I saw a magazine today with Tom Petty on the cover and all I could think was that Tom Petty is the result if you combine Alice Cooper and Kurt Cobain.

The explanation survived. The restraint did not.

Humorous image of a sleepy kitten on a keyboard representing ADHD overwhelm when choosing what to work on first.
Choosing counts as progress, right? 🫠
Executive function is a finite resource. I used it all on the menu.

For a split second I actually thought Debenhams had gone into veterinary care #BrainsAreWeird
Freeze-frame of Conan O’Brien mid-blooper, with text beside him that reads: “Word to the wise: Do not watch Conan O’Brien bloopers while eating dinner. I legit thought I was gonna have to bang on a neighbor’s door and mime the Heimlich.”
Do not combine Conan bloopers and dinner.I nearly had to mime the Heimlich on a stranger’s porch.

A hand holding a pencil hovers over lined paper filled with Pitman shorthand squiggles. Overlaid text reads: “Brains are weird. I keep catching myself mentally tracing what people say in Pitman shorthand — swoop, hook, slash. I learned it in sixth grade.”
My brain still tries to write what people say in Pitman shorthand.
I learned it in sixth grade.
I didn’t use it for long.
Apparently that doesn’t matter.

I’d trade my ability to remember all the words to the 1980s Oreo jingle if I could understand and explain string theory.
But no. I get two brain cells singing, “like the one and only creamy crunchy choc-o-late, O-R-E-O, keeps your milk from getting lonely…”

Someone tell me why I woke up at 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep until I looked up the correct pronunciation of the word "Artificer" because my brain was stuck on artifer or articer but knew neither was right #brainsareweird #why #nothinggoodhappensat4am
Doing the long division, it turns out I have ADHD.
By long division, I mean I took a nap on a stimulant but still felt like i put glasses on my brain #brainsareweird
Did a big ol' brain dump for a few hours with the website manifesto
It's squarely in the realm of "thinking big thoughts" that might mean I'm getting manic (delusion of grandeur are a thing). But, I took a nap and went to the beach. Those are generally good signs I'm not ramping up

You ever put your hands on your head to stop and think and then suddenly realize how much of your life is lived inside of this small area between your hands and nowhere else?

Why is it that when I’m falling asleep, I can: Invent something awesome. Write a fantastic screenplay. Develop an incredible App. Solve world hunger.
But when I’m awake, I can only doomscroll and play mindless games on the iPad?

Working on art with AuDHD means I get stuck on things until I make so many that I get tired of them and don't make them ever again.

Woke up *really* annoyed at my lovely husband and it took me a bit to realize it was about something from a dream.

My brain as I fell asleep after pressing the snooze button this morning:
Oh so if we were eating a pirate (confectionary, cake, bread, real - who knows?), and someone was late to the eating the pirate feast, I could say, "I saved the pegleg for you!"

OK, brain. What the fuck. You were looking forward to FINALLY getting to this laid out proofreading 45 minutes ago while we were at the print shop. Now that I'm at my desk with the files up, you say "Nu-uh. Idunwanna."

Yesterday during my checkup, the nurse shone a v bright light into my eyes to examine them.
At the time, I thought:
"Welp, THAT'S gonna be a migraine."
And today it is.
This is not a complaint, just an observation that #BrainsAreWeird. 🧠🤓🤔
Woke up from an intense dream/nightmare where I was having an affair with Danny Castellano behind Mindy Lahiri's back at a hotel where we were all staying. Troubling on so many levels! (Including the part where I realized I was accidentally wearing someone else's shoes.) #BrainsAreWeird
Drifting in and out of twilight sleep while reading the end of @tkingfisher.bsky.social's _What Feasts At Night_ was an utterly bizarre yet entirely appropriate manner in which to experience this book.

Just remembered that I woke up in the middle of the night to flip over and thought, “Oh! It’s ‘my beats per minute never been the same.’” and went back to sleep. #whamcomprehension #brainsareweird
Uh, I think I had a dream in mostly Spanish last night. Like, I was speaking it as a second language, but I was speaking with some decent fluency. I can't remember why I needed to speak Spanish, but I distinctly remember feeling proud of it. #brainsareweird #sleepprocessing
Had a VIVID dream I picked up my new laptop from the service desk of Incredible Universe last night haha-remember those? #BrainsAreWeird
