i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to
unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school
things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)
- how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem
- what common file types are
- some very basics on how to use “"developer tools”“ on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)
- how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private
- how to understand terms of service
(hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here’s a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS) - what a cookie actually is
- internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl
- basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)
- common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)
as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on
- vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)
- how to not get a virus while pirating something
- what a temporary email is and when to use one
- red flags that you shouldn’t trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)
- what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls
ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)
- an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous
- a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps
- a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)
- some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it
buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell
leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist
put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.
when that little voice in your head says “i dont need to write that down, ill remember it” that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!
plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.
if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge
if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.
its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because “this shouldn’t be this hard”. it is hard, so make it easier.
You are allowed to accommodate yourself.

brain no
sisterhandgrenadeofforgiveness:
rather than getting any kind of work done, writing or otherwise, my brain has concluded that its proper occupation tonight is composing a herp fan version of ‘12 nights of christmas’ that goes from “12,000 crickets chirping” to “and a python the size of a treeee”
I would like the opportunity to appreciate this when complete, if you wouldn’t mind sharing it. However, if not, rest assured that i will teach my kids to sing “and a python the size of a treeee” this year and explain nothing at all.
:3
ok rather than let myself dwell on it all night, how about i crowdsource it. i’ve got:
12,000 crickets chirping
11 axolotls
10 turtles trundling
9 morphs of noodle
8 ?
7 ?
FIVE GOLDEN FROOOOOGS
4 lumpy toads
3 ?
AND A PYTHON THE SIZE OF A TREEEE
THANK YOU EVERYONE HERE WE GO
