Hey – it’s #ADHDObsessionWednesday!

I want to hear from my #adhd peeps: what’s your current obsession or passion?

I’m still obsessed with #Mastodon, the #Fediverse, and the possibility of a better internet. So I added a bunch of #IndieWeb features to my new site.

(I was gonna do this on Monday but… I got distracted & forgot 😆)

Arp
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

Anyone else watch #TheBoys? The season finale was a doozy and hits too goddamn close to home. #Comics #USPolitics

#GodzillaMinusOne lived up to the hype. In the first 10 minutes I thought it might be the best opening of any #Gojira #film but by the end it became The Best Godzilla #Movie Ever. Most #kaiju #movies focus on the action and other cool stuff but this one made him terrifying on a human level. I got jolted repeatedly when he attacked, it felt so visceral. The bar has been reset, and I’m dying to see what comes next.

A lot of Claire Paniccia’s marketing advice resonates with me because her thing is helping neurodiverse entrepreneurs. As one of her target audience, I’ve tried a lot of Conventional Marketing Wisdom that (surprise) failed and (no surprise) just added to the reasons I have to self-flagellate while making connecting with people feel more like a chore than an interesting or fun thing to do. This bit from her latest newsletter (the image) hits the spot. The idea that I don’t text a friend at a specific time every week is so common sense yet . I’d much rather have a friend-like relationship with people interested in my efforts than be a robotic provider of content. If you dig this, go check her out. She’s the only newsletter I subscribe to that I actually read. ClairaPaniccia.com

Hey – it’s #lettering I don’t hate! I’ve been messing with #blockletters and finally made something that didn’t suck. But for the life of me I cannot remember what brush I used and I just realized I need to throw in a couple of skulls 🤦🏽‍♂️ This is a line that’s been stuck in my head since Green Day released #Saviors. I feel less dead inside after I stopped taking #adderall. #HandLettering #GreenDay #frankentoon #truegrittexturesupply #greenroommedia #letteringart #digitalart #affinitydesigner #textures #digitalillustrator #ADHD

A belated #TuneTuesday as yesterday got away from me. The #FunSong theme made me think immediately of my newest #music obsession, #ElectricCallboy and their song We Got The Moves. It’s a song about partying and they don’t take themselves seriously in the least. 20yo me would likely sneer at ‘commercialism’ or some other nonesuch but 50yo me enjoys the hell out of this.

Some E-cards meme with a hand drawn graphic of a mustachioed office worker throwing some papers in the air with the words

ADHD
The energy to do anything.
The focus to accomplish nothing.
Too damn true 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
