**It is recommended that you use a VPN when you access TankieTube to protect your anonymity because your IP may be accessible to others while using the site** It's happening!! There is now a TankieTube channel that has started up which is dedicated to posting audiobooks for people who are neurodivergent. This book is a real favourite with neurodivergent folks, especially if you struggle with energy, motivation, and executive dysfunction. The title says it all. The book is quite short and it's divided up into succinct chapters so you don't have to dedicate hours upon hours to slog through it, especially if you happen to be struggling with finding enough time and energy to manage the basics. Here's a summary of the book from the publisher: >When you are neurodivergent, have undiagnosed ADHD or are struggling with your mental or physical health, keeping on top of the laundry pile and tackling dishes in the sink can feel like climbing a mountain. But it doesn’t have to be that way. > >Licensed therapist KC Davis has been there. Having relearnt the basics of self-care after an adult diagnosis of ADHD, she is here to revolutionise the way you look after your home and your mind. This gentle guide to staying afloat when life is tough shares practical strategies to create a functional home, make your space work for you rather than against you, and treat yourself with more compassion and kindness. > >KC’s philosophy: good enough is perfect. With her help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. KC Davis appears on social media here and there so if you want more advice from her then it's worth checking to see if she has an account on your platforms of choice. Supporting her in this way will help her reach a broader audience so even if you can't afford to support her work by purchasing it yourself, you can still contribute something back by helping to raise her profile in the media by following her if you find her advice helpful. **Note that as of posting this audiobook is still in the TankieTube transcription queue so if you encounter any bugs or glitches then give it a while and try coming back to it a bit later** (It is working on my end but ymmv)

[Audiobook] Collapse: The Fall of the Soviet Union by Vladislav Zubok (23 hours 50 mins)

tankie.tube

**Publishers summary:** A major study of the collapse of the Soviet Union - showing how Gorbachev's misguided reforms led to its demise In 1945, the Soviet Union controlled half of Europe and was a founding member of the United Nations. By 1991, it had an army four million strong, 5,000 nuclear-tipped missiles, and was the second biggest producer of oil in the world. But soon afterward, the union sank into an economic crisis and was torn apart by nationalist separatism. Its collapse was one of the seismic shifts of the 20th century. Thirty years on, Vladislav Zubok offers a major reinterpretation of the final years of the USSR, refuting the notion that the breakup of the Soviet order was inevitable. Instead, Zubok reveals how Gorbachev's misguided reforms, intended to modernize and democratize the Soviet Union, deprived the government of resources and empowered separatism. Collapse sheds new light on Russian democratic populism, the Baltic struggle for independence, and the crisis of Soviet finances.

Red Elvis: The Cold War Cowboy (2022) [1:28:29]

tankie.tube

**Reminder that it is recommended to use a proxy when accessing TankieTube** The extraordinary forgotten story of an American pop star who defected to the Soviet Bloc and became a superstar. From the 1960s until the collapse of Communism, the most famous musician in the Soviet Bloc is not Elvis Presley, John Lennon, or a Communist Party official. It’s a U.S. born, former teen idol from Denver named Dean Reed. In the Eastern Bloc, Dean sells out stadiums, preaches Marxism and inspires a generation. Along the way he plots revolution with Che Guevara, talks poetry with Pablo Neruda, and is lauded by Nikita Khrushchev. For the top brass, he’s a propaganda coup; for the Communist youth, he’s their Red Elvis… until his body is found floating in a lake in East Berlin, dead at age 47. Featuring exclusive interviews with Dean’s friends and family, access to previously sealed government documents, and a treasure trove of never-before-released film and music, Red Elvis: The Cold War Cowboy is the story of a wild and changing world. Through the prism of Dean’s life, we witness a global youth rebellion, revolutions in popular music, and the shifting tectonics of superpower rivalry. But at its heart, Red Elvis is a deeply personal story of a man desperately searching for his role in this unpredictable world.

