Duh, file under ‘No Shit’. The real problem is that the behemoths #Meta and #Google love the revenue involved and are fascist themselves as they need to steal our data to make money.

Also: even before the #GOP took their masks off, #America didn’t give a rat’s ass about the good of society.

Arp Laszlo

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

More Notes & Asides

Sooooooo I stopped taking my #ADHD meds almost 2 weeks ago. I was feeling less & less motivated over time and running more on autopilot; I realized that happened slowly over the last 2 years. Without the #adderall my mind is a lot fuzzier, my #timeBlindness is raging, and my short-term #memory is Fd – but I also feel happier and more present. The only negative is I actually get irritated and/or crabby now, but it’s on me to be aware of my feelings.

I’m naming my adhd blog ‘What Was I Doing Again?’ I say that multiple times a day, except it usually starts with ‘WTF’ and I didn’t think that would be a great name or URL 😆

I feel better about #handlettering after watching #chrispiascik’s most recent #video. Now I gotta just play play play every day and put all the #texture brushes I’ve collected over the years to use. #lettering #letteringart #digitalart #affinitydesigner #textures #frankentoon #retrosupply #truegrittexturesupply #greenroommedia #digitalillustrator #frick

Copy of a private message with a heart emoji in the bottom left. Hey man you don't know me but just wanted to say I appreciate you posting about your ADHD on here. It was one of the things that helped me decide to get checked and found it I had it too and getting on medication to help with it has just been nothing but awesome for me. So thank you! Have a great day! Btw love the pet bird stories too!

This made my day! I’m glad that posting and sharing about #adhd helped someone out – and they love our birb too 🙂 #AdultADHD #ADHDer #LateDX

Hey #WordPress #WooCommerce fam: is it possible to use just a #webhook to trigger an abandoned cart #automation? By ‘just a webhook’ I mean not using any abandoned cart plugins and simply sending data from a webhook to a #CRM. Here’s an adorable #kitten for #Caturday so you’re wondering why following the #WP hashtag is showing a #cat. #webhooks #ecommerce #cats #kittens #CaturdayEveryday #Felines #CatsOfMastodon

Just writing this stresses me the f out 😖 I’m pushing myself far out of my comfort zone, to pursue something I’ve long wanted, that I think I can do well – but have been frozen by #anxiety, #ImposterSyndrome, & #RejectionSensitiveDysphoria. I’m gonna record myself singing for the #GreenDay Cover Project, deadline next Tuesday 3/15 at midnight.
