Joke’s on him, without my ADHD meds I can’t labor for shit.

Reposted from Edward Nirenberg

Also worth noting that RFK Jr previously expressed a desire to send people with ADHD to labor camps

He must secretly be Pol Pot's long-lost brother, Tin.

Current sustaining fantasy:

The guy dies of brucellosis after giving himself a raw milk and ivermekt1n enema to fight a case of Avian flu.

I never thot I’d miss the person who injected apple juice into her bloodstream

“Direct nutrients”
….she said

profbeeman.bsky.social•61 days ago

The cruel irony of sending ADHD people to *concentration* camps... 😔

lxv.bsky.social•60 days ago

That's right up there with the warning on the medication bottle: May be habit forming

GOD I WISH

darthsnugglebunny.bsky.social•61 days ago

You and every other person with ADHD I know. This is why y'all take the meds in the first place.

katriddell.bsky.social•61 days ago

Take a bunch of unmedicated ADHDers and put them outside where the cool looking bugs live, great plan.

zmcadler.bsky.social•61 days ago

Not to mention all the cool looking birds!!!

jadehawk.bsky.social•61 days ago

and the cool weeds

shaggycritter.bsky.social•61 days ago

A lot of naturalist work will get done, at least. I doubt that's what RFK wants.

jadehawk.bsky.social•61 days ago

i mean yeah but have you seen what my notes look like *lolsob*

carlosariza.bsky.social•61 days ago

Did you say birds? I saw a juvenile cardinal today. Maybe we'll see wrens tomorrow!

zmcadler.bsky.social•61 days ago

NICE. What kind of wrens do you have near you? We get Carolina Wrens, they’re so cute (and loud!!)

carlosariza.bsky.social•61 days ago

Yup, Carolina Wrens! Also chickadees and tufted titmice. This time of year we also get a bunch of great crested flycatchers and northern parulas :)

ulidig.bsky.social•61 days ago

Don't forget the cool looking rocks!

plantqueen.bsky.social•61 days ago

Ooh and rocks!

alicemcole.bsky.social•61 days ago

Clouds! I’ll watch the clouds!

mom23yags.bsky.social•59 days ago

Crazy!

zmcadler.bsky.social•61 days ago

And without my anxiety meds I’m going to be too scared to leave the bunk

briesmith.xyz•61 days ago

It's OK, he's going to send everyone to camps to learn how to concentrate. At least I assume that's what they mean when they keep talking about "concentration camps"

erikdeleo.bsky.social•61 days ago

How can a former heroin addict be humping eugenics so authoritatively?

miriparhelion.bsky.social•61 days ago

Because in his self-aggrandizing world-view, he quit the hard way instead of dying, continuing to use, or quitting with medical support. He allegedly mocked younger relatives he introduced to drugs who weren't able to stop using, some of whom died.

penpaladin.bsky.social•61 days ago

While horrific and bad and baffling and many other adjectives … a labor camp full of ADHD folk off their meds would also be hilarious. NOTHING would get done. Nothing at all. At least nothing they set up as an actual goal.

heyacordeiro.bsky.social•61 days ago

Like herding cats - except throw in a side of ODD 😂

penpaladin.bsky.social•61 days ago

The best that could come out of it is a few more people saying “No really, they need their meds.”

bubbayaga.bsky.social•61 days ago

Like A LOTTA LOT of ODD.

heyacordeiro.bsky.social•61 days ago

And I think typical folks underestimate the level of feeling behind the instant rage, violence and punch-u-in-the-throat pettiness that ODD entails, and that it manifests as an adrenaline fueled physical reaction which is rarely seen outside of old ladies who lift Cadillacs off puppies

bubbayaga.bsky.social•61 days ago

Mine manifests as spite and malicious compliance.

heyacordeiro.bsky.social•60 days ago

Malicious compliance is a thing of beauty

ltimonin.bsky.social•60 days ago

I can get stuff done without meds. I didn't get dx til late.
Also I am currently having massive med/genomics conflicts.

Alas I can only do stuff for 2-3 hours at a go before I wander off.

Fortunately for my bunkies, it's usually cooking!

antelopecat.bsky.social•61 days ago

I’m so tired of people thinking that brains are completely different from the rest of your body. Is he going to send people with high blood pressure to a camp to learn to reduce the HBP by force of will? Take off casts and splints so people can regrow bones the old-fashioned way? 1/

antelopecat.bsky.social•61 days ago

Just like other parts of our bodies need medications or other medical assistance sometimes, so do our brains. Because they’re a part of our bodies too.

leahjaclyn.bsky.social•61 days ago

absolutely would be useless, but probably would annoy the guards to death.

harveyknight.bsky.social•61 days ago

"Build a car! No you don't get to have music or coffee or - did you just assemble a functioning fidget spinner out of scrap metal? I told you to make a car!"

harveyknight.bsky.social•61 days ago

In college I put off an important assignment because I'd found a really interesting documentary about pteradons.

carlosariza.bsky.social•61 days ago

Relatable. Would love a link if you have it!

harveyknight.bsky.social•61 days ago

Unfortunately this was over a decade ago, so any links are long gone

praisetheteapot.bsky.social•60 days ago

The page might be gone, but if you still have the link itself you can just feed it into the @waybackmachine.bsky.social and see the old content!

starklyjd.bsky.social•61 days ago

That sounds awesome.

squidak.bsky.social•61 days ago

I have been unsuccessful in learning more about how we changed our understanding from their perching in trees to the newer terrifying elbow-walkers.

lostservice22.bsky.social•61 days ago

Right? I will cause a catastrophe in any work setting.

Is he not aware of Glorious Leader's fetish?

gkcc1.bsky.social•61 days ago

The FSA Fascist States of America is the new name we on this side of the pond are giving to the since great USA, so sad to see it fall so far.

tawnyfritz.bsky.social•61 days ago

The amount of Nothing I can get done when unmedicated is quite impressive.

vexisidhe.bsky.social•61 days ago

I remember when he first said that shit, my first reaction was "oh shit my meds," and my second reaction was that all it would take is one bipolar girlie entering a deeply focused manic phase without her meds to end his life so probably it wouldn't last long.

wombat-ee.bsky.social•60 days ago

I currently pay a fuckload of taxes because medication made my brain work well enough to get through college and become a functioning member of society. Isn't that what he wants? Taxpayers?

dennismpowers.bsky.social•61 days ago

This brainworm-addled waste of air is going to get people killed.

goldencoyote.bsky.social•61 days ago

That's the point.

That's the whole point.

cat-appreciator.bsky.social•61 days ago

He already has (caused a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed a lot of kids)

kristalerista.bsky.social•60 days ago

My guess is it’s more about separating us from society than the labor. But as long as there’s at least 1% extroverts, we’ll make our own society.

I’m pretty sure most of bluesky is nd.

See y’all at the labor camps!
