Glass Case of Emotion

*pinching the bridge of my nose*

TIL that postural sway is the body’s method of maintaining balance in response to changing external stimulus. More pronounced postural sway, linked to poor balance and coordination, often occurs in people with ADHD, leading to clumsiness and increased potential for injury, particularly in adults, especially in adults with a late-life diagnosis who didn’t have their postural sway corrected as children. 

It’s not just that if you have ADHD you’re not watching where you’re going so you trip and fall or walk into doorways or drop shit, which is what I’d been assuming (tragic backstory associated with this involving parental assumptions about my physical carelessness as a child that we’ll just take as read for now). 

The problem isn’t the deficit in attention. It’s that your body literally doesn’t always know how to stay upright or what parts of you are where in a given space because your amygdala is fucked up. And suddenly the two decades of jokes about bubble wrap are simultaneously not funny anymore and much, much funnier. 

Forty years old and the concussion was probably because I forgot how not to fall down. Sure. Why the fuck not. 

*Accidentally poking myself in the eye while pinching the bridge of my nose*

Every day with this nonsense, every day. It simultaneously makes everything make sense and makes a farce of it.

Uh. Also newly diagnosed in my 40’s. Have been making jokes about my lack of proprioception for years. I regularly miss doorways, walk into walls, bruise my knuckles accidentally punching things I was nearly trying to walk near, have objects I am holding spontaneously leap out of my hands in improbable directions…

You’re telling me that ADHD might not only explain me getting lost in time, but also lost in space?!

My friend, clearly we are designed to traverse dimensions. We already have no sense of time or place, we’re perfectly adapted to explore alternate realities. 

ok i’ll google it

oh so youre just a lazy whore

I’m proud of him

straight up thought that was the shadow I was like where tf your foot at dude

This is so scrambled it looks like one of those AI generated images and my brain didn't process it for a minute.

Somehow never thought about the photographer and -

- my God.

little used fantasy trope i love: when two people are playing cards in a shady bar and it's the tense moment where they show their hand but it's a fantasy so they can't say things like "full house" or "royal flush" so they same some nonsense like "three crowns and a dead crow" and the crowd is like "oooOOHH" so we know that's good

Other character smirks: "Well, I've got a castle on four omens."

The crowd "oohs" louder, so we know that it's Much Better™️

thats how i feel watching scenes with regular cards

Ok, so I was reading this news story:

So far so normal, right? But then:

Like what. And then:

Like, I think Alaska State Trooper Ken Marsh wants to be a romance novelist. 

well would you look at that

One of the best posts

it’s interesting how wii channel music became shorthand for millennial existential despair. it was composed to be cheerful and quirky, but as the miis are symbolic of ourselves they inherited our agony

as someone who didn’t have a wii are you guys okay

This is a roller coaster ride, start to finish.

depression: who would ever love you?

me: 

I really do hope that they never find the woman who ruined the Tour de France this year. I hope the international manhunt gets them nowhere and this woman becomes the D.B. Cooper of bad cardboard signs

For those unaware: A woman holding a single handmade sign up to the cameras at the Tour de France accidentally knocked a cyclist at the front of the pack off of his bike, causing a pileup that became the largest mass crash in the race's entire history. She fled the country and there is now an international manhunt to find her and sue her.
