Michelle Kwan and her coach Frank Carroll, 1993-2001.

#he also coached her older sister karen. always intrigued by michelle’s decision to drop him as coach just 2 days before skate america 2001 #in interviews she said she needed to ‘take responsibility’ for her skating... hmm. #he coached since she was 10. ​​interesting that frank disapproved of her becoming a senior so young (12) despite passing the gold test #figure skating #mentor & pupil #michelle kwan #frank carroll

semi-heavy adhd vent tw 🫢🫢

personally of the opinion that the worst thing about adhd is the subtlety. we joke abt how obvious and silly it is but its barely visible 95% of the time.

& u spend your whole life not knowing if the mental struggle you have doing basic shit is what everyone deals with or if something's wrong. even when you KNOW you have adhd and even have it TREATED you STILL don't know if you're having a normal amount of obstacles.

i've been on meds for two years now and i just spent a whole fucking summer semester not sure if i was having adhd burnout or if my meds weren't working or if i was actually just being lazy. i think its all three, but who knows! and now i have a final tomorrow that i have to pass and i dont know if i can because i could barely fucking do any work all semester.

this happens like every year/semester but this one particularly stings cause it was supposed to be really good this time!! lots of free time, one class to worry about, the best nd-friendly note-taking system i've ever used, lots of flexibility, and friends to spend time with. it was even a science class!! chem, not bio, but better than non-science, right? but apparently, the only way i can ever stay motivated and on the ball is if im chained to a super-stressful and merciless schedule. so i have to choose between my long-term success and my mental health!!

i don't envy neurotypicals for the weird fucking ways they operate sometimes but good lord fucking jesus it sounds nice to be able to do things. i feel like a loaded gun with a busted trigger; i have all these amazing ideas and well-thought-out schedules and all the passion and desperation to follow through, but my brain and body just. won't. do it.

#vent #adhd #im really freaking out ngl but i will pull through because i HAVE to #i did the math and as long as i get like a 50 on this test i will almost definitely pass #but i'd at least like a -B #im just trying to find a way to be productive without destroying myself #cause i tried the insanely busy routine in the spring semester of my senior year of highschool and it worked!! #but i was sickly and exhausted and losing weight and everyone but me noticed #i kinda promised my friends not to do that to myself again #god i hate having adhd sometimes FUCK #i keep telling myself im only 18 and i'm still figuring out my adhd and unlearning the habits i learned growing up to survive #and that a lot of people do stupid shit and struggle in college even WITHOUT adhd #but omg how long is it going to take until i can rely on myself #im really scared im never gonna figure it out and i wont be able to do the things i wanna do #i just wanna sit in a lab all day and research cells or some shit man!! put me in a room full of bugs or worms or something!! jesus!! #this isn't the fun witty adhd stuff i like posting about but hey at least my brethren out there will be able to relate :) #adhd student #adhd struggles #adhd mood #adhd problems #neurodivergent #neurodivergent student #college #stem student #buggie's nerd stuff

If I wanted to describe my desired appearance, it would be that I want to look the way “unprotected sex with multiple partners” by against me! sounds

#Laura Jane grace has such sexy swagger in everything she does #speaking of I can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since she came out #I remember reading the exact article in rolling stone magazine right after state testing ended #that was so exciting to see someone I respected coming out #like if she can do that so can I right?? #not that I was aware I was non-binary at the time. I’m not entirely sure I even knew what the term meant. just transgender #I was pretty isolated in a rural community so it wasn’t until my senior year I would get more involved #with queer communities online instead of just lurking on yahoo answers questions about having gay crises #it’s wild thinking how much I’ve grown since then and kind of wore my body in like a pair of shoes #p

dude taiwanese high schools have a designated nap time?!? real?? i mean good bc ik that the school pressure is intense and they have rlly long hours but i didnt expect that

#like in high school? i mean that's good bc ik seniors test prep stress is Real but dang. i need that but at my job. im so sleepy #i was putting on yt videos as like. background noise and huh. didnt expect that

The weenie dog’s okay, btw. He was diagnosed with Old, so now he takes a liver support supplement

