💔 Pre-emptively posting about what I’m afraid might happen (a malicious reputational smear campaign) is terrifying. I’m worried about: ✅ fabricated storylines ✅ cherry-picked old posts ✅ AI images / videos ✅ stolen / leaked personal data Here’s the gist:

Did you know October is also Dyslexia Awareness Month? (Artwork commissioned by The Lab School of Washington)
Comic titled “Dyslexia Storytelling.”

Top panel labeled “Thought in my head”:
A character in a red shirt has a thought bubble showing a clear, glowing light bulb.

Bottom panel labeled “Saying it out loud”:
The same character, now looking distressed, tries to speak… but the idea in their speech bubble appears as a tangled knot to another character in blue who looks confused with question marks above their head—trying hard to follow, but still struggling to fully understand what the speaker meant.

Anxiety brain can’t always tell the difference between “this problem is preventable, stay vigilant” and “you’re too late, chum—buckle up.”
Comic titled: “Over-Thinking.”

The left panel is labeled “Things that are actually going wrong” and shows a green radar screen with no blips, just a single sweeping arm scanning an empty display.

The right panel is labeled “Things that *could* go wrong” and shows a similar radar screen filled with eleven red blips scattered across all quadrants. Each blip is marked with targeting brackets, and the radar is actively sweeping.

Title: “ADHD conversations”

Subtitle 1: Hyperactive
Speech bubble to left looks frantic and says “rapid speech.”
Bullets to the right read: excessive talking, speaks very quickly, gets off topic often, unintentionally loud, rambling, tangents, fidgets while being spoken to.

Subtitle 2: Impulsive
Speech bubble to left is cutting off someone else and reads “interrupting.”
Bullets to the right read: Blurts out answers, impatient waiting for turn, lack of filter, quick emotional responses, inappropriate over-sharing, may unintentionally dominate conversations.

Subtitle 3: Inattentive
Speech bubble to left looks dreamy and says “zoning out.”
Bullets to the right read: struggles to pay attention, becomes bored easily, forgets details, appears to ignore others, needs things to be repeated, distracted by background noise or external stimuli.

Show of hands—who else needed the reminder? 🙋🏻‍♀️ #ADHDAwarenessMonth
It's okay to take a break even if you don't think you deserve one.
It's okay if you don't cross off every item on your to-do list.
It's okay to not be productive every second of every day.
You are a human, not a machine.
It's okay. You're okay.

So many thoughts... so little time! #ADHDAwarenessMonth
Title: “Sharing Thoughts.”

Top panel labeled “Non-ADHD”: One person carefully holds a single green butterfly taken from labeled jars of “Experiences,” “Ideas,” and “Opinions,” calmly sharing it with another person who listens with interest.

Bottom panel labeled “ADHD”: The ADHD character joyfully releases a colorful swarm of butterflies—orange, blue, purple, pink, yellow, and green—representing many thoughts and ideas all at once, while the other person looks startled and overwhelmed.
