Finding out that ADHD can be connected with frequent headaches and migraines is honestly wild. You can spend years assuming you're simply dehydrated, stressed, tired, or unlucky, while several ADHD-related factors may be contributing at once—sleep being inconsistent, forgetting to eat properly, medication side effects, and everything else that comes with an unpredictable routine. Sometimes the headache isn't random. It's just another reminder that ADHD affects more than attention.

I once ran two simultaneous D&D games for two groups of friends with very little overlap. Neither group knew the other existed. The twist was that each group was taking part in a war between each others' kingdoms without knowing it. The choices Group A made informed what was going on in Group B's campaign, and vice versa. The finale brought them into the same room with no preamble, facing the architects of the conflict, figuring out in real time who they thought the real villains were.

When my sister was pregnant, her cat became completely obsessed with the baby. He could somehow tell whenever she moved or kicked, and every time he felt it, he’d curl up against my sister’s belly and start purring. When she went into labor, he wouldn’t leave her side. Every time she had a contraction, he’d meow and cry like he was trying to coach her through it. While they waited for the ambulance, he even put his paws against her side and gently rubbed her. Everyone was emotional watching him worry about her. When she finally came home from the hospital with my niece, he immediately fell in love. He’d snuggle beside the baby, sniff her hair, and make those little happy motor noises. Whenever she cried, he was right there, looking around like he needed to figure out how to help. If anyone touched the baby, he’d come running over like, “Excuse me, what exactly are you doing with MY child?” 😂 He’d even alert everyone whenever she woke up or started making little baby noises. That cat wasn’t just a pet. He was her best friend, protector, and furry big brother for 14 beautiful years. Love and miss you forever, Bud. ❤️🐾

I just heard that there are cars requiring a monthly subscription for things like “remote start” and “heated seats”. Please, what are these companies/brands so I can make sure I never even consider buying one?

I ASKED A WOMAN WHO HAS RUN A SCHOOL CAFETERIA FOR ELEVEN YEARS WHAT SHE SEES THAT PARENTS DO NOT. SHE SAID SHE CAN NAME THE STRUGGLING KIDS BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER AND SHE HAS NEVER MET ANY OF THEIR PARENTS. SHE GAVE ME SIX.

My dad called me at 11pm and said "Do chickens have ears?" I said "What?" He said "Your mother and I have been arguing for two hours. Do chickens have ears." I googled it. They do, apparently they're just holes covered by feathers. I told him this. He was silent for a long time and then said "Your mother is going to be unbearable about this." Then he hung up. The next day my mom texted me a photo of a cake she made that just says "I WAS RIGHT" in frosting. My dad responded to the family group chat with "The chicken thing is still developing." It's been three weeks. My mom brings it up daily. She's introduced herself to strangers as "the woman who won the chicken ear debate of 2024." My dad has started saying "allegedly" after everything she says. I've created a monster. Two monsters, technically.

I got a call from a number I didn’t recognize. A man asked, “Are you still taking the same route home every evening?” I immediately hung up. A minute later, he called again. This time he said, “I’m not trying to scare you. I just need you to stop at the bookstore before you go home.” I almost ignored him, but something made me listen. I stopped at the bookstore and asked the cashier if anyone had left something for me. She looked confused, then reached underneath the counter and pulled out a small envelope with my name on it. Inside was a single sentence: “You once did something for me. You probably don’t remember.”