#she speaks #Ollie #fecal was negative and abdominal palpation yielded no discomfort #but the blood test showed some abnormal liver values #which is pretty common in senior dogs #and he’s like ~15 #Cushings is the big concern obviously #but he’s a healthy boy and we’re all very attentive to our animals #and we have an amazing vet team #no other symptoms of cushings were present as well so it’s just a matter of watching in case that changes #vet wants him back in in a month #and we’re gonna bring in the ~15 yo border collie for testing too just to be safe #she still acts like a puppy you’d never guess she’s around 15 or so years old #so does lala tbh if not for all the grey you’d never guess he’s around 15 either

i really want to start making a table collecting statistics on the audience demographics i'll perform my aubrey material for (like what generation most of the audience is, whether i'm performing in a predominantly queer space, etc.) and how well the jokes land bc like. i need to collect more data points before i can properly present my findings but the results so far have been fascinating

#again i do not have enough performance experiences to make any definitive claims about who ''aubery's audience'' is #but i find it funny that any time i show my aubrey material one-on-one to a queer gen z person #they're always like ''i love it but straight people will definitely hate it or not get it'' #and i get the inclination to be like. ''i like this thing so people like me will like this thing'' #and cishet society seems so polarized w/r/t queer topics it's like. the assumption makes sense #however. whenever i've done an aubrey performance in front of an audience that's predominantly queer and gen z #i've actually received a primarily negative response!! and somehow straight people have never given me shit for my aubrey material #(''well straight allys don't count'' i told some of my aubrey jokes to a joe rogan dudebro and he enjoyed them) #(which yeah maybe could be a mark against my comedy but i like to think i opened his mind a bit at the very least) #i really want to test my aubrey monologues in front of a primarily gen x/boomer audience #bc so far i only have actual performance experience in front of gen z or millennials #and the older people i've told jokes to individually or shown videos of my stuff have really liked it #luckily paul has said a goal for when i'm in town this summer is to get me to perform my aubrey stuff in as many different places as possib #for both queer audiences and non-queer audiences so i can gauge reactions since i don't want to be confined to one demographic #so i'll get a lot of data points this summer #@ paul get me a performing slot at senior citizen pride lmao these are my people #(shoutout to paul going ''jess stop collecting the old homos!'' last time i was in town) #(and when i imitated him and was like ''old gay men are not your pokemon!'' bellini was like ''ok but they may be your audience'') #also one data point i really want to see the variation on is how my one specific joke plays in these different demographics #bc i have a joke that like. it's literally not even about AIDS and doesn't punch down at all #i literally say ''if you're gay and over the age of 50 you could violate the geneva convention and i'd still be like support our troops'' #like obviously being like ''you have been through hell so i will let you get away with literal war crimes you deserve ultimate immunity'' #BUT. in the line right before the quote i use the phrase ''AIDS generation'' not as a derogatory term but being like. #this horrible thing impacted the entire generation y'know? and bellini and scott and their friends call themselves that it's just the term #but when i said the phrase ''AIDS generation'' in front of my gen z audience i heard gasps and felt like they all hated me #and when i did the same line in front of millennials it wasn't quite as striking but their eyes did widen #like i was suddenly an ''edgy comedian''. but like this is a part of our history and it does inform the story i'm telling #the story i'm telling is comedic but it's grounded in this real world context #and i'm like. @ the audience who was offended: when was the last time any of y'all spoke to a gay man over the age of 50 #bc bellini loves that section of the monologue and was offended that people would even take offense to that phrase

yk that military kid camp i went to? gone for like a week? there were so many homeschooled kids it was crazy. and people that skipped grades. like a 14 yr old is a junior and this 15 yr old is starting freshman in college. made me feel 1) dumb 2) better because i feel like i am inherently less awkward and less socially inept than the average homeschooled kid. i do feel bad a little bit. not a lot.

you are less socially inept than the average homeschool kid I promise. this includes me unfortunately. also don't worry about whether or not they're smarter than you I promise something is still wrong with them

