Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

I totally buy it.
When I set my mind to something, I will doggedly pursue that goal at all costs. When something doesn't stimulate me, it's torture.
Went camping, nobody wanted to gather firewood except me and my other ADHD friend. We were in heaven. Got to collect sticks and chop up dead trees. Watching the wood pile stack higher was incredibly rewarding and fun.
I have thought many times before how helpful ADHD can be. My curiosity is unending and the hyperfocus/flow state is like being high.
I've also thought about how hard ADHD can be in our modern society. Bums me out.
