Have you ever listened to MLK speak or read anything he's written? Dude would absolutely be what he is today if he had not been murdered.

What the world needs to understand about Australia is that our country is essentially a huge playground for the fossil fuel industry.

Australia is already catching up to America on obesity rates. But fuck it let's just go full America on this shit.

Himesh Patel is a fucking amazing actor and I will watch anything he does.

Neo classical economics is a cult and this is a hill I'm willing to die on.

Hahahaha umm yeah it does. This is kind of why a lot of people have some issues with the whole capitalism thing. It's not good for anyone but capitalists.

Agreed. These people are just trying to have fun and enjoy themselves and you're kind of a fucking asshole if you have a problem with that. It says more about you then it does them.

Not because of the racism that Stan identified though. They're okay with drawing a line around 'toxic behaviour' but not the racism, ableism, sexism, transphobia and homophobia that they have platformed for years through their use of tweets on QandA.They should have immediately responded to Stan's experience with an assessment of how their engagement with social media enabled the racist abuse directed at Stan. The ABC has a terrible problem with racism in their own institution and have not anything to address or remedy this. Stan is not the only person who has drawn attention to this and the ABC regularly receives complaints about people like Paul Barry while continuing to give them a platform.

STOP USING TWEETS ON QANDA THEN! After what happened with Stan Grant ABC really need to evaluate how they use social media sites like Twitter. They needed to do this the moment Stan raised it as an issue and had to step away from his role.

'Do it now or do it never' has become my motto. Essentially, try to capitalise on the dopamine rush that comes with tricking yourself into thinking that it's urgent and your deadline is right now.

Also gamifying tasks and setting up rules where I can't do x until I've done y. Usually x will be a reward based activity. I find just reinforcing productive behaviour with a reward is very useful, even if it feels indulgent.

Look if you're not disabled or special needs you really don't have any right to reclaim this word in any sense. This is the equivalent of trying to reclaim the n word as a white person. It's just incredibly inappropriate and insensitive. Also, can I just say, your definition of repurposing this word is incredibly problematic because you're actually still just using it to mean the same thing it was originally intended to mean. And it's incredibly offensive, just so you know. So please don't use this word.

And frankly as a person with a cognitive disability, our community really isn't keen on repurposing the r word in any way so please don't think you can just jump in and do this without consulting the people it impacts. Even if we had repurposed this word, it's still offensive for non-disabled people to use it in the same way it's offensive for white people to use the n word.

For me it's all of the academic subs.

Honestly I just started by winging it. I played a lot of sport as a kid and just started by doing some of the stretches I learnt growing up. Then you can kind of figure out which stretches you like most and what order you like doing them in. The key thing for me was really just inserting it into my existing routine. So if you already have a workout routine you can just add it to that. If you don't then you could try doing it first thing in the morning when you get out of bed, or last thing at night before you go to bed.

In some ways I think it really sucks that medical professionals get to be gatekeepers of our identity in this way. Which is why I really dig the neurodiversity paradigm because it gives us a way of exploring our identities as identities rather than just dsm labels. People who don't understand tend to assume that we all just want to label ourselves for the sake of it. But identity is a complex thing and having an explanation for why you're different from the norm is very powerful.

Knowing that you're neurodivergent also allows you to explore ways of structuring life around that. For example, there are a range of non-pharmaceutical options for managing adhd. And they often work best when tailored to each individual's needs. There's also the benefit of knowing what your strengths and limitations are (all people have these regardless of adhd). Another key thing is also being able to find your community! This is something that a lot of people really underestimate the significance of.

Started a daily stretching routine recently. I read one of those 'things you wish your younger self did' posts and stretching came up a lot so I thought I'd give it a go. I guess there's some pretty irreversible consequences that come from aging so doing what you can to limit that seems like a good idea.

The happening really holds up as one of the greatest bad movies.

You got yourself a good colleague here. Seriously there are so many bad ways this conversation could have gone. But also the only type of person who asks someone if they're neurodivergent is another neurodivergent person. From what I understand neurotyps tend to interpret a question like that as offensive. Like they'd have to be a super ally, down with the neurodiversity movement, has a kid, partner or close family member who's neurodivergent type of neurotypical.

If you are neurodivergent then cool, enjoy the journey in rediscovering your identity. It's important to know that our capacity to function can be context dependent and relative to the supports / systems that we have in our lives. You may feel like you're doing fine now but there may be a point where things change and your capacity is reduced. This is where knowing you're neurodivergent can be helpful because it can be useful in developing self compassion and negotiating your support needs. Or maybe you've built up all of these coping and management strategies that work for you and you're able to just keep on keeping on. Either way it's always good to learn more about yourself.

Anywhere with one of those social market economies is looking good right now compared to the rest of us trying to survive in free market capitalism. I know the differences may not seem too obvious on the surface but my country has pretty much outsourced all aspects of governing to the private market. We used to have quite a robust social safety net and now we're just like a mini America and it fucking sucks.

Went to the Germany vs South Korea game in Brisbane recently and it was so much fun! The crowd were awesome and the vibe was just spectacular.

I'm sorry but what the actual fuck is your political system? I'm been sitting here thinking France is one of the healthiest democracies because you actually protest. But now I see why all the protesting.