#15 yr old freshman in college is probably just doing dual enrollment which I was SUPPOSED TO DO #but I was lazy and kept putting off taking the practice tests so now I'm a senior. and still haven't started dual enrollment #probably not going to #but yeah a lot of homeschoolers do dual enrollment bc supposedly? the first 2 years of college aren't really major specific #they're like. general classes everyone is required to take. so homeschoolers with flexible schedules have the time and ability #to take those during highschool. they also might just not be taking the highschool versions of those classes at all #like if you can do. entry level college biology or highschool biology well the college one is the same stuff but more in depth #so you don't need to take the highschool class #and then as for the 14 yr old junior well one homeschoolers tend to have less work #I don't really get homework because it's just schoolwork #like I just have to complete things on khan academy #and a lot of in school classroom time is just the teacher trying to manage 20 kids. which isn't a problem here #so I have like. 3-4 hours of schoolwork total in a day probably? you could totally backload more of it #to be finished quicker #anyway they're not any smarter than you they just do school differently in a way that sounds more impressive #but isn't gonna have that big of an effect later #finishing college 2 years early doesn't actually get you anything but your degree 2 years early #ask #ghoultaffy #hi jayme!

Whenever we mention anything about the Bandits in our particular flavor of worldbuilding it is absolutely necessary to note that our particular variation of Astotheles's Second-In-Command is an elderly damselfly missing the majority of her flesh limbs who limps around with a cane on the majority of days and won't let you take a job of any variety without basic self-defense knowledge.

She is the rock upon which half of the bandits' capacity for organization is founded and no one outside of the bandits knows who she is because she's an seventy-eighty-year-old grandmother with negative public presence in the direct shadow of someone charismatic enough to spearhead an attempt at starting an entire new kingdom on the land of the single queen with the current best public relations.

#we speak #ocs #zoza #it makes you look maybe a little bit dumb if you admit youre being consistently outsmarted by a seventy eight year old grandmother #who only has one out of six remaining flesh limbs after a series of what some may call “spectacularly dumb decisions and awful losses” #also she just plain doesnt get out much you generally meet her for the first time when she tests you on combat ability #and then shes just kinda Your Higher Up forever because despite there being other people doing her general job #she still has the most seniority and shes damn competent at getting people into formation #until she dies. which some people are skeptical will happen at all #(pointing at our own character) pissed off cockroach motherfucker who makes the bandits use a different calendar system

hopefully will b meeting with a neuropsychologist (??) before school starts to actually get tested!! thank fucking god 😭

#icarus speaks #i have literally been trying to get tested for adhd since. junior or senior year of high school #i am going into my junior year of COLLEGE now #like jesus christ. #admittedly some of that is on me for. well. the adhd #and forgetting to check/schedule stuff. and putting it off #BUT IT WASNT MY FAULT THEY LOST MY TESTS THE FIRST TIME #THATS NOT ON ME

I finally managed to pin down an idog plush that was 1) a color combo I liked, 2) in pretty good cosmetic shape, and 3) really cheap, with the Catch™️ being the seller didn't actually know if it still worked lmao I'm crossing my fingers that it will or at most it just needs the battery case cleaned, but I guess if there's more wrong with it than that I'm gonna be learning a whole other skillet for taking a plushie apart to clean and repair it.....

#as an aside though I'm so mystified by the number of people who think they can't test an idog because they don't have the original aux cord? #like... on the one hand is it not common knowledge they all have microphones? #(I'm not sure about the plush actually but everything else except the clip has a microphone) #and on the OTHER hand is it not common knowledge that aux cords are.... basically 100% interchangeable...? #anyway #old friends senior idog sanctuary

[trinkettes]

the true big bad of fantasy high junior year is that it's forcing me to learn even more about the american school system

#I know it's a lot of made up fantasy bullshit but like the way they're making fun of stuff is sort of telling you know #like just the concept of scholarships and applications #in the adventuring party where they talked about how youve already done your big tests and applications before senior year?? what the fuck? #like siobahn said then why are you there?? #also not something they've talked about but I'm so fucking grateful we do not have college application essays here #sounds like a nightmare for all parties
