one of the most baffling parts of adhd is the food thing. you know the thing i'm talking about. like it is 8:30pm on a friday night, i had to work late and i know i really need to eat dinner but i don't actively feel my hunger right now and i can't think of anything i would enjoy consuming or that i have the energy to prepare but i'm also fully aware i'm gonna feel like shit if i don't eat dinner

you’re allowed to get up one day and just decide to change who you are. dress differently, speak up more, laugh out loud even though you’ve never liked your laugh, say what you want to, say hey to people you wouldn’t normally, get that confidence going. we don’t have to stay the way people see us out of the fear that they won’t like the us we want to be.

dam…….. that website “you feel like shit” (it’s like a questionnaire / troubleshooting guide for when you feel like shit) really works………………….. im not even all the way thru it and i even half-assed a lot of the suggestions and i already feel loads better

Ngl, am slightly annoyed that Hawkeye has fallen into the hearing tropes in portraying deafness and sign language interactions in media in which A) the deaf person is completely silent/mute and B) the hearing person in a signed interaction speaks what they’re signing at the same time.

A) Yes, deaf people can be silent, but a lot of times they’re not. Especially when they’re deaf from birth or a young age like Maya clearly was, there’s still vocalization that occurs in communication, it’s just less defined than if someone learned to speak before coming deaf or if they were put through a bunch of speech therapy sessions (which, that’s a whole other can of cultural worms—some have had positive experiences with it, many have had negative experiences with it, and a lot of Deaf individuals find simply find speech therapy useless and a waste of time since signing and writing are far more natural, but I digress). Because it’s different for everyone, I’d be more willing to give them a pass for this, although I will say it’s odd too because her father didn’t seem the type that would force her into speech therapy. Anywho, the other point annoys me more—

B) Do you know how hard it is to speak/sign two different languages at the same time? ASL and English have very different grammatical and syntactical conventions and it’s just ridiculous to me like—especially if the person you’re communicating with is deaf, it’s way easier to just use sign language to communicate. The only reason they have the person speaking is for the hearing audience and it’s painfully obvious in a fourth-wall-breaking, take-you-out-of-the-experience kind of way.

I suppose if you’re using SEE (Signed Exact English) or something, a hearing person might speak aloud while signing because that’s not a signed language with its own grammar so much as a manually coded form of English that just uses ASL signs (and some other ones so one can sign exactly how English would be spoken—I.e., SEE has a sign for “very” while in ASL you just show the intensity of the word with your expression and manner of signing). But speaking while signing like that, in my experience, tends to be a convention more of people just learning how to sign (which would not be the case for Kazi, who’s clearly been interpreting for Maya for a while). Or they are an interpreter and want to communicate with hearing and deaf people at the same time. But with Kazi, most of the time he signs with Maya it’s either a private conversation he wouldn’t have interest in sharing with the tracksuit goons, or they’re alone together anyways. And that’s why it’s just so 🤨 “really?” for me.

If you’re going to have Deaf individuals and signing in television/film, please actually have the signing. Frame it correctly so we can see the signs instead of focusing up on their face and cutting out their hands (that’s a whole other issue I have with it GAH). Let them communicate in the language most natural to them instead of constantly catering to a hearing audience.

Deaf folk have to read subtitles for every movie they see. Hearing people could stand to do so for a couple of scenes. (And better yet, maybe even learn some signs.)

MERRY CHRISTMAS,MY LOVELY FOLLOWERS! THANK YOU FOR STAYING WITH ME THIS YEAR! I LOVE YOU ALL!

heard that the queen is spending some time upstate on this big farm with other queens, where she's got lots of room to run around and play

I moved on. You moved on. We’ve gone down different paths for so long. We made choices. I chose Wendy. That’s her family down there. We care about each other, you know? You know, you don’t always get the dream house, but you get awfully close.

one of the Kentucky tornadoes traveled on the ground 227 miles, supposedly the longest any tornado on record has in the U.S. The death toll in the state is expected to exceed 100

I've been reading about the candle factory collapse and it's just nightmarish.

Why were there workers in the building at all? seriously I barely slept friday night because there were so many tornado warnings going off. The safety measures taken don't seem sufficient
