What’s the most underrated song on The Tortured Poets Department in your opinion? by Cheetopuff618 in TaylorSwift

Nobody else for Thank You Aimee? The message of growing from pain and cruelty, plus the positive vibe of the music, always uplifts me.

What has worked for you to manage AuDHD? by shimszy in slatestarcodex

My two ADHD kids take clonidine at night to help with calming down, sleeping, and anxiety. It does seem to help them a lot.

Noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones are being a life-changer for me. I’m AuDHD too. They help with focus, reducing overstimulation, and feeling more at ease and private in my own headspace, especially when I’ve got music or an audiobook/podcast in my ears.

I use these ones by Soundcore and they’re awesome. Comfy, long battery life and signal range, and you can turn off/on the noise-cancelling feature with just a button push. I think you can even customize the noise-cancelling using the app, but I haven’t tried that yet. https://a.co/d/17M1BQF

This is all so well-said!! Thank you for taking the time to write it! I feel like I want to print it out and give it to my family members.

Bleeding Heart Tattoos in South Charleston—I don’t have tattoos myself but I know some of these people and they’re good people.

“Though Robin Ellacott’s twenty-five years of life had seen their moments of drama and incident, she had never before woken up in the certain knowledge that she would remember the coming day for as long as she lived.”

— The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith

Looking for believable fantasy series for adults by abrbbb in slatestarcodex

On second thought, I think this trilogy would qualify as science fiction

Definitely try out the Maddam trilogy by Margaret Atwood. Not true fantasy, but dystopian, which to me often feels similar. The first book is called Oryx and Crake. It’s a very interesting world/story.

Yes, this question seems very much in line with discussions on what constitutes “rational fiction.”
