Is d!sney's Pocahontas problematic and riddled with a blatant disregard for history? Yes. But I refuse to let that distract us from the more important message, a warning, that raccoons were instrumental in helping colonialism in exchange for treats. #It'sAlwaysTheOnesYouMostSuspect #Disney

Met a fellow ADHDer today who'd previously thought it was just anxiety. I said it's probably both because it's pretty hard NOT to develop anxiety after a lifetime running into glass doors everyone ELSE can see but you. You're bound to develop a "flinch" response. She felt validated. #ADHDlife
