By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you’re neurodivergent. I don’t have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

How to Sharpen Executive Functions: Activities to Hone Brain Skills

Here’s a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Enhancing Executive Functioning Difficulties in Adults with Autism

Resources on this aren’t great because they’re mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There’s worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

• Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.
• Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation
• Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.
• Meditation
• Martial arts
• Sports in general
• Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)
• Woodworking
• Cooking
• If you’re bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You do not have to be stuck forever.

Just today I got to see a chess book that I remember reading as a little kid. While it didn’t give me a lifelong passion for chess, it did give me a lifelong passion for fantasy for its artwork.

The book is “Chess for Young Beginners” from 1975, and here’s some of the artwork:

Like, this artwork goes hard. I especially appreciate the colour scheme for the black pieces, with its browns, bronzes, reds and oranges.

This artwork is amazing, evocative, exciting and dramatic. I recommend giving it a look if you have a chance - you can probably scrounge up a PDF of this thing with a bit of searching.

Chat Control is back on track again

Original tweet here

Originally it was assumed that Chat Control would only show up again in October, so I am unsure if this changes anything, if those meetings mean something else or not. If anyone can clear it up, please do.
In the meantime, its very crucial to keep making noises about this.

Even if you are not from Europe, please spread the word.

Here’s what you can do to get started as EU citizens :
https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/take-action-to-stop-chat-control-now/

If you havent grasped the severity of this proposal yet, it would break encryption of private messages, as it would make it mandatory for EU citizens to accept to have their private messages and pictures scanned by artificial intelligence, or else they can’t send any text or pictures anymore.

This is unacceptable.

Tomorows the day where the hungary council will propose chat control again with minimal changes.

Please make your voice heard,call your MPs,write to your minister of interior and justice as well as the permanent EU representatives

https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/

Heres an exemple of what you can send

allesvoorbitcoin.be/eidas/

American followers i am begging you to please reblog things related go chat control too,as its very likely the US governement will take inspiration from chat control if it passes

Y'all, they’re getting back together to vote on this thing on October 10th. If you live in Europe, call your governments and tell them to oppose Chat Control 2.0 (or whatever they’re calling it now). If you don’t live in Europe, spread the word like wildfire. We have to oppose this like we would oppose any other attack on our rights.

Oukej. Je to za pár dní znovu, takže, o co teda jde?

zdroj prvního screenu (CZ, seznam), druhého (CZ, root), třetího (CZ, český rozhlas), další zdroj (EN, stránky německého europoslance)

Nebudem si lhát, je to děsivý. Začne to nehezkej precedent a kdo ví, kdy se “podezřelou aktivitou” stanou ne sexuální narážky k dětem, ale queer věci, cokoli zavánějícího anarchismem nebo jakýkoli jiný odvětví věcí, co se autoritám nelíbí. A kdy to už nebude kontrolovat AI, ale časem se přidá modifikace zákona dovolující podrobné sledování právě lidí, co vykazují tu “podezřelou aktivitu”, a to např. přímo policií. Já vám nevim, ale nechtěla bych, aby mě někdo za deset let zavřel proto, že jsem kámošce s Polska pomohla k potratu v Česku nebo tak. (Nedokážu věřit, že píšu takový věci, ale. To s člověkem blížící se dystopie udělá, hádám o..o)

Co s tím?

• napišme hromadnej mejl všem našim europoslancům a takové té kanceláři, co tam Česko zjevně permanentně má (nekamenujte mě, běžně se o tyhle věci nezajímám).
• vyčkejme a doufejme.

Jak to kurňa napsat? (Tu je originál následujícího návodu)

• Buďte zdvořilí. Řekněte, že je to v rozporu s našimi právy na soukromí a může to být dokonce protiústavní, a požádejte je, aby hlasovali proti tomuto zákonu.