TankieTube accessible on Android via GrayJay app

He'll yeah my siblings!! So you might have heard of [Grayjay](https://grayjay.app/) already, but it's a multi-source video app that creates a hybrid feed from all sorts of places. Think like YouTube+SoundCloud+BilliBilli+Twitch+Patreon. It's still in early-ish development but it's quite stable and it's not too buggy. The intent of the app is to allow you to follow creators without being stuck in a walled garden, or at least not one solitary walled garden anyway. Good if want to have a feed that includes sources from YouTube but also, say, Odysee so you can keep up with Red. given that Blinken just got them banned from YouTube. But the coolest thing is that it also supports PeerTube instances so you can now watch videos and follow channels on that PeerTube instance. Unfortunately their native plugin generators is buggy and won't work right but there's a workaround: Once you've got Grayjay installed on your device, in your browser head to: https://grayjay-peertube.github.io/  Click "Generate QR Code"  In the popup window, enter tankie.tube and click Generate QR Code  Click Open in Grayjay  It will open Grayjay and then all you have to do is to click install and you're done! Remember to go in the Grayjay app and click More on the bottom bar, then Sources, ensure that the TankieTube plugin is enabled in the list of sources and open it to toggle the Visibility settings so that you will see TankieTube content where you want - on the homescreen and in the search, depending on your personal preference.

Hey folks, This one isn't for me and it's for a person who I am not affiliated with beyond following them on social media. The person seeking donations is a comrade and a father who has recently been laid off. Due to them having an old criminal record, they have had zero luck finding a new job because as soon as it gets to the stage where the employer doing a background check, their criminal record comes up and because of that any job offer gets withdrawn. They are looking for financial assistance so they can get their record sealed in order to get a job and provide for their family. [Here's the video of them explaining their situation](https://files.catbox.moe/auuxoz.mp4). There is also information about the fundraising campaign on the linked GoFundMe page. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Suggestions for end-of-year hampers for kids?

I'm planning to conspire with maybe a couple of other volunteers at my local mutual aid org to put together some end-of-year present hampers aimed towards kids. This will be intended for children who are homeless or facing serious poverty so they can have some nice things like other kids get to have at Christmas time (I'm in a culturally Christian country so it's the big annual gift-giving celebration here.) Do you have any suggestions for what could be good to include? Obviously I'm looking for lower cost items so that we can stretch our money as far as we can and I'm looking for ideas for things that are more oriented towards enjoyable gifts over giving a kid more mundane items like socks and writing pads. My plan at the moment is to do two age brackets, with one set of hampers being aimed at a <10yo bracket and another that is >10yo, approximately. Any hot ideas for stocking filler/secret santa style gifts for kids?

