Ultra ADHD, Ten Years Later

I might be misremembering, but back in 2016 there was this underlying sense of that year being “the strangest time in history”. Mass uncertainty, political polarization, social media adding fuel to every fire, and a general feeling of wanting to Get This Shit Over With and start a new page. How foolish we were back then.

It was at this time that I published Ultra ADHD, a bona fide Mess created out of a creative rut. In celebration of the 10-year(!) anniversary of Ultra ADHD, here’s a retrospective by yours truly. How was UADHD made, and why did I want to wipe it off the face of the Earth two years after it came out?

Lastly, if you’re still here, if you followed me on itch or social media thanks to UADHD, if the Cut Ending moved you and you sent me a wonderful message, thank you so, so much. And here’s to another 10 years.
