ADHD Bookseller here! I've had a rough reading year too.
My best advice for ADHD readers is to gravitate to short stories and essay collections — anything that has stand alone content that you can finish in one sitting.
They're good for a quick and easy achievement high too!

In a pretty shocking development, adopting the social principles will now adopt TWO definitions of marriage.
• one adult man and one adult woman of consenting age
• two adults of consenting age
Wow. Just...wow.

I'm done holding back my bad words for this.
A large portion of the people responsible for this are LEAVING.
The immaturity required to actively scuttle the careers of people in a denomination you're LEAVING is FUCKING STAGGERING.
You can go now.

Needed 75%. Revote only got 72%. The candidates that did everything they needed to do to be approved for commissioning by the Board of Ordained Ministry will have to wait a year.

To be clear: I don't like being disabled. it makes so many things about my life — work, dating, staying healthy, etc. — more difficult, and in some cases not worth it.
But celebrating
#DisabilityPride
is about making you understand that I'm just as much of a person as you are.
Disability Pride isn’t just mainly focusing on being proud of being disabled. It also to acknowledge those who may struggle with accepting their disability or may not like being disabled.
Disability Pride is acknowledging everyone’s experience with disability.

Got a tumor removed from my left hand today — one we only found because I got hit by a fucking truck last month. Found out it was a tumor *YESTERDAY* and here we are today.
All is well, but I'd REALLY like to stop getting this hand cut open 😂
Thanks for the vibes, y'all ❤️
Would appreciate prayers and good vibes from the timeline, folks.

The Florida Panhandle is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, full of art and culture and communities that classists are willing to ignore.
It's also full of kind, hardworking victims of the most sophisticated propaganda machine in history. (1/4)
If you give the Florida panhandle to Alabama, Clinton carries the state. There is no Governor DeSantis, or Senator Rick Scott.
It's the worst panhandle.