This isn't directed at anyone here, I've just been hitting my head against a wall of willful ignorance and lateral ableism elsewhere and it's frustrating as hell. Nonverbal isn't even the preferred term as it's a misnomer and it denies the fact that most non-speaking individuals have words, it's just about not having the ability to speak those words. The clinical term for a person who cannot speak temporarily due to circumstances like being overstimulated or due to being anxious is selective mutism. You might hate the term and you're well within your rights to. I don't like it at all personally and I think that verbal shutdown is a better term. But that's a battle for the people like me, who experience verbal shutdowns, to wage in mainstream discourse. What isn't okay is colonising the term "nonverbal" as this causes major problems for the non-speaking community because it promotes the false notion that nonverbal people can speak but they just aren't able to in particular moments. This makes accessibility much harder and it makes advocating for accommodations far harder as people in the community without disability will develop a fundamentally incorrect understanding of the needs of non-speaking individuals. As an analogy, imagine if the accommodations for wheelchair users was based purely around the needs of people who aren't permanent wheelchair users and so the expectation becomes that things like toilet stalls, steps, and small amounts of walking are manageable for all wheelchair users without any adaptations or alternatives so therefore all of the accommodations of wheelchair users are only suitable for people who use wheelchairs part-time and who are capable of some amount of walking at any given moment - this would be extremely harmful to accessibility and to the wheelchair using community. In a similar sense, a person who experiences selective mutism and refers to it as "going nonverbal" can directly impact accessibility and accommodations negatively as it advances the concept that a non-speaking person just needs a little bit of time or a less overwhelming environment to speak rather than requiring the use of sign language or AAC. The higher needs autistic community has been trying very hard to get people to understand why it's important to avoid the use of the term nonverbal/non-speaking except where it's accurate to do so but, unfortunately, the higher needs autistic community gets routinely overlooked and ignored. I've just been trying to tell some people that they are misusing the term nonverbal, gently but firmly at first, and instead of taking this as a cue to do the basic research or to listen to leaders in the disability advocacy community who talk about being non-speaking and all of the issues around it, instead they are just digging their heels in and refusing to listen or even to just go and spend two minutes on the Wikipedia entry for selective mutism because they feel like their honour is at stake and that they must defend their claim over the use of the term nonverbal against all who threaten it. Online discourse often frustrates the hell out of me. I'm polite and respectful unless someone is being intentionally disrespectful so it's not like I'm just yelling "*You're wrong and stupid and evil!!*" at a random person online but some people just refuse accountability and self-crit, and I lose patience with this because no amount of explaining the fact, quoting relevant information, or describing the negative consequences for others due to these actions is sufficient because some people's top priority is their ego and they just want to be free from genuine, good-faith constructive feedback. Anyway, rant over. Just try to keep in mind that the terms nonverbal and nonspeaking are intentionally specific out of necessity and try to remember to use a term like selective mutism or verbal shutdown when you're describing the intermittent phenomenon of losing your ability to articulate your words. It would mean a lot to me if you do and I know it means even more to the non-speaking community – this is one small way to act in solidarity with the disability community.

