    Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it.
    - Dale Carnegie

    But please do sit home and stay safe for the time being.

    "yes, you can do this, but not like everyone else"-DissociaDID

    There a youtuber that does videos on living with DID and other mental health issues and that`s just a perfect quote for anyone living with any sort of mental health, executive function, or any sort of issue. Not a direct quote but there`s a part where she talks about, wanting to brute force through things with "I can do things like a normal person" mentally and how you can but you need to understand how yourself works or else it`ll backfire.

    Love this.

    These days, you could just tweet, "What an incredible shitshow," pretty much any time, without any context, and people would assume they knew what you were talking about, and that you probably weren't wrong.

    If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.

    Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

    How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and [how] hard it is to undo that work again!

    - Mark Twain

    Not to be confused with Homer the Inebriated... they can be difficult to tell apart. As for Homer the Hungover, he's considering going back to bed. Ain't like I have to go the work or anything.

    In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.

    The Wikipedia article on it is a pretty good example of the concept as well. :)
