Another week where my main topic to share is how I am having trouble focusing and making what I’d consider real progress on things.

I’ve been a bit worried for a while now about changes in my mental health. Mainly in how even with more support, from others around me, from my doctors, and from checking in with myself more, it seems like I’m having a harder time putting long focus into things, or sorting information in my brain.

Worst for me, it makes me feel like it’s harder and harder to have “deep thoughts”, or make the type of mental connections that I used to rely on.

This isn’t overly worrying yet, though it has gotten me thinking. What does it mean for me when I find my thinking impaired? I literally wrote a todo on my daily list to “Find ways to increase brain goodness 😅” because I’m recognizing it as something that I want to change. I am distracted, unable to give long-term focus to a task, and bounce repeatedly between things. Writing this paragraph has been a chore of its own!

Do you have any experience in managing ADHD symptoms? How do you not let that take over your whole day?

Gasp, a non-autistic individual claiming ownership of a space and being shitty in other ways, like being a TERF.

nostalgia may be derided often, but there’s little wrong with wanting to relive a website from a different time, focused on the love of the users than the whims of advertisers and trackers.

Someone finding the source of this famous Lost Media song in a 70’s porn is about the best outcome that I could think for this hunt.

Why it took so long, nobody knows. I’m just salty that I kinda had to deal with this at all.

I am not hoping for any apocalypse, but one where abundance still allows us to reflect on consciousness doesn’t sound like the worst.

I would laugh at this if I didn’t have to deal with people who twist up pretzel-shaped logic using leftist academic language to prop up some really weird and annoying hills for them to unfortunately shout from.

Some of these are very true, but I’m specifically sharing for pushback on the weird need that some people have for everyone to have an opinion and be informed on every topic, otherwise it reflects poorly on them as individuals.

The little shark is cute! The little shark is sad 😔

I remember watching this episode, but I never saw the behind the scenes of it. I love some of the true friendship that the Dropout crew displays time after time.

I wanna read a sad but cozy sci-fi story of some future visitors touring the planet for long art projects, seeing what is still around.

New to me channel with several videos that I’ve liked. Spending time thinking about myself has also given me better options to take care of myself and recognize when things need to be addressed.

This is just a fun interview from over 40 years ago, talking about grown men being terminally and uselessly online like the present 🤣

If you made it this far, why not share this newsletter with a friend? Or share with me some of the things that you found that you liked this week. Either way, I’m thrilled!
