#ADHDacceptance Day 2: What I love about being an ADHDer is... "Letting the dog off the leash." The near-manic high from intense focus on a preferred activity or absolute lack of inhibition when geeking out with other neurodivergent folks feels like a humming nuclear reactor inside me.

Corporate greed shut down the ports, not workers. These workers cannot be expected to pull upwards of 80 hour weeks and not be compensated fairly for making hundreds of billions for management. They handle trillions of dollars worth of commerce a year! Fucking pay them!

When conservatives began to mock Gus Walz, liberals justified his response by saying he has developmental disabilities. While that's true, the response bordered on benevolent ableism. Gus Walz's response doesn't need defending. It should be celebrated. via MSNBC www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

The Minnesota governor's son doesn't need anyone's permission to express how he's feeling.

We got a lot of hatemail when we absorbed magiccards-info. It was nothing compared to what people said to the Commander RC. We lost a shining pillar of the Magic community today. Please think about being better. Please remember it's fun cardboard and let cooler heads prevail.

"Valuing people for their skills can mean overlooking their inherent value as a person—one who has every right to exist regardless of their abilities. [Yet] over-valuing certain abilities means looking down on ppl who don’t share them." @ferrousmu.bsky.socialthinkingautismguide.com/2023/02/we-n...

Underneath is black text reading,

“Feeling superior is

one potentially effective

but deeply flawed strategy

for coping with feeling devalued,

especially for children

perceived as intelligent—

and those whose race, gender

and wealth make this easier.”

In the lower left corner, small black text reads,

the same way it worked for gay people and later gay marriage - so many folks think “it’s weird” until it’s someone they know and care for and it’s why the bigots are so determined to drive trans people out of public life, so nobody has a chance to come to that realization

If you've been wondering what happened to Magic: The Gathering since last week, this primer covers the bans, the resulting harassment, and the ultimate death of the Commander RC. What happens next is both a mystery, and not really. WotC wholly controls the format, now.
