    Bagel Bite #38: Tea Towel Season

    This episode we’re getting a stern talking to, and frankly, we deserve it. We’re reading your write-ins and poll results regarding the role you’d play in the moon landing, how wrong we are about tea towels, and what commercials you’re watching around the world.    Plus, Kristin loves a good mush and keeps laughin’ and livin’ off lentils, Grace is rich in cabinet space and continues to beat a dead horse train, we take on bagel scoopers and ask the hard questions about scones, and more.    Whether you’re a humble leader a la Neil,  a ‘hang back in case of alien booby traps’ Buzz, or you’d prefer to step off the ship holding hands together, you’ll find something here for you in this intergalactic Bagel Bite.

    Ep. 99: Fleetwood Mac Love Parallelogram

    Crank up those speakers and wriggle into your bell bottoms, because things are getting funky as Kristin takes us through the music history of Fleetwood Mac.    This episode she’s Informatively Infodumping about the many trials, tribulations, and love parallelograms of her favorite band. While we can’t legally play their music on this podcast, our personal interpretations of each song will give the illusion of being live in studio with Stevie herself.   We’re also inventing a Business Someone Should Start that turns drunks into the secret messengers of our society, building community in the women’s bathroom, instilling fear in coworkers over donut rules, sharing legitimately traumatizing Squirrel Trauma, and just generally being ungovernable.

    Lace up your moon boots and don’t forget the freeze-dried ice creams, because we’re about to blast off into uncharted territory and you never know when you’ll need a little frozen sweet treat to accompany the overwhelming vastness of outer space.    Just like the moon landing, we’re getting way off course this episode as we share our current verbal stims in This is Who I Am Now: Echolalia Edition, invent a business that’s like Trading Spaces but for unfinished house tasks in Businesses Someone Should Start, Informatively Infodump about what happens when non-ADHDers take stimulant medications, and struggle with social rules at the dentist in our Alternative Segment, Things That Are Embarrassing for No Reason.   Resources  Ritalin Can Make it Hard to Focus if You Don't Have ADHD (healthline.com) Not so smart? “Smart” drugs increase the level but decrease the quality of cognitive effort | Science Advances   Visit our website: weirdsofafeather.com  Become a Patreon member: patreon.com/weirdsofafeather  Find us on Instagram: @weirdsofafeather  Join our Facebook group: Weirds of a Feather To keep this horse train running (but this isn’t a threat): ko-fi.com/weirdsofafeather

    Turn off the overhead lights and be sure not to wrinkle the bedsheets, because our friend and #1 fan, Judy, is sitting down with us on the plush carpets of Pod Loft 3.0 to share her story, and you just know she has some very specific sensory requirements.    In Part 1 Judy is divulging how a comment from an esthetician led her to an ADHD diagnosis, how our podcast encouraged her to seek out the additional diagnoses of auditory processing disorder and autism (brag brag brag), all the ways developing a deeper understanding of herself has strengthened her relationships with her wife and son, how her AuDHD creativity has led to her career as an artist, and so much more.
