Literally every part of this thread, and then some.

My #ADHD means that my emotions may go from 0 to 60 in a second. My anger can flare up and I will shoot my mouth off. There is no "stop, breathe, think" because my brain does not let me. It means that I doubt every interaction.

I doubt my memory, or lack thereof. I doubt my perspective of relationships.

I struggle to try new hobbies, because I'm afraid of failure. I struggle to start projects, because I know how hard it is to finish them.

NOPE! Here's why libraries switching over to near 100% ebooks is not only a bad idea, but can't possibly happen in the near future: 1) The digital divide is real. There are many areas that still have poor internet service, and countless individuals who cannot afford a device to read digital items on.

Some people aren't comfortable with the technology. Some don't want to learn to use it.

Had a librarian first today, and wouldn't mind some feedback from the #librarytwitter hivemind.

She says that a man told her that she coud pay $59 online and get it certified, then she could take him to hotels and such. 2/
