[adhdandcomics]

adding to my tags because i’ve been thinkin a lot about the post i just reblogged and have more thoughts:

i’ll be real, the more i saw ‘hey adhd influencers are so annoying’ the more i worried that i was unconsciously contributing to the spreading reputation of adhd folks as annoying and over-pathologizing every symptom they experience

and then i realized. i am not a goddam influencer or life coach or representative. obviously i have some obligation as someone who cares about myself and the people that like my comics to not spread harmful ideology or blatant misinformation but i never intended myself to be a “’increase your productivity!!’ blog OR a ‘if you have XYZ you have adhd!’ blog. and i do this for fun, and originally started this blog bc i had a lot of internalized shame and self loathing about my adhd and thought if i could make it funny i might have less of that. let’s get real! and it worked!

i’ve obviously done this kind of thing— (hey these symptoms might be adhd!) a lot before in my life & on this blog, but there’s more to it than trying to be an “influencer” or whatever. a term that didn’t even exist when i started this blog!

i felt very isolated trying to find out if i had any mental problems & what have you originally because of large advice (etc) blogs with staunchly anti self Dx views at the time

so i overcorrected when i DID get dxed and tried to validate everyone who was like me. and of course. not the best course of action always for the ol mental health. tried to be the source of positivity and jokes that i didn’t see because the online adhd presence was near non-existent.

and anyway. i make a lot of fun of myself & the way m brain works in my comics obviously but it is not my obligation to... how do you say.... not be annoying online.

because if folks interpret MY little jokes as a strict guide to diagnosis. that’s on them, really, not me. i also believe “making adhd your entire personality” is a non-issue. so what if people find out they have it and get over excited with identifying as adhd. saying this as someone who DID do it. criticism of this gives the same vibes as people being annoyed that young queers make “being queer” their whole personality. im very obviously more than a guy with adhd, and id reckon other adhd comic artists are too. (im friends with a lot of them!) it’s fine to post about it online.

anyway. i just don’t take myself too seriously and i’m a comic artist for myself first! and you know what, i’ve been considered annoying my entire life. what do i care if a few more folks think i’m annoying. neurotypical or not

#i think the article did have some good points especially on the capitalism and marketing angle but i oft think it did venture into #being mad at individual folks who post jokes about adhd. which is literally fine thats what an opinion piece is for lol #i am just very tired of people pretending that a lot of reaction to online adhders is not in itself just an extension of the ableism #we already were facing #'adhd people are so annoying everyone does this youre pathologizing everything' ok and how exactly are you helping. #i hesitate to throw my hat in with hating on adhd tiktok because i am simply not on tiktok and have no way to back up my thoughts #that they may be annoying and oversimplifying a complex disorder on the 'drains your attention span' website. #and i think perhaps the value of each adhd resource varies widely depending on who made it and what theyre even posting. #sometimes its a joke made by a person with adhd. sometimes its sourced and cited research. sometimes its someone discussing their personal #experiences in depth. sometimes its someone talking completely out of their ass. sometimes its THINLY veiled ableism. #its up to the individual to research and determine the value of the memes and resources you seek #anyway. perhaps these points are tough to clarify on sites like insta and twitter. bless. #text #adhd #im punk now #oh and yeah i also agree lots of folks do not talk about the unsavory parts of adhd but rather the funnies and the sillies. but that is #once again a larger capitalism and marketing and ableism problem #r we not talking about them because we are actively trying to infantalize this disorder or is it because we collectively experience a lot #of internalized ableism and hesitate to talk about our worst symptoms for fear of the backlash #weve always gotten about them 🤔🤔🤔 #much to consider #if youve read this far sorry for tangent number 56 about this. but also start being more unapologetic about your disorders. fuck it! #<3

what is not dividing the working class along racial lines, according to tumblr: white people being incredibly disrespectful of black people and their boundaries all the time, every day, feeling entitled to use the activism of black people to further their own goals (while, again, disrespecting this activism and black people in general all the time) constantly acting like its black peoples fault whenever anything bad happens, treating them like neonazis for asserting incredibly reasonable boundaries, large swathes of "progressive" white people declaring that black people make up accusations of racism for no reason all the time

what is dividing the working class along racial lines, according to tumblr: being politely reminded of black peoples boundaries while they politely ask us to not use certain activist phrases that typically relate to violence that white people dont experience due to our privilege

