When people ask “What’s the plan?” I usually respond with “Brother, I don't even have a pla.” But a court of law considers having a plan as “premeditated” which usually comes with a longer prison sentence so I guess it works out for the best.

Healing is not an addition, it is a subtraction. It is not something you gain but rather something you release.

A person drowning in a river may scream for rescue yet grip the stone pulling them under. He does not see that his struggle is against the current, but against themself. One can not be freed from suffering while still clutching the very chains that bind them.

If you are on the wrong side of history your “thank you” may have not been sincere, but my “ you're welcome” is.

Conservatives grew up in a house where they couldn't ride a bike because their parents were afraid their kids might hit a bump and lose their virginity. Didn't they?

You’re not “crazy.” There are absolutely people out there who get off on making you feel like garbage— and a subset of them will spike that “high” by getting close to you first to make it even more painful. That’s real. You’re not imagining that. It sucks. They suck.

Is there an app where teachers can explain the concepts to students and then the teachers can place bets on who's finishing where? And if there’s not an app yet… all rights reserved.

Random thought. If Rocky 4 were to be released today, 77 million Americans would be pro-Ivan Drago. Who knew? 🤷

A bus takes about a foot more room in the lane compared to a car. Yet when I sit in a bus I can put my feet up on the bench and have half a bus left to get to the other side. Yet in a car, I can open the passenger door. 🤷 where did all the extra space go? I didn't need to sleep tonight anyway.

It’s International Women's Day. ADHD is much harder for women. Diagnostic models look at male gendered surface characteristics which women will have masked due to societal pressures. Meaning many go undiagnosed and unsupported. Or unaware. Hormonal changes make it even harder to cope. 1/4

I often get asked “Matt. What’s your take on retirement?” So I tell them. “The day I retire is the morning I look out the window of my trailer down by the river just in time to see the mushroom cloud forming over the nearest major city.” If you think they want you to be able to retire…

At times it feels like the autism is an Excel spreadsheet and the ADHD is like a bunch of important cryptic messages written on random Post-its crumbled up in my pocket.

If you make $15 an hour that's enough to buy 3 bags of potato chips that only require 1/2 potatoes to make. So if you make $20 an hour you're making 2 potatoes! Or is my math wrong? 🤷

“I don’t know anyone with Long Covid!” I promise you that you do. Long Covid is an invisible illness. You won’t know someone is impacted unless they choose to tell you. Many folks hide their disabilities because the world is NOT kind to disabled people. Be an ally. Be someone we can confide in