Preparing for an ADHD assessment is a big task. Here's some things that I'd recommend sorting out to get the best outcomes: * Complete ADHD screening test(s), make special note of things that you struggle with or that you have strategies to compensate for. [This one is a fine place to start with screening tests](https://embrace-autism.com/asrs-v1-1/), scroll down to get to the questionnaire itself. * Any prior diagnoses, even ones that have been later ruled out and provisional diagnoses. * A general history of the psychiatric medications that you have taken and how you have responded to each. * School reports or a summary of how you performed in school, especially if it comes from family members - general trends, key themes that appeared repeatedly especially regarding "needs to apply themselves more", "is often distracted/distracts others", "is held back by being disorganised", "performs well in class but rarely completes homework", "struggles with time-management", "always leaves things to the last minute", "engages well when interested in the topic but refuses to engage with anything they find boring or tedious", along with anything to do with behavioural and emotional problems. * Any learning difficulties or developmental delays, any unusual childhood assessments that you underwent even if you don't know what it was measuring or the outcome of it, being put in any remedial classes or alternative education streams. * Informal statements or reports from the people close to you - friends, partners, family, even managers if you're on good terms with them. Make special note of if certain people have been nagging you about the possibility of being ADHD or a diagnosed ADHDer basically outright telling you "*Bro, you got the ADHD - you realise this don't you?*". Doesn't need to be a written letter of introduction, but just a collection of impressions from the people around you based on what they have observed. You might consider polling them and asking if they think you might have ADHD and relaying their responses to the doctor. * Anything that therapists have remarked upon to you that is contributing evidence for possible ADHD. * (Optional, depends on your relationship with the doctor in question) Your experience with consuming street drugs that are stimulants. This includes MDMA. If possible, pay particular attention to your ability to focus, your level of motivation, and your internal experience of being distracted etc. This can be a little bit dicey because you don't want to come off as drug-seeking but if you have an open-minded doctor or one that knows you well then you're probably alright to level with them about this. * Similar caveat to the above, make note of any difficulties with addiction or impulse control (binge eating, problematic impulse shopping, gambling, gaming, alcohol and other drugs etc.) even if it's sub-clinical, so for example you might not be a diagnosable sex addict but you know that you compulsively seek sexual gratification in a way that interferes with your relationships or your employment and in a way that is notably outside of what is typical for others. * How you function without caffeine. * Your coping strategies, such has having a bag you always carry with you which contains everything you could possibly need - food, an umbrella, spare medication, etc. because otherwise you will be unprepared and you'll forget everything. Or it might be having strategic caches of meds at your parents' house, your partner's house, your work desk etc. because you always forget to take your meds and to bring them with you. Or it might be a complete dependence upon an electronic calendar and alarms to tell you what you're supposed to be doing and when but without this your life would immediately collapse. That sort of thing. * Spending time thinking about what you were like as a child, especially compared to your peers. This works best if you can talk it through with someone who knew you as a child such as a close school friend or especially a caregiver. Try to piece together if there were any things that you particularly struggled with or where you were behind compared to your peers. * Developing a holistic understanding of the particular symptoms that make you suspect ADHD and how they present. If you have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, for example, it can resemble ADHD in a lot of ways but if you can clearly remember struggling with focus and motivation as a persistent theme in your life prior to being depressed, this is crucial info. Or if you struggle with anxiety, do you find that even at home when you are calm and settled that your ability to focus or remember where you put things is still impaired, indicating that your ability to focus cannot be attributed exclusively to the anxiety? * Write everything down, collate hard copy evidence if you can (an ADHD screening test, medical reports, school reports etc.), and make sure that you take all of this info, including personal experiences and anecdotes, that you've brought together to the doctor so that you don't miss anything. If possible, make something like a bullet point list with prompts for all the critical bits of information you want to present to the doctor so you don't overlook anything and to help keep you on track. Some words of advice: * You don't need to get all of this together in order to be prepared for an ADHD assessment. Don't feel like you have to achieve every one of these things above, this is just the example of what someone would have prepared in a perfect world situation. Do your best, don't let the list become a barrier to seeking a diagnosis because it's really just advice and guidelines. Seek support from someone close to you to help you with this if it feels a bit overwhelming. * Tell your doctor that you asked a peer worker who is diagnosed with ADHD for their advice on how to prepare for an ADHD diagnosis, which is why you are so organised. * Give the doctor your honest assessment of how difficult it was to get this together and what your experience would be if you didn't have this structure and advice while pursuing an ADHD diagnosis. * Be prepared for them to want to eliminate other potential causes of ADHD-like symptoms, especially depression and anxiety and bipolar, before they are willing to progress to considering ADHD. * Know that there are non-stimulant meds that can treat ADHD symptoms so if you come away from your appointment disappointed that instead of an ADHD diagnosis you have a prescription for some antidepressant like venlafaxine or bupropion, keep in mind that your doctor might be using this as a diagnostic probe to get a clearer picture of your symptoms and how you respond to meds. It's best to play ball, unless the doctor really shows a complete lack of interest in even considering ADHD, because they might be approaching an ADHD diagnosis with due caution and skepticism. * ADHD suffers from a lack of understanding, even amongst psychiatrists, especially in adults with late-diagnosis and if you're AFAB or a person of colour then your experience of ADHD is much more likely to fall outside the stereotyped understanding of ADHD, so you may find yourself pushing shit uphill. That's just how it is and it sucks but be prepared to seek a second opinion or to ask for a referral to specialist doctors or clinics for a more comprehensive ADHD assessment by people who know what they're dealing with when it comes to ADHD.