#straight up waiting for people to be like 'its divisive of you to not let me use the n-word' #stop talking matt #racism #im so sick of this shit ngl #people are allowed to have boundaries and disrespecting those boundaries does far more to harm any working class solidarity than the #boundaries do in the first place #legit reactionary politics regarding race on this website because all the progress black people have made in terms of social justice is #being treated like its ~gone too far~ and that black people need to be ~put back in their place~ ie in the background of revolutionary #politics when its this development of identity group advocacy by black people that like all other modern identity group advocacy spawned #from. its so fucking annoying and gross

#the bean #listen. listen. I LIKE reading research papers. i like utilizing my useless ass lil history degree #you cannot fucking imagine how annoying it is to research anything that deals w pregnancy #obviously its very hard to do any sort of worthwhile experiments in the first place #bc you cant just fuck up a fetus #so a lot of it is self-reported GARBAGE #or they use animals which is not always one for one #and then you see the sample data is absolute dog shit. small pool. huge outside factors #like the largest study used to cite how pregnant people shouldn’t drink? #those bitches were also doing COKE. COKE!! #at the very least doing fat lines of Colombian snow has got to fuck up your baby #or potentially doom them to being a business major in the future idk #and then you see these stupid ass websites and try to find WHERE they get their info from and it turns out like #they extrapolate ‘don’t eat rosemary’ bc they did a study where #if you gave a rat eighty times its body weight in rosemary it has spontaneous miscarriages. NO SHIT. HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT ME #TRYING TO DRINK A TEA W ROSEMARY #and then looking up the ACTUAL percentages of risk for things. like omg the fuck listeria risks for deli meat are nothing #you have a higher chance of getting in a car accident in which we get in cars and drive multiple times a day #BUT NOBODY MENTIONS BAGGED SALADS OR CANTALOUPE #THE RATES OF LISTERIA IS INSANE #AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SEE WHO SPONSORED THE STUDY #AND WHAT THEY’D POTENTIALLY GAIN FROM THE OUTCOME #AND AHHHGHGHBFDHJGBSHDFBSDJHFBDSJBFSDJ

#m #i hate how the term antisemitism is being thrown around to describe situations that arent antisemitic recently #like being antizionist for example. bc the result of this is just ppl dismissing actual antisemitism entirely #anyone who is calling being antizionist antisemitic you are part of the reason there are antisemites who dont care about antisemitism #ive seen quite a few people recently use the genocide of palestinians to be antisemitic & this does nothing to help any issue #like posts with accusations of blood libel and running the world etc & then valid criticism is met with 'thats irrelevant right now' #as if pointing out antisemitism means you are automatically ignoring the genocide #its very frustrating because its understandable to be annoyed when anything is brought up to detract from the genocide of palestinians #i just dont think that this is one of the things that should be shamed for being brought up - its not detracting from the issue #saying that its a form of looking away from the issue is simply not true and ignoring antisemitism doesnt make you a better antizionist #it doesnt make you a better supporter of palestine #if theres a genocide going on and you use that to get your antisemitic conspiracies out you are part of the problem #im putting this all in the tags cuz its just a personal rant and i dont want anyone to take anything i said out of context #this is the illiterate website after all #i am fighting for a free palestine and a free jewish people separate from israel and zionism

[marklikely]

i wonder if this site has actually reached critical levels of being annoying lately or if i just haven't been on as much as i used to (especially earlier this year when i left entirely) that now ive snapped out of the feedback loop and can fully see how annoying tumblr culture actually is.

#anyway. bites tongue on the specifics but rants vaguely. #did you win. did you get the unearned sense of superiority while talking abt something you don't understand at all #did you get the validation of just hopping on whatever post sounds angriest and most self righteous instead of what post is actually right. #did u enjoy the complete lack of nuance once it can be convenient for u to be mean to other people as praxis #ugh but there's also fun memes and some people who are not annoying so how can i leave entirely 😔 #avpost #all of this in between posts about being the best website with the best critical thinking and the best nuance.... embarrassing #put ur money where ur mouth is and actually use critical thinking and nuance even when its not convenient to you....

see the reality is i post on my rps usually when nobodys been there a bit and nobody is probably online, but the mental illness in me keeps saying its bc everyone secretly hates me and i dont deserve love, and when i tell a gov doctor that, they basically just say ‘take your antidepressant’s and shut up’ which is also funny when said gov doctor wont refill my fucking antidepressants in the first place

