ADHD Jesse

Reminder: I created this ADHD Creators starter pack to share so people can quickly find their favorite ADHD creators on Bluesky! go.bsky.app/9oUzfgP

Got a shiny new iPhone Duo? Check out my app, Flux for Bluesky @fluxapp.blue which has full Duo support!

My toxic trait is saying yes to things I have the ability to do, without considering if I have the time, energy, or motivation.

So… the iPhone Duo is incredible and I don’t think I’ll ever want to go back. Reminds me a LOT of how I felt with the original iPhone. Are there flaws? Sure. But none of them are fatal and the positives are SO DANG EXCITING AND FUN.

My Bluesky app Flux is ready for iPhone Duo with multi-column support and dynamic navigation! 💪

ADHD is like 50% not working, 50% working frantically to make up for the not working part, 50% thinking about the work I should be doing (but not actually working), and 50% not sleeping (but trying to).

ADHD packing list: • 7 books you won’t read • ipad full of movies/shows you won’t watch • random crap that sounded important 5 minutes before you left • extra toothbrush? Stuff forgotten: • toothpaste • an entire category of clothing • one REALLY important cable

The ADHD urge to buy a thing, watch all the videos about the thing, religiously track shipping until the thing arrives, excitedly open the shipping box to get to the thing, and then place the thing somewhere random and forget about it for 3-60 months.

Pretty excited for the next version of @fluxapp.blue which is fully ready for the iPhone Duo and packed with a bunch of other cool updates (dynamic columns on iPad/Duo, livelines for following live events/sports, GIF support, and more). Just waiting for Apple approval. 🤞 https://fluxapp.blue/duo

[doing things I’m bad at] “ugh, I suck at everything” [doing things I’m good at] “this doesn’t count because it’s easy for me”

ADHD symptoms be like: • annoys teachers • hard to parent • not great at jobs • kinda creative? • too quiet • too loud • too sensitive • too much

ADHD is always hearing “you’re doing it wrong” even though your way works.

I live in constant fear of getting bored with something I love.

“I hope that made sense” “I’m fine either way” “Anyways, sorry I’m rambling a bit” “Just a thought, whatevs” — little anxiety-fueled gifts I like to send along with any communication in an attempt to shield myself from rejection

If boredom feels like literal pain, you might want to look into ADHD.

My vibe is feeling overwhelmed but also like I’m not doing enough.

“Make it a habit” = the big lie for fixing ADHD problems.

My friend made one shower for the internet to share. showerfortheinternet.com

Lazy = I don’t want to do the thing. ADHD = I desperately WANT to do the thing, but I just can’t seem to START doing the thing.

The hidden burden of undiagnosed ADHD is constantly inventing excuses in an attempt to justify behavior you don’t even understand yourself.

Any friends gonna be at PAX West (video game nerd conference) this weekend? Would love to say hi!

ADHD is selective hearing but you don’t get to do the selecting.

me: [about to do something that I want to do] someone: "you have to do that" me: I've never wanted to do something less, I will fight you

[casually googling ‘worst mariners shut out in history’] “Oh look, a new record.”

[me every day]: is _this_ the lowest point of the Mariners?

Kinda chic to ignore every important task in my life so I can hyperfocus on the only (horribly unimportant) task that happens to sound interesting in this very moment.

Strengths: works well under pressure Weaknesses: doesn’t work otherwise

I am Mariners fan. I am pain.

This is THE best third party bsky app on the App Store. Reminds me a lot of Ivory for Mastodon... I've missed that a lot since I moved to bsky but this is nice

Oooh, dis gonna be good. 👀

@mjwhansen.com did I somehow miss it, or did you forget to actually say where @leenyburger.bsky.social got hired in the new ep? At one point you say something like “and Colleen was hired by… oh wait we should talk about why you aren’t at Geocodio anymore” and I don’t think you came back to it. 😂

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD: • when it’s interesting, I can start on it • when it’s uninteresting, I can’t Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T. I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.

I hate deadlines (but I need deadlines) & I hate structure (but I need structure)

I never played the original Star Fox 64. Is the new Switch 2 remake worth checking out for someone without the nostalgia hook?

The ADHD urge to think I can learn a new language before an international trip next year… Or next month… Or next week…

My one request for WWDC is the same as it’s been for the last decade. Custom watchfaces for Apple Watch.
