I am so mad
I've seen other people say it. Fairly often, even. But I always figured they were outliers; that that sort of thing would never work for me.
But
I finally got a proper ADHD medication. And let me tell you, I am so goddamn mad. I've spent my entire life thinking I was "lazy", that I should be pathetically grateful for anyone who employed me or put up with my inability to do housework. Being TOLD I was lazy for it (though never by my lovely partner, gods bless her). But let me tell you... someone with a properly-working Executive Function doesn't know SHIT about how debilitating ADHD is.
I can clean. I can plan. I can work on a task without constantly longing to just sit down at my computer. I can look at things I've been avoiding for months or even years, and they no longer seem impossible. I can see a dozen tasks that need doing and just... pick one and go do it. I can't believe this is how neurotypical peoples' minds work, but it sure explains a lot.
ADHD is a true capital-D Disability. You're not lazy for it, you just don't have the same tools as everyone else.

the 2023-24 NBA city edition tierlist, in collaboration w THE genius @swinginsportscutebasketball
(complete notes and insightful discussion under the cut lol)
S tier: pacers, pelicans, suns
pacers: great colors, spray paint is cool, they tried something new which is great, font is cool. 10/10
pelicans: cool font, love a magic and mystery theme. glowing lights of new orleans and a BONE PELICAN?? don't need to say any more. one of the coolest ones they've ever done.
suns: like the font, like the gradient on the side and in the number, like that it says El Valle, like the colors
A tier: hawks, celtics, warriors, cavs, mavs, pistons
hawks: like the font (serif and lower case are not common on jerseys, so it's interesting). blue is a lil weird (not a color one would associate w hawks usually) but cool overall
celtics: like the colors (green and gold are nice), letter and number font are cool, clean design, looks good on the players
warriors: like how it's shaped like a hill, like the shadow on the numbers, looks clean and I like the font
cavs: good font, good color. gold = nice, we like it. details around the arms and neck are cool, numbers font RULES
mavs: like the fonts for the text and numbers, solid design. like that leon bridges is involved because he rules
pistons: team name font is cool, also has bones (on the side), like the bad boy pistons inspo!!!
B tier: spurs, magic, jazz, blazers, grizz
spurs: viva spurs fr. like the font choices, like the orange, like that it says viva spurs. the brown details don't even look bad. solid jersey
magic: should be called gift of the magi, gothic script is cool, star as the A in orlando RULES, numbers font is cool
jazz: classic one w the mountains (top 3 design imo), not groundbreaking but a solid take on an old favorite
blazers: like the plaid, like that it says rip city because that's funny. plaid not that striking overall since it's just in the details
grizz: geta points for creativity but loses points due to weird execution (MEM is a weird choice and the lines get kinda trippy if you look at them for too long)
C tier: lakers, bucks, hornets, sixers, bulls, knicks
lakers: solid color scheme, looks like a nice lakers jersey. looks good on the players at least. triangle shape is unique
bucks: why is it blue (they literally do this every year). the dots are a solid detail but kinda meh overall
hornets: same as every other year (except for the clit jerseys last year). 0 creativity points. nice color, stingers on the buzz city are cute
sixers: solid number font. "city of brotherly love" is a good moniker but "brotherly" takes up A Lot of space here and makes it look weird. arrows on the sides are cool
bulls: Madhouse on Madison is a cool name, but it's kinda boring. a bit TOO plain. we are not fans of the vertical lettering
knicks: the double letters are a cool concept but they look weird. pinstripes are cool tho
agree to disagree tier: nets, rockets
nets: some controversy about how NeTs is written (I like the funky letters, sscb dislikes them), looks like it's trying to camouflage with a rock climbing wall (neither of us likes it)
rockets: the number and font look like a kids' t-ball team to sscb, but I like the number font and the details. Neck line detail also solid to me (fbp)
why does this look like the Oakland forever one tier: thunder
thunder: what it says on the tier title. went all in on the ugliest logo in the league, colors are nice but they don't really match the team
D tier: raptors, twolves, clips, kings
raptors: sawtooth design is cool. gold is nice for details but a full gold jersey does NOT look good. round toronto = doesn't fit, we are not fans. we the north in various languages on the sides is cool
twolves: bad font, the watercolor design is cool but the color is too plain and it doesn't look as good on the front. don't need to say "land of 10.000 lakes" up the side too
clips: boring design. not sure about the font (S and P are Weird). the dot on the I being a basketball is cool. wanted to like it but it's too boring overall.
kings: WRONG color!!! why would you go away from purple which rules as a basketball color. the anniversary of the cincinatti royals is not an excuse imo. vertical lettering also weird
HELL tier: heat, nuggets, wizards
heat: CRINGE. fuck the heat (fbp)
nuggets: every player is number 5280. why is it the same size as the player's number. mountains (the best part) should be more prominent. like the idea but the execution is just BAD
wizards: kinda messy. the colors are SO random, font is weird to me. WHY is it rusted. all over the place tbh