#what i need is smthn for my anxiety and PROBABLY the obviously worsening ocd #but anxiety meds and antidepressants dont mix well #just like adhd meds and anything else dont mix well #which is why i just have a redbull if i need to focus bx it works for a few hours and then i pass out #which isnt healthy but its better than going through the diagnosis process AGAIN bc they dont have my info anymore #its early sad times rn w brina who hasnt gotten an ounce of treatment at all hi #see the other thing is #if i talk about my mental health at all #people will either hate me for being annoying which is what my brain will pinpoint #or feel sorry for me which i also dont want #all i rly wanna do is vent but thats never really an option at all #like yes i know its not normal to want to have a breakdown and cry bc your fucking pillow isnt the correct fluff and wont dluff #i know its not normal to feel like you should die because something wasnt in fhe spot you put it in and was moved slightly #im aware. and the reality is nobody who can do anything about it cares #i have to get an authorization to see a therapist or get meds at all even tho the card claims i dont have to #and the doc tbey gave me wont give me one #they dont allow email so i cant leave a paper trail when bitching at them and my calls go ignored #im losing my mind steadily #and thats not even onto the physical problems #but also the sheer fucking audacity of the website being all ‘oh just go to ERs and UC snd we’ll cover it’ vs hospitals specifically saying #‘we will refuse you if you have Gov Ins unless you have the money to pay out of pocket #if youre on gov insurance you dont have fucking money thats the entire fucking point. you creedy fucknuts go shove tour nepotism in your #fucking eyes and die if anyone doesnt deserve to fuck its you fuckfaces #sometimes i just want to scream esp when this doesnt seem to be most other ppls issues #but then i talk to other women and it is #it just doesnt make sense and i hate it #but i never rly got help on private insurance either so #tbd #depression cw

im sorry that now that there’s a bit of a cult following for shinji in the polls, he’s pulled ahead of some strong and lovely banks he certainly wasn’t qualified to beat.

but im NOT sorry for being annoying! :*D he is my favourite guy and i’m having a lot of fun celebrating him with my friends

#its the autism #im way too concerned about bothering people/being annoying irl #but on the blogging website i shan’t be!

i guess i could try using my ko-fi shop again but tbats entirely dependant on traffic i can drive to it and my audience & reach is so thin it feels like

#daze.txt #its so annoying bc its not just like. oh i have a job and my boss is weird and racist or zionist but gotta pay the bills #it being self employment it feels like im more responsible for taking a stand with who i align myself with #but like. a lot of the alternatives are non viable for so many people and starting again from scratch is such a nightmare #especially when you rely wholly on that money #this isnt just like oh im bitching because i have to do something or whatever its like #general frustration at etsys e commerce / craft shop hosting monopoly as well as the state of things yk #etsys Been a nightmare to use and idk if its just bc of increased shipping rates or selling less leather stuff compared to small patch items #or what but my margins have already been fucking atrocious Anyhow is Been a nightmare to use etsy #and the amt of fash and freak shit i see on the website im not surprised at all that theyre pro genocide its just. #final straw a bit in the growing frustration ive Been having

[clamsjams]

this might be an abnormal take but i consider youtubers tweeting about how they’re looking for people to work for them to be unprofessional at best and downright exploitative at worst

#tbh i’m even being a bit generous with giving the at best bit #bc i do wanna believe that these guys are good people and don’t want to exploit anyone #but it’s still shitty #bc who are the people who r going to see these tweets? their fans #and obviously there’s always going to be an imbalanced power dynamic between an employee and their boss #but if the employee is a fan then it tips that unbalanced dynamic even further #they’re almost definitely gonna let the youtuber get away with a lot of stuff bc they’re a fan #and like i’m not even talking about shit like grooming even tho that does set up a perfect environment for it #like i wanna believe that these youtubers have good intentions #but they may not understand stuff like how much money is reasonable to pay for these jobs and stuff like that #and get away with it #and the most common thing i see this for is like thumbnails and video art #so u could argue that they want someone familiar with their videos or something #but then they should mention that in the job description #or go out and find someone like look through fanart tags and find an artist to commission #which would definitely have its own set of problems but i think that would be better than a tweet at least #and like the problem here isn’t necessarily just tweeting about hiring ppl #like companies tweet that they’re hiring all the time and then the tweet has a link to like a linkedin page #or the job page on the company’s website #don’t get me wrong linkedin and indeed and other sites like them are shitty and annoying to use #but they do a lot to legitimize a job posting and set up a professional experience from the start #(looking at u quackity studios) #mcyt #minecraft youtube #discourse #qsmp #posts from the ocean #minecraft yt #youtube #tag rants

[bendybonesss]

if im being honest 99% of my reasoning for having a carrd is just that its fun to make a funnie website. thats literally it

#that and having the interests section acrually helps me remember what my interests even are bc my memory is fuucked lol #& it reminds me of the old web era of people putting their entire life stories on their silly websites #i wasnt even around for that ive just seen relics of it and think its neat #no ones entitled to my info but i am entitled to being annoying about my interests #rambles

Companies: we need workers so bad!! Theres a worker shortage and we desperately need people please apply please work for us please please please

Me: ok sure what do i need to do to apply

Companies: ok so you need 3 years experience in this exact job so we dont have to train you!!

