awesome), and judges already navigate biases with favorites, students, family. Good judges stay impartial; no valid excuse to segregate us.

Para classes send the message: "You don't truly belong in the real competition." They hide skilled disabled teams from view and reinforce ableist assumptions about capability. Crufts is the global stage—time to integrate us with reasonable accommodations so partnership, not disability, defines the ring. Segregation has no place here.

What do you think? Should Crufts scrap separate para obedience and embrace full inclusion, or keep reinforcing outdated mindsets? #Crufts #ParaObedience #DogObedience #Inclusion #Rottweiler #DisabledHandlers #ServiceDogs