Body, které doporučuji zahrnout do e-mailu:

• Souhlasím s nutností předcházet sexuálnímu zneužívání dětí a bojovat proti němu.
• Obávám se, že navrhovaná pravidla zahrnují neustálý dohled nad osobní komunikací, jako jsou zprávy a e-maily, pomocí umělé inteligence přímo na zařízení.
• Domnívám se, že toto hromadné sledování představuje porušení práva na soukromí, které je zaručeno Ústavou.
• Povinná identifikace prostřednictvím ID karet může zvýšit zranitelnost uživatelů vůči kybernetickým útokům a únikům dat.
• Použití umělé inteligence ke sledování komunikace by mohlo vést k falešným pozitivním výsledkům a nespravedlivě odhalovat soukromé rozhovory nevinných lidí.
• Obávám se, že skuteční zločinci najdou způsoby, jak obejít sledování, čímž se tato opatření stanou neúčinnými proti těm, kteří by měli být skutečně dopadeni. Mezitím mohou být nevinní lidé, kteří se nesnaží těmto opatřením vyhýbat, nespravedlivě odhaleni kvůli falešným poplachům.
• Naléhavě vyzývám k nalezení rovnováhy mezi ochranou dětí a zachováním základních práv občanů.

Mail stálého…čehosi našeho Ministerstva zahraničních věcí: eu.brussels@embassy.mzv.cz

Doporučuju zformulovat mail trošku jinak, než je to v těch bodech a pokud chcete přidat osobní detail, to je jen plus. Taky je možný psát každému zvlášť podle jeho politické příslušnosti nebo tak, ale jde o hodně lidí, takže si nedělám iluze xD

O co nám jde? Dát jim vědět, že nám to není jedno a že se o to voliči zajímají. Když se kouknou oni nebo jejich asistent*ka do mailu, potřebujem, aby to z nových zpráv bylo jasné.

…hodně štěstí a děkuju za pomoc :’))

P.S. - jestli se tohle schválí, na politiky se to sledování pravděpodobně nevztahuje, takže… víme jak. Jim v podstatě o nic nejde. Zbavme je pocitu, že si toho vlastně nikdo nevšimne.

@mu-mumie děkuju ti moc ❤️❤️ jako někdo, kdo teď nemá kapacitu, strašně ocenuju tohle shrnutí. Budu mailovat

having a great time on the Wikipedia list of megalithic sites in Ireland

“the Irish believe it is bad luck to damage or destroy these [OLDER THAN THE PYRAMIDS] tombs” hell yeah, me too. definitely think the Irish know what they’re talking about after 5,000 years

straight up sounds like the Wikipedia article writer is FED UP

There are an estimated 35,000 megalithic structures in Europe alone. I think most of them are still there because humans have felt an innate ancestral fear of disturbing them passed down since they were constructed.

sometimes being busy we forget to get cat food before we run out and only find out in the morning when it’s cat breakfast time, but the cats aren’t upset because they know if there’s no kibble then they get to have the ✨rare beef✨slices from the cold box until I can go to the store to get normal food

do you know how hard it is to prepare beef for cat consumption properly when all 5 of them are using you as a cat tower

I was obligated to draw them after reading bams post

genderqueerdykes:

you know, it makes sense to talk about when older queer people living as themselves inspires younger queers to do the same, but i don’t think we talk enough about how the bravery of young queers can inspire and help older queers, too. like, actually seeing younger trans men who don’t bind and wear dresses makeup and keep their hair long has inspired me to feel more comfortable being a feminine trans man.

actually, seeing young queers who use neopronouns helped me feel more comfortable in using pronouns i genuinely like as opposed to pronouns i feel obligated to use for everyone else’s comfort. actually, seeing young queers who identify as things like gaybians, fagdykes, lesboys, girlfags, and other “contradictory” labels made me feel more confident in being those things, too. there is something to be said about the bravery of people who are just learning how to express themselves fully.

i think we can all take pages from each others’ books. we all have something to learn from and teach each other. of course older queers being there for the younger generations is important, but older queers have a lot to learn from younger generations, too.

disgusted with the service i was offered today. i went to the linux distro store asking them to show me a straight one and they simply were baffled saying stupid things like “ma'am this is not a physical space how did you do this” and “ma'am in order to get here you have to have made several incorrect assumptions about not only linux but also the nature of reality” “ma'am where am i” “ma'am there’s no such thing as a linux store” and most infuriating of all “what the fuck do you mean a straight one”. So unprofessional!

now that this post has settled down at a comfortable 400 notes i do want to say that it has reached its target audience of like clearly ex-reddit linux users with some kind of transness who want to have sex with robots and reblog something like once a month