I know I spend a lot of time talking about autism and ADHD in this comm so I wanted to make an effort to spread the focus a little and talk about how PTSD and ADHD can feel very similar and where symptoms can overlap, with a focus on PTSD and the internal experience of it. In talking about PTSD there's necessarily going to be a big [**CW: Discussions of trauma and abuse, mostly from an abstract perspective or an internal experience**] I'm going to rely a lot on this fight/flight/freeze/flag/faint curve. This isn't perfect and it's not definitive but it'll do:  It's worth noting that this is the typical curve but you may not find that you progress linearly through the spectrum, you may cycle very quickly through the first stages or you might just instantly switch to one of the latter phases. This is not uncommon at all. So with PTSD it's really common to experience hypervigilance. This is when you are in a state where your mind goes into threat-detection mode and you become extremely attuned to your environment, often to the expense of other considerations including things like your biological needs. Hypervigilance is closely associated with the fright part of that curve diagram but it also happens in the freeze, fight and flight parts too. This experience of hypervigilance might be for 10 minutes, it might be for days. Hypervigilance associated with PTSD grips you like a vice. For me it feels like my sense of time recedes as I become so acutely aware of every little sound, every little change in my environment that nothing else even registers as a concern. Hypervigilance is usually triggered by external environment - a door slamming, a car backfiring, a person yelling or screaming. But it can also be triggered by internal experiences emotional states or thought patterns or recalling memories, especially in cases of CPTSD. Hypervigilance can look a lot like ADHD inattentiveness because your ability to regulate and direct your attention is overridden by a survival and self protection instinct. You might be in the middle of a conversation and notice a person out of the corner of your eye who resembles an abuser and suddenly it feels like you've zoned out completely. Or maybe it sounds like someone is walking up behind you and your brain immediately devotes all of its attention away from what someone is saying to you and towards detecting and responding to this potential threat that is approaching. Dissociation is another common experience of PTSD. This is associated with the far end of the spectrum, from flag to faint (imo there needs to be a fawn between those two points but I'll try to elaborate on this later in the post). Dissociation feels very checked out and disconnected from anything. For me it feels like my head is under water - things still register but everything feels very muted and distant. I stop feeling things in my body. I often need to have prompts or stimuli multiple times before it registers in my brain that I need to respond. This might be the classic, almost-ADHD situation where a person needs to click in front of your eyes and say "*Hey... Hey! Are you even listening??*" or it might be a timer or an alarm going off for a solid 60 seconds before that sound connects to the *I'm supposed to respond to this stimulus with an action* thought process. Both hypervigilance and dissociation can bring with it the impression that you have a sensory sensitivity that can resemble ADHD or autistic traits. You may find yourself in an extremely uncomfortable situation physically but this doesn't really register in your awareness until it manages to burst through the hypervigilance or dissociation where you suddenly feel the overwhelming need to address this situation. The same thing happens with other biological needs besides the sensory, such as hunger and tiredness. With PTSD you may not register your tiredness or hunger (or the need to pee or feeling uncomfortably cold or any other biological need for that matter) until it is bordering on an emergency. This can feel like poor interoception or like sensory sensitivity. The difference between autistic or ADHD traits and PTSD symptoms here is that a person will only experience these things some of the time, during periods of abnormal psychological states; I'm autistic - I *always* hate the feeling of velvet and velour, and I always have. When I'm struggling with my own PTSD symptoms and I'm hypervigilant or dissociated, I can lose connection with my physical experience and I can fail to notice my physical discomfort until it starts becoming excruciating, at which point I respond. But this is not my baseline experience. I have *always* hated rough wool and been unusually sensitive to it, throughout my entire life, because I'm autistic. I sometimes don't register that my skin is itchy due to hayfever until it feels like my skin is on fire because PTSD symptoms make me check out from my internal experience. (Hopefully that helps make a clear distinction between the two experiences where they appear to overlap.) With PTSD, after the peak comes the inevitable crash. For example, if you're hypervigilant or in a state of flight for a long period then a crash is inevitable as your brain and body cannot sustain this heightened state permanently. The hangover from these PTSD symptoms feels very similar to executive dysfunction. Maybe you were hypervigilant and barely slept a wink last night, you were too anxious to eat much, and now your brain is fried from the psychological state alone without even mentioning the impact of your blood sugar being a disaster and the impacts of insomnia on yourself. Or maybe your day has been one triggering event after another and you've been putting