  Hey folks! If anyone here ever needs to reach me, if you email contact@stellamaris.games with “PMG” as part of the subject line my team will see it and cut through my ADHD to make sure you get attention.

  Hey PMG 👋 I’ve been struggling to keep up with maintenance of the instance and to tackle some of the stability issues we’ve been facing. But when things get hard, folks have a way of showing up to help. Give a welcome to @brook aka @brook@sunny.garden. I’m going to be handing off server ownership and Brook will be migrating us to the same setup used for sunny.garden, which he’s been running stably for years. Your current mod and admin staff will still be here as well, and we’ll all keep you...

  Every once in a while I stumble on this blog I wrote over a decade ago and am amazed, gobsmacked that nobody diagnosed me with #ADHD until my 30s https://www.esdin.net/post/productive-procrastination-1
