a comic drawn by leslie ewing published in the program guide for the march on washington for lesbian gay and bi equal rights and liberation, april 1993
[ID: a comic with two lesbians. one, in a shirt that says “deaf ‘n’ dykey,” does an old sign for “lesbian.” the other, in a wheelchair, thinks “yess!!” end ID.]
additional context for the sign: this sign for “lesbian” is in the same place as “bad” or “wrong,” so it’s less politically correct today, and often reclaimed. think “lesbo” or “dyke”
thank you so much for this context!!

HAPPY MOON LANDING DAY!!!
[ID: a photo of the moon in the sky with colorful text over it. A red arrow points at the moon and says: Pure and Unsullied Celestial Orb? Wrong! An ape hath touched it! Blue text reads: Happy Mon Landing Day! It's surrounded by cartoon stars and a smiling Saturn. /]
I'm not about to argue the finer points of Southern culture with anyone, because I can accept that I was born and raised in the hot flames of a dumpster fire, but I'll tell you gotdamned commie Yankees one thing: I'd rather be dead in the hallowed halls of a Cook Out than alive in an In-N-Out
id: a tweet that reads "The South has some of the most horrifying things I've ever heard of". below the tweet is a menu for Cook Out. It reads "Choices: regular hamburger, regular barbecue, two hotdogs, big double burger, quesadilla (chicken or beef), regular chicken, cajun chicken, spicy chicken, bbq (char or grilled) chicken, chicken strips (3 or 5 sand.). Choose 2 sides or double up: hushpuppies, slaw, onion rings, fries, chicken nuggets, chili, corndog, chicken wrap, quesadilla (chicken or beef), bacon wrap. Choose a beverage: LG. drink, huge tea, bottle water, coke/cheerwine float, or fancy shake, add $1". ed id

I gotta ask, how do people, like, do stuff???
here’s what i’ve figured out so far:
-gotta have eat first
-gotta sleep enough first
(seriously so many days i’m like “i have all afternoon I’ma Do a Thing” and then i just kinda buzz around and do Nothing and think “WHY” and then i’m like “oh yeah i’m really fuckening tired”)
-gotta be Excited About It (ADHD brain only does things if they’re Literally the Most Interesting Thing Happening Right Now) (so like, hype yourself up to work on a project, or think about how happy you’ll be with a cleaner room/all those chores done)
-gotta have small, doable first step (like, “get cloth from fabric drawer” or “open google docs”
-FUCK distractions (computer is in drawer, phone is Off)
-Engage the Senses (if task needs Brain, play vague background Music, if task needs No Brain, listen to audiobook/podcast)
-maybe set time limit so i don’t get lost??? e.g. i have a little egg timer that i use because the ticking isn’t distracting but is enough to remind me that Time is a Thing that is Passing Right Now
-gotta have Self Awareness and Thinky about the Moment (get into the habit of Consciously Noticing what you’re doing at the moment, so you’re more likely to go “wait, this isn’t what i wanted to be doing” and be able to redirect)
-be willing to redirect and try to do something else if whatever you want to do Just Isn’t Happening
-DON’T beat yourself up for only doing part of something, or failing entirely- all that does is make your brain associate “trying to do stuff” with “well that SUCKED”. Which means you don’t want to try again. Tell urself u did good for trying, and if it didn’t work, try again later, or figure out why it didn’t work and try a different way. Reward yourself for trying
this is what i’ve figured out about cajoling the Thinky No Worky Brain into Doing Stuff. it’s not 100% reliable, especially if I forget to do some of these things (like SLEEP), but it’s what i got, ya know??
I wasn’t actually expecting any answers when I made that post but damn this is really helpful, thank you <3