Me: uhhh no but i have 4 years retail experience and this job I want is literally just slightly higher paying retail

Companies: ok do you have a masters degree

Me: did i mention this is basically higher paying retail?? Why would i have a masters degree for this specific thing, all it involves is talking to customers and pointing them to places and maybe cleaning or working a register. All of which i have 4 years experience doing

Companies: well then sorry but youre not qualified, you need experience AND a masters degree

Me:

Companies: WHY WON'T ANYONE WORK FOR US WE NEED WORKERS SO BAD

Me: I'd be a great worker if you'd be willing to spend like a week training me but go off I guess

#i dont see why i would need a masters degree for like working the children and teens section of the library #correct me if theres something im missing here but like #mostly i need to be able to clean and shelve books and tell people where to find books #maybe give book recommendations #maybe help people navigate the website or get help with their own personal devices #thats mostly what librarians do right #this isnt only about my local library btw its about several other unrelated jobs mostly that involve customer service at a front desk #but literally tho ive been a library aid for like 4 years and have done retail also for 4 years #and back in high school i apparently checked out the most books of anyone in the school (3 daily) #i can give recommendations for books in the children and teens section easy #especially manga thats also in the teens section #literally i think i would be so good at this job why do i need a masters #i get it if theyre worried about me not being bilingual but come on #and the other jobs again just stick me at the desk and give me like 1 or 2 weeks training and I'll prolly be good to go #please just give me a job i just need somewhere i can work long term while working on art on the side #is that too much to ask #sorry if this is negative or sounds like a vent post i just think its annoying that everyone complains about a worker shortage #and then turns away applicants with bachelors degrees just cuz they dont have experience with their one specific job #idk i dont get it

#it’s a nice feeling opening a website on its main page and see several featured that you wrote code for #however I can say that I’m definitely burnt out #like I’ve never had it as intense but right now I’m always so tired and annoyed #I also started slacking off at work pretty bad but I compensate by working on weekends which is such a viscous circle. work on weekends #have no energy during the week and slack off. work during the weeks etc #also some people started being so annoying #anyway I don’t what’s coming next so whatever really #see how many mistakes in this rant? my mind is not cooperating and I’m too lazy to fix anything #bc I fix way too many bugs at work so linguistic mistakes mean nothing to me as of now

It is annoying the people on that friend breakup finale poll who think that just cuz grace/simon are cartoon characters they’re like. Just obviously lesser and there’s no way their story could be as crazy or complicated as the characters from the live action horror show and that everyone who wants them to win is a childish loser who only watches baby shows and therefore has invalid opinions

#this is just a grrrrr rant but like aaaaghh #stop being so damn pretentious #like lesbian cannibalism sounds awesome as hell thats so up my alley i have to check them out absolutely #but people thinking that cuz IT is a cartoon it couldnt POSSIBLY be #fucked up in a comparable way is just really annoying #cuz its just people having this mentality of ‘haha look at these stupid tumblr users watching baby shows thinking its dark or sophisticated’ #and idk getting off to being soooooo mature for watching big boy adult shows #dude does it feel good to be on the cringe website laughing at other people for being cringe #do you feel strong now #have you stopped crying yourself to sleep #are you a rich successful lawyer getting hamburgers cooked by your loser high school bullies #does the burger taste good are you happy are you having fun on tumblr

Somebody with sense: "Stop donating to ao3 when you could be doing mutual aid. You're giving that website googobs of money hand over fist and they've yet to do anything about the pernicious content they allow to be hosted on their site."

Y'all: "Haha, you have dono links up! You're poor you're just mad because you're poor and this website that hosts cp gets thousands of dollars to keep hosting cp"

#thotty speaks #thotty rants #like yeah im mad? yeah im annoyed #that website has literally done less than nothing when it comes to how nasty its userbase is #people literally have to be bullied into taking down racist content and cp #and youre acting like im bugging for being mad about that?
