Tips for Reading with ADHD

(or without ADHD, if they help regardless)

Physical print:

  • cover the page with a piece of paper and reveal lines/paragraphs as you read them
  • use a highlighter to emphasize important/interesting parts
  • take notes as you go to be physically engaged with the material

Digital media:

  • copy and paste the text into a doc/word processor
    • change the font size/style/colour to something more legible
    • make your own paragraphs and spacing
  • copy and paste one paragraph at a time to isolate them from the distraction of the rest of the text
  • install a browser extension like BeeLine Reader or Mercury Reader
  • zoom in on the page and scroll slowly so you’re revealing lines as you read them
  • physically cover the screen and reveal lines as you read them
  • if you do better with physical media, print it out or find a physical copy

Both:

  • read out loud
  • pace, move around, or use a fidget while reading

  • set a timer for 5 minutes and read in small chunks with breaks in between
  • divide the material into sections and read one section at a time with breaks in between

  • have another person, audio book, or text-to-speech program read it aloud as you follow along

cell phone doesn’t like water because it is a combination of the other three elements. it is a rock (earth) that we fill with lightning (fire) that can control radio waves (air). if it contained water too, it would be too perfect; it would be like a god. to prevent this, the universe kills the would be uniter-of-the-elements. it’s basic science.

i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job

listen if somebody knows that they will be dead in a years time, and you are forcing them to continue to come into work, that’s fucked up. terminally ill people should be able to quit their jobs and live their last few months to the fullest. i don’t get how that’s a controversial opinion

A couple nights ago I had a nightmare that involved having to shelter in place in a CVS it was very scary but as I was waiting for it to be safe to go outside again I noticed there was a product called something like “Men’s Overnight Moonscreen” and I picked it up and it said it was “SPF 4”

Tixati is a torrent service I like using as well, fairly sure they’re clean and their goal is to be safe, easy to use, and with low resource demand!

qBittorrent is another option

I agree, Tixati is much better than uTorrent. Please support them, they’re a great project.

Trying to fall asleep in summer is much like the dilemma described in Katy Perry’s hit song Hot N Cold (2008).

Allow me to demonstrate. I am not a visual artist, but I will attempt to communicate my point. If any actual visual artists would like to improve upon this, please feel free.

i’m not even thinking about how gerard called it frank’s setlist like frank writing the setlist is such an established thing and how that makes so much sense because who better to decide what to give the fans than the biggest fan of them all. like it hasn’t even crossed my mind
