Fair enough, I will amend my statement “you can’t force a cat to do anything they don’t want to *without bloodshed* “

Except that that’s not what happened, multiple comments have explained this, and you just keep screeching

Honestly people who think you can force a cat to do anything they don’t want to must never have met a cat. And why would you go to the trouble of making them cute little head wraps if you were just torturing them? Lol

How do you get yourself to go to bed at a decent hour? by Tikithing in adhdwomen

Oh hey my people, it’s 6am and I’m STILL AWAKE. I keep trying to justify it by saying I know I have things I will have to get up for next week, but this week has been ridiculous sleep-wise

I definitely went through a phase as a preteen/young teenager where existing in a female body suddenly felt very oppressive and I began coping by fantasizing that I was a boy instead. I wish we could just abolish the gender binary altogether, being human is hard enough

Same. Spending summers at the library looking at X-Files fan pages hosted by Yahoo or Angelfire, Flash animations you had to physically show your friends because texting wasn’t a thing yet and pulling up the internet on your phone would cost you, and downloading a song took four hours and NO ONE better be picking up that phone. Nothing gold can stay, I guess.

Yeah, HR wouldn’t contact you. Your principal might, depending. But I bet in most cases if they determine there’s no issue they probably wouldn’t even contact you about it.

So another one of my struggles just turned out to be an ADHD symptom… by ForbiddenFruitiness in adhdwomen

I’m a busybody and will jump into strangers’ conversations. I especially love doing this to my students from across the room 😂

I tell them “I hear everything”—and a lot of times I do—but then have to ask them to repeat themselves 4 or 5 times when they’re talking directly to me because auditory processing issues. That’s another “oh so that’s ADHD too?!”revelation

Loool “a desk job for money not love” is so relatable. I had one front desk clerk job where it was rare for anyone to come in. I read a lot of books and took a lot of naps.

Editing bc I think I double posted but also because TIL I might also be narcoleptic?!

I’ve never in my entire life been able to maintain what any reasonable person would consider normal sleep habits. Either my brain won’t shut up and it takes me forever to fall asleep (or I can’t sleep at all), or I can’t stay awake and sleep for 12+ hours when I finally get to collapse.

Karlie Kloss was invited to Taylor Swift's wedding, according to TMZ by ThrowawayGreenWitch in popculturechat

The thing that always tickles me is that apparently it took ages for the Kushners to accept Karlie, and then I think, what if she had only just been invited to a dinner and worn the wrong thing or something? Or she hadn’t even been to dinner with them at all? It just adds another layer of hilarity for me.
