StreetComplete tasks got my neighborhood to be the best-mapped little village I’ve ever seen! 😎

Since I’m walking around for exercise anyway, I’ve got most of the addresses, and now I’m working on the fire hydrants.

It looks really pathetic.

I’m ready for some Deadpool and Wolvie action, though.

I was able to get an adult ADD diagnosis in my 50s from my mental health counselor. Which was forwarded to my PCP. Only then I was allowed to start meds.

I have heard it’s notoriously hard to get a diagnosis as an adult.

It’s me in this clown makeup and I don’t like it.

College was really hard for me. A big bundle of distractions at a vulnerable age in my life. I about failed out twice out of STEM degrees. I finally found a Liberal Arts degree that I could get a BA in.

Then a few years later, I had married somewhat. I went back and completed by STEM degree, somehow.

Now I’m back at it again 20+ years later, working on my Masters in IT. It takes all of my ADHD coping skills. Making lists. Exercise. Counseling. Supporting friends and family.

It’s possible, but it’s hard.

I’ve found Midwest.Social to be both wholesome and pleasantly left-leaning.

I was with you until the “burn it all to the ground”.

If you don’t have something to replace it with, the rich and powerful will simply take advantage of the chaos.

Tear down the bad, but keep the good, and build more good.

It doesn’t sound very neutral if you say, “I like to fuck dudes.”

But no judgment if you do.

A couple of years ago I discovered the Bahn Mi. Delicious!

It’s a Vietnamese sammich with pork, mayo, pickled veggies, and cilantro, on a French baguette!

Delish. Now I want one.

Funny, but why does “unnecessary utilities” lady have a hand sprouting from her elbow?

I can only imagine the conversation and arm twisting by Roberts. Thomas would have never have done this on his own.
