Saturday, June 10, 2023 Growing up, the "would you mind" question was the nice way of telling us to do something without telling us.
My younger sister said "no" the first time she was "asked" and was SO CONFUSED when dad got annoyed.
I don't remember how I reacted the first time I was "asked", but I completely understood her confusion.
I could have gone all day taking screenshots of this thread, but you get the point.
GET TO THE POINT!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 12
Wednesday, February 21, 2024
“But I am really saying something very simple. The will of the people, or the state, is revealed by the state’s institutions. There was not, then, nor is there, now, a single American institution, which is not a racist institution. And racist institutions – the unions, for one example, the Church, for another, and the Army – or the military – for yet another, are meant to keep the nigger in his place. Yes: we have lived through tokens and concessions but white power remains white. And what it appears to surrender with one hand it obsessively clutches in the other.” – James Baldwin, Dark Days

How to Explain the Fluidity of Needs Based on Energy Levels
Tumblr media

How to Explain the Fluidity of Needs Based on Energy Levels
Neurodivergent community, I have figured out a way to explain the fluidity of our needs based on our energy levels. Although, if one thinks about it, it applies to everyone. Imagine everyone has a Stamina/Energy Bar above their heads; we’ll use the color Yellow to represent the stamina available, and Grey to represent the stamina used. And every task, every action, has a set amount, a number, assigned to it. Now imagine every time someone picks up their bag, turns their head, moves in any way, speaks, does ANYTHING, the yellow area either steadily shrinks, or drops all at once to a specific point, while the rest of the bar it is greyed out. Now imagine when someone eats, drinks, sleeps, relaxes, RESTS, the yellow area of the bar steadily increases over time, shrinking the grey area. But what happens if we use all our energy during the day? Or go into the negative? If we don’t recoup stamina/energy throughout the day and while sleeping, then our Stamina Bar, going into the next day, is mostly greyed out. If there’s any yellow at all. We could have pushed the grey area past 0, into the negative. Now, because we’re either running on empty, or borrowing from tomorrow, tasks we could easily do yesterday cannot be done today, or they’re done “half-assed”, because we don’t have the Stamina to do them “properly”. We’d need more REST to replenish our stamina. We’d either need to INCREASE the size of the yellow area of the Stamina Bar and/or DECREASE the size of the grey area to bring us above 0. If we borrow too much of tomorrow, if we extend the grey area of the Stamina Bar too far past 0, it WILL cause burn out. AND irreparable damage if done too often and/or if we’re burnt out, in the negative, past 0, for too long.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 15

“White supremacy is not a human right, it’s a human rights violation, and by allowing a school to keep black history out of their curriculum, a government only perpetuates white supremacy, hence it perpetuates a human rights violation.” – Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH QUOTE 12 OF 12 Tuesday, April 18, 2023
"This crusade to fix herself was ending right now. She wasn't broken. She saw and interacted with the world in a different way, but that was her. She could change her actions, change her words, change her appearance, but she couldn't change the root of herself. At her core, she would always be autistic. People called it a disorder, but it didn't feel like one. To her, it was simply the way she was." - Helen Hoang, The Kiss Quotient

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 7
Wednesday, February 14, 2024
“I watched these young people read to the audience parts of history that placed our country in context. I felt, in that moment, envious of them. Had I known when I was younger what some of these students were sharing, I felt as if I would have been liberated from a social and emotional paralysis that for so long I could not name–a paralysis that had arisen from never knowing enough of my own history to effectively identify the lies I was being told by others: lies about what slavery was and what it did to people; lies about what came after our supposed emancipation; lies about why our country looks the way it does today. I had grown up in a world that never tired of telling me and other Black children like me all of the things that were wrong with us, all of the things we needed to do better. But not enough people spoke about the reason so many Black children grow up in communities saturated with poverty and violence. Not enough people spoke about how these realities were the result of decisions made by people in power and had existed for generations before us.” – Clint Smith, How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America

Ta-Da! List: Tuesday, January 9th
I have decided to make a “Ta-Da! List” every day! There won’t be TMI.
Don’t know what a “Ta-Da! List” is? To learn more, check out @adhdjesse's book Extra Focus here.
✧ throughout the day: – moved between the bedroom and the office – kept emails manageable by deleting some and unsubscribing from newsletters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ✧ in the bedroom: – alternated between watching “Coraline“, listening to “Fly Away” by TheFatRat, feat. Anjulie, and listening to the “🎃 🖤 Halloween Music 🖤 🎃” playlist and reading books – watched The Achilles Heel of AI… (its called COPYRIGHT) by Upper Echelon – watched Therapist Reacts to WALL-E by Cinema Therapy – decided to alternate between Video Game and Literacy Quote Feature Image designs and Quotes Creator App templates, so created another “Literacy” design and picked an additional template – shared a Video Game Quote to the O&T IG, created a Feature Image for it, then shared it to O&T, Tumblr, Pinterest, added it to their Highlight, BMAC, O&T Threads, Hive, Minds, and Bluesky – managed the Tags of the O&T blog – shared a Literacy Quote to the O&T IG, created a Feature Image for it, then shared it to O&T, Tumblr, Pinterest, added it to their Highlight, BMAC, O&T Threads, Hive, Minds, and Bluesky ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ✧ in the office: – watched Biden vs. Trump: Whose Economic Plan Is Better for You? by Robert Reich – in FFXIV, checked on the plants in the apartment, completed the Heavensturn Seasonal Event and the Tribal Quests, which got the Samurai a little over halfway to Lv. 90; did some inventory & Venture management with the Retainers and one leveled up; went through the Glamour Dresser a bit; did Leveling in the Duty Roulette, got the Samurai to Lv. 90, then snagged the Manderville Samurai Blade; did The Sil’dihn Subterrane Variant Dungeon and took the middle path, then restarted and took the path to the left – updated Minds‘ cover and profile images – listened to the “🎃 🖤 Halloween Music 🖤 🎃” playlist – prepared the Video Game and Literacy Quotes for tomorrow, Jan. 10th – managed the Tags of the O&T blog
Well, these are all the updates I had for today! Thank you for reading!
May every decision you make be *in the spirit of fairness* and may the rest of your day *NOT go to $#!7*!

VIDEO GAME QUOTE OF THE DAY
Tuesday, January 9, 2024
“Unfortunately, we live on a planet with many limitations — genetic, mental, physical, etc — and on top of that, we have our memory erased at birth, which I believe to be a very diabolical thing, even though many spiritualists see it as a positive thing. So in a way, being delusional does provide more comfort, which is why many people want it. Why think about growing old when I can just play video games and forget about it? And why not waste my time with as many distractions as possible?” – Dan Desmarques
