we’ve gotta start posting these pictures of our LIVING legends in color, Floyd Norman is still here with us! so glad he’s getting his flowers. THIS IS BLACK HISTORY!
Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?
I've never had to look at so many battleship references before tryna do this sonic project, but dammit if I don't do it, it won't get done. (I love you Sonic Retro, I owe you my life)
This has a clinical name. Revenge bedtime procrastination. And the ADHD version runs on a completely different mechanism than the neurotypical one.
A neurotypical person stays up late because they want more leisure time. The ADHD brain stays up because it spent every drop of dopamine it had on executive function during the day. Sitting in meetings, managing transitions, filtering impulses, remembering the thing you were supposed to remember. That burns through dopamine the way sprinting burns through glycogen. By 10pm the tank is empty.
But here's where it gets counterintuitive. The exhaustion is physical. The dopamine deficit is neurological. Those are two separate systems. Your muscles want sleep. Your prefrontal cortex is starving for the stimulation it was denied all day because it spent 14 hours on task-switching and impulse control instead of anything that actually felt rewarding.
The phone at midnight is the brain trying to collect what it's owed. Low-effort, high-stimulation content. Scrolling, short videos, rabbit holes. The exact profile of activity that delivers dopamine without requiring the executive function you already depleted.
The sleep researchers call this a "self-regulation failure." It's closer to a debt collection. You borrowed against your own reward system to function all day. The bill comes due at midnight. And the brain will not let you sleep until it gets paid.

ignore that it's four minutes long and know that it's going to feel like a healing to your neurodivergent soul to hear every single thing he lists NOW LOCK IN
She was 19.
She had her whole life ahead of her and a transphobic man stabbed her 40 times.
The media demonises and dehumanises us. They call us parasites and dangerous, to make us acceptable targets.
But we need to live and remember the victims.
RIP Juniper.
Interesting how the world often treats the French Revolution as the only great symbol of freedom and rights, while the Haitian Revolution is treated like a footnote. Yet, Haiti did what many abolitionists elsewhere only preached, i.e., enslaved people rising up and defeating an empire, abolishing slavery, and claiming freedom by force. Haiti’s history deserves equal, and maybe greater, reverence.
Brilliant documentary by @AJEnglish 👌🏽
older gen z is genuinely cursed
• guinea pigs for new tech • COVID during high school/college • debt for degrees while AI kills every entry level job • only knowing Trump era politics • horrific housing market

One of the reasons that both Neoliberals and fascists hate people like Mamdani is because he proves they are all liars who have effectively sold out their constituents to billionaire interests.
All of the pain we have been told to endure has been a choice to sate the wealthy
