Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction

A meme poster showing someone in a chair, listing information about executive dysfunction
"Know you have something important to do, but just can't make yourself get up and DO it? You might have THE SITS" Also known as Executive Dysfunction, symptoms may include:
Hyperfocusing on one specific thing but not THE thing
Daydreaming or "spacing out"
Internally screaming at yourself to just DO the THING to no avail
Time blindness; where did the last 3 hours go?
Feeling overwhelmed by tasks which would take 5 minutes if you just got up and DID them, but instead take all day because of THE SITS

This is so true and important! If you're in the Boston area, I'll put a bunch of local mutual aid groups below. 🧵:

It's your birthday, Duane.

Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..."

There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel

Duane Puryear died in 1991.

letter from james schuyler (poet) to john button (painter), 1956. this is IT for me. this is love, it's been captured, it's done, we can all pack it up. "and suddenly everything i'd ever felt about you turned into a diamond or a rose or something"

Dear John,

I don't know why I have to tell you this today (but I do) — perhaps it's because when I look out into the fog all I can see is the hairs of your adorable chest. I'm terribly in love with you, and have been for such a long time, ever since the first time Frank took me to your apartment. I looked around at your beautiful paintings and suddenly everything I'd ever felt about you turned into a diamond or a rose or something — anyway I went striding up and down while Frank played Poulenc and felt exactly like the Ugly Duckling the day he found he was a swan.

Then you came home and I didn't think I could ever look at you or to you again, all I could do was giggle and snort and twitch. But I've looked at you a lot since then, and there isn't anybody else in the world that I want to look at; or want, for that matter.

It seems to me that I've been so GOOD that I couldn't hate myself more. I don't see why I couldn't have been born a robber baron type instead of a fool.

Now I'm going down and set 57th Street on fire to keep you warm.

This is all nonsense. I love being in love with you, it makes even unhappiness seem no bigger than a pin, even at the times when I wish so violently that I could give my heart to science and be rid of it.

With all my love,
Jimmy

The lesson from New York is we should all have ranked ballots. The people yearn to RANK. We want to RATE and SORT.

MA residents, please join me in calling Governor Healey's office to demand action and a response to these brazen kidnappings carried out by ICE on the streets of our cities. If you'd like a script, we've provided one - full copy in the alt text. Her office's number is 617 725 4005. Flood it!

“Hello,

My name is <your name> and I’m calling from <your number.> I'm one of Governor Healey's constituents and I am calling to demand concrete action to protect our students and our neighbors from the brazen and unamerican attacks ICE is currently launching, including the kidnapping of Fulbright scholar Rumeysa Ozturk When will the Governor denounce these terror attacks, denounce the kidnapping of surgeons and scholars, snatched off our streets by masked thugs in plain clothes?

I demand to know what Governor Healey is going to do to protect our students and protect our schools, because these deportations are not just attempts to end our first amendment right to protest perpetuated by a genocidal regime, but they are also clearly attempts to scare away international students, damage our Universities, and punish our state for voting against him. I demand to know when I'm going to stop having to hear the Governor shamefully remind the country that we are not a sanctuary state and push for rolling back our right-to-shelter law, and when I'm going to start hearing her use her executive power to prevent state police and city governments from collaborating with ICE. I demand to know which concrete steps the Massachusetts administration will take to protect our citizens from these horrifying raids.”

I'm a school librarian and our district, due to budgetary bullshit, cut 40 people yesterday. Today I saw that our middle and high school students are planning a walkout and protest in solidarity. Things feel really dire out here but these kids give me hope.

whenever i'm up all night writing with the cat i think of Pangur Ban - the cat of an Irish monk who lived in Reichenau Abbey in the 9th century, and the poem the monk wrote about him.

The scholar and his cat, Pangur Bán

(Translated from the Old Irish by Robin Flower.
Click here for the original with a literal translation.)

I and Pangur Bán my cat,
'Tis a like task we are at:
Hunting mice is his delight,
Hunting words I sit all night.

Better far than praise of men
'Tis to sit with book and pen;
Pangur bears me no ill-will,
He too plies his simple skill.

'Tis a merry task to see
At our tasks how glad are we,
When at home we sit and find
Entertainment to our mind.

Oftentimes a mouse will stray
In the hero Pangur's way;
Oftentimes my keen thought set
Takes a meaning in its net.

'Gainst the wall he sets his eye
Full and fierce and sharp and sly;
'Gainst the wall of knowledge I
All my little wisdom try.

When a mouse darts from its den,
O how glad is Pangur then!
O what gladness do I prove
When I solve the doubts I love!

So in peace our task we ply,
Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;
In our arts we find our bliss,
I have mine and he has his.

Practice every day has made
Pangur perfect in his trade;
I get wisdom day and night
Turning darkness into light.

Finally moving here from the bad place and am SO thrilled to find all my Pirate aquaintences again. In the years (and years and years...) I've been on socials I've always been a lurker, so maybe this is a chance to start new and actually talk to all ya'll =)