a huge amount of effort into keeping it together and you're just mentally drained from the constant strain. This is by all measure the exact same as executive dysfunction and it would be borderline impossible to tell the difference between typical ADHD executive dysfunction and a PTSD hangover (not a legitimate term btw, just one that makes sense to me and which doesn't feel inherently pathologising). The difference is in what caused this experience - with ADHD or autism, it's the consequence from trying to focus, dealing with sensory overload, masking and stuff like that. With PTSD there should be a very clear triggering event and a heightened psychological state that directly preceded your brain turning to mush temporarily as you recover. The last big thing that comes to mind is that it's common for people who experience PTSD to go into fawn mode. This is particularly common in CPTSD and afab peeps. Fawn roughly comes between flag and faint on that curve above. The fawn response feels very similar to masking, to the point where there's a discussion to be had about whether autistic people pleasing/fawning is itself a direct response to social rejection and trauma due to socialising, but that's something for a different post. The fawn response is where you become extremely compliant, where you lack appropriate boundaries and the ability to maintain them, where you engage in people-pleasing behaviours, and where you attempt to appease others especially where they feel like a threat (this doesn't mean they are towering over you and making threats against you, it may be a particular type of person who fits closely to an abuser's characteristics, it may be an authority figure, it may be difficult to identify what about someone tells your brain "This person is a threat!!"). Conflict avoidance and codependency are super common in the fawn response, and out of the spectrum above I'd argue that the fawn response is probably one that is much more difficult to identify since it can feel very similar in the level of arousal as what is more or less typical and since it is the most sustainable over a long period of time, at least in my experience. The fawn response, to me, is one where I find myself entirely focused on the emotional state of others without any connection to my own emotional state or beliefs (think principles, morals, ethical positions etc.) A person in a fawn response state might find themselves laughing at a racist joke, agreeing with a reprehensible opinion, or a violation of their bodily autonomy, in contradiction to their own values, because they are instinctively trying to avoid coming into conflict with another person by being assertive and maintaining boundaries, although this is just an example of the many ways it can manifest. How do you tell the difference between PTSD fawning and autistic or ADHD masking? That is a complicated question and it's very tricky. As a general rule, a person who experiences PTSD will only experience this state intermittently and often as a response to identifiable threats but, because of the ability to sustain a fawn response and because it's kinda pernicious rather than being extremely obvious like the other states, this is only a rough guide and it may take a lot of work to figure out when you're experiencing the fawn response and how to identify the signs of it. To conclude the main part of this post, those with PTSD you should find over time that the symptoms *generally* become diminished (with a strong caveat that sometimes processing trauma can make other stuff bubble up to the surface, making it feel like you're doing worse or going backwards, and sometimes you can bring about a sort of healing crisis as you bring old traumatic experiences to a head). With ADHD or autism, often the more you process things the more you become aware of your inherent traits like executive dysfunction, masking, people pleasing and so on. But they tend to be much more stable and persistent across (mostly) your lifespan whereas PTSD has a clear demarcation before and after the traumatic event(s), although of course CPTSD is the confounding factor due to the fact that it in particular is associated with early and developmental trauma so it's not always possible to remember back to a time where there was a "before", and for many survivors of child abuse there actually isn't even a "before" (with some pretty clear evidence that traumatic experiences in utero can produce PTSD symptoms in children after being born). So hopefully this helps to clarify things for you if you're trying to understand what you're experiencing or the ways that PTSD and ADHD (and in some respects autism) can seem to overlap. I know I haven't paid any attention to when they co-occur and this is because it's an extremely complex matter and it would take an entire post in itself to cover this (although I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that subject justice tbh). Just as a final passing thought, I think that a key strength of the neurodivergence umbrella is that for example, due to the significant overlap in experience of these different conditions, PTSD survivors may find a lot to be gained by borrowing from insights into sensory modulation and dealing with poor interoception coming out of the autistic part of neurodivergence (research, theory, and self-advocacy) and autistic people might likewise find there's a lot to be learned from managing people-pleasing and the fawn response from PTSD survivors. Of course there's a lot more that we can learn from one another too but that's the most obvious examples that spring to mind. (Turns out that I ended up talking about autism more than I anticipated. Oh well.)
