“Kage no Retsuden: Senju Tobirama” by Huamei, art sharable by artist under Creative Commons BY-2.5. Click through to the source to see a few more versions.

The artist writes that she would like to write a manga about Tobirama and call it “Biography of a Kage” (which is the meaning of the kanji here), so she decided to take the fun of making a cover for it. However, she’s not sure if she will have the perseverance to finish an entire manga.

There’s a post floating around about how the ADHD diagnoses and the use of stimulants is a result of American capitalism getting us all addicted to stimulants and like…

I used to have a caffeine addiction. 12-15 cups of coffee a day. I would drink an enormous cup of coffee just to fall asleep. I did this because coffee was the ONLY thing that slowed my brain down enough to do anything, including sleep. I knew cigarettes and alcohol would probably work but refused to touch them for personal reasons.

I’ve since gotten an ADHD diagnosis and take 7.5mg of adderall twice a day. I drink one, maybe two cups of coffee and will sometimes go days without any coffee at all. I sleep soundly for a full 8 hours most nights.

Before you point at countries like France where ADHD “doesn’t exist”, I ask you to sincerely consider how normalized self medication is in those countries. Smoking, coffee, and alcohol are all ways people with ADHD self medicate when they can’t access medications.

Stimulants don’t work in ADHD brains the same way they do in brains without ADHD. While many of our medications are stimulants because of how they work to fix our broken dopamine systems, some ADHD medications aren’t even stimulants.

I’m not saying that stimulants aren’t on the black market, that they aren’t abused, and that they are sometimes improperly prescribed. I’m saying this is a complicated issue with a lot of moving parts, and that denying the existence of and stigmatizing the proper treatment of a legitimate learning disability isn’t going to help anyone.

Please don’t hesitate

1 penny below reporting limit for the IRS… I see what you did there

(Don’t give me $599.99)

That’s not the right IRS rule.

$599.99 is the amount below which a business does not need to issue a 1099 to a contractor who provides business services. The contractor still needs to report the income on their taxes.

The correct number for the IRS rule for money that is gifted rather than received in a business transaction is $13999.99–more than that, and the recipient has to pay tax on the gift and report it to the IRS. Less than that, and there’s no taxation or reporting requirement.

If we’re choosing amounts on the basis of IRS limits, give these people $13,999.99. 

Go. Do it.

Hey I’m not so sure if this relates to my ADHD or not, however every time my parents ask me to do something right as im about to get up to do said thing, or am thinking about doing it, I respond aggressively and the smart part of me tries to tell me they cant read my mind and since i usually forget to do it the first 5 times…. Anyway I try to find words to tell them “I don’t want you to remind me [to late] but I need you to sometimes but not right now how would you know that though h e l p”

;alksjf;asldasdsjdf a;slj god the number of times I’ve felt a spike of irritation because I’ve been thinking for the last 45 minutes ‘get up and do it. do it. do it. do it. do it’ and then somebody comes and says ‘hey can you do the thing’. you literally put it into words. how even. there it is. that’s exactly the feel

but just now as I’ve been typing this answer I’m thinking: what if we kind of … need a person to remind us to do the thing so that our brain can stop running in circles trying to force us to do the thing?

like – I could really do without the rejection sensitive dysphoria feeling that causes the immediate anger. in my case it’s definitely the part of my brain that’s like ‘wow I’m the worst because I didn’t do it until someone reminded me but it’s their fault because I didn’t need reminding in the first place’. but otoh, would I really have gotten up to do it without someone outside poking me? because I think – at least for me – I’ve been telling myself ‘i’m gonna get up and do it NOW’ for like an hour usually and so while I was ‘about to do it’ I don’t know if I would have actually … done it? I don’t knoooooww.

so maybe what we need is to explain this to our reminder person? like ‘hey, I want you to know that usually when you ‘remind’ me I’m actually thinking about getting up to do it but having a hard time actually getting up to do it. so can you phrase it some way that’s not as a reminder? but more like ‘hey, are you having a hard time getting up to do the thing? this is just me trying to help you to get up to do the thing’ or something.

this got long and maybe too hard to read!  sorry :C but thanks for giving me thinky thoughts about this.

Oh gosh.
