If you are hit by a bowling ball you will possibly stop seeing this post forever.

I wanted to tell you about my ADHD tactics for running, but I’m busy preparing for one sortie. So for now, just photos from the run, and a story about tactics and the results of the sortie (if it is successful) later.

slapping modeling clay around blindly without thought or purpose, i look down and find a perfectly sculpted replica of myself seated at a table with a lump of modeling clay before me, similarly shaped into a still smaller instance of the same scene. and i am afraid to look up

Will it be accurate? Are we looking for Moby Dick level of accuracy about whales? Or Trailhead levels of accuracy about ants? Doesn't matter, as long as there's a lot of it.

Cowards who write pulp horror fiction novels say "less is more" and "kill your darlings" and "trim everything you can, and then trim ten percent more." Heroes who write stories we truly love to read write "Sometimes more is more" and "if we're enjoying it of COURSE we want more!" More chapters! More stuff! I want to learn about repurposing the mating habits of the noble pus moth, or using thorn beetles as caltrops, or bombardier beetles firing in unison to cripple a human antagonist!

Is half a chapter on beekeeping too long? I ask myself as I search for more interesting bee facts to include.

I really like how many of the world’s most iconic structures and places are just right next to some of the most mundane stuff imaginable, for example

Stonehenge

Is right next to a busy road

The Pyramids of Giza

Are at the outskirts of Cairo

Niagara Falls

Are part of the town of the same name

And Agrippa’s Pantheon

Is crammed inside downtown Rome

It just so interesting to notice.

If I may, I must make the gentle request that people consult Wikipedia for basic information about anything.

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but more and more people coming to me saying they can’t find info about [noun], when googling it yields its Wikipedia entry on the first page.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll gladly say it again: You can trust Wikipedia for general information. The reason why it’s unreliable for academic citations is because it’s a living, changing document. It’s also written by anonymous authors, and author reputation is critical for research paper integrity.

But for learning the basics of what something is? Wikipedia is your friend. I love Wikipedia. I use it all the time for literally anything and everything, and it’s a huge reason why I know so much about things and stuff.

Please try going there first, and then come to me with questions it doesn’t answer for you.

the upside of ADHD is that it makes you a fucking genius

the downside is that you don't get to decide when and for how long you're a genius.

Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:

Yes, it's an ableist slur.

Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.

Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.
