The invisible performance of ‘masking’ ADHD symptoms is exhausting
ADHD isn’t just about experiencing fidgeting, distractibility, forgetfulness or restlessness; it’s also about the hidden work adults do to hide those symptoms in their everyday lives.

I did a sort of Back to School article for @theconversation.com. I am a strong believer of routines, rituals and rites of passage (in family, school and professional life), and I think we don't talk enough about them, and have not harnessed enough their power. theconversation.com/how-routines...

How routines, rituals and rites of passage are foundations of an inclusive classroom
Creating structures and routines in the classroom means providing children with predictability about what is expected, when it is expected and how.

International friends, think about your German friends today, especially those living in Sachsen-Anhalt. It will likely be a grim evening of election results. Check in on them, talk to each other. Fascists want us to feel alone, isolated and overwhelmed. Community counters that.

Jane Fonda’s tribute to Dolly is perfect.
janefonda
I am devastated. I just learned that Dolly has moved on. I know that millions are mourning and I want to say this - more than anyone I have ever known, Dolly will always be with us because she was so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever. We have our memories of her, her songs, Dollywood, "9to5," the millions of books she got into the hands of children, all the iconic images that bring her to us. And they are all blessings. Let's be grateful for all that she has left us to ease our sadness now. I never knew anyone like her. She was simultaneously a naughty, playful southern gal from the hollows of
Tennessee and a deep, soulful thinker who could see through people right down to their true selves. She was many things...lyricist, songstress, player of many instruments, writer, prankster, visionary, loyal friend, who'd never go to bed before she and her friends had laughed so hard
they'd have to cross their legs.
She had a survivor's instinct and seemed to always know just what to do, just what to say, to make things right....and then she's stick her butt out the car window and moon Kenny Roger's home. She was the voluptuous embodiment of empathy. That's something of hers she'd want us all to take with us.
To her gay and trans fans, I want you to know that she loved you. You know that without me telling you. She loved all her fans and they are legion. And you know she doesn't want y'all to mourn now. Dress up and celebrate her spirit. But first, watch the final episode of Grace and Frankie where she's an Angel, the head honcho working class angel in Heaven.
RIP, beautiful woman. We love you.

Dear Americans; The 50% Trump tariffs on Canadian goods will be paid by U.S. importers & passed onto you, the consumer. That means job killing inflation will continue to rise, squeezing already stressed U.S. household budgets. Trump is wrecking your economy. Signed, Canada
