Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 25/08/2026There are so many amazing things you can say about Dolly Parton before you even get to her music. What a life. And I'll personally be most grateful that she secretly funded and produced Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 000

Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 18/08/2026(6/6) The above examples are the tip of the iceberg. Two everyday, mundane experiences. I've not gone into various nervous breakdowns and mental health crises. Tik Tok memes are a bit of light relief, but ADHD is real and much more complicated than the stereotype in the press. 010
Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 18/08/2026(5/6) Lastly, people take (abuse) the meds I'm on to get high. I can take them and still have a nap. My brain is just wired different. 110
Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 18/08/2026(4/6) This is TMI, sorry, but I think it's important to spell it out. I stim when I'm understimulated. This is everything from fidgeting to binge eating, to pulling out hairs and chewing the skin off my fingers until I bleed. It's compulsive, hard to control and causes me great embarrassment. 110
Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 18/08/2026(3/6) Struggling to focus applies to the fun stuff as well as work. When I'm unmedicated, there are days where I can't do *anything*. I can't read a book, watch a film, go for a walk. I like doing these things, I *want* to do them, but it's like I'm paralysed. On meds, I just do it! 110
Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 18/08/2026(2/6) I think part of the problem is that ADHD is often over-simplified and mischaracterised as being a bit ditzy and struggling to focus at work ("We all do that!") Hence the moral panics about over-medicalising. I want to help illustrate what the everyday reality is actually like: 110
Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Short 🧵 on this. Lots of people are diagnosed who don't want any treatment, just to understand what's going on with them. Others, like me, find the treatment invaluable. It's a spectrum. The media thinks we're all after benefits or something, but we just want to get on in life. (1/6) 110

Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It’s crazy how fast we normalise stuff. I remember going to Australia in 2018, watching wildfires on the news, and thinking “wow I’m so glad I live in the uk where that never happens” 011
Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Had a thought this morning that, in contrast to most of human history, we’re moving into an era where summers are scarier than winters. May be wrong, but feel like there’s something in it. 120
Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Still thinking about it. I was riveted by Brand New Day. A very smart and emotional film that felt pure 'Spidey'. Can't think of many franchises that nail four in a row. Maybe Toy Story... 020

Scott P @scottp128.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Can’t speak to modern primary education, but in my English MA we learned that these classics became a fixation of the elites during the Renaissance. Citing them was a way of showing off your status. I imagine this filtered down over the centuries. Agree the Celtic myths are so rich and v overlooked! 0160

It derives from the Mediaeval Latin femella, a diminutive of femina, a woman. It was mistakenly transcribed in Middle English as "female", perhaps creating the impression that a woman is a version/variant/ subset of a man. 311010191
