Apparently there's an #ADHDAwarenessMonth, so here's something most people may not know about "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder."

First things first. "Attention deficit" is a misnomer. Yes, I have a deficit of attention at times. One might argue all the time. But... ...people think that means I can't pay attention to everything. Au contraire mon capitan. I can pay attention to one thing for hours and hours. That said, it is at the expense of attention to anything and everything else. Need to listen to someone? Nope. Need to eat? Nope.

@TylerK93 I recommend this thread. There's another I'm trying to find, too. Here you go. This is why people like me, who are high risk, can't get vaccines in their own county.

I don't stand for a piece of cloth, nor do I unquestioningly pledge my allegiance to a state. I believe in accountability. I believe in government being able to do both right and wrong. I don't give fealty to a person or nation. For those wondering, it's been probably 25 years since I said the Pledge of Allegiance. I will stand, I will put my hand over my heart, and I will be respectful in my silence, just as I am when people pray aloud. But I will not pledge my fealty to the flag or my nation.

So...I'll address what the question was about in a thread here, but...anyone notice how the QUESTION was commented on, not the reporter that asked it? And then the question was STILL ANSWERED. Finally we have a competent @PressSec. Okay, onto my thoughts re opening schools. I know that part of the issue with parents returning to work is students returning to their socialized daycare (cough...I mean schools). I also know that a lot of kids will do better in a classroom environment than at home. I would have been one of them if I were school-age now.

I quit my job today and started a Twitter account for my cat (@KCPuppyCat). Why is going to take some time to explain. At least on the first count, anyway. Puppy deserves his own Twitter. But the job is about #a11y(accessibility) & a company with zero respect for their employees. No, I'm not going to name the company. Suffice it to say they are in healthcare and provide customer service and other things related to benefits offered by other companies. They're kind of a middle man, controlled quite a few government regulations. There's lots of those around.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and probably upset some people. A thread.

If you're telling people that "Jesus is the reason for the season," I can't tell you to stop, but I can tell you that you're wrong. The Christian "Christmas" was co-opted from pagan traditions.
1/11 It only became about Jesus later, at least 400 years after his birth - but it had been celebrated in many places for a very long time before that as the winter solstice. Yes, the pagans had Christmas before the Christians did.
