Tips for Reading with ADHD

iamthecutestofborg:

(or without ADHD, if they help regardless)

Physical print:

• cover the page with a piece of paper and reveal lines/paragraphs as you read them
• use a highlighter to emphasize important/interesting parts
• take notes as you go to be physically engaged with the material
  

Digital media:

• copy and paste the text into a doc/word processor
• change the font size/style/colour to something more legible
  
• make your own paragraphs and spacing
• copy and paste one paragraph at a time to isolate them from the distraction of the rest of the text
  
• install a browser extension like BeeLine Reader or Mercury Reader
• zoom in on the page and scroll slowly so you’re revealing lines as you read them
• physically cover the screen and reveal lines as you read them
• if you do better with physical media, print it out or find a physical copy
  

Both:

• read out loud
  

• pace, move around, or use a fidget while reading

• set a timer for 5 minutes and read in small chunks with breaks in between
  

• divide the material into sections and read one section at a time with breaks in between

• have another person, audio book, or text-to-speech program read it aloud as you follow along

saywhat-politics:

On the April 8 broadcast of Fox News Primetime, Carlson offered perhaps his most explicit justification yet for the core belief of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory: that a wave of “Third World” invaders is coming to replace you and reshape your environment, and that you, the audience, should do something about it.

The Fox News host claimed that “what’s true” is that “the Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World,” and no one should “sit back and take that.”

Tucker Carlson is and always has been a nazi

And he and the worthless oxygen thieving trash who support him are a fucking cancer upon the planet.

Tear gas fired every few minutes pushed many in the crowd away from the front of the building by around 9:30 p.m.

Soon after, law enforcement began advancing on the protesters and firing rubber bullets, CBS Minnesota’s Dave Schuman reported from the scene. At about the same time, the Brooklyn Center City Council voted to ban its officers from using rubber bullets and chemical irritants for crowd control.
