    @AncTreat5358@mindly.social @autistics @actuallyadhd It used to be that poetry did basically zero for me. It was all about music and while sometimes the lyrics spoke to me, they rarely did. Then, I met some really excellent poets who performed their work and it clicked. &amp;quot;Oh. Good poetry does exist its just buried in junk.&amp;quot; Reading poetry feels like reading a musical score, like sure you can do it but why? I want to see a performance. Rhymes do nothing for me on their own. I...

    @maikel@vmst.io @actuallyadhd There is no board that certifies &amp;quot;ADHD Coaches&amp;quot;. If you wanted to be an ADHD Coach all you need to do is post an ad. Now, that doesn&amp;#39;t mean this course can&amp;#39;t help you be better at coaching, but to me it looks like a grift designed to target people who assume there is an oversight committee. Something I learned recently, there are very few oversight committees. A lot of things in this world that seem gatekept by some course or ce...

    @maikel@vmst.io @actuallyadhd For context: I&amp;#39;m a guitar tech. There are a litany of courses, classes, and instruction I could undertake. I could get certified by 10 schools if I wanted. Do you know what makes me a guitar tech? Me. Because I say so. I learned what I need to learn. There is no organization, no board, no oversight, just schools that sell their services and make it look more official by printing you a &amp;quot;certification&amp;quot;. That&amp;#39;s what this ADHD schoo...

    @venya I know a small army of left handed people that all play right handed guitar. In the case of your student, it might not be any more difficult for them to play the same instruments and use the same instruction as everybody else. My best guitar instructor was left handed, he said the best thing HIS guitar teacher ever did was convince him to play right handed. Cheaper instruments, ability to borrow an instrument, and instructional materials were all cited reasons.

    @BigTittyBimbo@kolektiva.social I&amp;#39;m struggling to see a scenario in which an anarchist and a nationalist have a common goal large enough to cooperate that won&amp;#39;t end up conflicting with either ideology in the future. I can&amp;#39;t see a world where they aren&amp;#39;t mutually exclusive.

    @BigTittyBimbo@kolektiva.social I just don&amp;#39;t see a scenario that&amp;#39;s a net positive. Like, what would they do together that would benefit both without advancing either cause? And let&amp;#39;s suppose the nationalists come to a group of anarchists and say &amp;quot;we want to build a soup kitchen&amp;quot;. Frankly, I still don&amp;#39;t think I&amp;#39;d work with them, for the same reason I won&amp;#39;t volunteer at churches; I&amp;#39;m not helping them whitewash their imag...

    @BigTittyBimbo@kolektiva.social It&amp;#39;s like debating creationists. You&amp;#39;re just giving them credence.

    @BigTittyBimbo@kolektiva.social If somebody wants to come in and smash the US to pieces why would I stop them? The government needs to be stopped. They&amp;#39;d be doing exactly what I want.

    @hanscees https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/electric-guitars/fender-tom-morello-arm-the-homeless-guitar At the very bottom: &amp;quot;As per the guitarist’s other signature gear releases, proceeds from sales of Arm the Homeless will go to charity organizations Midnight Mission and Covenant House, which help those experiencing homelessness.&amp;quot;
