@hanspetermeyer@mstdn.ca After an entire career of remaining engaged in meetings by taking handwritten notes, I vote YES on the value of learning cursive handwriting. This is despite that fact that I returned to read those notes infrequently. #ADHD

@billyjoebowers@mastodon.online Since support for the Trump administration is close to unanimous among American CEOs and business owners, boycotting specific companies is of limited usefulness. Cutting personal spending, especially by those of us who have some discretionary income, is essential.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/116542479358907386 I&#39;ve never told my parents or my siblings the extent of mental health issues I&#39;ve had over the years, including ADHD treated with stimulant drugs. Given that my brother expressed disbelief after hearing about a 60 year old co-worker being on prescribed Adderall, that appears to have been a sound decision.
