Now they’re holding boxes of candy. They’re dropping Valentine’s cards and roses in every room while I sleep, moaning about how I need to change my ways.

Don’t Believe These ADHD “Facts” on TikTok

  1. There is not a magic fish that grants wishes only to those with ADHD. That fish will grant wishes to anyone who catches it.
  2. The magic fish doesn’t do ironic wish-granting. To the best of its ability, it will grant your request.
  3. The magic fish doesn’t really comprehend human language and will decide what you have wished based on “vibes.”
  4. Yes, you still get the wish, even if you put the fish back. Or don’t fish at all. Sorry. Good luck.

it’s wednesday

It’s Wednesday and we all know what that means! If you have any older family members who made ill-advised bargains with dark powers (despite telling you throughout your childhood not to do that), today’s the day to head over and visit.

And if they’re pinned to the ceiling in a pool of black bile, limbs twisting, cursing the Entity, be sure to get a broomstick and roll them over so the bile doesn’t have a chance to try and really stick ’em up there.
