Divorce Seems To Radicalize American Men In A Way That Needs To Be Studied

This is what I keep telling people

When I was a (unmedicated, undiagnosed ADHD) kid, like, under 12, my room was a mess all the time. Not shocking.

I struggled keeping it clean.

I struggled getting it clean.

I would sincerely put in quite a bit of effort and be really proud of the progress I made. Then one of my parents would come check and see how I was doing.

"Well, you've still got a long way to go."

That sentence. I was like, 11 when my parents were saying that to me. It was crushing. All my pride and satisfaction with my work was completely gone. All my effort was worthless to them. All they saw what everything I didn't do.

At the age of ELEVEN, I knew that wasn't right. That wasn't fair. I swore to myself I would never invalidate someone's work like that.

Now, at 30, I catch myself thinking 'I cleaned up, but my apartment is still so messy.' and I flashback to standing in my bedroom as a child, hearing those fucking words from my parents.

'No. I wouldn't invalidate someone else's work. I'm not going to invalidate my own. I did good. I made progress.' and I'll list the things that I DID get done to myself.

You deserve credit for all the progress you make.

You deserve credit for all the work you do.

It doesn't matter how much work you have left.

What you accomplish, no matter how small, counts. Even when what you accomplished was taking a day to rest and recharge and give yourself a break.

Never let anyone invalidate your work. Not even you.

did you know you can look up patents by application number. patent number 1 in the US is a 1836 traction wheel design for locomotives. US patent number 100000 is a sun hat for horses

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.

The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.

LIFE OR DEATH EMERGENCY

please help me. i’m non-binary, latine, and disabled. my food stamps have been cut off, i have no income, and i’m struggling financially.

my cat currently has a urinary obstruction and needs to be kept in the hospital for 2-3 days. if he does not receive treatment he will die.

he has had obstruction scares in the past but the doctor told us that today he is completely obstructed.
