Are you tired? Bored? On enough pain meds to incapitate a horse? May I recommend: The Bear Cams.
The Bear Cams are live steams from Katmai National Park in Alaska. There are 6 livecams, 3 highlight reels, and 1 meditation reel. There are live Q&As with park officials, a very dedicated comment section with people who can seemingly magically identify which bears are which, blogs, weather, etc.
But most importantly: Bears.
Bears!
Baby bear!
Bears!
…Fish? (Sometimes with bears.)
If you’re not interested in bears (who are, at the end of the day, bears and thus prone to eating salmon in gruesome ways and occasionally killing other bears), explore.org has a number of other livecams such as: turkeys, sheep, kittens, dogs, alligators, and jellyfish. But the bears are in peak season right now, and they have a fat bear competition later on in the year, so I highly recommend them.
I especially like the “zen cams” of sunsets or waterfalls and the like, very soothing.
A lot of them seem to be live 24/7, and some of the cams are a little occluded because of the natural life of being placed in a nest/being exposed to the elements (rain!). Sometimes, you might find one of the streams like I did (aurora borealis) and find it to be the opposite of the optimal time of day for that thing to be on stream.
It’s a lot of fun, and it’s got a lot of educational resources on the website as well. Have fun and… Explore!
either i’m ignorant of an entire section of articles or we seriously need more well done adhd studies that aren’t from like a sample size of 200 white boys that are like “Study Shows ADHD Students Have Issues Focusing in School” like no fucking shit dumbass can we have some actual research on things that Aren’t related to our grades and maybe things like, oh i don’t know, our emotional dysregulation or our higher risk of drug abuse or our developmental delay but no we get like fuckin. Doctor John Doe and his book on why adhd is a sham
also instead of having these baby boomer parents complaining about how meds are a Pliy Actually bc they’re abused by people without adhd who make a bad name for us, how about we look into WHY non adhd people (esp students in college) feel the need to use these meds and resources (hint: the school system is fucked and also see next point), why doctors are so lax in diagnosis, maybe some studies into the long term effects of adhd meds on the body esp the heart??? like can i get a good study??? can i PLEASE get a good study
