  • Oh fuck adhd without autopilot must suck ass, it’s my only escape sometimes. Really feeling for you. Are you on medication? I would try medication ASAP, ritalin, vyvanse whatever. Legally is ofcourse easiest if possible. Otherwise if you have a campus near, try befriending some people there, they very much are students drugs. Caffeine can be a huge help too or huge burden so either take loads more or cut it depending on what your taking. You can get a good dosage going with a morning coffee and then keep it up with black tea for instance. There also are caffeine pills of course if you need to dose without tea throughout the day.

    Ultimately that feeling of having to concentrate “through your thoughts” are your nervecells pumping dopamine in every direction. If you get a sluggish feeling like your thoughts are stuck in mud and youre thinking feels like wading through water that’s your nerve cells no longer having sufficient dopamine to think. There is jack shit you can do about that it fucking sucks ass. This is not a failure on your end, your nerves had to “burn” dopamine like a coaltrain going uphill and now there simply is none left. I don’t know how I survived before taking medication and I hope I never have to find out.

    Also be mindful of alcohol, cut it if you are taking any. The effect is way longer lasting than the buzz, the buzz is an increased dopamine release, but this needs to be replenished which for adhd people like us, who already need to be mindful of their dopamine levels can kill the entire day after dead even if we’re not “hungover”.





  • I have never had a babyeater not immediately start crying about “the nasty vegans who will never convert anyone with this kind of language 😭😭😭” when there was a clapback. You lot act like we can’t take shitposting but you just rehash the same 3 jokes or so and whine about obnoxious, judgemental vegans the moment the teenciest bit of fire returned. Must be all that cowmom milk that got you acting like babies 🤷






  • I should note, although it’s not directly relevant to your point, that “people who eat vegetables (instead of meat)” are also called vegetarian. The precise degree to which oppression of animals is tolerable was a contencious debate among vegetarians, which led to the creation of “The Vegan Society” to rally those that argued for “no oppression at all”. So even though dairy and egg farming require animal murder (to deal with the newborns considered a “byproduct”) vegetarians don’t object to those.

    Vegans however take the idea that animals are thinking, feeling creatures to its logical conclusion and will argue for no animal products anywhere. No leather, no beeswax, no brushes with animal hair, no trips to the zoo, no pets and so on. It’s very much not just the diet, although that is of course a huge part of it.




  • The point behind not using “nonvegan” is that it frames carnists as "the normal"s and the “vegans” as the one who have “something special” going on. This is true with celiac and nonceliac, lactose intolerant and not lactose intolerant. But we argue that veganism, i.e. not killing if unnecessary, is the normal thing to do. That the only reason it doesn’t seem that way is because it got normalized through repetition and how widespread it is.

    Nobody is asking to stop the torture of dairy cows &c. other than vegans either so I don’t understand why you think the point in your edit matters.The point in demonstrating for societal change is precisely doing stuff others aren’t asking for.



  • Carnist is a description of someone who has a meat-inclusive diet, other descriptions of people by what they can or cannot eat are e.g. vegan, lactose intolerant, celiac… It’s not a “name” you call someone, it’s a description of someone using a certain aspect of them relevant to the discussion.

    A “name”, as in, something used to insult would be e.g. corpsemuncher, bloodmouth, cheesebreth &c.
